We act like animals -- mammals, specifically -- when we do not seek to become more humane, a better humanitarian.

"They are like the animals, only worse."

We are the only creatures that can consciously self-evolve ourselves toward complete compassion. That doesn't mean that 90% of us care enough about others to do it, as they obviously don't.

That is the reason this world is in the mess it's in. We could choose to compassionately care for our fellow human beings, but most people are too self-absorbed and too self-righteous to take the necessary steps.

As to what you say about animals, you're just plain wrong, but you're obviously committed to your worldview, so I wish you good luck with that.
This isn't prose, it's poetry.
Most of the time that's fine, but then you'll find a bit of code that's broken and the change that added it makes no sense and the commit message is empty. Kind of infuriating.
I got my start climbing at City Rock in the mid 90s when I was in grad school at Berkeley. It was a great place and really defined the model that other climbing gyms copied and built upon.

Peter would also show up at Indian Rock sometimes, a popular outdoor climbing spot in Berkeley. He was an incredibly good climber and a friendly guy to boot. It took me a fair number of years to realize that the outgoing guy at Indian Rock was actually the founder of City Rock!

He's one of those who seems to get a lot of satisfaction from building something cool and inspiring people, without much regard for money and traditional status. We could use more people like that.
Judging from the questions I've received from clients and managers I think the average person has no clue what our work involves. They certainly don't know that software has an architecture, that someone had to create that architecture. All they know is I type on a keyboard and the result is software that probably doesn't do what they want.
The "everyday tasks" you specifically mention involve motor skills that are not useful for measuring intelligence.
Going from high-level to the intermediate representation loses a lot of the semantic information about why something has been implemented in a certain way.

LLMs essentially read their own code when producing it, so if they lose the abstractions then they can lose the context around what they were doing and why they were doing it. It also makes it harder for them to modify their existing code.

I could certainly believe that it's plausible that there's a low level representation that LLMs would find easier than our own languages though - but an existing IR is unlikely to be it.

Also more practically speaking, LLMs struggle to write in languages that they don't have a large training dataset for.
Weirdly, the original algo is showcased visually, very easy to understand even by 9th graders. While the new one...can't be or quanta woulnd't show it to us just like that?

What I'm trying to state is that if the new algo is so much better, that it can't be explained visually, then the simplicity perhaps was sacrificed, which was what kept the original algo going for 300 years...
Or depending on your outlook, for a couple of years, and then we will no longer be participating in these or any other cognitive exercises.

Yeah I think the most important thing to think about when writing a commit message is the intent; a LOT of people use it as a "work log", describing what they did like "removing a character" or "add color picker".

But a commit message needs to describe what the commit does, when applied. A good rule of thumb - also explained on the git site [0] - is to put it in a template like "When applied, this patch will <your commit message>".

The grandparent comment is almost there though, using the right tense of "fix" instead of "fixed", the latter being in the work log form of "I fixed such and such".

It's great that LLMs provide opportunity for non-software engineers to make tech products, but I wonder how those "vibe-coded" products will fare when faced with actually maintaining the code (and also accounting for tech debt..)

I used to revile (can you use this verb this way?) M$ in the 1980s/1990s as well, but at the moment I could think of several tech companies that I like even less. And yes, technically they can still be considered a monopolist because of Windows, but it has lost a lot of its significance...
A one-liner: sure. A ticket? No; ticket systems are transient and not always available. You shouldn't need to open an external system that may no longer exist in 20 years time (for example) to get the full context.

Compare the Linux commit history, every commit has its full context and explanation and they do not rely on external systems.
There's always the option of not using it.
> Commit messages are the narrative of your project's history. They help others (and your future self) understand why changes were made, making collaboration smoother and debugging less of a nightmare.

Yes. And yet:

> - Keep each point brief and focused.

> - Use bullets (-) and avoid lengthy explanations.

No, they lost me there. You often can’t tell the necessary narrative in a single sentence, and you frequently can’t explain why changes were made briefly, and I strongly refute that “avoiding lengthy explanations” should be a goal in commit messages.

I exceed ten lines very frequently, and when working professionally I’ve tended to exceed fifty lines at least twice a year. Coworkers have commented favourably on my commit messages, as unusually useful, and some have even lengthened theirs more often after experiencing them.

I don’t know what my record is, but it was more than 300, though that was as part of a long-lived refactoring branch that I was needing to rebase every week or two for six months as I continued working on it, migrating from an in-house concatenation-and-#ifdef module builder to ECMAScript Modules, and I was maintaining the dozens of commits meticulously, some regenerated automatically and some requiring manual effort, and so I was detailing the semantics of the changes across a large number of files, so it might not count quite so much. But I’ve done over a hundred a few times for other reasons. Keep your mind open, and look at the longest commit messages in popular repositories, and you’ll find there’s a lot of scope for very long commit messages.

—⁂—

I loathe Conventional Commits. It saps the art out of the commit message, the tags are frequently badly applicable, the benefits are negligible to negative (changelogs shouldn’t be generated from commit logs—they should be their own thing), and they’re simply ugly.
Yeah. I feel weird about this. If used wisely, I can see how a tool like this will help good teachers produce better lessons faster. But if I think back to some of my teachers, I know that they'll put in a phrase, click a bunch of times, and then present whatever comes out as-is to children.

Although I guess whatever the LLM comes up with will not be much worse than what they would have come up with on their own.
Mind you, I haven't used Macs since last intel ones, but my current workhorse of Zephyrus 14 2023 has at least comparable mics to last intel 15" and 16", and better speakers. T14g5 AMD I have from one contract has slightly worse speakers than that but comparable to the Macbooks I used (if not slightly better, the Zephyrus just has a whole grade higher amplifier setup with 4 speakers). And doesn't vary sound based on where it's placed :V

I haven't bought for built-in sound quality in the past (or ever, it's backup's backup after all), but I do remember lots of laptops offered with Harman-Kardon sound system, including hardware implementation of the dynamic compensation system in M-series Macbooks. Except also usually with way beefier speakers. Microphone arrays came in later arguably, but that is more correlated with availability of audio coprocessors - T470 had not great twin mic (mac was better there), but new ones easily handle it beyond my needs.

Way above "last choice backup solution" that "built in speakers and mic" are used for by me.
The detector using the scattering of the infrared light emitted by the laser is long range.

They have used a second detection method with a CMOS camera that detected the fluorescence of the plasma produced by ionizing radiation.

What about Gitmoji? [0] Didn't get much love when discussed here[1] but fun concept. At least it makes you think about the commit message, which is better than not. And each commit having one selected emoji forces you to make one commit per improvement, so you can't bundle stuff together.

Not Greg/team, so unrelated opinion. o3 solution for ARC v1 was incredibly expensive. Some good ideas are at least needed to take that cost down by a factor 100-10000x.
"Conventional wisdom" being less than 5 years old, so not really conventional in any sense of the word.
I'm not sure that's quite correct about the Turing test. From Wikipedia:

"Turing did not explicitly state that the Turing test could be used as a measure of "intelligence", or any other human quality. He wanted to provide a clear and understandable alternative to the word "think", which he could then use to reply to criticisms of the possibility of "thinking machines" and to suggest ways that research might move forward."
It has zero EQ and just uses phrases of learned and presumably fitting expressions for a therapy situation. But don't let that get you on the road to existential dread.
I'm sure that's what the horse-drawn carriage drivers said about cars.

Have you considered having slides that teachers have refined uploaded back to the system and made available to use? If suggest keeping only the best, you and the refiner could get a royalty. Essentially, attract them with the AI, retain then with traditional curated [teaching] resource sharing?

Does 'use this slideshow but swap the slide about executions for one about fashion' type adaptation work well?

If I adapt a slideshow, can I add it to the prompt so a set of questions is generated from it?
This is awesome. I love anything that helps me discover new personal sites/blogs.
I quite like my current system.

One word naming the topic or area or system that was changed, then colon separated with a very short sentence giving a summary of the changes, then two lines later (if necessary), a bullet point list of the most important/noteworthy changes, then an explanation for why a thing was changed (if any change in the commit warrants it).

Honestly, I know most people won't go beyond the first line, but I do find the rest of it very helpful for my own work if I have to go through the commits sometime in the future.

It also helps that most of it is optional and I decide on a case by case basis whether just the first line is sufficient or I need the whole thing.

I see in the comments people questioning the purpose of a bullet point list, but it actually is helpful. I don't want to have to check the diff for every single commit if I don't have to. It's time consuming. If a commit message can tell me immediately if it touched something I'm interested in, that's a big time and effort and mental bandwidth saver.

Example:

auth: Refactored and fixed edge cases

- Fixed incorrect handling of token groups

- Added role enum to replace static strings

I've seen Mercedes-Benz test their car in camouflage even though the car was already unveiled. I guess they didn't wanna go through the effort to unwrap it. They were also a long way from Germany (with German plates).
Sure, but in bigger projects there's going to be thousands of commits and hundreds of thousands of lines in a diff; reading code becomes infeasible then.

But it's the only way if there's no commit message discipline, and even if there is it'll be difficult.
It's time to walk away. You are no longer enjoying it and could leave with a fat paycheck.

If they will run the company to the ground, you'll end up with nothing and waste your time. It's better to have something than nothing.

If you are afraid of leaving, and then later seeing your cofounder be successful, because perhaps you were wrong on your take that it is running the company to the ground... you could negotiate to keep a small stake at the company.

I wouldn't though. In the end, money is what matters in business. You can find another purpose or another idea worth pursuing.

When you do, message me :-)
Yes! Please tell me _why_ the commit happened. The _what_ is in the diff, so almost no need to tell me in the commit message. Often I get commits with some LLM-generated slop in the commit message. It always looks good and always tells nothing. Commit messages like that are garbage.
I agree but it's interesting to observe that occasionally a work can morph. Racket is a good example. Initially an academic toy, these days it performs quite well and has an expansive ecosystem.
Congratulations!
I feel that you are on to something great. In standalone, chatgpt and other tools are great, but there is something about the visual part of this tool that's a key differentiator. Like a new type of learning. Keep the good work!
To be fair, the parent poster named it exactly: crisis.

At least in English, I think it's an appropriate term. Not on the euphemism treadmill yet, thankfully. (In my native language the equivalent word has acquired the derogatory connotations of "adult tantrum", so people go for describing all sorts of things as "panic attack" instead, which ends up being imprecise. We are not an emotionally literate people.)

Asking in a non-accusatory way: could you perhaps explain what caused you to not notice that he did in fact provide a word for it? (Asking for my own mental and social health, because I have experienced difficulties with this sort of "invisible gorilla" occurrence.)
Yeah, but why care if they did not see the warning and they actively clicked on it? It is their fault.
I'd also consider that this will become increasingly important in the age of LLMs. Want Cursor to one-shot a change? Dollars to donuts the agents of the future will perform a lot better with well-reasoned, well-documented commits to use as reference.

On the other hand, job security?
I second the Angular-style git commit message convention (https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/main/contributing-do...). Though, it is also art that I have lost.

iirc some european countries are currently exploring the idea of "law as code", i.e. law in a machine-readable format that can be parsed algorithmically. iirc austria already made some progress by converting some of their lawbooks to such a format. (I remember being in a presentation about that topic, and I explicitly asked about some actual laws being converted, and they actually showed some of these laws, but I can not find publicly available sources I could link, except some general corporate statements like this https://wwwdev.unisys.com/our-clients/advancing-public-servi... ). EU seems to work on something similar, e.g. https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/endorse...

> Backing this one up with my own experience of ADD (I was never hyperactive):

I'd like to add also that a lot of people without ADD/ADHD think "hyperactivity" must be stereotypical "hyperactive annoying brat that acts out", something that is still haunting diagnosis in Poland.

Meanwhile a lot of people sorta "channel" the hyperactivity in different ways - I personally have tendency to do all sorts of stimming-like behaviours that are pretty much "designed" to not make a mess where I am, or purely mental stuff, then "acting out" physically a bit when I am completely in private.

Unless of course I could hit the right kind of tasks to do that nicely slot exactly where my ADHD shines (Flying airplanes is wonderful)
Europe was not "flooded" by anything and I see as many Ukrainian men as women here (it's illegal for men to leave Ukraine)... Although most of Ukraine has not seen combat, so effectively they are migrants who prefer to be in Europe than in Ukraine. The UK government even actually paid people to lodge Ukrainians for some reason...

This is what I am saying: superficial emotional reactions played by well-crafted propaganda and people confuse that with "reality".
I did the first 10 from ARC-AGI-2 (hard) set. 9 were in one try, 1 was in two.

Depends. In my practice (selfie camera videos) I found it to be unbelievably good.
Isn't everyone just putting all the changes in code automatically to an LLM of your choice to create a git commit message already?

>if you can't be arsed to write it, I can't be arsed to read it

I don't write my own textbooks either ;) The fact is that the slides are just an aid. Teaching is performance art. A good teacher uses slides as a handy scaffold, the magic happens in person, when the teacher *presents*

>A good presentation is INFINITELY better than a mediocre one.

of course, and perfect is the enemy of good. I know it would be nice for every lesson and every presentation to be absolute perfection, but that does slightly conflict with reality.

>creating a GOOD one requires a deep understanding of the matter

which teachers have

>, a cohesive plan and direction for the talk to go,

which teachers have spent decades perfecting

>and the ability to imbue your personality into the slides as well, so they're complimentary to the lesson.

Yes of course. I think there's a slight mismatch with regard to how you're perceiving the tool. The AI generated content is more of a starting point. As a teacher I'm constantly refining adding to and removing content from *all* the resources I collect. There is no one-size fits all. It's no different with SlideHero.

I'll give an example. I've taught introductory Computer Systems to year 9 students 2 times per year to around 4 classes a semester for about 20 years. That's probably close to 200 times I've deliverd that course. I can teach the content in my sleep. I still find it useful to generate a slideshow because a) it's 99% faster for me to review the content than it is to write it by hand, b) there are areas like networking that I just don't enjoy so much and GPT does a better job than I do here and c) interestingly gpt will surface new ideas and perspectives I hadn't considered before!

Remember that the slides are fully editable. There is little expectation that a teacher will hit "generate" and present exactly what the ai produces. In the exact same way as I'll find a good YouTube video, but won't play it all. I'll skip around to the parts that are relevant to my particular class and sometimes even to a particular cohort.

>I know teachers are swamped with too much work and not enough time to do it in, but this feels like the classic Technologists curse

Believe me, AI in the classroom is a *massive* force multiplier. Good teachers can be great with AI.

>I mean, what if the answer is fighting to get more teachers with more time available to prepare their classroom materials

Perfect, but I got a class of year 9 history students tomorrow and I'm teaching a new topic that I'm not familiar with... a little help from ai is going to make my lesson *better* not worse, not least of all becuase I have more time to devote to other areas of prep.

Can this be explained in laypersons terms? Can radioactive material such as a warhead or smuggled material be detected from a distance? What distance? (the article says 10m which I assume means meters). Can it do so through material such as shell casing?
Legacy 2FA like OTP or SMS isn't going to protect you from this kind of phishing (as shown). However webauthn with a security key or passkey would have prevented this. Unfortunately mailchimp doesn't support those.

This isn't really consistent with the theft statistics, e.g. 68.6% of stolen phones are iPhones[1] (in the UK where they have ~44% market share). This is presumably because of higher resale value etc., but the premise that nobody cares to steal them anymore evidently hasn't panned out.
