While businesses definitely don't need all those features, I guess most use it for compatibility sake - to work with existing files and to collaborate with others who use MS Office. What's current state of open-source alternatives

Sometimes I take it as a challenge to find the real contact and talk to a real human in support. When I do that I feel like I completed the final level on Wolfenstein game.

I started with Applets in 1996, moving from Borland/Turbo C to Java. The Applet UI was never as smooth and rich as the OS-native stuff such as Windows GUI apps. But it was a great developement that brought applications to the web. IE+D

It may be doing the "thinking" and could reach AGI. But we don't want it. We don't want to take a fork lift to the gym. We don't want plastic aliens showing off their AGI and asking humanity to outsource human think

But the issue is, 99.999% of the humans won't see is as a bag of words. Because it is easier to go by instincts and see it as a person and assume that it actually knows about magic tricks, can invent new science or theory of everything

It's a weird feeling. I'm starting to loathe the very art I used to admire and spend lot of hours to create. It's like the Gulliver story where people were fed with lots of tasty food, by the monster.

Maybe software industry should learn from other industries where people don't see estimates as something unthinkable?

The attitude with belief that software work cannot be compared with any other work in other domains, is not going to help. There are far more complex projects out there. Complexity is not feature limited to the work artifacts. It could aris

An aircraft engine could be highly complex, but the flight times can be estimated. Complexity is not issue. Reproducibility, and similarity is missing. Every coding work became an adventure into unknown landscape, with no trekking map.

A couple of decades back PMs used to look at historical data to guide the estimates for a new project. If a similar coding work took 2 weeks on average in the past, that gives some basis. So, I think the issue is about whether it is a routi

You don't need to make it that complicated. Happiness is just difference between what you expected and what you got. So a shepherd in Bhutan might expect to his goats to deliver 10 baby goats, but got 15. Then he is happy. Also, callin

These analogies are like fitting a curve to align with the data. Let the new data come in next year, the curve changes to fit that data as well. Any data can be curve-fitted and be seen as following some pattern. It is not that simple. You

It is more about the duality between the amplitude and frequency spaces and conversion between them. A bit similar to Hadamard gate for transforming a quantum state from computational basis to diagonal basis.

There are already a huge number of apps running on whatsapp in India for booking of cooking gas refill, car insurance renewal etc. Basically, user interaction is driven using chat until all inputs are captured. I think this is very effectiv

Ok. Let me ask differently. Why would I download and use LLVM for working with java code? Which usecases favor this?

Except for gaming, that doesn't sound like a huge market worthy of pouring millions into training these high-quality models. And there is a lot of competition too. I suspect there are some other deep-pocketed customers for these images

So obviously, demand is going up while supply is running short. Why is supply failing? Because it is similar as hardhat jobs, marine job, army, tradesman, construction, mining or farming work. People are no longer desperate to get into just
