It will be interesting to see how ChatGPT interacts with BS jobs. Could go a lot of ways. One interesting scenario is if humans to finally accept that if you have a big population in a technologically advanced society, the demand for human

>Why can't healthcare be fixed? Because doctors and patients won't fix it. Doctors can charge whatever they want. They could see more patients, charge less, and charge cash. They could do their own diagnostics during the vis

I use it for similar things as GP, and find its strengths to be similar too. ChatGPT hallucinates SVG path attributes. Ask it to make an svg of a unicorn - it will give you markup that looks okay, but if you look at the values of the paths

PBS News Hour is a great resource. They now have a YouTube channel with all their content, including live streams. They tend to have a very sensible approach to news. They don't have sponsors to please or audience numbers to hit. They

That link honestly makes a good case for why people should pay for Docker Hub. I'm not kidding.

Wow, this is some serious Streisand effect. Thanks, the Ohio cops suing him, because you're going to make this story blow up even more now.

Things aren't normal because JavaScript in the browser is, technically, a very strange starting point for a computer revolution. It is quite different than the Unix REPL approach that preceded it. Much of the craziness is around shoe-h

No need to be pessimistic. Humans are quite powerful, we have billions of years of brutal iteration in us. I think we can handle AI, even AGI, if we exercise even a modicum of care. It will probably take some major calamity to convince peop

How would it look? If I am a state security person with a gun, and I'm asked to invade someone's home, I would expect to get a face-to-face meeting with the person who really believes this is necessary, with the evidence laid out.

Remember that AI work with electrons, and we are of atoms. We should focus on where electrons control atoms, and reduce those points. Of particular concern is that AI may be a very strong investor with the right prompts. AI could also figu

It's a systemic failure because the public has lost clarity of thought and have forgotten entirely the importance of character in general, and self-restraint in particular, in leadership. A problem I think can be causally linked to Cit

The system always has and always will massively incentivize personal failures. That's why humans invented the concept of a "good person" -- it describes one who actively swims against the omnipresent tide. It's why peopl

No, it's a personal failing. Janet Yellen could have told them to fly a kite.

Wow that's a proposal! I really like the idea of pattern matching, and I'm glad you're steering clear of modifying switch, but I find the sketches in the proposal pretty hard to read, especially with the combinator examples.

The users of mailchimp don't need to make another mailchimp. They just need to handle their own email needs. That's a big difference. It's still not easy, and I would never be glib about it, especially since I've never r

800M is 10% of the current population - the OP's point is that if he's right, there's a non-trivial chance that he, and you, may be dead, making the prediction moot. In terms of EV, it never pays to bet on the apocalypse sinc

Tools matter. When I learned SQL long ago it was with FoxPro for DOS, and it was a great tool for doing both SQL and text based UIs (as with curses). Later, I used MS Access 97 and it was an even better tool and sparked a lifelong interest
