That's great and all, but that's not the point I was making and you're engaging rather uncharitably on it. So when you view it from the perspective of capability increase it's rather impressive. Note the slope of progres

> Can they write production software without careful and close human supervision? Not yet. That's not disparagement, just an observation of where we are today. I never claimed they could! I just view this as a successful experiment.

Sorry where are we seeing that it failed? It compiled multiple projects successfully albeit less optimized. " It lacks the 16-bit x86 compiler that is necessary to boot Linux out of real mode. For this, it calls out to GCC (the x86_32

I mean that was pretty much the case in hiring before AI too frankly. It's not like it's been any better on power dynamics and right now applicants are using AI at an alarming rate as well. I'm not really moved by your type o

OpenAI has 900 million weekly active users. So around 0.01% are having problems. That's actually way less than population level measures for the same symptoms on a bigger percentage of people relative to the US on just suicidal ideatio

I made this point elsewhere, but people are learning a lot of what us had to learn the old way which is no one cares about your stuff for the most part and now the value provided has to go way up to get people to care. That is, as the autho

I want my party back and I want to cut out all the garbage that has infested it. Sometimes that requires taking an actual stand and staying firm to it. Middle road nonsense like what you're suggesting is impotent when one side has so c

My argument is more along the lines of "slow change has resulted in decline observably for the time period I have observed it and we should try catalyzing something else" I grant that whether that winds up being fast or slow even

Of course they do. Most of their platform is built on [appearing] to repudiate coastal elitism and left wing dogma in higher education + globalism with a healthy dose of fuck you because you're you. And I graciously waited and allowed

The republicans are building things not just destroying is the point. It’s just stuff you wont like. This is why Im not a democrat. The left hasn't been able to effect change or be useful ever [my entire life], sure loves to moralize t

No offense, but this comes off as passive indifference and while I've heard people say things like this all my life it has broadly resulted in watching 30 years of societal decay. I can't help but think this is wrong. We should ha

It's increased mine if it works for the repugnant morons in government right now we can use the same playbook for positive change.

by ianbutler 6mo ago
I don't think that's going to work. We need broad political change and then that has to work rapidly to legislate this. I don't think slow and steady has done anything but lead to the decay our institutions over the last 70 y

So much of what I know from women in my life is that the human element of medicine is almost a strict negative for them. As a guy it hasn't been much better, but at least doctors listen to me when I say something.

job market is 2019 levels this rhetoric is nice, but doesn't stack up. yes it's not 2021 levels which is where they over hired and hired a bunch of people they would not have hired before then.

Interestingly, the smartest people I know have the widest range of media consumption and understanding. To assume that because someone uses a marvel reference they might not have a deeper cultural education is rather...limited thinking.

Yeah I started programming in 2006 as a kid and then entered professional work in 2016 I guess as still a kid depending on your perspective :P This is really the first meteoric rise in tech I've seen / am experiencing first hand.
