Its written like it's making a praiseworthy point, but mostly comes across as luddites.

My follow up would be - how many are unemployed vs employed. From what I do know, most linux devs also work someplace, so either directly or indirectly have the means for a 20-100 dollar subscription a month. More than that, I've not s

Seems low. 80% people are manually typing in things? In my circle it's close to 0% code written manually. Do linux devs live in a completely different microcosm?

News piece with unnecessary annoying editorializing. I think the idea of plasma widgets and rails fully being customized per user giving them material control on ones desktop is a good idea. We need good ideas to counter and take on the oma

I apologize to GPerson for needlessly trying to convince him to my point of view. He seems to be an smart person deeply affected by how LLM are affecting his vocation and work. It was wrong of me to do this and I will take a break from this

It will. you lack imagination, and have a unnecessary high opinion of yourself.

I cheer for a path that opens up the future wider for knowledge.

This job based pursuite of knowledge is impure. Drop it.

The direction of continue shotting will develop a new culture that lead to a much more wider understanding for humans in the field of math. Find a way to accept this new culture and you'll thrive.

Jobs will come and go. I'ts their nature. What makes you treat job over pursuit of knowledge. It is lowly and unbecoming.

What's this obsession with credit. From elsewhere in the thread: > people spending their lives trying to promote humanity What does this even mean? Become a monk? They are credited with helping humanity.

WTF? Have some humility towards someone who took the time to talk about their work. And made intellectual progress. Air your LLM greviences someplace else.

I personally don't think there's a correct concept of money. Money describes how happy I feel, and the correct money I should have is whatever describes my current mood. So what can we collective do with money so I feel most happy

Sadly, you will have to choose another profession, and as your example shows, the better paying ones need 10 years of gruntwork to get there.

I'm curious - how do you explain the fact that as you look all around you, lesser number of devs are having fun?

That's like saying don't agent your mom and dad. is anyone? A reprot for your boss? or code? we're past that.

For those looking: Fig 4a, the right 2 designs are the winner. https://academic.oup.com/view-large/figure/512223725/pgaf087... I do recall there was another story of putting a "target" at the right

I don't get this. There's one post. Are we saying AI is not fair use and let's save copyright from it's ongoing trivialization? I vote no.

Serious question - what's so special about personal merit anyway? In hunter gatherers it was might, in current age it's brain, but either are equally arbitrary. I prefer a world that's equalocracy, with a focus on specific pe

I don't think you'll find this community welcoming the idea of lower pay (and hence a more volatile employment). Overall if in the next 12 months I fully expect compensation on average to be down 30-50%. It's impossible for i

I think this will go hand in hand with tech compensation and jobs falling off a cliff. In the AI world too, we can't have our cake and eat it.

Your water supply is administered online. Your land records, taxes, revenue are online. Stock market is online. Power systems are online. Nuclear power reactors are (kind of) online. Money to bribe people to do work is online

I'll be blunt rather than couch it: all the things you've listed will make you a ralph loop target in the org. You are adding human in the loop where the industry is moving in the opposite direction. This is generally true across

The loss of identity is quite destabilizing, and our industry is not doing enough to address it. For example, one thing we could do is move identity to value to the user, in a structured way. It is possible, but hardly any team is thinking

I'm all ears for a solution. But all I hear is some workers want to bar other workers (H1B, seniority, etc) from working. I hear nothing about organizing. Class warfare is nice to write about, but there's been 0 credible approache
