I guess some are more bothered by this than others. A bit harsh to claim there is deception going on. Like I said, I’ve never paid Apple a fee and I have several original apps on my iPhone.

You are contradicting yourself in your comment.

> That 100 dollars is just the fee to even make an app. Even if your iPhone never has an Internet connection. And even if you literally load the app via USB to your iPhone only. This is incorrect. You make it sound like you cannot even g

I've been doing it that way for years on the free account, never seemed like a bother to me. I usually have a tweak I want to make to the code anyway. But I suppose some might find it inconvenient. In any case, to say you can't pu

I’ve never considered or tried anything other than using a Mac, so I don’t know. But I was responding to a comment about a different matter, the fees for a developer account.

I don’t know what it was like back then but in today’s world you do not need to pay Apple any fees if all you’re doing is writing software in Xcode and deploy it to your own device. You do need a developer account, the free version of one,

There are very few countries in the world that are not a representative democracy. Switzerland is a well-known example of a country where citizens directly vote on most legislation, but in most other countries, you have a parliament, cong

Congrats? But you are not likely a typical user.

> C was the good part of C++ This is certainly a very controversial opinion. The two languages should not really be compared or grouped together, not for at least the last 15 years, but probably much longer. Modern C++ features have been

Your comparison makes no sense to me. Looking at an object and understanding what it is completely different than processing a sequential series of symbols that are designed to have meaning due to a linear order.

The power grid is a huge risk in several major western nations.

I wonder what those ventures actually are and how that money is made?
224.
by jb1991 1y ago
You may very well skip ahead for context, etc, and that is fine, but that doesn't mean you are actually reading out of order. It's one thing to get distracted or interested in other parts of a sentence or paragraph and jump around

That’s absolutely right, but there’s another issue with the LeetCode-style interview that hasn’t been getting much attention lately, including in this article. My company is hiring right now, and we’ve shifted all of our initial interviews

People do skip words or scan for key phrases, but reading still happens in sequence. The brain depends on word order and syntax to make sense of text, so you cannot truly read it all at once. Skimming just means you sample parts of a linear

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about how people read.

I’m confused who you are referring to.

by jb1991 1y ago
Which public company are you referring to? SpaceX is private.

How so?

Everywhere. The US has an infrastructure problem. Whenever I return to visit I can’t believe my eyes.

I don’t disagree, but the problem is, in the very near future the people who are the teachers who should be calling out this behavior will be the ones who have relied on it.

The steepest part of the slope has just started.

You are forgetting the world we live in now where, as time passes, fewer and fewer people will know how to do anything on their own and more and more will only accomplish things by using AI.

It’s funny… because it’s true

Yes, perhaps an "appropriate algorithm" could, but it is my opinion that we have not found that algorithm. LLMs are cool but I think they are very primitive compared to human intelligence and we aren't even close to getting A

Cherry-picking is not a meaningful contribution to this discussion. You are ignoring the entire section on that page called “Weaknesses”.

You’re making the common assumption that “the algorithm“ is everything we need to get to AGI and it’s just a question of scaling.
239.
by jb1991 1y ago
You are suggesting, in your reference to scaling, that this is a game of quantity. It is not.

The Turing Test was never about AGI.
