enjoiful commented on Toyota Reveals Maverick-Sized Electric Pickup Concept We've Been Waiting For thedrive.com/news/toyota-... · Posted by u/PaulHoule

This isn't a truck.

This is an SUV that is vaguely truck shaped.

I want a small truck with a 6 foot/ 2m bed, and regular cab so the vehicle is still a reasonable length that can fit in a parking space. 3/4 ton or 1 ton suspension like on some of the old small Toyota trucks would be ideal. I'd like to get this small truck with a few safety features like air bags that are missing from the 70's - early 90's Japanese trucks that otherwise fit the bill.

I don't understand why automakers seem incapable of building a small truck anymore. There are smaller cars that pass safety testing, so that is not it.

I've been wanting this exact product for years. Decades now. I don't need power or towing. Nor do I need to transport anyone else but me and one other. But I do want a long truck bed -- 6 foot!

These are the three questions of the Cognitive Reflection Test:

(1) A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? __ cents

(2) If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets? __ minutes

(3) In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake? __ days

Here's ChatGPT's responses. It's fascinating that it provides the same incorrect answers as people... I'm not sure how to interpret this from the robot.

(1) "The ball costs $0.10. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, so it costs $1.00 + $0.10 = $1.10 in total."

(2) "If 5 machines can make 5 widgets in 5 minutes, then each machine can make 1 widget in 5 minutes / 5 machines = 1 minute. Therefore, 100 machines can make 100 widgets in 100 minutes."

(3) "If it takes 48 days for the patch of lily pads to cover the entire lake and the patch doubles in size every day, it would take half that time, or 24 days, for the patch to cover half of the lake."

I asked ChatGPT this question. Here's its first response:

Q: "A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?"

A: "The ball costs $0.10. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, so it costs $1.00 + $0.10 = $1.10 in total."

Fascinating that it gets it wrong exactly the same way that a human gets it wrong. I kept trying a few times, and eventually could get a correct answer out of ChatGPT. But most of the time it gives the wrong answer.

enjoiful commented on I fucking hate Jira ifuckinghatejira.com/... · Posted by u/yakshaving_jgt

hn_throwaway_99 · 3 years ago

I feel like hating on Jira is the pastime that is now passed down from each generation of programmers to the next.

I'm going to stick up for Jira. I certainly don't "love" Jira, though I do think they've made significant improvements with "new Jira" (I think they call them team-managed projects now).

The problem I have with the incessant Jira bitching is that I rarely feel that bitchers have a true understanding for the extreme difficulty of the organization-wide problem Jira is trying to solve. It's always taken on from the position of "well, it didn't make my specific use case easy", but never with an appreciation with some of the complexity that Jira needs to solve for other users at your company, never mind other companies.

Obviously some of the complaints (speed, stability) are very valid, but here's a question I think is just as valid: why don't you think some other company has come along and toppled the Jira crown? Certainly tons of them have tried, and while many have their supporters, they are almost equally likely to have their detractors.

The fact is, building a generic project management and tracking tool is a really difficult, hard problem. In my old age as a programmer I feel like Jira is kind of like our form of government: "Jira is the worst project management tool, except for all the others".

Honestly, the app called Shortcut is the Jira killer. It really is that good.
