Color here is a metaphor for a point.

I'm not aware that we are there, but would be very interested if you have information to the contrary. Even if we were there, the product/service that does it would have to be at a reasonable cost in order to be useful for most people.

As I said, a lot of the gap may be tooling, not the models themselves. But I'm skeptical that even the models themselves are capable of that given sufficient tooling. I'm not saying we're not close (certainly much closer than we were at the start of the decade), but if we were actually there, you would have zero reservations about removing the human from the loop.

After 25 or so years doing this, I think there are two kinds of developers: craftsmen and practical “does it get the job done” types. I’m the former. The latter seem to be what makes the world go round.

You seem to be ignoring the vast majority of human history before we developed farming. Agriculture societies are a relatively brief period of our collective history.

I hope he was disbarred.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend a local Hawaiian resident’s wedding in Waimea, Kauai this past summer. As we stayed on the south-side, we mostly enjoyed our simpler accommodations while only seeing the Sheraton et. al. from the beach. We made one day trip north of Lihue and were turned off when we saw tourists at a plaza watching the dads get called up to hula and put flowers in their hair as a gag. So I understand the big resorts may be becoming unachievable, but perhaps there is hope it will open some people’s eyes to more authentic experiences.

Does it make use of LM studio for all of those features? I feel the features can simply be ignored by anyone who doesn't want to use them.

.. to liver disease in zebrafish.

From the study:

> depletion of the gut microbiome in adult zebrafish led to the development of steatotic liver disease in animals on standard diets

They have powerful untaxed monopolies in excess of the economic value tech companies themselves generate.

At some point, the value of their services come from the people who use their sites.

I don’t understand why anyone would think LLMs have a good moat. There’s no evidence to suggest that’s the case, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. Maybe hubris?

As postal mentioned below, Haleakalā is fantastic for that.

Also, I recently visited Mt. Aso in southern Kyushu of Japan and it really felt like I was on Mars.

> connecting to a remote server and exchanging the file contents over a base64 stream (?)

I think that's not the right code because it's in "PerformCopyFileFromRemoteSession" and that sounds like it's for Copy-Item -ToSession ... -FromSession ... which are for New-PSSessions (PowerShell remoting/WinRM). Those are already Powershell-serialized-in-XML-in-WinRM-XML (I think) and copying file data plausibly goes into Base64 to go inside that.

That can't be what happens if you do Copy-Item -Destination \\server\share\

Please stop. Article summaries have always been off topic on HN.

Is there a source from somewhere that didn't kill Aaron Swartz? I'd rather not reward them with a click.

It's interesting. I've been tinkering with an article summarizing/highlighting browser extension, and realized that I don't want the end-user to have read AI-generated content because it's not as high-quality as I'd hoped. But on the flip side, I'm loving having the AI write most of the code for me.

My grandfather rode to school on a horse, saw the last of the nomadic native peoples traveling Iowa, watched polio ruin lives and bring fear, then watched science conquer polio. Watched humans conquer the sky and land on the moon, fought mechanised island warfare as a sent in Marine in the pacific on the side of half the world fighting against the other half of the world. Personally saw the damage of nuclear war in occupied Japan, then watched the world build a 15 minute system for mutually assured nuclear destruction (MAD). Went from mail to shared rural 'party' phone lines, and ended his life with a world connected with a global knowledge network to every home and free video calls to anywhere in the world. He went from canned zucchini/beats in the winter to access to whatever fresh produce (and more importantly ice cream) he wanted all year long.

Unless we make some major breakthroughs, I don't think there will ever be another generation of change like that one.

Oh I see, all our bogeymen are created by a shadowy conspiracy of very rich bogeymen.

The latter 2 usages are pretty much the same. They just have different virtual instruction sets.

I'm writing this on a grapheneos pixel 5. I have the app for very-large-USbank and a few others. With 'exploit protection compatibility toggle' enabled they works fine. In what regard this applies to device attestation I couldn't say.

That’s still the case today though.

If I get red cherries in winter from Chile, they are not as good as the ones from eastern Washington in the summer. Local seasonal fruit in WA is amazing (cherries, peaches, apples, now is pear season)

I suspect this works better outside of common law legislation.

A well paid human expert can find lots of uses of LLMs. I'm still not convinced that humans will ever be totally replaced, and what work will look like is human experts using LLMs as another tool in the toolbox, just like how an engineer would have used a slide rule or mechanical calculator back in the day. The kind of work they're good at doesn't cover the full range of necessary engineering tasks, but they do open up new avenues. For instance, yesterday I was able to get the basic gist of three solutions for a pretty complex task in about an hour. The result of that was me seeing that two of them were unlikely to work for what I'm doing, so that now I can invest actual effort in the third solution.

I admit the scenario is contrived, but that’s to make a point. Feel free to construct your own scenario that’s not a non sequitur.

But the E scenario is also fallacious, doesn’t matter if E is schizophrenic if the conspiracy is real. Maybe E’s detractors would like others to think E is schizophrenic, or the symptoms they want to cast as schizophrenic are a stress response to the targeted harassment.

I believe some units also refused to do so.

Yes, NAT traversal is used widely. It is only needed at the start of the connection to get both firewalls to open ports. The encrypted wireguard tunnel is point to point

Could be they aren’t trying to come down on a nice easy high-contrast color and are figuring anywhere society lands will still be some shade of gray with a bit of flair here and there and a dash of spilled paint in other places.

The issue is that it might look good but an LLM often inserts weird mistakes. Or ellipses. Or overindex on the training data. If someone is not careful it is easy to completely wreck the codebase by piling on seemingly innocuous commits. So far I have developed a good sense for when I need to push the llm to avoid sloppy code. It is all in the details.

But a junior engineer would never find/anticipate those issues.

I am a bit concerned. Because the kind of software I am making, a llm would never prompt on its own. A junior cannot make it, it requires research and programming experience that they do not have. But I know that if I were a junior today, I would probably try to use llms as much as possible and would probably know less programming over time.

So it seems to me that we are likely to have worse software over time. Perhaps a boon for senior engineers but how do we train junior devs in that environment? Force them to build slowly, without llms? Is it aligned with business incentives?

Do we create APIs expecting the code to be generated by LLMs or written by hand? Because the impact of verbosity is not necessarily the same. LLMs don't get tired as fast as humans.

I disagree, we are living in one of the most turmoiled eras worldwide since the 1940s, so something must be happening
