I don't buy it. How can an engineering team say they have a good process if they don't measure the results of the process? Sure, you can make a lot of logical leaps, but what does it actually produce? How does this compare to hiri

Is the idea of the runtime contracts similar to the idea of runtime validation? Or are they different in some way?

Thank you for writing this, it flowed well and clearly took time and thought to write. I think I still haven't fully understood the significance of aperiodicity, even if I learnt some of its properties. And thank you for elaborating on

Even after reading the Wikipedia entry I couldn't intuit what Aperiodicity means. Does it mean simply lack of pattern? But that doesn't seem to be the case, at least visually. Just last month I wrote a post about how Mendeleev&#x2

It's my first time reading Fukuyama's 'The Origins of Political Order', and there's a point in the book he says (I think; and in my words): we don't actually know how things got to be this way but none of the e

No, it is not pointless to say other things are more important. An order of importance is how you prioritize things. You're asserting that it is critical. Why is code change speed critical? What is your analogy getting it? It does not

I was not merely stating other bottlenecks. I'm saying they're more important bottlenecks. They can't all be equally important bottlenecks; a bottleneck is by definition a singular component or sub-system most-limiting to the

Bottleneck for what? More features? I don't think amount of software is what determines whether a company does well. I don't think capturing quantity of context is that important either. Now, quality of context. How well do the hu

I'm afraid it'll lead to a weird music-ification of content. Music can make you feel good and keep you engaged just purely out of engaging our pattern recognition. AI videos and photos seem to have a similar effect. Even if it&#x2

Yes, lacking for the expert. To the non-expert, probably acceptable, even impressive.

Why would you use an example that limits sharing to loved ones? Your point is thin.

by nilirl 5mo ago
You're right in that our expertise can see how this was not generated with the same kind of thoughtfulness that we might apply. But you're wrong in implying (if you are) that it's not valuable to be impressive to a non-expert

Why would you pick an example that does not have AI as a competitor? If people could generate an infinite variety of chairs in a few seconds, than yes, my sharing would be discouraged.

Yes but you're talking about groundbreaking work. There's so much joy to be found in regular human creating and sharing. The creating part still remains because it's intrinsic but the sharing part feels discouraging now. Regu

Your point? It's an analogical problem. I love writing but even there I have to work doubly hard to make sure I'm doing something valuable. My point is that the space within which human creators can distinguish themselves is dimin
