Bank tellers are deterministic though. They have a set protocol for each cases and escalate unknown cases to a more deterministic point of contact.

It will be difficult to incorporate relative access or restrictions to features with respect to users current/known state or actions. Might as well write the entire web app at that point.


I think the bank teller's systems and processes are deterministic, but the teller itself is not. They could even rob the bank, if they wanted to. They could shoot the customers. They don't, generally, but they can.

I think, if we can efficiently capture a way to "make" LLMs conform to a set of processes, you can cut out the app and just let the LLM do it. I don't think this makes any sense for maybe the next decade, but perhaps at some point it will. And, in such time, software engineering will no longer exist.


The actual app is the set of processes.


All these comments look like advertisement. "uv is better than python!!", "8/10 programmers recommend uv", "I was a terrible programmer before but uv changed my life!!", "uv is fast!!!"

Have you tried uv?


Why would I? Does it offer something that standard python tools doesn't? Why uv over, lets say, conda?


FWIW I asked the same question last time a uv thread was posted (two weeks ago) - got some legit answers, none that swayed me personally but I can see why people use it. Also lots of inexplicable love for it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45574550


I agree that the speed improvements are inexplicable, as in I can't convince you in writing. "uv is fast!!!" doesn't do it justice. You kinda just have to experience it for yourself.

If you haven't spent 5 minutes trying it out, you don't know what you're missing.

If you're worried about getting addicted like everyone else, I could see that as a valid reason to never try it in the first place.


> Does it offer something that standard python tools doesn't?

Other than speed and consolidation, pip, pipx, hatch, virtualenv, and pyenv together roughly do the job (though pyenv itself isn’t a standard python tool.)

> Why uv over, lets say, conda?

Support for Python standard packaging specifications and consequently also easier integration with other tools that leverage them, whether standard or third party.


Maybe open hundreds of threads praising uv to find what was answered thousand of times?


Are you sure it wasn't your wireless earphones that pause/resumed youtube


A lot of views from general population rather than being buried.

Are you suggesting such incidents should not be reported on or captured?


The person got paid to grant exclusive rights to the videos to CNN, this wasn't just posting to social media to spread the word.


Source they got paid?


Ok and? CNN acquired the video and reported on it. They didn't hide or destroy it.


The NTSB provided the footage. Nothing further was required.

bro, no one is suggesting we should keep plane crashes secret, but yeah I do find it a little distasteful to turn on the TV and see the moment hundreds of people were killed.


Distasteful? I understand that sentiment for the family, but we should all be exposed to the horrors of these lapses. It’s exceedingly rare that you are ever subjected to the bodily carnage, and I’m reminded of when we ceased broadcasting footage of soldiers’ caskets coming home due to it dissuading popular opinion toward war.


90% of what is shown on a news channel is negative. Everything is driven by fear in that industry.

You can't turn on a news channel and expect to feel good.


> Leeching does not automatically mean its not fair use, just that it might be.

What do you mean by might be? It either yes or no.


Why is it that whenever someone shares anecdotal evidence of their friend or family member being affected by a vaccine, the first response is mocking them for being against the medicine?

Suppose a commonly used drug caused severe reaction among a fringe group of people, you don't mock those people and call them anti-vax/unlucky. The pharma responsible for drug should look into the case and come up with guidelines for usage.


I think it is because they are anti-medicine and anti-science

Good medicine, Good science are wonders of the modern world that have the possibility of doing incredible miracles for health and longevity.

It speaks to polarization and othering of people with different opinions.


> The pro-Israel lobby has spent roughly 10-15M per year... This is hardly enough to offset the billions of dollars spent in U.S. politics

Those $10-15 mil are given to politicians and the billions are spent from US tax payers money.

> For this to be true it would also require Israel to "buy" presidents who acted against Israel's interests

You might want to look into campaign contributions made by AIPAC and similar isreli institutions to these presidents.

> Most (75-90%) of U.S. Federal military aid to Israel is contingent on Israel buying from American companies.

Which effectively makes these weapons free for Israel. US is literally funding Israeli army.


> Those $10-15 mil are given to politicians and the billions are spent from US tax payers money.

regardless of where the money comes from, my point was that money is not enough compared to the rest to claim that Israel has "bought" candidates.

> You might want to look into campaign contributions made by AIPAC and similar isreli institutions to these presidents.

The pro-Israel lobby certainly donated to them, it was just not enough to justify the claim that Israel has "bought all previous US presidents." And the fact that those presidents acted against Israel's interests shows that if there was an attempt to "buy" them, it failed with respect to policy.

> Which effectively makes these weapons free for Israel. US is literally funding Israeli army.

You are right that the U.S. is funding Israel's military, but my point was that there are in fact conditions to the funding and the U.S. does get something in return if you consider the indirect subsidy of the American defense industry.


$10-15/per day adds up real quick especially for people who travels to work daily.

> If you’re poor you’ll use your brain and pay the $2.95 to ride the train

I hope you do understand this is only viable for people who live or travel near train stations.

Anyone who live far from rail network would have to rely on bus/cab/ride-share to complete their journey and end up spending almost as much as one would on a car but without the flexibility.


> this is only viable for people who live or travel near train stations

There is plenty of parking at NJTransit, Metro-North and LIRR hubs outside the congestion zone. The people who drive private cars in Manhattan are comparably wealthy.


> There is plenty of parking at NJTransit, Metro-North and LIRR hubs outside the congestion zone.

Once again this assumes the destination is close to train station.


> the cost of moving to the place in the first place, social connections, health (even worse for those with disabilities), emergency services, retirement, etc etc

Anyone moving to bay area for a higher income job would have most of these issues.

A forum full of people willing to migrate for better income and lifestyle should not be criticizing "cost of moving", "social connections", "health disabilities" and "retirement".


I might be misreading your reply, but what you’re keying in on and singling out is a tiny fraction of the audience the article is arguing for. My problem is with how shallow this article is and how it throws a wide net that doesn’t cover a ton of situations that prevent people from doing what he claims is possible for just about anyone if they change their mindset. If the argument were just for the subset of users you’re using as an example, then sure? But that’s isn’t as clickbaity and certainly doesn’t support the claim that any young person can just up and do what the writer claims.


llm, as source, makes your point moot.
