The textbook explanation for why Keynes' workweek prediction failed is that he failed to account for the shift to a service economy, which provides ample room for people to expand what they work on and what they spend on. The crisis wi

They are precisely like the each other because the investment is, in both cases, based on expectation of future value. The people investing in Tesla are the same people who invested Bitcoin. Robinhood is leading all price movement Tesla has

AI dungeon is like a bad dream the way it goes around doesn't get anywhere. Similar to all the conversations in the OP's story. It makes you realize even with an AI this good, we've got a way to go before it can really do t

It reminds me exactly of Dr. Sbaitso. The difference is, with Sbaitso you noticed after its second reply it was all non-sequitur stuff. With GPT-3 it's more verbose so it takes 3-4 replies that go in different directions to notice its

The auto-repair instructions would only be correct & useful in exactly the proportion that they are plagiary. The more creative it gets, the more useless or harmful the repair instructions would become. The examples we've seen demo

I think it comes down to the allure of spoken accents. Since the times of at least John Lennon's apologetically English elocution in the '60s, or perhaps Sinatra's brutish crooning decades earlier, popular music has been domi

There are circumstances where they are equivalent, but they're very different overall. Namely, if you use a service, you update it once and see the new behavior everywhere. If you use a shared library, you have to update and redeploy e

We do separate code repos, my last place did separate repos, place before that did monolith(s) but still did separate repos for anything not in the same monolith. I'm pretty sure it's more common to do separate repos, rather than

It all hinges on #2, "Consciousness experiences the reality in which it lives the longest" which is a straight-up mistaken understanding of quantum immortality. I feel embarrassed for the author. With QI, you have to actually die,

Control flow is not boilerplate, that's the application logic.

I strongly agree with this, but if are using an inversion of control pattern for your business logic vs. I/O, then interfaces are often needed to prevent circular references. If using multiple compilation modules, this becomes evident

Totally true, the whole reason half the popular programming languages exist is that their communities are overreacting to the bad/crazy things that happen in the other half of popular programming languages. Java and C++ communities hav

That was one of the central theses of David Graeber's famous "bullshit jobs" essay, which is now a book (haven't read yet.) Keynes et al. predicted declining work hours. Graeber says not only do most people barely work d

Sort of. It doesn't really sanity-check anything, ever. It's more of a blank slate and you have to build whatever rules you want into your software layer. The default mode is to index every field, so you can't get into the OP

The hardest part of joins is remembering which is which. Venn diagrams are used specifically because they solve that problem with the inner/outer/left/right terminology. His visualizations ultimately help nothing. You have to

Product-wise, I agree. Tech-wise, most of the high-scalability infrastructure, along with many big data (and machine learning) tools and practices are copied from Google. None of the other tech giants come close to the level of innovation o

So far the package manager hell has been kept in check because they keep re-doing everything in such a way that you don't intermingle it. So when you're on MVC5 you're on MVC5, and when you're on AspNetCore, you're

The way the author's 'scaffolding' idea should work is that you start but not using kubernetes at all, rather than using a easier version of it. Of course, 'not using it' already exists.. But what doesn't exist

I disagree that Go isn't like that at all. On that contrary, that's exactly how I'd describe it. It's the jankiest language after PHP. I think people coming to Go are coming from at least 3-4 different angles and it dict
