Interesting idea, I actually can't think of anything they are able to communicate that would aid in their rescue. They could probably signal if they are close to the surface, they won't be able to provide much more information on

"Rare" might be a strong word, but I would have order of magnitude more confidence living in an apartment if I know the head engineer who supervised its construction lives in the top floor. Or I would feel 10x more confident in an

With the company's president as one of the passengers this is a rare example where "skin in the game" didn't offer much insurance (or assurance). edit: Actually it seems the person responsible for saftey wasn't on b

The React analogy doesn’t work, React is used because developers find it more productive to use. On the other hand people’s initial reaction to much modern art is “what the hell? you call this art?” so it is interesting to explore why it be

Just curious what kind of career did you have that enabled you to have a long stint as function programmer? The fact that you don't use Leet code makes it also sound you are not FAANG so makes it more intriguing.

This is an easy statement to verify by tracking programmers salary. If AI is more like calculators then we will see no effect (calculators didn't have an impact on accountant salaries). If they are more like proper replacement they sho

I sympathise with this view in general and with her situation having kids she won't be able to see for 10 years. But us I understand in this specific case she played an important role in driving one of her employees to suicide, and her

But you can still point out who the original English were or at least trace almost 100% of English speakers today as originating from 1600s England's conquest of the world. The debate about 'The Celts' is that we can't p

Where would the origin of the Celts be according to current archeological finds if you approached it from this linguistic point of view? Atlantic or central Europe?

I don’t think so, for example if you use dollars to buy Apple stock you are very much still long dollars because a big part of Apple’s valuation is their enormous dollar reserve including t-bills. If instead you used it to buy say Chinese r

I think something like that could and should only work at the government/public/macro level. One approach: when a tenant gets back their deposit via the deposit protection scheme they get asked to rate their landlord and provide f

Of course, everyone is always learning, you can't remain static. But you could afford to become more and more of a specialist in Java and growing your job opportunities that you can apply to. If you became more and more of a specialist

Reskilling is much more productive and fun when you are doing it for the intellectual journey and insight, rather than because you need to do it to find a job. Indeed being able to auto-pilot your job allows you an amazing amount of time an

With those new interpreted language that are easy to pick and have a low-barrier of entry you are constantly having to run faster than an influx of fresh energetic high school dropouts and boot camp graduates. With less fashionable language

Exactly my point. You had proportionally as many perl jobs in the late 90s as you have Ruby jobs today. It even had early mover advantage in the scripting space and insanely good ecosystem of libraries.

You are sort of ignoring the bias in your own AI extremist prediction. People who have decided to go all in in learning an interpreted language like Perl or even PHP, had to continuously also learn react, js, ruby,... and gazillions of othe

See my responses to rest of the thread. Nobody understands or proposed a decent model of how an innate deep learning neural network was trained via evolution. Language acquisition in humans is in evolutionary terms an extremely recent pheno

You missed the point, we are not saying that GPT isn't powerful, we are saying that it is different to human intelligence. Of course GPT will get more powerful and generate more interesting sentences. But until someone demonstrates a G

Plus the human brain and anatomy was ready for it We have no idea how evolution "readied" a deeply complex organ like the brain over many thousands of years, then almost instantly repurposed it for language acquisition and gener

let's even make it 10,000+ generation, this still makes it quite magical to see how these priors could evolve to make language acquisition so trivial to humans relative to chatgpt. Chatgpt requires on the order of gazillion of epochs a

You basically landed on Chomsky's universal grammar. And this only proves the chatgpt critics: we have no idea what those priors are, how they evolved, why they are so effective and thus we are not even sure they exist. Until this is d
