Good god, streisand effect much! But this will probably work with Trump getting changed, that will suck the oxygen out of everything sadly for the next few weeks.

Well H2 is a hedge. It's a green-ish fuel and has potential as a replacement to lng for japan. but more power to toyota. can't wait to get an electric hilux. hopefully it's cheap.

Nah, it'll still be human readable. that was the whole point of C and Java. Let the computers to the hard stuff in bytecode or asm. Compiler development will get even more complex though.

Just make your millions and fight in court for a hundred years whilst they judges spend years learning ML. Are google and oracle are still fighting over java? There's probably not a lot of hope for the litigation on hyper niche bits of

Apart from SF, where there's literally a human shit map because there's no public toilets.

Much new software will be created. And all of it will be legacy. I ask chat GPT to write code and it does it very well. But sometimes it writes real crap. I'm not sure it's yet at a point where you can say, "I have a complex

There's a lot of software being written by one or two people where there's not review. I work on a few of these style systems. It's a judgement game.

I always think about uber. The moment that they have to start treating drivers like employee's they can't make money because self driving cars are still a dream and the taxi business is cut throat and always has been.

We've got better odd's handling cooling than warming. Wet Bulb Temps are not to be stifled with. In you're first scenario, I think there'd be a lot of 'the last of us' style horror to go around. In the second,

I really agree with this. Oil exists in the ground, if we're sensible and pick the correct sites we have a lot of big holes in Australia that could find a second life being remote landfill that is sensibly concentrated. It seems terrib

I'm not sure anyone who did research on a closed source system, without a contract that enables access and a pathway to publishing can legitimately complain about OpenAI making commercial decisions to do whatever they want with their t

I think going on an exciting journey with a really intelligent chatbot that is suffering from Dunning-Kruger effects is going spice up things on the web. Imagine searching for symptoms! What an emotional rollercoaster awaits.

Yeah sun exposure is, and ground crew spend a lot of time on the runway, where if it's concrete, uv hits you from the ground like when you're at the snow. So people are working in the blazing sun, with stack of thermally reflectiv

It's not cosmic rays. It's fuel and oils. Benzene is the OG carcinogen. Military machines are like working with farm equipment, heavy dangerous and with ok-ish ppe which is usually not enough. Just look at the burn pits fiasco.

You're not thinking that companies will not just spin up 5 projects, so 5 programmers produce a notional 25 person's worth of work. And hey, maybe they sack the expensive old guy and the AI spend isn't so great. Seems like a

It's good at tech doco. ie take my dot points and make prose. Great for copy, great for having that nice corporate drone voice.

A-D agree, But thinking about how they train llm's, what happens when LLM's start consuming a lot of their own content? Have you ever been alone for a really long time, without outside input you kind of go crazy. I suspect that a

Any group that can create 'others' has these tendencies. If you like podcasts, checkout "My year in Mensa' where the host passes the mensa test and then finds that all the nice mensa members you meet in person seem to be

It'd be great if GPT could provide it's sources for the text it generated. I've been asking it about lyrics from songs that I know of, but where I can't find the original artist listed. I was hoping chat gpt had consumed

Well the air's generally cleaner now than earlier times in the industrial revolution. If you think about pm2 and not co2 conc. Just look at the photo's of london when people burn coal for residential heating.

No It was a passing comment. I really think that LLM's will make certain aspects of work very nice, like a really good version of intellisense that writes you're whole api for you. I was just thinking that really interesting parts

I don't care if ChatGPT takes my job. Can it also take over my mortgage payments.....that's my bigger concern. We're busy destroying the future of work (I'm not complaining about that), but we're REALLY slow on the
