And how can backends be abstracted away if there is a trade off? As long as compute is a meaningful percentage of spend, the trade off will matter.

Can't you already just use FaaS and managed persistence?

by BobbyJo 2y ago
People still write in languages that force you to manage your own memory. Once performance starts to matter (either due to scale or time requirements) abstractions always have tradeoffs you can't accept.

We ain't even solved garbage collection yet, and you think "back end systems" are going to abstracted away in the next few years?

I feel like a sales tax coupled with a 0% rate on the first X$ of spending would be a sweet spot. Could use a card or something to track taxes per person spending at the register. No tax filing, still lower rates for poor people. That'

This ignores the volume problem. Human written content can be copied and rewritten via AI in a bunch of different ways, instantly. Human content will go away not because it's bad, but because it's immediately drowned out in a way

Exactly. Humans can't compete with AI content filters... but AI can.

I'd put myself on the pessimistic side of all the hype, but I still acknowledge that where we are now is a pretty staggering leap from two years ago. Coding in particular has gone from hints and fragments to full scripts that you can c

I now see AI as part 2 of the CPU evolution. I think there are lots of correlations we can draw on looking at it that way: 1) Lots of players enter at the start because there are no giant walled gardens yet. 2) Being best in class will requ

1) 7 days is a long time. 2) I believe you are confusing the common progressive dosage regimens with delayed effects. The reason fluoxetine typically takes time before you feel effects is because you take a small daily dose that build up in

I grew up there partially. Its a terrible place now.

by BobbyJo 2y ago
Fluoxetine has an insanely long half life, and your brain is sensitive to its affects. Not really a viable option for acute treatment.

It also requires a value proposition that doesn't depend on the current zeitgeist, among other things. Society changes, and stores of value need to exist outside that change, lest they be left behind with the norms and dogmas. This is

by BobbyJo 2y ago
Parent said "store of value" not "currency". Liquidity is probably sufficient for a currency (depending on the features of the liquidity), but it is not sufficient for a store of value.

by BobbyJo 2y ago
You are equating legitimacy with liquidity, and the that isn't necessarily true. Liquidity is necessary, and a good marker, but not sufficient.

I'd wager there is more light today than before LEDs were invented. I'd wager a lot in fact.

Couldn't agree more. Each incoming administration since Bush has only expanded executive power, despite decrying its usage in the admin they replaced. This is a very predictable outcome even when looking ahead from 20 years ago, and it

I'd also like to point out serendipitous external input as well. Isaac Newton and watching the apple fall from the tree for instance. Often, thought processes are steered by external stimuli that happen to occur while the thought proce

We are tolerating China just fine no? Aren't we one of China's biggest trading partners?

You'd be surprised to learn that most Americans also do not like how Saudi Arabia treats its citizens as well. How we feel about a government, and how we interact with it geopolitically, are two different things. We do not like how eit

Same. Friends who just threw money at stuff are millionaires, and I'm... not. Hard to just put the money in and expect more back when it took so much hard work to get in the first place.

I think this is and overlooked factor. Though living standards have not fallen, the perceived risk of it falling is probably at an all time high. We got rid of pretty much all cultural safety nets, and now people are desperate to replace th

I think its mainly a software/use case problem as opposed to an architectural problem. Right now AI systems are built top to bottom to learn in development, and be deployed as a static asset. This isn't because online learning isn

I think what current technology is missing is in situ learning. I don't think that's a massive leap from where we are though.

You can look up his take on the burden of proof. I think GP was referring to his famous quote on the subject.

Have you tried the others? I don't mean to be facetious, and I think you're correct in terms of long term sustainability and health, but, unless you've tried the drugs or are citing a paper, there isn't much substance yo
