"Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks."

AGI is when it can do all intellectual work that can be done by humans. It can improve its own intelligence and create a feedback loop because it is as smart as the humans who created it.

Instead of generating, exporting or copy pasting just seems more reliable to me and also takes very little time. I think what matters most is just what you're working on. It's great for crud or working with public APIs with lots o

My point is that people making 200k-1000k are closer to middle class than billionaires. So it makes sense to me why they don't group themselves with the billionaires. Anyways, I think the answer is just based on how you want to define

I have ~50k/year of passive income. I'm definitely not in the same class as people with ~50mil/year passive income.

Pay the 10x developers 3x to join your company. A lot of startups are just groups of very skilled engineers who have identified each other and left a behemoth together to work for themselves. It's very hard to give 15+% raises at behe

If someone wanted to sell a new app, they have to get people to recognize their brand and install their app no matter what. Ride sharing companies then also have to reach a critical mass where drivers and riders can match in a reasonable ti

This is why I think it's crucial to find a good engineering manager. He or she takes care of the politics for you and makes sure you're properly rewarded for your work. It lets you keep your head down and focus on tech. They&#x2

Somebody's investment doing well isn't a reason to penalize them. Lots of things have had way higher returns than single family homes.

Yea, the `catch` would probably have to set an 'errors' object on the response. The following `then` would then decide whether or not to throw an error based on that. Not pretty. Also, I think `finally` makes your code easier to

How about the return on PonziCoin everybody missed out on? It's gone up about 10,000% in 2 months. Market cap should surpass global GDP mid-May next year.

Yes, but all the systems put in place to shield fiat from the booms and busts don't exist in crypto. For example, the federal reserve and legislators can manipulate the interest rates and the deficit to encourage people to hold or sell

There are other factors that also push up housing costs. placeybordeaux just disagrees that NIMBYism is the ONLY factor. I don't know if NIMBYism is even the primary factor. For example, we have a small public transit network resulting

> "A house in San Francisco used to cost at $100k, now it costs $1000k. What happened was a massive influx of new people to San Francisco." Seems pretty reasonable to me.

I think it's more common among the very wealthy. When part of the appeal is flaunting your wealth, renting is probably not the way to go. I think a 1000k 1 bed condo is comparable to a 200k car in that it isn't just a place to st

It's not like driving the wrong direction. Lets say you build 3 systems and only one gets used. You are still getting 3x the experience and your revelations could end up being very valuable for the system that does get used.

UBI avoids the step function where there is no (economic) incentive up until the "income floor". Policies like UBI could ally people (politically) of low to mid income.

Electron gives you a view process, background process, and a way for the 2 to communicate. The view process is very limited, just standard web APIs. The background process is basically a node process and can do anything you can in node.

When a important engineer leaves, sometimes a lot more end up following. Or at least their team members more open to looking at other offers.

I went to App Academy with no degree about 3 years ago. It costed 15k after landing an offer (3k up front). For my first year out, I made ~80k in the bay area. The next year, my salary went up to ~120k. I can save up 140k in the 4 years it

JS has been focused on event handling types of problems while python and perl were used for many other types of problems. You can build a GUI with R, but it wasn't made for it.

To me, it's the event-driven problems JS tries to solve that seems to overlap with typical server functionality. That has been true since the beginning.

I don't doubt that you can. But in a lot of situations, as long as the slow stuff like db queries and api calls don't block, it's good enough. And that's easier to accomplish in JS.

Also, JS is built to handle concurrency. Other languages have event loop libraries, but in JS it comes with the language and every web dev uses it.

Ok, then backend folks just do API integrations and database guys just make tables, no real technical challenges anywhere. Anybody getting stuff done is pasting together libraries.
