One safe space for me is the IPCC report summary document itself. It's generally couched much more cautiously than most of the rhetoric out there. Its authors seem to really bend over backward to try to accurately characterize the vari

Did autocorrect change "I have ..." to "AI have ..."? if so - ironic! (AIronic?)

yes, but there are species not too dissimilar from us who live much longer lives - bowhead whales, for example, can live to 200. and extended lifespan goes along with extended healthspan - so we don't have to live the last 30-40 years

I follow the longevity space a bit and I believe the implication of nucleosomes in the aging process is a new idea? Wonder why nucleosomes become less frequent as we age ... I know cancer mitigation can sometimes be the reason for these kin

I've had the Principal Engineer title for several years now. I think I got basically because everyone else seemed to have awesome sounding titles like that and I asked for it. My manager probably felt guilty because he wasn't givi

"Marooned in Realtime" by Vernor Vinge contains a mind-expanding vision of exponentially accelerating AI. I kind of never stop thinking about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marooned_in_Realtime

are new threads unmuted by default? presuming yes but could be neat if not (like HN's "new" tab). threads become like subgroups I guess, with names, changing member lists - and ... ? retention policy? delete permissions? ai

I tried to get chatgpt4 to generate a basic react app that had a public page and a private page. you get access to the private page by authenticating with a google auth popup. gpt valiantly generated code and instructions for google auth. t

yes - and in another way, too. a lot of the demand for programmers is driven by successive waves of new technology adoption and investment - and AI is looking to be a motherload that should keep us going for awhile.

many programmers (most?) spend hours a day coding and see it as the best part of their day?

yup just literally talked a client out of a nice little mobile project by telling him my rate. lets say I had AI by my side - I'd be quoting the same rate, but number of hours would be lower. project might be a go then.

Iteration and integration, the tasks which take most of at least my time as a developer, could fade significantly - or become automated themselves. We won't have understanding of our code, similar to how we don't understand the ma

In the US I believe zip code is not required? And if you're sending just within your town, maybe not the town/state? So would something like "125 Main" or "4 State" work?

I have severe sleep apnea and made the switch from CPAP to MAD a couple years ago. Expensive but covered. Never looked back. Much simpler on every level, works about the same. My wife confirms I don't have apnea episodes.

100% retailer markup is the norm, no? and also, they made their name as a discount bookseller and still have the best price on books, correct? So presuming they're not marking books up 100%
