Oh goodness that's like trusting one kid to tell you whether or not his friend lied.
In matters where trust matters, it's a recipe for disaster.
- Herring 1y ago*shrug this kid is growing up fast Give it another year and HN comments will be very different. Writing tests already works now. It's usually easier to read tests than to read convoluted logic.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoIt’s also easy to misread tests FWIW.
- dingnuts 1y agothey've been saying that for three years and the performance improvement has been asymptotic (logarithmic) for a decade, if you've been following the state of the art that long.
- inetknght 1y ago> shrug this kid is growing up fast Mmmhmm. And you think this "growing up" doesn't have biases to lie in circumstances where it matters? Consider politics. Politics matter. It's inconceivable that a magic algorithm would lie to us about various political concerns, right? Right...? A magic algorithm lying to us about anything would be extremely valuable to liars. Do you think it's possible that liars are guiding the direction of these magic algorithms?
- habinero 1y agoSure, and there was a lot of hype about the blockchain a decade ago and how it would take over everything. YC funded a ton of blockchain startups. I notice a distinct lack of blockchain hegemony.
