Enterprise code is brittle. It's limited by business requirements like having multiple teams working on the same feature, or having the flexibility to change teams and have new people work on partially finished code. In theory we could

If you can't afford even the cheapest housing in America, then housing isn't the problem, right? And if someone can't afford a bus ticket (or even come up with the money) chances are they need a lot more help and it's a

In that scenario, why would you not live with a relative until you can find work and pay rent? If they're not helping you at that point, they're not worth that much as family, in my opinion. I would guess most homeless people have

It's been proven to work with MMOs. I think people do want rich 3d interactions with other people, it's just about execution and making a virtual world people want to be in. With gamers, that world can be low resolution and the in

At the end of the day the "metaverse" will just be a bunch of servers that are keeping track of different application states that are sent to different VR clients. It's basically a VR MMO game (massive multiplayer online). It

Like everything in nature, socializing has a function, and it has been increasingly eroded by technology. Even a few thousand years ago it was the deciding survival factor. As we move deeper into the information age, it seems more and more

Fair point, although remaining in the same position without promotion is usually discouraged and not a real option in the long run. Yes, promotion means more value added, but that can be defined many ways. In tech companies it usually inclu

This is the framework beneath the language that as an engineer has gone above my head for a long time. Large tech companies often fail to bridge this language gap, and maybe that contributes to some friction overall. On a slightly different

You're missing the part where, in theory, an AGI could duplicate itself, and use the Internet to spread in the effort to survive and also multiply its productivity. Unless embodiment is required, which there is no real proof of yet, th

I bet sugar is even more harmful, yet I doubt there will be any raising of awareness on that front (from the health industry). I think removing sugar from most foods in the grocery store would have much more impact than banning all alcohol.

First, it has ethical implications, since we wouldn't want certain experiences for conscious beings compared to unconscious algorithms. Second, it is not clear that general intelligence can be achieved *without* consciousness. Our only

Also would like to know. I can't even listen to the full songs, and assuming I have to pay. I can't imagine buying 120 million songs, so it has to be some collab with iTunes.

Yes, and I think it is because it is about being evaluated (inevitably). Standups should be about teammates discussing tasks among each other, this is less pressure and creates more of a helpful atmosphere. However in most teams/compan

I think slicing the water computer would produce two distinct minds, even though the experience for each would be the same. I would certainly expect two brains with identical neurons and identical inputs to also produce the same experience.

Aside from practice, of course, it depends on the genre. Most of the time though, I find that looking for the community and consuming some of the content they create is a quick way to get up to speed on the "meta". Simply observin

There's always going to be a programming layer, at least until AIs can self-improve, and at that point it's basically AGI. In other words, programmers will be needed until the "singularity" and then we have no idea what

I'm seeing a lot of Musk posts, but they're mostly negative. I'm just saying, I visit dozens of online aggregators, and I've yet to come across one that is "balanced". It's almost impossible at this point.

Yeah but then no one believes in free speech. It was much worse before, and the people who are leaving Twitter were the ones (presumably) justifying that other censorship. My perspective is that at least now it's out in the open.

What's the point of moving to Mastodon if you still need to promote your posts on Twitter? This seems like cognitive dissonance... rage quit Twitter, only to gripe about Twitter features. Just use Mastodon.
