We've professionalized industries like engineering and medicine because incompetent practitioners are a threat to public health and safety. Software is now in everything and incompetent practitioners have been a threat to public health

In the graphic they also define climatology mean temperature as "what the temperature should be" which is horribly wrong.

Anecdote but recently chatgpt has been giving way too many factually incorrect answers to tech related questions and Gemini has been getting them right.

Last I checked the AI models still used the same initial conditions used in models like the GFS and ECMWF which is a combination of a previous forecast adjusted with observations.

Which is why the lowest earners having the highest percent increase in wages in recent years does not mean much.

I dont get why so many people want to drop calculus from computer science curriculum. Calculus is necessary for basic science and math literacy. People act like it's graduate level math and not something easily learned by any somewhat

Is this why all the coding AI products I've used have gotten worse as the developers fine tune them to eliminate bad output? Before there was bad output and some interesting output, now it's just bland obvious stuff.

People might think you're being hyperbolic about the alfalfa but you are not. 25% of Colorado River water is used to grow alfalfa which is crazy given the contention around Colorado River water rights. https://coloradosun.co

I could have (should have) bought a house before the pandemic but I wasnt quite ready yet. Now housing affordability is so bad I have to save multiple hundreds of thousands more dollars to afford the same house in 2019. That's on top o

You're gonna be seeing articles like this more and more the closer we get to the election. The economy is the top issue this election because despite the image the current administration is trying to paint, people are hurting. I dont k

There are two economies. People who got on the housing ladder before the rate increases after the huge jump in home prices and everybody else. The first group is doing great, the other group is screwed. Once again we've pulled the ladd

TA's can say things like "I dont know, lets figure it out together". LLMs will spit out false information as easily and confidently as true information.

My experience as a TA is students definitely do not have the knowledge to critically verify responses.

K shaped economy. You're talking about your stock portfolio so you're in the top part. Perhaps you should get out of your bubble some time and see how the other half live.

I've seen multiple administrations try to make the numbers seem better than they are but this administration has gone fully into gaslight mode. It's going to get a lot worse going into the election too. You're going to see ar

That's what the cheaters are doing. It's a cat and mouse game and it's hard to detect cheats that are running in kernel space when your anti-cheat is running in user space.

Usually when something's value and limitations has been proven people stop referring to it as AI. AI is used as a marketing term to generate hype for new thing.

You just generalized an entire community based on one person. I can add a counter anecdote to your N=1. I'm a Clojure dev. I've used and enjoyed Datomic. Postgres is still my goto database.

You make claims of massive improvements but as an end user I have not experienced such. With the amount of fake and cherrypicked demos in the AI space I dont believe anything until I experience it myself. >Ironically, Waymo's self-d

You are extrapolating from when we saw huge improvements 1-2 years ago. Performance improvements have flatlined. Current AI predictions reminds me of self-driving car hype from the mid 2010s

I wonder if AI tools is going to kill editor diversity. Every one of these tools VS Code is the first class citizen and other editors are an afterthought. Sure people can write their own Emacs package but that's only if the tool develo
