Compilers are translators, but generally from one formal language to another. Speaking English to GPT4 and getting a fully functional program is a whole other beast. Sure, I guess you could abstract it away and call an LLM a compiler as wel

If you think like that, then no problems should be solved by tech because there are completely viable non-tech solutions: Uber: just hail a taxi Amazon: just visit your local bookshops netflix: Renting DVDs is perfectly fine. Spotify: all t

The world has always been creators versus consumers. The Internet.... And specifically TikTok, have shown that the creator can fragment into millions of sub genres, interests and tastes. It's a fantastic phenomenon that will continue t

This will likely make phones bigger and/or available power (mAh) worse as the battery will need more material surrounding it to make it replaceable. Good intentions but makes the customer worse off IMO

You're not the consumer of news. You are being consumed by the FUD. It's part of the business model to get you hooked.

Your comment sounds cynical but I totally agree with you. As a long time (now ex) trader I can tell you that the professionals have a tremendous information advantage over the retail investor. And even then they don't make money consis

I'm not sure about the 90% figure you quote. I'd say it's a lot less from my experience. But even in that "programming part" I'd say the time to implement core functionality follows the Pareto principle. You ca

Battery swap is probably not the way. My prediction is charging times will get much faster with better battery tech in the next 5 years. We might be able to get a full charge in under 10 minutes - which starts to match the convenience of a
