It is also true developers can have a myopic view of what should be valued and that can be incongruent with the business. You can make a perfectly rational business choice to take on tech debt to get a feature sooner.

What are you alluding to exactly and who is “we” when you say “we need to experience immediate pain from reckless innovation “

The key difference is that the models upgrade multiple times a year. It is an inherently different than a commodity market

That is a fairly sterile reading of the situation. It’s hard to explain to those who haven’t been close to it. It’s like how defaulting to invest in a 401k creates massive improvements for savings for the population with a 401k There are th

Depends how pervasive the issue. I agree a human in the loop for reasonable redress is appropriate

I think the most reasonable answer is that first world countries provide access to many opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. People can and do lift themselves from poverty with these opportunities.

It really doesn’t need to be that much more specified, give it context to the tools and level of analysis you expect then “why app slow” is a reasonable prompt

The parent was obviously referring to 1st world countries

In my lived experience, the majority of poverty is the inability to delay gratification. Whether you want to attribute that to personal failings or to other things is a separate question

Anthropic has gotten much better results by just having a different agent audit the actions of the original agent. It works surprisingly well

i thought it was clear we were talking about internet in the 90s, the original commentor said three decades ago...

The 90s were very different from the 2000s

Sure in the same way you could automate Shakespeare plays by having a room full of monkeys with typewriters. The space of mathematical statements is infinite. Having the taste, insight, and creativity to reach points in that space that are

That is completely discounting future capabilities and new use cases. Sure in 10 years you will have current SOTA locally, but in no way is it obvious we are anywhere near the limit of marginal value from improved capability

Is your opinion that groups of 1000+ naturally align and deliver business value lock step with company needs? Is coordination not needed? Is leadership not needed?

And my point is it’s a strawman. Advanced math is obviously creative to those who practice it, and it’s disingenuous to boil it down to grade school triangle proofs That would be like saying Shakespeare isn’t creative , since grade school

Why is your example SAS triangles and not something like the modularity theorem?

It is widely accepted that you can get better performance with c++ far easier than C. Outside of custom rolling assembly , a large aspect of performance tuning is compile time optimization, which is extremely non trivial in C, while being s

The SAT doesn’t test course material. It is literally just applying middle school math and English proficiency.

It aligns incentives to reduce crunch as much as is feasible

What is the intended purpose of giving a generic notice like this to employees? Are they suppose to compete for job security or start interviewing elsewhere?

We already have data on one of those… Pragmatically, the main reason that has been true throughout all of history is that women are more valuable reproductively. A country can lose half its men in a war and still recover. The same is not t

Multiple projects at once or at least multiple features. I am usually the limiting factor reviewing, not waiting on agents

I think those conversations occur due to changes in timeline of deliverables or certainty of result, would that not be an implementation detail?
