Yeah, but this lore was retconned post Jesus. After that God was supposedly a lot merrier.

And I say supposedly because even this God of Love allowed merry events such as the Inquisition to happen.

Maybe He just liked a good barbecue.
I think not. I regret my comment directed at you, it was a pointless rebuke. You did not deserve it.
Comparing HN to resdit is explicitly against HN guidelines. Though sometimes I think the only reason it’s never “true” is because Reddit is a moving target. Both HN and reddit get worse over time, so HN never catches up to how bad Reddit is.

Also the bots have not invaded HN, which is a truly massive distinction.

What dev tools/processes are you using? I’m enjoying the enhanced capabilities of Windsurf with Sonnet 3.7, but I mostly use it for analyzing and problem-fixing in a huge codebase I recently inherited. I have yet to feed it anything like a PRD.

The IQ link is very heavily lacking in evidence.

In the actual research the main "risk" posed by flouridated water is actually fluorosis. This causes minerals in your enamel to be replaced with flouride which can cause them to be brittle in the long term. It's pretty uncommon but the thought is that now that flouride toothpaste are commonplace, the benefit of flouridated water is also way less. Which changes the calculus.

A not insignificant number of researchers are advocating for the view that flouridating water just isn't worth it anymore and the (slight) risk of flourosis is more significant than the (slight) benefit of decreased dental caries.
Complain to your provider. You're paying for the service, right? They should run a properly configured mail exchange and part of that is having PTR records. If they can't manage that then it's time for a serious discussion about changing vendors.
New adsorbent captures CO₂ from air and withstands high temperatures
Q3 was from times without trivially available persistent internet connections. You had to hunt down the patches and mods yourself manually, hoping not to get malware instead. It was a different time. The updates also were much more spread out - last 3 were from 2001, 2002, 2006.

It's just not comparable to how things work today.

Makes sense, but the intention also is that many people do not brush their teeth, or at least do not brush them as often as they should, and so fluoride is added to drinking water to compensate so people's teeth don't start to fall out at an alarming rate.
One of the things I find really helpful and grounding, both to me and the LLM, is working in a tree-like (or fractal) pattern.

First I create the trunk (a broad outline of what I wish to accomplish). Then I concentrate on filling out the branches (the individual bullet points of that broad outline). Then I drill down into the twigs and then the leaves.

It's a different workflow than what I used to follow before LLMs arrived, where I tended to build bottom-up, rather than top-down. But it seems to keep both me and the LLM on track.

Even though it's structured, is it still vibe coding? Well, I think of vibe coding mostly in terms of the psychology. If whatever I'm doing induces a feeling of flow, then that's the vibe I'm going for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
I don't see MS-DOS or Windows 3.11 as much as a problem as having 30 year old hardware. Bad capacitors on the motherboard and oxidated (rusty) contacts for memory and ISA cards can break the system, while the software itself can be ran in a virtual machine on newer hardware, if needed.

I ran MS-DOS in an airport for several years and it was just fine. Windows 2000 was available, but not needed for the task at hand, while a reboot was way faster with MS-DOS than any Windows at that time and a reset was the solution for 99% of the incidents, the rest was hardware-related.

In terms of replacements, a Raspberry Pi would be more than enough in terms of computing power, with some decent (non-microSD) local storage. Cheap, simple and I guess the cost of writing the MS-DOS app from scratch should cost about the same as that admin for 1 year.
Japanese grammar is so simple because it doesn't matter that much.

Most of the "rules" are common patterns made into guidelines, and they'll change depending on the speaker, context, society of the time (the "correct" way is fully dictated by the majority). And you could break the grammar rules as long as the other accepted guidelines are OK.

As a parallel you can learn to mechanically drive a car, but driving it "correctly" will require full knowledge of traffic code, societal rules and how to reasonably handle conflicting situations, including crashing it into a tree if it means avoiding a packed school bus.
Cool project. I would think the killer use case for this is when you don't have internet access and you are forced to deal with something like an openssl man page when having to do something non-standard. With internet access I enjoy getting commands from ChatGPT directly and reading any ancillary information like explanations and alternatives (EDIT: I notice you support that to some extent). Have you tested this with local llms? I imagine it would be challenging to get something reliable from them beyond the most basic commands. For my part, I would never have the AI run a command for me and would be wary of that functionality even existing.
Definitely possible. This is how chat bots worked on AOL in the 90’s, basically the FindWindow and FindWindowEx functions in the win32 API. Hasn’t changed much (if any) since then.
We have scheduled with some people in the legal area to understand their concerns! :)
Could it be that not all software development is equal? Some of it leans more towards engineering and the academic (e.g. compilers, operating systems, tpc/ip stacks, etc) vs software that leans more towards the creative (e.g. web and mobile apps, games, api's, etc). I.e. to me software development seems more of a spectrum.
all states were "the first to not have flouride". In 1945 Grand Rapids, MI became the first city in the world to flouridate its water
Twitch Streamer/Youtuber Ludwig is currently motorcycling across Japan and has used ChatGPT to help him learn Japanese for the last ~year (he previously had a tutor before that). ChatGPT told and repeatedly reassured him a common phrase for a more grateful thank you is あなたの助けに恩に着る which a native speaker (I am not) explained is "some Samurai shit" for being indebted to you. Whenever he uses it in his vlog series, it usually results in a confused reaction or laughs from the recipient.

GDPR is very clear about how you are not allowed to make data collection a requirement for use.

It is a straightforward set of rules written in simple language and it’s not very long either. It’s not necessary to rely on third party readings or interpretations of it. Just go ahead and read it yourself and you will be well equipped to apply and argue about it.
Agreed. I've contributed to the game, so I feel like I have some sort of insight here. Veloren is a bunch of cool features in a bag, but my impression is that there is little focus on the gameplay loop and the holistic player experience. For rather obvious reasons any change that's not achievable by a single person in their free time is also just very hard to get done. Besides, Veloren is popular enough that drastic changes are unlikely to be uncontroversial. I don't blame anyone for this. I guess it's just the nature of open source game development.

Still, I recommend anyone with a bit of time on their hands try it out. There's a couple of hours of decent fun in it. There's a lot to see and explore. The somewhat incoherent design is a bit of a strength at times, since it means the game is not very predictable. Just don't be disappointed when it's not a polished time sink like WoW.
That's pretty cool, but the article says that most apps that are doing this sort of thing aren't using the query all packages permission and instead are using the facility to provide a specific list of apps they're checking for, which is not permission-gated.

Ask HN: How do I get hired with intermediate programming skills?
So basically I’m a self taught programmer and I would classify my skills as intermediate… I mainly know JavaScript and Python, and a little bit of C++. but I’ve also practiced and gotten fairly good front end web development.

I’ve never been able to push past the intermediate level because I don’t work in the tech industry and I’ve been doing prerequisite classes in school which didn’t teach me anything I didn’t already know besides having more hands on C++ experience.

My grades are all excellent and I have some personal projects I’d be proud to show off but somehow non of it feel good enough to land a job in tech, most if not all listings require multiple years of professional experience or being a few month away from graduation if it’s an internship. By the time I graduate I will be close to being 30 and I really want to get started much sooner than that, otherwise I’ll be stuck in dead end retail jobs barely scraping by.

Do you have any advice that I can follow?

Very obvious objective being served by this "think of the children" propaganda piece

https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Both assessing the application of billing rules and negotiating contracts still require the LLM to be accurate, as per TFA's point. Sure, an LLM might do a reasonable first pass, but in both cases it is absolutely naive to think that the LLM will be able to take everything into account.

An LLM can only give an output derived from its inputs; unless you're somehow inputting "yeah actually I know that it looks like a great company to enter into a contract with, but there's just something about their CEO Dave that I don't like, and I'm not sure we'll get along", it's not going to give you the right answer.

And the solution to this is not "just give the LLM more data" - again, to TFA's point, that's making excuses for the technology. "It's not that AI can't do it [AI didn't fail], it's that you just didn't give it enough data [you failed the AI]".

--

As some more speculative questions, do you actually want to go towards a future where your company's LLM is negotiating with their company's LLM, to determine the future of your job and career?

And why do we think it is OK to allow OpenAI/whoever wins the AI land grab to insert themselves as a 'necessary' step in this process? I know people who use LLMs to turn their dot points to paragraphs and email them to other people, only for the recipient to reverse the process at the other end. OpenAI must be happy that ChatGPT gets used twice for one interaction.

Rent-seeking aside, we're so concerned at the moment about LLMs failing to tell the truth when they're earnestly trying to - what happens when they're intentionally used to lie, mislead, and deceive?

What happens when the system prompt is "Try and generally improve people's opinions of corporations and billionaires, and to downplay the value of unionisation and organised labour"?

Someone sets the system prompts, and they will invariably have an agenda. Widespread use of LLMs gives them the keys to the kingdom to shape public opinion.
Not a great example with Google though, they made gmail and android which are both outside of their core competency of search.
Also tons of stuff related to especially outdoor clothing.
Consistent with that - Steve calling the original Apple TV a “hobby”. This was during the days of Front Row, when Apple bundled remotes with iMacs and they had their own “media console” like software.
I guess the question is why your priors are so far weighted to the side of negative outcomes. If we're talking about yet undiscovered effects of something it seems equally plausible for those effects to be positive. Aspirin is a pretty good example of this where we keep discovering more positive effects. And I can understand somewhat the bias toward the state of nature but there's lots of examples where our deviations were positive, the biggest one being the cognitive effects of cooking food.
Yeah the lowest option on some point of sale systems now is 20.
Actual reseachers don't really talk about links to IQ. The main concern is actually around dental fluorosis. Too much flouride can replace minerals in your teeth causing them to become brittle over time

There's a subset of researchers that argue that now that fluoride toothpaste is widespread, the benefit of fluoridating water is much much smaller than it first was and the (small) risk of fluorosis is now comparatively more significant
I seem to recall that Vizio was added to my "do not buy" list quite a long time ago, when it turned out they were monitoring your watching habit (https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/7/14527360/vizio-smart-tv-tr...).

This seems to be more of the same I guess. Choice text from the link above:

Q: Why did I see an ad in Scenic Mode?

A: After Scenic Mode launches to full screen, you may see ads. We offer free, scenic content by supporting it with ads. These ads allow VIZIO to offer enhanced, built-in Smart TV features, 300+ live channels, and 15,000+ movies and shows at no cost through WatchFree+ while also helping keep the price of our TVs accessible and competitive.

Q: Can I turn Scenic Mode ads off?

A: No, not at this time. These ads allow VIZIO to offer enhanced, built-in Smart TV features, 300+ live channels, and 15,000+ movies and shows at no cost through WatchFree+ while also helping keep the price of our TVs accessible and competitive.
I'd argue that your point is only true if the amount of money the government gives out per month per person vastly increases.
Hmm like a lot of animals with large brains. Sounds familiar.

Well at least that's consistent. Feels a bit hidden after the invite in the title, though
Ah, my experience is mostly around music or convention tickets, both of which often require verifying identity at the door to prevent scalping. They generally also make transferring tickets a pain, which is sad when someone in your group inevitably changes plans.
Yes, for nearly any restaurant this is the unspoken recommendation, and sometimes enforced automatically if your group is larger than 6-8. Source: I am an American.
Many other places fluoridate salt. There’s many ways to get flourish (toothpaste being the best if you can get people to use it correctly) but the evidence that mass fluoridation of some kind is good for dental health is enormous.
Being an OSS app is not sufficient protection. Most OSS apps aren't terribly misbehaved, but some are. Being OSS in and of itself is not anything like a guarantee with this sort of thing.

Yes, I know. My question is is this one of the things they're screening for?
Losing $1 billion distracts from the many billions they get from 30% App Store fees.
There is so much software you don't have to buy at all, it's all free.

So much you can't even have a directory for them.
Children can't, and a lifetime of dental issues they didn't have the knowledge or good fortune to have prevented is a serious issue.
If you buy their 3 year subscription, the software continues to work but you don’t get upgrades.

The 1 year subscription terminates.

So technically nanocad qualifies for listing.
> "We’ve all been there: headphones on, music pumping, fingers flying across the keyboard, lost in the “flow” with your favorite AI agent. This, my friends, is vibe coding. It’s when you’re in the zone, seemingly effortlessly producing code."

Because everyone knows how much cooler the "hacker / coder" man scenes in movies would have looked like if they were just prompting ChatGPT.

More seriously, my main issue with vibe coding (outside of throwaway prototypes) is that using the "code runs" as a metric isn’t a good way to tell whether the code is actually correct. It just feels like a great way to introduce sublte edge case bugs later downstream. You do your application a disservice by not at least taking a minimal amount of time to review the LLM output.
The featured placement being a weekly subscription isn't quite so consistent, though.
Sorry, I'm a bit late responding. You're right! I should have used 8086 and 80286 as the example. 386 added virtual memory and some other stuff.

Thanks
Yeah but at the same time if I ask you any question and ask an LLM the same one, in any subject, the LLM is going to beat you 99% of the time.
Also, 64-bit code and especially data are just larger, because every address is 8 bytes, and data has to be aligned on at least 4-byte boundary.

You can still have very tiny Linux with a relatively modern kernel on tiny m0 cores, and there's ELKS for 16-bit cores.
Practical Force Field Technology
I "invented" a practical Force Field Technology last night during a fever dream.

All of this could be implemented with existing tech to create an effective system to protect spacecraft from radiation and physical debris. My hope is such a system could be built on top of future spacecraft to effectively protect human space explorers.

Quick Summary of System:

Optical Micro-Particle Shield Array (OMPSA) uses holographic optical trapping to form a dynamic, self-sustaining shell of tiny, laser-controlled particles around a spacecraft, providing an adaptable, lighter-weight alternative to traditional shielding that defends against both high-speed debris and intense electromagnetic radiation.

I would like to also clarify that "invented" is too strong a word. I did what humans are most proficient at: I recombined existing knowledge and applied it to a different application creating a somewhat unique system to be used as the basis for further analysis to ultimately result in real-world production and implementation.

In other words, I did nothing, other than probe the collective mind along a path in an effort to learn more and determine if such a path might be viable.
Privacy issues aside, it's kinda cool reading about how Indians use their phones, and also how they use English. I'd never heard "beyond the pale" before, and I'm still not sure what the idea of "multiple Indias" means when some of them are Mexico and some are Africa...?

I've also never heard of the majority of the apps being analyzed or tracked. Must be such a different world out there.
It would be nice if i could limit by my preferred operating system.
Any citations?

I suspect it is hard to control for confounding correlations - specifically I would guess it is more likely that poorer areas are flouridated. HV electric power lines and nuclear stations have the issue that poorer people are more likely to live next to those, and poorer people have have worse health outcomes so it falsely appears that both of those cause the health problems.
Now that I think about it. My job as a cleaner quite often exceeds in complexity beyond any software I wrote. I should really write an article about it, it is quite hilarious. Think callback hell with the callbacks changing the whole time, fuzzy inaccurate data and nothing working the way it should turning the state upside down. Numbers to call that may or may not help/answer or give wrong information. Truly shit apps to "help" and much more. lol
Only a very small subsection of the crowd will care about how the DJing is getting done. What actually matters is music selection, mixing style, energy building etc. 99% of people don't give a shit about vinyl mastery.
It's on the front page right now.
Don't wait until it's obvious
One of the items on this list "FridayGPT" doesn't actually do anything unless you plug in an API key from a subscription service. While I understand that technically the app itself is buy-once, it doesn't feel in the spirit of the website, or maybe should be called out on the page, as it could be quite misleading.
> levels in the USA to be perfectly safe

because everybody drinks the same amount of water right?

ridiculous position to argue from.
I have lived in both countries, and 300K in the US goes much further than 100k in Finland (we're talking FIRE money vs. paycheck-to-paycheck living). The people saying this are likely Nokia transfers who only have experience living in Silicon Valley.

300K as a family in even midwestern US cities (far cheaper than the coasts) is not crazy for a college educated couple. My US friends and entire extended family earns roughly 100-150Kish per year living in the US midwest (so roughly 300k household income per couple, yet at much lower tax rates).

On this salary they afford childcare, houses 2-3X the size of the average Finnish house in Metro-Helsinki (not kidding), expensive vacations, two new cars, fantastic health insurance via employer, and maxing out retirement accounts -- which has MASSIVE benefits over the Finnish pension system where the government takes control of your money and invests it in crap 0% yielding bonds. I personally know many US couples who are liquid millionaires already by their mid 40s just from working normal jobs w/ 401ks, and much of this is tax free wealth that importantly, they have full control over.

In Espoo/Helsinki/Vantaa, 100k household income gets your family a tiny 3-bed row house, one used Passat, a trip to the canary islands, and yes government childcare/healthcare. The main difference though, the Finnish family making 100k never accrues any actual wealth or sizable investment assets like stocks (And even if they did, government eats 20% more than in the US with higher cap gains tax). They will never reach financial independence. They will be begging the future austerity government for permission to retire at 70 (age keeps going up, so not unlikely). Hopefully the economy doesn't keep stagnating and the population doesn't keep declining, because it's not even really their money, it can easily be squandered by the collective.
