41,800,900 | comment | doctorpangloss | 2024-10-10T17:03:39 | null | > The people who are actually trying to build quality content are being forced to sink or swim - optimize for engagement or else be forgotten... There are many people involved in deep learning who are trying very hard to sell you the idea that in this new world of big-data...<p>It's always easy to talk about "actually trying to build quality content" in the abstract. Your thing, blog post or whatever, doesn't pitch us a game. Where is your quality content?<p>That said, having opinions is <i>a</i> pitch. A16Z will maybe give you like, $10m for your "Human Generated Authentic badge" anti-AI company or whatever. Go for it dude, what are you waiting for? Sure it's a lot less than $220m for "Spatial Intelligence." But it's $10m! Just take it!<p>You can slap your badge onto Fortnite and try to become a household name by shipping someone else's IP. That makes sense to me. Whether you can get there without considering "engagement," I don't know. | null | null | 41,797,462 | 41,797,462 | null | null | null | null |
41,800,901 | comment | consteval | 2024-10-10T17:03:48 | null | I don't think competition would solve this, because most people would just take the ads offer and from a business perspective there's 0 reason to offer an ad-free option.<p>Of course, consumers cannot possibly estimate the cost of ads. They can't tell how much of the stuff they buy is because they're influenced, or how many years of life they throw away by watching ads in the long run. Ads could be costing them 1 dollar a year, or maybe 1,000. But they don't know, and they sure as hell won't be paying 5 bucks for a product if there's a "free" ad version. | null | null | 41,791,923 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

Corporations are just constructs that shield their owners from liabilities.<p>Generally speaking, these constructs are created to solve problems an individual may have trouble with.<p>The constructs have no agency. They must act through people and are directed by people, but are not people.<p>Perhaps we should treat corporations like people and jail them, like we do people.<p>What would that look like?<p>Freeze all assets for a period of time? Or, since they are essentially shields for those directing them, maybe remove the shield part for X period of time... | null | null | 41,755,579 | 41,750,630 | null | null | null | null |
41,800,906 | comment | mossTechnician | 2024-10-10T17:04:14 | null | I've seen the word used in different contexts, usually as a marketing buzzword, a shortcut to elicit a positive feeling. (This article does not take that route, which is why I found it interesting.)<p>If you look at the Google search recommendations after typing in the word "democratize," for example, you get people trying to understand what it means to "democratize finance" (initially, the solution was almost exclusively paired with words like "unbanked", "cryptocurrency," and a rush to bring these products to Africa - rarely a particular place for a particular reason, just Africa in general).<p>Other phrases like "democratize data" are used in a corporate sense. Apparently "democratize AI" is a huge one too, which is appropriate because Sam Altman of OpenAI fame is one of the people who wanted to "democratize finance" by expanding his Worldcoin project into Kenya. More recently, I've seen the phrase "democratize art" thrown around by people who support generative AI as a form of art. | null | null | 41,800,604 | 41,787,798 | null | [

If you want to gamble your real money by converting it to fake digital tokens, that's fine, but you shouldn't ask the government to use taxpayer money bail you out afterwards.

Again, you do not need to know these details for 99.99% of program code.<p>> C#, Java, JS share a bit of syntax, but certainly not semantics. ObjectiveC/C++ definitely belong. There is a trivial mapping from most C++ constructs to the corresponding C ones.<p>There's a mapping from any of these languages to any other one, in some cases also quite trivial, the amount of overlap is immense, but C and C++ have heavily deviated.<p>I am a C expert, I do not claim to be a C++ expert, every time I look at C++ I am increasingly surprised at just how it redefines something core about C. Something I just learned in this very thread is <a href="https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/start_lifetime_as" rel="nofollow">https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/start_lifetime_as</a> which doesn't exist in C because apparently C and C++ define object lifetimes completely differently.<p>It's dangerous to keep pushing this notion that C and C++ are very similar because it leads to constantly leads to expert C++ programmers confidently writing subtly broken C code and vice versa. | null | null | 41,800,260 | 41,757,701 | null | null | null | null |

41,800,942 | comment | consteval | 2024-10-10T17:08:39 | null | I disagree fundamentally. The fallacy here is that breaking up a company results in it making less money. Usually it's the opposite, because corporate inefficiency stops being as much of a problem.<p>In my opinion, breaking up Google would only serve to make it even more profitable. Once companies grow to behemoths, they stop doing stuff. They slow down innovation to a crawl, and they essentially exist on life support and inertia until they're overthrown by a much, much smaller company.<p>We see this pattern of life for a company again and again. We see it RCA, with GE, with GM. The only reason AT&T (Ma Bell) is still around and didn't decay like others before it is BECAUSE it was broken up. It was given new life as a set of new, smaller companies. | null | null | 41,785,018 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

The vast majority of the data and recommendations we have are for diabetics using regular single use measurements or a proper glucose tolerance test so shortly after the user eats a bowl of rice while wearing it, it sends them into a hypochondriac spiral when they see a peak of 200. Their doctor generally has to talk them down. There's just not that much data on what the average healthy person's response to blood sugar is, especially when it's continuously monitored. | null | null | 41,800,122 | 41,799,324 | null | [

41,800,953 | comment | ChadNauseam | 2024-10-10T17:10:11 | null | publicly traded companies are not "required" to make constant year over year gains for shareholders and investors, that is just what the owners usually decide to tell the company to do. The owners of a privately traded company could decide to, and the owners of a publicly traded company could decide not to. For example, zuckerberg controls 53% of the voting stock of facebook, so whatever zuck says goes and if other shareholders don't like it they can kick rocks. This is pretty much the same situation that people imagine is the case with privately traded companies, even though facebook is obviously publicly traded. | null | null | 41,800,529 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,800,959 | comment | milanm081 | 2024-10-10T17:10:37 | null | When I started my journey as a software engineer two decades ago, I couldn't have imagined the incredible evolution our field would have. The IT industry has continuously progressed in different directions, from the rise of agile methodologies to the boom of cloud computing, from monolithic applications to microservices architectures, and back.<p>Yet, with this constant change, I've discovered that certain fundamental principles remained. These lessons have stood the test of time and become even more relevant in our increasingly complex world of software engineering.<p>In this post, I'll share ten critical lessons I've learned over my 20-year career. These principles have helped me navigate many projects, lead teams, and continuously grow professionally.<p>The lessons are:<p>1. Don't do premature optimization<p>2. Think twice before writing code<p>3. Learn good practices<p>4. Make things simple and even simpler than that<p>5. Name things properly<p>6. Always test your code<p>7. Keep your time wisely. It is the most expensive thing you have.<p>8. Communicate, communicate, communicate<p>9. Don't just learn, do<p>10.

It lets us detail our data structure in zod, validate the completely untyped HTML data, and be confident that once we reach our actual code, the data is well typed.<p>Zod feels like a crutch for limitations in Javascript and Typescript.

Doubly so for RAG or agent control where the LLM is expected to operate knobs and levers with the borrowed authority of the user.<p>The LLM is just generating orders of magnitude more user state as a result of a prompt. The actions the LLM is permitted to take must still be gated on the authorizations allowed for that user. This means that data unavailable to the user <i>must not be in the training set</i> of the LLM acting as an interface layer.<p>The "we have to learn new lessons" only applies when you lump all data together and hope the LLM doesn't spit up someone else's data from a probabilistic elbow jog.

Possible for a long time, build a local-first app. Don't want to build a client-server system? Fine, build an isolated webapps. There's so many great tools for webdev that get people going fast, that are incomparably quick at throwing something together. It's just bias and ignorance of an old crusty complainy world. This is a diseased view, is reprehensible small minded & aggressively mean, and it's absurd given how much incredibly effort has been poured into making HTML and CSS incredibly capable competent featureful fast systems, for shame: <i>torturing a poor, overburdened document display engine into pretending it's a sane place for apps to run</i><p>The web has a somewhat earned reputation for being overwhelmed by ads, which slow things down, but today it feels like most native mobile apps are 60MB+ and also have burdensome slow ads too.<p>There aren't really any tries to go full in on the web. We have been kind of a second system half measure, for the most part, since Pre WebOS gave up on mobile (since FirefoxOS never really got a chance). Apps have had their day and I'm fine with there being offerings for those with a predeliction for prehistoric relics, but the web deserves a real full go, deserves a chance too, and the old salty grudges and mean spirits shouldn't obstruct the hopeful & the excited who have pioneered some really great tech that has both become the most popular connected ubiquitous tech on the planet, but which is also still largely a second system and not the whole of the thing.<p>The web people are always hopeful & excited & the native app people are always overbearingly negative nellies, old men yelling at the cloud. Yeah, there's some structural issues of power around the cloud today, but as Molly White's recent XOXO talk says, the web is still the most powerful system that all humanity shares that we can use to enrich ourselves however we might dream, and I for one feel great excitement and energy, that this is the <i>only</i> promise I see right now that shows open potential.
