But the mental strain is how you build skills and get better at your job over time. If it's too much mental strain, maybe your code's architecture or implementation can be improved. A lot of this sounds like "this bot does my

Yes but when you have to do this 13 times, it gets really annoying to manage all those API keys. Especially if you need them in different processing contexts. If I could just have a single public/private key pair for my app it would si

It's pretty on brand for Apple, I'm surprised they hadn't pushed this narrative harder earlier. There were smartphones before the iPhone. Consider the IPAQ and Windows Mobile 6.0. And of course plenty of MP3 players before iP

The one about the Berlin airlift really stunned me. Every two minutes for 14 months?!? You'd think that after a few months they'd lose resolve. Crazy to imagine that it was the Soviets who gave in.

Interesting, so instead of OpenAI giving me an API key, I give them a public key, which they register. Sounds like what we already do with GitHub. I like it.

I guess that's easily addressed by requiring an account and a public key to access the free tier. Still better than having to get yet another API key.

Not sure about who was first but McMurdo station in Antarctica was for a time powered by a nuclear reactor almost identical in power to the one being discussed here: http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2014/ph241&#x2

A 1GW reactor (nuclear fission reactors are usually 1GW, and you'll have a couple or several at a single plant) would produce something like 5-10 metric tons of gold in a year. According to USGS[1] there has been 187,000 metric tons of

Very nice article. The point about mathematical reliability is interesting. I generally agree with it, but humans aren't 100% reliable, or even 99% reliable, so how do we manage to create things like the Linux kernel or the Mars lander

Here's one version of what a great leap forward could look like, but it's simply one of many: an LLM that understand the CPU it's running on and can turn prompts into assembly, taking full advantage of the hardware. Or mayb

No shade at wordle, but what you're describing sounds like it would be useful for the shovelware industry and that's about it. Not exactly a great leap forward for humanity... Although I should be fair, this can help with one-off

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I have a lot more confidence in my own 20k lines of code than an AIs. I've built up skills to write performant, readable, functional, maintainable code. I build it up slowly and I ca

I don't see any actual work getting done here. Just one part where it added reply_to_email to a bunch of classes and removed it from a couple places, which doesn't seem like a big lift.
