WTF is this?! Sattire? AI generated propaganda? I honestly don't get it. Can OP elaborate why it's a good content worthy of people’s time? Thanks in advance.

Is this available as open source anywhere to try?

A pragmatic definition that helps distinguish between resultant, weak, and strong emergent properties in interactive systems, LLMs, and incidents.

I like how the landing page (and even this HN page until this point) completely miss any reference to Meta and Facebook. The landing page promises privacy but anyone who knows how FB used VPN software to spy on people, knows that as long as the current leadership is in place, we shouldn't assume they've all of a sudden became fans of our privacy.

That's ~120 second of life spent reading minutiae (plus 15 sec writing this). And wasting random reader's time at scale. This is uniquely British.

Could you be more specific about which book and chapter talked about this problem and how the solution was different or similar?

IP is IP. LLM vendors are in legal battles with all sorts of IP owners. Putting it explicitly there (as awkward as it is) creates a legal obligation where the company or individual that fed it to "AI" cannot deny: "oh! I didn't know, therefore it's not stealing"

I don’t know. With the advent of AI-productivity tools (regardless of where we stand in how much the actual boost is), EMS should be able to offload part of their admin work and devs should be able to deliver more and faster. Long way to say that I'm skeptic if those numbers still apply in modern or near future environment.

The article describes insight on how to gain leverage. Regardless of promotion plans, it's good to have leverage in the current economy so your career doesn’t end prematurely when the company goes to cost-saving mode.

Ask HN: How did high level programming languages take over?

hanifbbz — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:43:49 +0000

There's been a lot of opinions about how AI will impact software development. So far, we've seen impressive demos but the majority of devs don't use AI as a main part of their development flow. Regardless, I think we can draw some lessons from the part where a more productive development flow fundamentally changed the profession.

So this is a question to those of you who worked with low level languages and how did you experience the advent of high level ones? Let's not get into the nitty gritty definitions and focus on the pace of disruption and impact of the change on the industry.
