But that’s already the case without a digital id. It’s not like those accounts aren’t already linked together.

I accept all these valid points, but don’t they already know exactly who we are and have a digital file on us already? I mean, I have a drivers licence and a home address and an internet connection I typically don’t use a vpn on. There’s no

I’ll look them up!

I’ll admit it is a bit of a non-sequitur. Just feels like the news I see on HN about LLMs is less groundbreaking every day and more becoming normal/boring

by jama211 1y ago
I’m fully aware.

Exactly. Is HN full of old codgers demanding that we can’t possibly use a calculator because that might mean we’d lose the precious skill of how to use a slide rule? The old man energy in here is insane

Sheesh, how do you expect to be taken seriously when you sneer through gritted teeth like that? I work with many developers of varying skill levels, all of which use AI. The only ones who have attempted to turn in slop are ones that basical

“If you make a machine that can wash the dishes in an hour, is that more productive than not doing the dishes for months?” - Yes! That’s the definition of productivity!! The dishes are getting done now and they weren’t before! lol

To be honest, if that person spent time coming up with world building, plot ideas etc all themselves, got the ai to draft stuff and edited it continuously until they got the exact result they wanted in the form of a novel, then yeah I would

by jama211 1y ago
Well said, people keep acting like one study that has issues can be quoted at me and it somehow erases the fact that I’ve seen simply undeniable productivity gains, drives me mad. I get the feeling no measurement system would satiate them a

Also I don’t know about you but despite the fact that I basically never write with a pen, the occasional time I have to I’m a little slow sure but it’s not like I physically can’t do it. It’s no big deal. Imagine telling someone with a type

Hahaha well said, thank you. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading some of the comments around here. Serious old man shakes fist at cloud moments.

This is so baseless and insulting and makes so many assumptions I don’t think you deserve a response from me at all.
795.
by jama211 1y ago
Exactly, but I don’t think you lose much edge, or anything that can’t be picked up again quickly if it’s truely boring easy stuff. I think it’s a net positive because I can guarantee you there are afternoons where if I couldn’t have done th

No, you misunderstood me. Those other points aren’t related to any criticism of the study. Those are points that backup my other point. I did say I wasn’t going to argue the point that study made, and I didn’t.

There are studies that show doctors with AI perform better in diagnoses tests than doctors without AI. Also I think you’re cherry picking your experience. For one thing, I much prefer code review to code writing these days personally. And I

I don’t think anyone watched that demo back in 1984 and thought “oh this tech means we can talk to computers!” - it was clearly a demonstration of… well text to speech. It demonstrated successfully exactly what it could do, and didn’t imply

by jama211 1y ago
ah, that would explain it. nothing other companies aren’t also doing though. I more long for the day when I can just ask my voice assistant stuff and it knows context from an ancient email of mine or something

What’s there to launder? Perhaps they shouldn’t have as good a reputation as they do, but you can’t deny they do have a good reputation.

I have Gmail and Google calendar etc but haven’t seen any AI features pop up that would be useful to me, am I living under a rock or is Google not capitalising on this advantage properly?

Text to speech has been an incredible breakthrough for many with vision, visual processing, or speech disabilities. You take that back. Stephen Hawking without text to speech would’ve been mute.

But an I + and AI (as in a developer with access to AI tools) is as near as makes no difference the same price as just an I, and _can_ be better than just an I.

by jama211 1y ago
Not this again. That study had serious problems. But I’m not even going to argue about that. I want to raise something no one else seems to mention about AI in coding work. I do a lot of work now with AI that I used to code by hand, and if

Seems llm progress really is plateauing. I guess that was to be expected.

Thank you for this, seems like an iterative improvement.

Well said, it’s a red flag for me if someone both states that they “can’t understand what others like about [thing]” AND then assumes that means they’ve been tricked or they’re stupid or sheep or something else… it’s like, other people havi

Search works great for me, I’m sorry it broke on your machine but it needs to be broken for everyone to be on Microsoft’s level
