I find it helps if you treat the code generated as a third-party package with a well defined API. Then your role becomes gluing things together. It’s an approach similar to how I’ve dealt with junior devs in the past. You specify an interfa

Unfortunately, this rule excludes most of the fake reviews that plague Amazon. There are a lot of outfits in Pakistan that recruit reviewers in the US by offering a full refund for Chinese products in exchange for a five star review. This r

It’s insane to me that in 2024 it still takes this much back and forth to set up a server. I even recently tried automating this but quickly realized I was falling into an XKCD trap because the process is so damn painful.

Android is fine. There are many, many complaint syncing applications in the wild that use the sanctioned APIs. The truth is Syncthing doesn’t have the resources to keep up with Android platform changes and Google’s review process.

You could just have multiple clients attempt to update a row that defines the lock. Postgres transactions have no limit and will unwind on client failure. Since connections are persistent, there’s no need to play a game to determine the sta

First, there are cheap alternatives (antibiotics) which limit the total market size. Second, it’s almost tautological. If there was enough profit to justify the development time and cost, drug companies would pursue a vaccine. Since they’re

The myth that shareholders largely care about short-term returns has been disproved empirically over the last 30 years. Every mammoth stock exploded due to assumptions about revenues far, far into the future (dotcom stocks, FATMANG stocks

Not that I support the PEP but they could easily add an interpreter flag or environment variable to disable the behavior.

China routinely punishes the private sector. Yes, Jack Ma had a gun to his head, but Alibaba hasn't been the only target. https://www.barrons.com/articles/chinas-anti-monopoly-crackd...

1. Krugman admits at many points in the article you sent that protecting infant industries at times works. We're also not talking about infant industries. 2. VCs routinely use the strategy of subsidizing their startups to "disrupt

Punitive measures. Narrow tariffs, competitive subsidies, sanctions, divestment, export restrictions are all viable deterrents. Aside from this behavior, China has been subsidizing industries and dumping products into economic rivals for ye

How does solving a logic puzzle imply a theory of mind? I don’t mean to say that LLMs don’t have a theory of mind, just that deductive reasoning does not amount to empathetic evaluations of how someone else thinks and feels… …unless you’re

By your logic, Coca-Cola has no reason to keep their recipe a trade secret.

Recipes are not copyrightable. If the food you produce with them can no longer be protected, what value are the tools used to create them?

If you know you signed up for it, use STOP. If you don’t, block and report the number. Otherwise you indicate to the spammer that you’re a bonafide human, and they’ll even sell that information to others. This applies to picking up calls fr

Because more often than economists realize consumers can and will reject a higher price. There’s A LOT of substitutes for most things outside of commodities. Try selling products on Amazon, and you’ll experience this. There’s a clearing pri

This is a really out of touch answer akin to how globalists and economists argued for off-shoring because “competitve advantage.” The reality is far more nuanced. For example, one could argue wage growth stagnated in the US and instead we h

Try Lawfare as a better LLM hurdle. The depth and expertise and at times physical experience required for their discussions seems far out of reach. I suspect LLMs are not sophisticated enough as a paradigm to get there.

But that is the general case. Most web apps are written in interpreted languages like JavaScript which benefit from a reverse proxy. If I remember correctly, NGINX became popular because of Rails. Maybe in Java-land it’s overused, but every

Most web applications are not written in Java. NGINX also allows static assets to be served directly while side-stepping the application server. This is a boon for interpreted languages.

DSLs are not dead. I have had the opposite experience. For complex tasks, LLMs fail in subtle ways which requires inspection of its output: essentially “declarative” to “imperative” is bug ridden. My trick has been to create DSLs (I call th

If you ask a student to solve a problem while admitting when they don't an answer, they will stop at generating gook for an answer. LLMs on the other hand regularly spew bogus with high confidence.

Very clever use case. I'm presuming the set up here is as follows: - LLM-driven back and forth with the paper as context - Text-to-speech Pricing for high quality text to speech with Google's studio voices run at USD 160.00/1
