I am absolutely not aware of where I learned most things. I acknowledge you as my superior.

It's great, but I think reliability is as big a problem there as it is in coding. It's hard to control the output. I won't go into the various problems these tools have, like them ignoring my instructions if they are outside

I’ve tried once with MJ and it looks OK. I’m not even surprised anymore. The devil, though, is in the details. It’s hard to control the outputs. The scene will look 80% OK, but then you want to add some cat somewhere and that won’t be trivi

My god, sorry for the dumb post, but SD is only months old? It already feels like it has been around forever. This space is insane.

I will be replaced and when it happens it wil be for the exact reasons I laid out above and there is nothing I can do about it. Do we disagree about something? It’s not “a take”, it’s how markets operate. Am I missing something?

Your employer couldn't care less about your costs of living. He is a buyer and will gladly pay exactly zero dollars for your services. Unfortunately for him, that's not something you and your friends will accept. The price is hike

My plebeian mind finds it interesting the process quality itself is still the same, only the speed changes. This changes the problem from “change fundamental quality of the process” to “change the speed of the process”, which, again to my u

You base your salary solely on living expenses?

Yeah, I think we get sidetracked by how it “feels” to us when we learn. We forget that is just a convenient story that our mind tells itself. We are incapable or at least severely handicapped when it comes to raw experience and the knowing

Ok, but billions upon billions of “statistical relationships”.. I mean at some point the term “simple” loses its meaning. I get your point though. It is not pure magic.

The point is, you need those equations. Their particular form is secondary and indeed up for debate.

“Programmer got a raise while support staff was fired” We all have different jobs. I guess he did OK enough to receive whatever they agreed upon in advance.

It forces business people to think deeply about every detail, which is the very thing they are delegating. If they were good at that, they would be programmers themselves.

In order to predict the next token it’s doing something more like simulating the writer of the words and the context they were likely to be in while writing the words. You cannot make accurate predictions without understanding the world tha

You mean it’s “emergent”. Yes, I agree. But so is everything else that is not a fundamental particle/wave/string. So, while true, it’s not that useful in and of itself.

It can also “talk shop” with lawyers, doctors.. Are we all vain? I guess we are, but I find this take to be a bit too simplistic. I do agree programmers are arrogant and think everything they do requires vast amounts of intelligence. I’n no

Wow, what a giant word salad. I struggle to parse anything meaningful from it. There is intelligence and it is artificial. I think some people have a real hard time grasping the term “artificial”. There is also this “true intelligence” spec

I wouldn’t want to be around the first few guys with pointy weapons, but I am sure you would be fine.

I literally never had any conversation about using blockchain at work or in our personal lives and I don't know anybody that did. This hype is nothing like blockchain.

But now everyone has that opportunity, so nothing changes, only you get to experience it longer. Bad stuff also has more opportunity..

by SanderNL 4y ago
That comparison holds up better if you imagine a world without knives or sharp objects of any kind. Now you can suddenly do tremendous harm by wielding a pointy stick. I don't think it's reaching to point out the dangers you just

We are a special bunch, I’ll give you that.

Oh right, nice one btw, but seriously how are you not glueing prefabs? Are you writing your own db engine? Network layer?
414.
by SanderNL 4y ago
You do OS development?
415.
by SanderNL 4y ago
See my last paragraph. Also it’s all glueing prefab parts. Software dev is a dead end job anyway, all parts of it.

The core tech of LLMs is famously simple. All the rest decomposes just fine. I know we suck at it and there often nontechnical forces that steer us into other directions, but I don’t see big fundamental issues AI can’t already help with. I

Well, if you ask how to design “large” systems then the answer is already “don’t”. And besides that’s not a technical issue, our issues are organizational and political. Also, yes there is an universal pattern and that is called a competent

Keypressing is a hurdle for me. I know that comes with experience. Very little if any software is truly novel and it all looks and feels very similar. Everything I see is patterns and boilerplate. I do not see the insurmountable complexity

by SanderNL 4y ago
No, I mean basic development of all kind - not just AI directly - is sped up. The fact that downloading and finetuning models is the only hard part of these systems is a testament to how frigging far along we came. We forgot just how hard s

As humans? Well, that’s an arbitrary bar. Are you a speciesist?
