You could argue that there is a capital built up - but even that is difficult as a lot of the knowledge for, eg., building LLMs can not demand rent. Everybody can build their own transformer networks. > To put it another way, the cost pe

The opportunity cost of that privilege is still non negligible, even if you (like in Denmark) get paid to do your tuition free degree.

Proton is horrible. Notoriously bad email service. I ended it after they only sent half my email to my accountant because they would apparently send the server saved draft version, which was not made current when I clicked send.

Sometimes I write angrily to companies. Usually not on the first email (though it can be incredibly formal). The cases I can remember is bike rental company that didn't want to provide a receipt, airline that didn't want to accept

I'd say that smart phones are a bigger problem than porn. If you are in the category that would sit and watch porn in the public, then you already wouldn't need birth control.

What benefits does a baby hold? Can a baby freely open a bank account, start a company, get married? A baby has the benefit of being attended their basic needs. Just like Ai is also being fed power.

Again, you are reading a conclusion into the blog post that was never stated. The only stated thing was that the author changed their mind slightly about AI. There are no general conclusion that you so eagerly are trying to dismiss.

What is the general conclusion that you don't think follow? That the author changed their personal opinion and became more optimistic? I think you are reading things into the blog post that is not written. It is not like they conclude

That does not seem to be related to llms? It is more about the harness that utilizes them, right?

I use Ai to remove large amounts of code from our code base. Do refactorings that would not have made business sense before. I also use Ai to be more ambitious. Online evaluation for our in app flows instead of offline. So for us the entire

The question is what higher level skills there will be to focus on? I am not convinced that there are tasks, like project management or architecture, that the Ai is inherently worse at.

Project planning is not more abstraction - a lot of companies use junior staff as project managers. And sure, they will also find a hard time finding jobs, unless they can move up the hierachy.

Yes, so when a tool is walking any monkey through a process, it does bit have a value anymore. This is why people stopped adding word, excel and googling skills into their resumes - it is assumed that you know how to use the office suite an

Sure they do - there are a lot of people who thrive working with concrete technologies and solve relatively straight forward issues (implement this component - style work). These people will see a brutal job market that is forcing them to t

You are on point: The developers of the future need to hold much more of the domain that is being developed for. It is not a job to write JSX and tailwind classes anymore, so you need to move up in abstraction - and complexity. Not all can

Quite a few developers will likely loose their jobs. In particular the ones who don't have mental capacity to work with models - the ones who are forever junior. The engineers who can manage large scale projects using agents will, on t

Given how I can manage and develop a huge production code base with an incredibly small team - and the rest of the industry apparently is not able to do it - I deem that we are still in the very early days.

There is this over indexing in training data that I find quite problematic. I have really good results getting LLMs to read documentation and work of these. This is in domains probably sparsely represented in the training data.

I can recommend reading section 2 of the paper. The goal was not to define unsolved problems. But as such, the problems are also not previously published problems. This seems quite reasonable IMHO.

Yes, you are pointing out exactly how HA is difficult. There is a whole slew of downstream things you need to take into consideration.

Sure, why not?

Obviously these are application decisions. You, obviously, don't commit important data only to a session that you can loose, if the application does not allow it. We use redis as infrastructure. To route events and as a cache. For us r

I don't think you understand what HA means. The app would look up in both databases. If it exists in any, there would be a session. Thisnis strictly different from partitioning which I think you are mixing it up with. Paritioning is fo

If they need a general purpose distro for a server, absolutely. That would likely be a better recommendation than android.

Ubuntu server distributions are definitely general purpose.

by tossandthrow 4mo ago
This case is exactly what he talks about. To get HA just setup more than one redis cache - or rebuild the session if it was lost in the redis cache.

Spending one to one defines what people are using their time on. The current oligarch structure lets very few people decide what people use their time on. In more equal societies, the decision of use of time is a democratic process.
