> At this point I believe too that they are likely to win the race.

I'm not so sure.

In the mid 2010s they looked like they were ahead of everyone else in the AI race, too. Remember the (well-deserved!) spectacle around AlphaGo? Then they lost steam for a while.

So I wouldn't bet that any momentary lead will last.
I'm sure it could be figurded out but not easily?
>Managers and marketing

Ah, well, the most irrelevant place from a company compared to the actual product development.

Thus, no wonder everyone sees Macs as fancy toys just to show off instead of doing actual work. The times from OSX under G4 being a really good system for A/V and press/journalism production are long gone.

It can be, but any Windows or even some Linux machine with Krita and some medium A/V tools with some -rt kernel with Pipewire can destroy OSX on performance.
Ardour is no joke and people has tools like DavinCi.
There's no need to spend $4-6k on a Mac Pro any more.
Pick any high end Nvidia card with hardware encoding/decoding and A/V producing can be trivial.

If OSX it's just a tool do bullshit presentations, OSX it's doomed in the desktop.

The iPad it's everything else. It's really good at handwriting, and it's really good for students at uni doing tons of writtings and notes, and OFC for painting and photo manipulation.
It's really annoying that in their Android app, Gemini doesn't automatically scroll to the bottom of a long chat when you re-open it.

Otherwise, I like their 2.5 model, too.

I am based in Germany and have helped a couple of dozen individuals and small groups to successfully apply for grants and incorporate. It’s really not that difficult once you overcome the typical psychological barriers which if you look closely are a combination of prejudices and negative self talk.

On all levels, once you really breathe that there is a human person you are directing your inquiry to, and that you can help them do their job, they will be happy to direct money towards you. That principle applies from local startup funds to federal grants to EU level project officers. The “bureaucracy“ can be annoying in the sense of feeling like a waste of time (which, since you should factor in the cost of application into your later grant, is simply not true. It is actually really well paid boring labor.), but it’s really not complex or hard. If you believe they are hard for you (“hell“), you are engaged in negative self talk.

If you approach these things as highly annoying, and direct your annoying energy to the people who are handling your application, you will annoy them, which will make you feel like they are there to annoy you. The alternative is to approach them with the understanding that they’re not trying to make your life hard but are simply doing their job. They know much better than you that some things should be changed but it’s not up to them to change them, and they are not the right target to lobby for change.
my 2 cents : please kill the light-show and music while moving letters effects. I think you want your users to be able to concentrate. Unless this effect is there to make this game harder for some reason ?

I still have bad memories of driving down a quiet, country lane in rural France, the type with banks on either side, with my wife and children. It was very dark and warm. Absolutely out of nowhere my windscreen was an explosion of water and I could see nothing. Luckily I stopped OK, and found it was an industrial scale watering hose rotating occasionally across the road. Scared me half to death.
> intelligent beings can communicate in the context of a lot of prior knowledge

This is key. It works because of previous work. People have shared context because they develop it over time, when we are raised - shared context is passed on the the new generation and it grows.

LLMs consume the context recorded in the training data, but they don't give it back. They diminish it because people don't need to learn the shared context when using this tools. It appears to work in some use cases, but it will degrade our collective shared context over time as people engage with and use these tools that consume past shared context and at the same time atrophy our ability to maintain and increase the shared context. Because the shared context is reproduced and grows when it is learned by people. If a tool just takes it and precludes people learning it, there is a delayed effect where over time there will be less shared context and when the performance of the tool degrades the ability to maintain and extend the shared context will also have degraded. We might get to an irrecoverable state and spiral.
> There is no such thing as "get as good as a human artist" unless it becomes an actual human that lived the human experience. Even bad art starts with something to express and a want to express it.

There is always an actual human who has actual human experience in the loop, the AI doesn't need to have it. AI doesn't intend to draw anything on its own, and can't enjoy the process, there has to be a human to make it work on either intent (input) or value (output) side.

Also, most of the situations you are describing are not insider trading. If Warren Buffett calls his secretary and tells them he needs to go to the hospital because he’s having a heart attack, and they short BH on the way, that _could_ be considered insider trading. If I’m a nurse at that hospital and I’m on break outside and watch Buffett being wheeled in on a gurney and I trade on that, that would generally not be.
How does the rust compiler assure that when compiling to machine code? Machine code is less safe than C after all.

mkosi runs pacman for you and then packs up the result as a disk image. It also builds a unified kernel image and does a bunch of signing. The new /usr partition and UKI are then installed with systemd-sysupdate.

> It'll get a lot worse before it gets better.

Importantly, there's no guarantee it's actually going to get better. We like to pretend that human existence has some trajectory towards "justice" or "prosperity". I don't think that impulse does us justice.

Stalin/Lenin could have won. Hitler could have won, Napoleon could have conquered and held. It could just get worse.
The answer is in the article. What if your peer has it activated? All your communication, screenshots etc will still be monitored.

>To be fair...the other side was just as ferocious when someone postulated that the election was rigged,

No they weren't

Not in the amount of court cases, elected politicans stating the view, and January 6th

When a few Democrats starting objecting to the 2016 results. Joe Biden, in congress during the certification, slammed the gavel down and said "it's over"

https://www.npr.org/2017/01/06/508562183/biden-to-democrats-...

To even compare the two situations it's insane.
I may also just misunderstand the term itself. From what I've seen, "vibe coding" is used as a term for someone who does not want to go into the details, who does not want to check or adapt the code, who just wants to explain their idea to an LLM and expect a fully built feature, without doing any of the development themselves.

I myself use AI all the time, for smaller things, for more math-heavy things, for decisions I already thought about but want to check with best-practices (after all, LLMs are trained with the "hive mind" thoughts of programming). I use it as a companion, a tool akin to JetBrains refactor tools, something I can drop on a specific function to enhance my own work.
>Also staking 2.5M is "small change" for true insiders.

Well, if it was insider trading, Trump and his billionaire friends wouldn't invest just 2.5 million. That's a meager sum for the very wealthy.

Maybe they've even done insider trading but in ways that weren't so obvious.
> actually an "annual plan, billed monthly" and thus that if they cancel after one month (for example) they'll be billed for the remaining 11 immediately

I don't know if this is a recent policy change, but it is not the complete amount but only 50% of the remaining annual amount as per their website[1].

If it were something involving physical goods or services I can understand, but 50% penalty is still a crazy amount for a hosted software service.

My big problem with it is that it’s stateful. A menu or toolbar admits muscle memory - since you get used to where a certain button or option is and you can find it easily. With ribbons you need to know if you’re in the right submenu first.

Though personally, I’m increasingly delighted by the quicksilver - style palette / action tools that vscode and IntelliJ use for infrequently used options. Just hit the hotkey and type, and the option you want appears under the enter key.
The point is that the secret sauce in Google's search was better retrieval, and the assertion above is that the advantage there is gone. While crawling the web isn't a piece of cake, it's a much smaller moat than retrieval quality was.
Out of interest: Using Gemini on your phone, integrated and all, obviously reduces friction, but would you say convenience is the only reason for you not going back or do you feel Gemini is a real improvement as well?
As an artist, mine major complain about Adobe is their spyware software design. Constant calls for adobe servers, unable to work offline in field with their product and no support for linux.

Also, I'm curious, when they start censoring exports from their software. They already do that for money scans.

I'm not worry about image generators. They'll never generate art by definition. AI tools are same as camera back then - a new tool that still require human skills and purpose to create specific tasks.
Google is also terribly paranoid of the LLM saying anything controversial. If you want a summary of some hot topic article you might not have the time to read, Gemini will straight up refuse to answer. ChatGPT and Grok don't mind at all.
What about Grok and Chinese counterparts?

X data is private now which would give advantage it real-time scenarios. And Chinese have made it state-level priority.
Same. I went back from Gemini to Claude yesterday, because Gemini was writing decidedly worse code, at times not even able to stick to Python syntax. Using Aider.
>Countries generally grant far fewer rights to non-citizens. Have you considered how allowing non-citizens to spread discontent within a country could be abused?

The most powerful person in the country lied and still is lying about elected fraud, undermining the basis for our Democratic system and was rewarded with a 2nd term.
And indeed the Trump trades were after the USMCA was agreed upon.
I don't think "a lot of the world" makes a clock like this.

Also that "mystique and vibes" is essentially "a reputation of quality", which has to be earned, and I'd say they did that. Whether it still holds is another question.
I feel you're missing the point. Your angle is self perpetuating. People have a higher risk of cardiac arrest at the fear of the consequences of missing the IRS date. The argument being made is that there won't really be any major consequences - if millions of people miss it because of a TurboTax issue, an extension will be granted.

Why should the engineers be stressed and overworked because other people are scared of something that doesn't have to happen?

The world is less stressful and - I think - better without manufactured urgency like what you're defending.

Don't get me wrong, some things are life and death, like life support machines. Taxes are not.

Having deployed WebSockets into production, I came to regret that over the next years.

This process was exactly what could be observed in Portugal in the beginning of the 2010 decade.

I think you'll get the most out of this at the moment if you're interested in actively contributing to systemd. There's lots of work left to be done to make this usable which will just be annoying if you aren't interested in fixing some of this stuff yourself.

Of course if you're interested in doing small prs and such to improve things then I think it could be very satisfying. You can always join the mkosi matrix channel to chat more about this stuff.
Sorry about your losses, especially Meka. Showing up for therapy is courageous. That's not small.

To me, it's always wild to see people trying to prove this is "the future" and "no one will ever code again". And then they try to prove it by building a react todo app, something that has been done millions of times and is really just an advanced hello world project...

I've had great success using AI for some tough things, but not on an entire foreign codebase that requires domain knowledge, no matter how constrained my prompts are. As soon as your use-case goes above the average "building a small tool and make it a $4.99 saas startup", AI really only helps you with the exact code to transfer your already pre-planned pseudo-code/behavior.

And even then, you need the knowledge to understand that what the AI merged out of the millions of StackOverflow answers is actually outdated or a hallucinated API function that never existed.
Wow that was long and surprisingly nuanced. One thing I’ve thought about recently looking at my own daughters is that they are bombarded with a lot of fake “this is the good life” that rarely includes children.

As a consequence perhaps the right time to have them will never eventuate. A lot of our Gen X contemporaries who put off child rearing for this reason ended up with heartbreaking fertility issues.

However I don’t think a smaller population is necessarily a bad thing.
This inconsistency, where something works for one and not for another, is yet another problem.

The fact it works for you while not working for someone else is actually worse than if it didn't work for anyone.
> Salaries are also not competitive in a lot of places.

This implies there are other companies in the same city/region that pay better. I doubt it. From what I have seen, most German software devs are paid horribly, come to HN complain about it, then proceed to do nothing. The solution is to move to a place that pays higher salaries, like Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, or another country. Or get a 100% remote job.

I want fallout games to have a survival mode and I want rougelites to have a tourist mode

It's funny that you mention that. NetHack, one of the longest-running traditional Roguelikes (in active development since 1987) actually has a Tourist class. However it's not what you think. The class is based on the tourist character Twoflower from the Discworld series of books. This class is the hardest one in the game because it starts with the least amount of fighting ability, no weapons (apart from some darts), and no armour (just a Hawaiian shirt).

You do, however, also start with a credit card (useful for jimmying locks), some healing potions, a lot of food, a lot of money, some scrolls of magic mapping (maps), and an expensive camera (the monsters in the dungeon hate flash photography)! But until you become a lot more experienced shopkeepers will recognize you as a tourist and try to rip you off, so you better spend your money wisely!
Some competition is OK. For example, similar programming languages (e.g. Rust and Zig) - they inspire each other, fit slightly different niches, and there's plenty of space for both.

Experimentation is OK. DNF started as a yum fork, with a different solver algorithm. IMHO yum should've just adopted the algorithm, but Fedora/CentOS ended up switching. That's mostly fine (people had to update docs, retrain their muscle memory).

The level of "competition" we see in package managers, desktop environments, initrd builders (!), resolv.conf managers (!!!), is just wasted effort. There's no "pick the winner", it's "everyone is a loser".

>This is a conspiracy theory

Doesn't meet the criteria of what people typically call a conspiracy theory. It's easily verified or debunked by amateurs with publicly available information, it doesn't seem absurd on its face, and it makes no claims other than those of association (certainly none of blatant felony, coup, or world domination).
Eh, you might as well just show full price, then people will go "I know I didn't spend that much, but shit, that's a lot of money".
Maybe all the insider trading going on is part of why the chances for regular investors to beat the market are so slim.
It is very quick to abort conversations and if the safety stuff kicks in, it loses all context. But I will keep giving it a crack since everyone seems to think it’s great. Maybe I just need to learn the tricks.

They know and we know that even if their right wing fever dreams about Pelosi were true (which they aren't), it's obvious that the scale and criminality of what Trump did this week doesn't even begin to compare.

It doesn't matter to them. They only want to obfuscate, deflect and ideally enrage. That's what they do.

I happen to work in this industry, and just a word for those that compare this with an Apple Watch or a Casio, this Vacheron-Constantin will likely be around 200 years from now, it will still be a testimony of the refinement and engineering of a fine craft that few can achieve, a highly valued item with specialist technicians marvelling on the talent of its builders, just as is the case today with 200 year old timepieces.

you'll be very lucky if your Casio can last as long. Your mass commoditised Apple watch will likely be worthless.

Personaly, I like the IWC on my wrist as much as I like my Casio G-Shock, both are wonderful in their own way.

The Apple watch on my wife's wrist is a fine computer i guess, but at some point, it will have the same "quaint charm" as the IBM Thinkpad she owned 23 years ago.
I agree with you that it's possibly unanswerable, which is more or less the point. The broader idea is that there are lots of obscure interactions like that one I made up.

You can switch up the doctor and CEO patient for anything else. Bankers, lenders, family friends, former professors ... An unbounded number of humans that can come into contact with useful info to trade on. What do we think are the magical constraints that prevent them from doing so? Corporate etiquette?

The ROI will obviously be a function of what information is passed. But I think that I'm more interested in understanding how often it happens rather than that any one case is "low ROI". It is interesting to consider whether it's the ROI threshold that should philosophically make/not make something insider trading.

The college deportations are the government, but I would guess that the Meta compliance has more to do with the fact that Cheryl Sandberg is a politically-connected turbo-Zionist.

I wish we were neutral on this issue. As an American, it is not my business. I am in no position to justly arbitrate between them. But our politicians are whores, our Zionists have deep pockets, and they're not afraid to empty them out for the cause, so it looks like America's taxpayers are all on Team Zionist, whether we like it or not.
Oppression and corruption is expensive. Systems based on them are not going to be competitive in the long run.
