From a dev perspective, SF needs to die in a fire … it’s bending over companies left and right to extract hilarious amounts of money, not to mention the sheer pain of having to debug the „no code“ flow garbage.

If I remember correctly they are also by far the biggest poster child for OCaml, right? Blub Paradox at play here?

At some point I stopped playing it (after, well, 100s of hours), because somehow I felt that its only getting harder without me getting any reward outside of the raw challenge itself - which then feels just like working. Is there anything I

I'd stand by the bitter lesson ( http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html ) here. of course it feels better to do something clever, finetune models, do clever agents or novel algorithms instead, .

I have a similar deploy.sh script for my go projects, with a slight twist: I compile my Go projects to a binary on a github action, scp it to the server, ssh into it and restart - all done in my deploy.sh and the GHA itself only installs Go

I use both on a regular basis for many years now (and some others), and I'd say it depends. Elixir matches the way my brain thinks somehow, with (kind of) pure functions transforming data step by step, and when you can break down some

second that. also another point: I write most Go code using only the stdlib, so there is no dependency web to take care on top of the actual code.

Actually it’s usable again now. Recently used it for a project with react and SSR and works like a charm. The hype is over, but as of today I‘d still say it’s the most powerful JS framework all around.

if finances remain equal-ish, then I'd say it depends on the individuum and exact circumstances. For example I hate living in the countryside or small village - I'd always pick the densest/urban/modern area I can afford

depends on how you view/classify production, sometimes yes I do! if I refactor some too complicated bash script into a script.go file and then execute it against production DBs/APIs with a `go run`.

If they would allow this (maybe a premium+ model) they could soon destroy the whole porn industry. not the websites, but the (often abused) sex workers. Everyone could describe that fetish they are into and get it visualized instantly witho

but GPT-4 is nearly a year old now, I'd wait for the next release of OAI before judgement. Probably rather soonish now I would expect.

I have hired elixir devs recently, even worse: onsite only, and couldn't help myself with all the applications. And it wasn't like when hiring JS devs that I had to weed out the majority of super-junior candidates first. All aroun

how is the deployment story though? assuming a standard phoenix-on-fly.io process, I was under the assumption that the bumblebee models are downloaded at runtime? or are they "built" as part of the CI pipeline and then shipped wit

but thats the same as in Chess, Go or even StarCraft: the AI is absolutly impossible to beat for human players unless it has explicit flaws built-in. The general point I want to make is that it doesn't make sense trying to compare huma

There will never be anymore. AI simply outperforms humans at increasing rates. When in doubt, for a specific game a narrow AI can be trained up. For the current 1-2 years you can have a shot at physical/sports games, since robots are l
