- dom96 2y agoI'll never understand people that cannot imagine progress hitting a wall. Where are our flying cars?
- KaiserPro 2y agoI've never understood why people are projecting infinite and uniform growth of x. The path isnt linear. I'm lucky to have some of the best AI integrations around, most of the time they suggest boneheadded bollocks that blocks out the proper actual autocomplete. It is good at suggesting code hints outside of the IDE.
- grumpopotamus 2y agoI was just thinking about how common this is, even for experts in a field. The line of thinking goes something like: 1. Observe the current state of the art. 2. Make a claim implying that we will NEVER advance beyond the current state of the art (often despite accelerating progress in the field).
