Why are you assuming that a document likely to be picked up and a good document are equivalent? We might be in for tech docs becoming SEO (LLMO?) friendly slop.

A sum of people with this attitude is what a megacorp is and why they're hated.

About 300 survivors of different fate, according to this Spanish source (you can probably ai translate, there is a survivors section): https://www.armadainvencible.org/desastre-la-playa-streedagh...

The short of it is that only 5 can be said for certain to have returned, plus one person that stayed in Ireland under the service of Hugh O’Neill.

The idea seems to be Catholic Irish nobility "such as the O’Rourke or the Mc Clancy" may have helped them, while the English army searched for survivors and killed those who found.

incident response is one area where we are frequently confronted with synthesis problems: we have to understand how the pieces normally fit together in order to make sense of what is currently going wrong.

I'm not sure I can accept without further clarification equating that with synthesis. Normally in incident response, you start with a full system where in principle any root cause is possible and gradually reduce scope until finding the solution.

For me integration could be used for say taking three adhoc solutions and designing a general one that fits all, or merging two different services after a company merge. But anything debugging is very clearly analytic.

Isn't this mostly circular? Let pichai, nadella and friends hold the bag. We'll be fine.

If they can set a single machine as target every few years and make it work, that would be a lot better than having no alternative.

M1 support is pretty usable nowadays, and I would imagine at least a fraction of the work translates to future devices... It's not sunshine and rainbows, but it isn't a project doomed to fail either.

Their amazing laptop hardware pushes you into their ecosystem. Once you're on macOS, might as well get iphone rather than Android and benefit from the synergy, same for airpods or the apple watch.

The only reason I'd see support for Asahi making sense for Apple is a Firefox situation, keeping the project alive to prove to regulators that there are alternatives.

It is very possible to injure yourself with calisthenics. Shoulder impingement or tendinitis from pullups with too much intensity/bad form for example. Weight is weight.

Would the accused party have to prove compliance? Or would non compliance have to be proved by the accuser?

Honest question, I'm not American.

How many times have you seen an expert go "yeah these results are good consistently enough for a non expert to trust them without expert assistance"?

There is a huge difference between having a chance of a good result, which can be useful for experts able to filter out the bullshit, and consistent success. I would generate code as a helper, I would never allow a guy from marketing to merge unreviewed AI code.

To the tv through the deck, is what I understood (maybe not using the smart features of the tv?)

Economics is hardly a reproducible science, but an American company has basically instant access to 350 million consumers (and workers) with no language barrier and little inter-state red tape.

It's hard to imagine that this isn't a larger differentiator than the ability to fire hundreds at will.

I know HN is mostly against regulation, but I'm very glad my country restricts mass firings, and particular stricter rules apply for companies that turn a profit.

If you're generating benefits, there should be very few reasons you need to let go people massively.

It's a fascinating period to learn to navigate.

It is very rare for a startup leader (usually very hands-on and practical minded) to be able to delegate and think strategically well enough to survive the transition.

Sometimes they even lack breadth in their experience (because, well, their experience was the company's startup phase).

What to do, then? replace them with outsiders? That would not be fair, and it destroys company culture. Leave them be, knowing that they're not up to the task? That's even worse, the people under them will suffer.

It sucks that the most common answer is that eventually there's a crisis, heads roll, corporate suits take over. Thus starts the period where the graph goes up and the product goes down.

Man I wish they would just chase fads. They chase the most morally corrupt version of a fad every time, it's like their business is black mirror episodes as a service.

Angel investor with Fintech background? Are they going to push for cashapp/bizum like features?

I guess that depends on the kind of project, how common the intent is, how self contained, etc.

Absolutely!

This is a point that tends to kill introverted/insecure people I think. They assume that asking for permission is making things easier for people, but there's a limit where you're not allowing others to delegate responsibility onto you. Your job is for others to not have to think about the things you take care of.

the work of the editor does have value. it's just a different value.

I mostly agree with that, with some caveats (in short, there's an uncomfortably thin line to appropriating the curated work, consciously or not).

and how do you handle the reverse? use AI as the editor for a hemmingway book. is it still hemmingway?

I'd be comfortable saying at least that it's less misleading to declare that book as written by Hemingway. Doing so is more in line with the social expectations that come with having the author's signature on it.

I should have clarified or quoted, my bad. I was talking about the work references, mainly this paragraph:

was I tempted to use AI to speed things up? No. It would be like hooking a motor to a stationary bike and calling that exercise. It would be like taking a helicopter to the top of Everest and saying that I summited.

Yeah, the somelier argument.

It doesn't work for me sorry, because you wouldn't accept a book by John, a friend of Hemingway, as a Hemingway book no matter how much he assisted in editing. Nor a Picasso museum exhibition is by Marie because Marie chose which paintings to display.

Authorship and edition are different claims.

I think the argument is misguided, even if I agree with the principle: it is based in the effort one puts in and how it's similar to a sport.

I don't care whether my favorite author sweated for months facing a typewriter, of he effortlessly dictated the final form of the book in one sitting to a secretary while sipping mojitos.

I think my issue with AI has more to do with the signal it sends: reading takes effort, particularly literature, and I use the author's name as a proxy to judge whether to invest that effort myself. Nothing bad in selling dollar store crap, but it's bad to put 'Nike' on it.

Your individuality is what you sell as an author. I can get access to the LLM without you.

During his first term, his continuous threats to north Korea were enough to force congress to restrict presidential powers (the whole fire and fury stuff), and that's not counting Venezuela, Syria and others.

More than you can imagine. OKRs, brag documents, quarter reviews....

Kidding aside, I would be surprised if something larger than using it as a thesaurus/corrector is slipping by. Literature is genuinely hard.

I haven't seen any minimal sign that any of the fiction books I read lately was LLM helped. Writers seem like a particularly anti AI crowd too.

Has anyone? Now I'm curious if it's just my particular bubble.

Pretty much the whole developed world is suffering excessive housing prices.

Whoever has the money to develop housing is in a position to exploit the scarcity as well.

Scalability, measured (the honest section)

Ugh.

If you don't care about someone else's charts, why do you expect others to care about your comment?

It is good to remember that the discourse is not fully real.

There are fake accounts pushing AI everywhere, and people burned out by the marketing that react positioning too aggressively in the opposite direction (particularly when it's their boss who bought into the marketing and makes unreasonable demands).

Where pylint crashes, prylint reports the same crash message.

As always, three lines in you realize that the doc you're reading hasn't been written (maybe not even read) by a human.

So so tired of this breach of trust.
