> AI cannot think for itself, nor can it take independent actions.

Huh is it still 2023? This article is just quibbling over what "rogue" means exactly. Only HN pedants would have any issue with describing them as rogue AI agents.

Nobody is saying that absolves OpenAI of responsibility.

Yeah I think the Jev hype is weird... But this blog post is complete nonsense.

Of course you aren't going to use Jev where you can easily make a decision deterministically with old-school programming. It's going to be used for stuff that might have previously been done by a person, e.g. reviewing app updates in app stores, reviewing CVs, labelling bugs, etc. Obviously that can already have inexplicable failures.

I'm not saying that methodology is cringe (although making up people totally is). I mean how they write out the sentences like "As a user, I want to ..." instead of just having a table of features with a column for the target user type.

Yes. It's exactly as immune to hallucination - it can only produce answers from a small fixed set.

Then why bother with such long segments? Why not do what LTT does?

Always makes me think of that Bill Bailey "as a mother" joke. Similar cringe to those UX "As a user, I want to blah blah" things too. Just say "Users want to be able to blah blah", or better yet make a freaking table.

And does it even work? I feel like the only person on YouTube who has a clue about sponsorship is LTT. Their spots are like 10 seconds which is short enough that sometimes I'll be too lazy to skip it. In contrast to those 2 minute segments where I 100% skip every time.

Unless the goal of the spot is literally just "Our name exists!!" which tbf it probably is for all those VPN ads, it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Surely nobody watches the full ad segments?

> Software, I agree. The hardware may very well already be achievable

Yeah of course software. That's the hard part. Look at driverless cars - we've had the hardware for it since the 70s.

That's way less nuts. They've proven Starship can get to orbit so it's already viable for payloads. And it has a much larger payload capacity than Falcon 9. They've also recovered a booster. So realistically they can use it in disposable mode now, reusable booster in ~1 year (at which point it is better than Falcon 9) and maybe fully reusable in 5 years.

Compared to humanoid robots where we might be 10-30 years away from having something that works well.

> Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.

He is very clearly talking about race.

There's no issue with acknowledging that cultural integration between different races can cause issues, nor is it unreasonable to limit immigration on that basis. It's completely insane to deport people who are now legal residents based on their race.

Obviously he's not going to say "blacks go home". He's too smart for that, come on.

Wait they actually stopped producing cars for this? I guess nobody was buying them, otherwise that's insane.

Literally the first result for "DHH remigration"

> Because the sacred cow here is not just that mass migration must stop going forward. It's also that millions who are already in Europe must go. Remigration has gone from a fringe concept to the mainstream discourse in record time on account of that realization.

In the past I've wanted to edit a couple of Ruby programs (Asciidoctor and Gitlab) and the fact that they were written in Ruby basically made it impossible.

I guess I could do it with AI now but still...

I don't understand what you think is so objectionable about that quote. It's one of the least mental things he's said.

You've never made a minor mistake during a presentation? (I await your confident "no".)

I'd say he crossed the line when he openly supported ethnic cleansing via remigration. I.e. deporting legal citizens that aren't the right race. If you don't think that's racist I don't know what it would take...

Before that I'd have said he was on the edge, but now it's pretty clear cut.

Yeah exactly. I don't know what the green ring is so.. no!

50% is a pretty damn good response rate! I wouldn't complain about that.

It's not surprising about LinkedIn. They've made applying for jobs too easy so there's too much noise. I wouldn't bother applying for jobs there. LinkedIn is great for recruiters though - just put some effort into your profile, set it to "looking for work", and then reply to interesting recruiter spam. That's how I got my last 3 jobs.

I dunno if setting the time counts as fixing...

You obviously can't get proof. But there are enough stylistic tells to confidently say that AI was substantially involved in writing this. It's annoying to read. That's enough to dislike AI writing IMO.

I did read it. I was talking about the title.

Please. The headline is clickbait, trying to imply that OpenAI somehow screwed up.

I wonder if they'll add a `locate_template_safe()` function to "fix" it. :D

> Adding (or removing) a lane does not even remotely have a direct correlation to maximum traffic flow.

Of course it does. What an obviously stupid thing to say. You think a 4 lane motorway doesn't allow more traffic flow than a single lane country road?

Here are a few:

1. Git push should default to --force-with-lease --force-if-includes.

2. push.autoSetupRemote should be enabled by default.

3. The default conflict style should be zdiff3.

4. diff.submodule should be 'log' by default (gives much nicer submodule diffs).

5. Submodule updates / clones should be recursive by default. (There is a setting for this but I can't remember it.)

Are they going to fix all the bad defaults in Git 3.0?

Yeah Astra has decompiled binaries for me without even asking. I just asked like "is there a way to do this?" and it went ahead and disassembled it, found some undocumented APIs, figured out how they worked and gave me sample code to call them.

I think you probably just have to frame things right and get it in the mood (i.e. don't ask straight up at the start of the context).

On the contrary I would love it if AI stagnates. I don't want to be out of a job.

But I also don't believe things just because I want them to be true.

I seriously doubt that is any more than a theoretical problem, and even if it isn't, so what? People start a warranty claim, send the boards to RPi, they run diagnostics, detect the changed RAM and deny the claim.

Some people do have complex financial situations. It's not as simple as that.

For example in the UK (and maybe US?) you get tax relief for money you put into your pensions, but there's a limit of £60k/year. Unless you earn a lot (which I do, yeay) when that limit is tapered. Except that you can also use up to 3 years of previously unused allowance. But you have to use this year's first.

Also interest is taxed, but you can put up to £20k/year into an ISA which isn't. And if you still want to avoid some tax you have kids ISA's and even pensions!

Then there are also startup investment schemes that save you some tax. Those seem to be not worth it, but you get the idea - it can be complicated. Especially if you are near one of the many tax/benefit thresholds.

The marginal tax rate in the UK bounces all over the place - it's even technically possible for it to be over 100%!

Yeay communism! They built such lovely tower blocks.
