Agree on Oblivion, also like it a lot and rewatch it from time to time.

Saw The Abyss[1] at the big screen recently, and that too held up very well in terms of special effects, despite being 35 years old and breaking CGI ground when it was released.

Oh, his theory wasn't about video games though, they didn't exist in 1910, it was about the full breadth of human sensorial systems being used in the context of our neurology for a prolonged period of time during high neuroplasticity (0 to 6 was his theory). I haven't really played video games, so I don't know much about them personally.
There is no next level. LLMs can take care of menial tasks you understand well, but you need to focus on learning more of the basics before you try to find better shortcuts through them. You need to always be ahead of the LLM - any output or code it produces that you don't fully understand means death.
They've screwed this up several times by shipping too soon and then having to backpedal. The web is not something you want to screw up because they don't own every website in existence.

Or just wait until it comes out on a streamer, and you'll enjoy it just as much with delicious Costco popcorn that costs around 30 cents per microwave packet. You can see if the hubbub about the movie was really worth it.

Oh, and if you want more popcorn, that's another 30 cents.

And you can pause it if you want to use your own private restroom.

And if it's a terrible movie you don't feel guilty if you leave the theater.

Also you can drink beer while watching a movie, if you're into that kinda thing.

Also you don't have to deal with teens on phones texting each other about how good or bad the movie is, or trying to take calls in the middle of the theater.

Or parents with screaming children that didn't want to afford a babysitter.

Or ...

Or ...

There was a time when movies were revered -- back when motion pictures came out, and it was a shared social experience, and people actually cared about it. People dressed up. There were ushers in uniforms.

~20 years ago when I saw one of the matrix sequels in a theater in Chicago, the popcorn was no longer freshly popped. It was stored in plastic trash bags, and then opened and poured out into the popcorn machines. It tasted like the bags it was stored in.
> I feel like you underestimate the degree to which AI developers are influenced in just the same ways as everybody else.

I feel like you're overestimating that. I work every day on developing LLM-based products, use them a lot while developing those, and have been doing so since November 2022 (beta release of GPT 3.5). So I should be a prime representative of the demographic you're talking about.

When a new frontier model is released, I run a series of tests, play around with it, and decide whether or not to use it based on that. Anything else would be ridiculously stupid, leaving either cost savings, product quality improvements, or development velocity increases on the table. We're not talking about databases or cloud VMs where there's a big switching cost. It's changing a model string and provider, so frictionless that it's a no-brainer.

We actually have some data that's on my side. Take a look at OpenRouter's model usage statistics. Note how OpenAI mmodels make up a tiny share on there, despite having more general mindshare on social media than all other model providers combined. Their data also shows people are very quick to switch when improvements to price/performance are released.

It's a bit like how vacuum cleaner specialists never use Dysons despite them having the most mindshare and overwhelming marketing budget. Regardless of vacuum cleaner specialists also just being normal people. Even if this one doesn't hold in your region, there's countless of these examples.

I'm afraid that css is so broken that even AI won't help you to generalize centering content. Otoh, in the same spirit you are now a proficient ios/android developer where it's just "center content - BOOM!".
> What we ended up with at the end of the ~2 days was a whole bunch of Python orchestrating 11 different prompts, no cases where the user could directly interact with the LLM, only one case where we re-used context across multiple queries, and a bunch of (basic) RAG to hide game state from the LLM until the user caused it to be revealed through their actions.

Super cool! I'm the author of the article. Send me an email if you ever just wanna chat about this on a call.

Roo Code is an open-source AI-powered coding assistant that runs in VS Code
"Moreover, when this non-conceptual, substantial knowledge professes to have sunk the idiosyncrasy of the self in essential being, and to philoso­phize in a true and holy manner, it hides the truth from itself: by spurning measure and definition, instead of being devoted to God, it merely gives free rein both to the contingency of the content within it, and to its own caprice. Such minds, when they give themselves up to the uncontrolled ferment of the divine substance, imagine that, by drawing a veil over self­ consciousness and surrendering understanding they become the beloved of God to whom He gives wisdom in sleep; and hence what they in fact receive, and bring to birth in their sleep, is nothing but dreams."

Agreed. We wouldn't have distributed version control, container environments, profilers, etc without people trying to to make programming better. But those are all based on improving single aspects (better versioning, repeatability, debug, etc).

When the goal is "re-invent programming to make it easier" all you get is a hodgepodge of half-ass solutions like GP said. Enhancing traditional focused workflows seems a lot more interesting to me than "coding assistant".

Hopefully AI tooling will continue to evolve. I don't see how you get around the reliability issues with this iteration of AI (GPT+RLHF+RAG, etc). Transfer learning is still abysmal.
This is the non-AI version of an AI CEO saying programmers will not exist in 5 years.
I went to see Dune 2 in the theater. Something called Cinema X I think that projected on the walls of the theater. For a panoramic landscape like in Dune 2 it was a visual experience you can’t get at home. There’s still a place for theaters if Hollywood produces the content.
Everyone daring to comment on LLMs should first read "Shadows of Mind" by Roger Penrose.
I can't tell from here, but the fact his version of the story got 'overruled' even though he was there makes me think it had just as much to do with image/future sales. They are trying to sell F-35's to an international market. Any equipment rather than pilot error is a major drawback to potential future sales, thus I think but can't tell, the guy was the sacrifical goat.

The decision making process he went through in those 1-2 minutes with what looked like a cascade failure with no available fallback to visual confirmation due to the whether must have been an extremely intense stressful experience.
> Most thinkers and ideologues that represent what is rotten in modern society have to thank Hegel.

You just need to jump through a few more hoops to get to the self-consciousness and then you'll see, it all makes sense in hindsight

(like the preface to the phenomenology, this comment will only make sense once you've read the whole damn thing)
That's fair.

But consider a retailer who has budget to spend with the goal of increasing sales.
Here's a study one of the largest affiliate networks did on shopping extensions - https://junction.cj.com/article/cj-demystifies-shopping-brow...

It boils down to making numbers go up. Maybe for you, Honey doesn't do much. But add Honey to the picture, and retailers are seeing an increase in sales and a decrease in cart abandonment. So you choose to partner with a coupon company and pay them commission and for some percentage of users, seeing that popup pushed them over the edge to make the purchase.

In the attribution chain, when you compare an initial referral vs. the coupon app, it's fair to say that the initial referral has more impact. So maybe you want the initial referral to take most or all of the credit. But what about when there's no referral? Doesn't the coupon app deserve to be a part of the chain if it is ultimately driving positive return?
I think if we fully understood this (both what exactly ishuman conciousness and how llm differs - not just experimentally but theoretically) we would then be able to truly create human-AI
I'm one of those weirdos that enjoys going to the theatre and paying that much. For me, going to a movie theatre is a way to be in a space that captures my full attention. It means going to watch a movie with intention, focus, and zero distraction. It feels like a ritual. The journey and build up to the experience is something I can't replicate at home. A change of environment away from my home lets experiences sink in deeper for me.

That's now how I use Netflix. I watch when I'm in the sauna and I've been on my phone long enough that I start to worry it will start overheating. Then I set up phone up outside the glass and Netflix gets my undivided attention. There are still so many great movies and tv shows on Netflix.
Trump should have been the target of defensive democracy, not the abuser of it. At least if US would have had a working version of the concept.

So your question seems to evade the point.
The Guardian US expects to hit $44 million in voluntary reader donations in the U.S. and Canada this year, up 33 percent over last year [..].

These contributions account for more than 60 percent of the American operation’s total revenue, which last year exceeded costs by $16 million

(the rest of its revenue comes from advertising and philanthropic support from foundations).

By my reckoning "more than 60 percent of the American operation’s total revenue" + "the rest of its revenue comes from" adds up to 100 percent.

Can you expand on what it is that you feel is not accounted for?
Just call it generative coding instead of trying to be hip. I have seen this phrase at least a few thousand times since its inception.

WeWork 2.0
What makes you think you have to spend "a few hours every week" to keep a FreeBSD setup up and running?

I have pretty much every server running from web server to mail server and I don't spend "a few hours" per YEAR to keep it running. about once a week I run a pkg update, pkg upgrade and service x reload in each jail to update the software and 99.9% of the time it works smoothly.It really doesn't get much simpler than that. This could also be done with cron like in your example, but I don't think automating updates is such a great idea. I think updates should be monitored.

I have a lot of confidence in the nginx/postfix/dovecot/etc developers ability to develop professional software.

FWIW I am also not a sysadmin.
This reads like an ad from the Hass Avacado Board.[1]

Marines, USAF couldn't have fired him since he wasn't under their command. But yes, it was probably viewed better to blame the pilot than the equipment that failed multiple times in under a minute by the powers that be in this case. They have to sell them, and they sell them to politicians not to other pilots.

I mean they should, film can get damaged too. The reason they don't are probably because it would be too expensive, bulky and film is single-use so also wasteful.

Even hobby level DSLRs have two card slots with option to write to both.

Professional cameras have tons of gear strapped to them, a second drive or some link to external storage is a no-brainer.

writeroom-mode looks great! I typically have my Emacs frame split into 5 windows (thanks to revive.el). Instead of spawning a new frame (C-x 5 2) to write a blog post or work on the book, I'll try writeroom-mode.
Especially if your LLM responses need to be fast and cheap, then you need short prompts

IME, to get short answers you have to system prompt an llm to shut up and slap focus in a couple paragraphs no less. (Agreed with the rest)
Thanks. I think Zalo's only big in Vietnam, so we're at one example outside of China, where the rules have never been the same anyway. GGP's premise doesn't seem to hold up, though I can see the idea of banks getting exceptions being potentially more accurate.

Though if it's similar to Line I wouldn't even count Zalo either, as said, from what I've seen with Line it doesn't have an app-store-in-app, all functionalities are predetermined and preinstalled. It just does a lot of things, but that in itself doesn't go against any App Store rules.
Plenty of people agreed, especially the many, many businesses that happily employ them. Come back with this "consent of the people" stuff when we have mandatory E-Verify.
Not only "our context window" is larger but we can add and remove from it on-the-fly, or rely on somebody else who, for that very specific problem, has a far better informed "context window", that BTW they're adding to/removing from on-the-fly as well.
I've spent the last six months building a coding agent at work, and the reliability issues are killing us. Our users don't want 'superhuman' results 10% of the time - they want predictable behavior they can trust.

When we tried the 'full agent' approach (letting it roam freely through our codebase), we ended up with some impressive demos but constant production incidents. We've since pivoted to more constrained workflows with human checkpoints, and while less flashy, user satisfaction has gone way up.

The Cursor wipeout incident is a perfect example. It's not about blaming users who don't understand git - it's about tools that should know better. When I hand my code to another developer, they understand the implied contract of 'don't delete all my shit without asking.' Why should AI get a pass?

Reliable > clever. It's the difference between a senior engineer who delivers consistently and a junior who occasionally writes brilliant code but breaks the build every other week."
This argument about progress falls apart as soon as you consider previous eras in sport that were found wanting. Was the bruising play of the 2004 NBA superior to previous kinds of basketball? Most people would disagree. Were the stickhandling of Martin Brodeur and the Left Wing Lock the culmination of decades of hockey "progress?" Not even a Devils or Red Wings fan would say that. Should everyone have celebrated when it was discovered in the 1990 World Cup that the most efficient strategy was to deliver the ball into the hands of the goalkeeper over and over? No, because it was incredibly boring.
You seem to deliberately ignore how easily people are manipulated. Just rulers have a responsibility to defend against that.

At some point this is just silly.

If you're assuming the user knows nothing then all tasks are hard. Ever try putting an image in a page if you don't know HTML? It's pretty tricky.
Kinda feel like this is tariff bait, but, regardless...

The article seems to do a pretty good job of telling the story. It's not terribly interesting. The big consortium of Mexican avocado growers made a giant push probably around 2015-2016 and dumped a ton of money into American and Canadian markets to sell avocados. It makes sense. California can grow them just fine, but so can Mexico.

I think the more interesting aspect is that, considering how resource intensive they are, it might even be a legitimate good trade case, especially considering the size of the American/Canadian buying population versus the contention in viable domestic production area. This could be (or, really, has been) a very happy arrangement.

I worked on some agave projects around the same time, so I watched on the sidelines while this was going on and knew some people working on the Avocados from Mexico brand. That part was pretty interesting, too, because it was a state-level initiative.
No, the issue in the article is that 3rd parties feel they need additional consent. That's on them if they choose to do it.
I wouldn't use that for Inform6. If you can't grasp the simples OOP language ever...

Also, Inform6 allows you far more interactivity than a CYOA game. Which both are systems based on states, but a text adventure allows timers, random events, even chat simulations...
Sensitivity to stimuli behind orienting impulse varies by individual and I wish I was less sensitive on daily basis.

These days screen brightness goes pretty high and it is unbelievable how many people seem to never use their screen (phone or laptop) on anything less than 100% brightness in any situation and are seemingly not bothered by flickering bright light or noise sources.

I am nostalgic about old laptops’ dim LCD screens that I saw a few times as a kid, they did not flicker much and had a narrow angle of view. I suspect they would even be fine in a darkened classroom.
Not really. They are test trains and don’t carry passengers. Fastest passenger trains are 320km/hr

The people who tout "you can pause it" as an advantage of home theater are just not consuming movies the way I consume movies.

If you are in the theatre, no one is going to talk to you about the movie, or comment on it for no reason, etc.

I still regret pausing Lost Highway (like 25 years ago) so we could go out and smoke a cigarette. It completely broke the spell and the movie just wasn't the same from then on.
The study is based on 263 galaxies.

It should be fairly easy to determine the rotation direction of any (spiral) galaxy we can see, based on reasonable assumptions about the relationship between rotation and the configuration of the spiral arms. There should be thousands or millions of visible galaxies for which this could be determined (out of the estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe). Perhaps I'm missing something, but why bother reporting a result from such a tiny sample?

It should also be possible to derive more detailed information that just clockwise vs. counter-clockwise. The rotation of a galaxy defines a direction (the galaxy's rotational north pole) and a point on the surface of an imaginary sphere. This could be determined by the galaxy's apparent rotational direction, its orientation, and its position in the sky. It would be interesting to see a plot of those points. In principle, they should be random. (If the points spell out "Go stick your head in a pig", I'll be very sorry that Douglas Adams didn't live to see it.)
Note that Texas is currently attempting, through legislation, to disadvantage solar and batteries and attempt to financially support fossil gas [1]. Also note that the US domestic fossil gas market is now exposed to global price movement due to LNG exports, which will cause the cost of producing power from fossil gas to rise [2]. Could Texas use cheap solar to desal? If Texas had different politicians, perhaps.

I think you miss my point. A 100% accurate llm would also be helpful, but is a different use case. Sometimes the tax guidance are incomplete or debatable. Sometimes reasonable, plausible, or acceptable is the target.
I shared the sentiment of this thread for a long time - have a nice setup at home and love to pause/rewind - but started to visit a small cinema as part of a club, to watch new and canvas-worthy flicks like Nosferatu and Brutalist. Regular hall with no fancy tech. It was a transformative experience, 20-30 fellow movie lovers, diverse of all ages. Smell of popcorn, you can turn and exchange a few commentary sentences (if you're the type), the grasps of people during a scene, the sense of leaving while credits roll and hasty deep discourses in the atrium.

I kinda got those remarks from Coppola and Tarantino that I found of "old man yelling at cloud" category before.

The big global business behind it surely is dead - for non-blockbuster genres - but I can't imagine the culture behind it going for a long time. It's the societal standard to enjoy this genre, and a tradition the streaming industry builds upon and uses, there is nothing else. The above flicks had minimal budget in terms of Hollywood. Cinema is here to stay.
... to be clear, you're saying that banning prejudicial activities at companies is a reflection of how "entitled" the US has grown to be?

You understand why they're banned, right? We have a very recent and loud history about why we ban discrimination like that - or at least did.
> no one actually likes to write code

between this and..

> But everyone is trying to write less code by themselves with the proliferation of reusable code, libraries, framework, code generators, metaprogramming

.. this, is a massive gap. Personally speaking, I hate writing boilerplate code, y'know, old school Java with design patterns getter/setter, redundant multi-layer catch blocks, stateful for loops etc. That gets on my nerves, because it increases my work for little benefits. Cue modern coding practices and I'm almost exclusively thinking how to design solution to the problem at hand, and almost all the code is business logic exclusive.

This is where a lot of LLMs just fail. Handholding them all the way to correct solution feels like writing boilerplate again, except worse because I don't know when I'll be done. It doesn't help that most code available for LLMs is JS/TS/Java where boilerplate galore, but somehow I doubt giving them exclusively good codebases will help.
