Before speaking authoritatively as a debunker, you should be careful about accuracy. The video you linked is not of the alleged Tic Tac, it is a completely separate incident known as GIMBAL. The only public data on the Tic Tac UFO is the FL

Ah, a nice visual proof that these AI systems are actually synthesizing images with a degree of inspiration from prior art similar to the way humans do.

An autonomous monitoring system for galactic-scale existential risk bearing technologies would def have probes that monitored the technological development of remote civilizations.

This comment reads like it was generated by an LLM - well done.

A huge benefit of deleting tests isn't merely the reduction in maintenence but the reduction in "conceptual drag". Tests cause design decisions to get baked into code to a higher degree than if the same decisions were made in

Weiner is DSA so this isn't too surprising given the long winding march they've been taking (and succeeding) to destroy everything here. Most likely the net effect will be more people leaving behind California as it plunges into t

Take a second and consider the tradeoff here. I think you're underestimating the benefits of deleting tests. This doesn't mean that you should delete your tests, but you should definitely should be able to steelman the argument

This is why analogies like the wheel analogy are silly - to stretch it closer to reality, sometimes you are eyeing a wheel in Go and a wheel in Erlang, so you’ve gotta pick which one to port.

Anything like this for Python?

Well I think eventually humans won’t have any role, but it does seem like a pretty robust prediction that until then, the role of the human programmer will slowly morph into what looks like a manager of 1000x engineers with perfect communic

It’s not about learning AI so much as learning how to manage, delegate, and ask for exactly what you want. The last skill is basically what you already do as a programmer, but you need to be able to precisely ask for bigger things.

These tools don’t introduce design decisions or other things that really constitute most of the “art” of programming. They just help you with the lowest grain bits of moving data around. This is probably a temporary condition but your conce

Apple’s headset is still expected this year - if Apple thinks the world is ready this year, that’s saying something.

Ultimately though the argument you have set up here seems to make it all but impossible for AI to displace humans in the legal profession. If the argument is "precedent rules" then "only humans can be lawyers" is precede

Layoffs don't prove the CEO made a mistake. Understaffing and overstaffing are both errors. A small layoff when the SHTF shows they at least didn't understaff. If you're a growing startup in ZIRP, understaffing is arguably a

Same. Lawyers are screwed - they have been an insanely overpaid profession forever, this is going to be absolutely devastating for them. Also, there isn’t a whole lot of leverage in lawyering compared to the other professions that AI is poi

If this is the case, the lawyers should have nothing to fear, and the plaintiff nothing to lose but a parking ticket. I say we stop arguing and run the experiment.

It feels like an LLM should easily be able to handle this problem. Some of these kinds of authoritative voices are almost certainly represented in its latent space.

The average take here is prob to laugh at this, which is fine - but maybe consider, for a moment, there is something to this.

I can't parse what you wrote - shutting down any API relieves some maintenence burden.
324.
by gfodor 4y ago
What I said is definitely true - supporting that old version isn’t free - it needs to be maintained and all new features need to not inadvertently break it. I’m not saying this was necessarily a good move, but the upside to killing an API i

326.
by gfodor 4y ago
It depends. Probably imo, but this speeds up product development significantly and frees up a ton of resources in exchange for alienating a lot of users and the network effects of an API. Who knows if this kind of analysis was considered, b

by gfodor 4y ago
I think that is right. A public API radically slows down product iteration since each feature needs to be considered in terms of its blast radius to third party clients. It probably burned the bridge for good this time, but killing the API

Pipes are cool but this falls pretty hard on the side of adding too much cruft to the language.

This is kind of a fascinating idea - wouldn’t it be kind of an amazing “public service” to just deploy a large reflective perfect sphere into space at the galactic restful reference frame?

It matters not to the driver or to the general public but to audiences like this one where knowing if a 10+ year old mature system not based on ML did this or a beta, in progress neural network based system did this makes a difference in th
