Yeah, that works. My process is very different, but your advice is better as it hangs more on actionable tactics than learning intuition. > Once you understand the underlying data structures, all the magic goes away. As it should. Once y

I am old :) But experience is a big thing; I can sniff by just skimming the table definitions where probably something is very wrong. In uni in the 90s I studied both relational theory and formal methods and I had to spend a lot of time fig

Exactly; I prefer rich expats who (or their company) pay multiples of the average rental price for that reason. They don’t complain, pay on time and usually even fix stuff themselves (for free) as they don’t want to wait for anything. And t

Sure, but if you have something as clear as some of the actual deterministic python code from the article, this doesn’t fly. Close-ish to correct makes sense for some problems and makes no sense at all for others.

Sure, but adaption can be a number of things. There is no real reason you cannot ‘go back’ if you adapt that way; it is a choice either way. Ofcourse things are not the same but the feel can be. And your heart definitely is a lot stronger (

If you can predict that for any input then indeed you are right. Gpt3 cannot (yet) though. It is eerily (but logically) flawed in its guessing.

It is fundamentally different in mathematical foundations; some functions are proven formally verified and therefor will execute 100% perfectly (I guess you are talking about actual bugs like hardware issues?); what gpt3 does is not even cl

A well read smart human won’t guess things; they will look it up, find software to get the correct answer (like a calculator) or refer to a colleague.

The point of the article is that gpt3 can run code?

Yep, I posted this idea on Reddit recently and people said they need a formatted syntax because of diff and version control; we do not; get the ast, reformat in the editor as the particular user fancies and generate diff and version control

Funny you say so; we are playing with the thought of moving to east AU (Queensland) as my business partner opened up a company and is looking for specific skills to join him there. I guess the weather will be more of a problem there as it i

I saw massive differences in window managers. Every Linux machine I have beats windows in battery life by a very large margin iff I use i3. With default (‘nicer looking’ depending on taste) they do far less. Like my 2011 x220 still does 15

I am going to bet these people were axed by the ads machine learning and not by the Google play team. Please make sure to not rely only on ad income; it ends badly as Google has the monopoly on those; other ads generally do not pay unless y

My Adsense was banned (many years ago) with similar wording and yet I was never given a real reason. The final termination email said the reason was outlined in earlier emails, but it was not actionable detail; the previous emails just said

I would say it is unavoidable; you can kick them off but then they will sign back on with something you cannot identify. I myself always try to communicate with them and see if there is room for cooperation. You would be surprised how much

Yes, like my company, who in turn make useful apps for consumers which was far harder (and more expensive) before. You had to jump through all kinds of hoops, you don't need to jump so many here in EU/UK. I did integrations in H

This is how I speed read for decades (autodidact); I swoop over the page once with my eyes and then just jump over it more or less like they show here. Allows me to read multiple books per day.

You can put this in your build steps that it downloads everything; I have that and prefer it anyway; companies ‘tend’ to suddenly remove, change or switch things off or get hacked.

You should not do any tracking (in which case you do not need any pop-up and approval dialog) and if you put things like twitter feeds, Google analytics and Adsense, you need to have a choice for the user which, if they do not want this, wi
