Investors are getting impatient! ChatGPT has already replaced Google for me and I wonder if Google starts to feel the pressure.

Out of curiosity I fed ChatGPT 4 a few of the challenges through a photo (unclear if Gemini takes live video feed as input but GPT does not afaik) and it did pretty well. It was able to tell a duck was being drawn at an earlier stage before

I don't see it - and by that I don't mean I don't think AI can write good code and get better over time. I just don't see how it would work as a workflow to replace (most) devs by AI. If I take a junior programmer's

I have the same feeling. 90% of my work is done in Slack and Email threads, if I had a (ideally local) LLM read and learn everything there, it would be immensely helpful - as in it could replace me to answer on most questions and queries.

I think it's the period before death that scares me more than the big empty void. The big empty of death triggers a bit of anxiety but the process of my health degrading is what I feel triggers the depressed feeling...

I do not know how people can deal with the reality of their own death - every time I think about deeply or read an article about it it just destroys my entire day. The author is much braver than I am. I am very scared of death, and what hap

Since Twitter doesn’t seem to be able to find out who is human vs who is a bot, I guess a paid subscription was the next best thing. Plus they get paid.

While 20% is a lot - how far back does this bring the headcount? A lot of these companies have what seem to be large reductions in staff but are more of a correction of insane hiring sprees.

While I'm not neither into or working into crypto - this seems like a poor decisions. I'm sure the field has interesting technical challenges and one could join such a company for them.

I see more and more "middleman" apps such as airbnb or food delivery apps piling up more and more fees as they probably feel the pressure from an environment with increasing interest rates - without improving the service more than

They do but they need their cars to go to work and afford a living. It's usually not a lifestyle choice like an inner city dweller could choose to take public transport or a bike.

>Why would anyone even bother buying with such lousy rent to sale ratios? Speculation. Prices have been going up at crazy rates for years. Something like 10% a year isn't uncommon. Millions of people got rich just buying and selling

We need to have higher interest rates to let the market come to its sense. Then the prices will drop for both buying and renting.

It's an example. For example if each of these functions takes about 0.2 seconds to finish, it might make sense to run them in parallel

Thanks, that's one solution if making multiple calls is needed. That was mostly an example though, for example if I wanted to run 3 functions in parallel, I don't find any "easy" and elegant way. Some libraries exist lik

Remember that your job doesn't define you. If you think of a job as just a tool to make money, lots of the pressure of having a "meaningful" job goes away. The job has meaning because it allows you to feed yourself and your f
