"Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence that matches or surpasses human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks."
AGI is when it can do all intellectual work that can be done by humans. It can improve its own intelligence and create a feedback loop because it is as smart as the humans who created it.
I have ~50k/year of passive income. I'm definitely not in the same class as people with ~50mil/year passive income.
"const input$ = sources.DOM.select('.field').events('input')" Is there a switchMap in here? What happens if the input element is removed/inserted back into the DOM? "input('.field', {attrs: {type: 'text'}})," It's…
This is why I think it's crucial to find a good engineering manager. He or she takes care of the politics for you and makes sure you're properly rewarded for your work. It lets you keep your head down and focus on tech.…
Somebody's investment doing well isn't a reason to penalize them. Lots of things have had way higher returns than single family homes.
>all savings of people who don't invest in cryptocurrencies are worthless, that fear may be driving a lot of the ICO speculation. There are lots of ways to invest your money that aren't based on the dollar. Futures,…
Yes, but all the systems put in place to shield fiat from the booms and busts don't exist in crypto. For example, the federal reserve and legislators can manipulate the interest rates and the deficit to encourage people…
> "A house in San Francisco used to cost at $100k, now it costs $1000k. What happened was a massive influx of new people to San Francisco." Seems pretty reasonable to me.
I think it's more common among the very wealthy. When part of the appeal is flaunting your wealth, renting is probably not the way to go. I think a 1000k 1 bed condo is comparable to a 200k car in that it isn't just a…
It's not like driving the wrong direction. Lets say you build 3 systems and only one gets used. You are still getting 3x the experience and your revelations could end up being very valuable for the system that does get…
UBI avoids the step function where there is no (economic) incentive up until the "income floor". Policies like UBI could ally people (politically) of low to mid income.
That list is actually making fun of what you're describing in the JS community. "Not Awesome" is a play on the "Awesome" lists like this [https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome] JS classes were extremely hyped up a…
There's a lot of reasons against classes in JS. This list has a lot of articles. https://github.com/joshburgess/not-awesome-es6-classes A common point seems to be against the brittleness caused by inheritance (including…
When a important engineer leaves, sometimes a lot more end up following. Or at least their team members more open to looking at other offers.
JS has been focused on event handling types of problems while python and perl were used for many other types of problems. You can build a GUI with R, but it wasn't made for it.
I don't doubt that you can. But in a lot of situations, as long as the slow stuff like db queries and api calls don't block, it's good enough. And that's easier to accomplish in JS.
Ok, then backend folks just do API integrations and database guys just make tables, no real technical challenges anywhere. Anybody getting stuff done is pasting together libraries.
Learning how to write good code takes much longer than just writing crappy code.
