Better in which way? It doesn't seem like the RNG is much of a bottleneck[0]. So this code is just more complicated than the original[1] IMO. It is also most likely more costly by involving a bunch of extra divs, logs…
And in Sweden, another "nordic socialist country", there's no tax on property nor inheritance, as well as very low taxes on invested capital. There are about 1.5x more USD-billionaires per capita in Sweden than in the…
You mean I can't sue society if I die nine years into retirement?
> are predicted to get to what 90-95 on average? That may be true, but will we (who are in our 40's now) have the same quality of life at 90-95 as a now 75-year old will have at 80-85?
Of course there is no guarantee that your 65-75 years will be good, but it's a lot more likely that your 65-75 years will be good than your 75-85 years.
Well, people in offices need new shiny phones every year and new Teslas to get to the office after all...
I really wish people would stop talking about MD5 already. It is almost never the answer. On a modern CPU you get HW accelerated SHA-256, it will always be much faster than your best software MD5. If your SHA-256 hash…
Last I used it, even pretty small grammars took forever to build. I had to be very diligent not to let the grammar cpp-file depend on anything else in my codebase.
If you for instance work with software developers, true vulnerability shows at a code review not at a occasional game of soccer or similar. Few software developers identify themselves as great soccer players so it's not…
Also consistently forgetting the 15 times larger population.
As I've said countless times in other comments, this is not a shallow job security issue. My post is about how I believe AI will change us as people and society in a much more fundamental way than we may think. In ways…
No, I don't think it is simple. In fact I think it is impossible. Just looking at the division in this thread tells me that there will never even be an agreement for taking such a stand much less follow through.
> AI does not make stuff like this go away. It actually frees more people to become these imbue-ers of meaning, if they are so inclined. Yeah, but in that very example I feel the value and narrative behind it is in the…
Of course it's an absurd argument but my point is that in a fully automated world in abundance we will have 10 billion tourists. Also I like to differ between performing and creating. For instance playing the piano…
Yeah, but it's only possible because we, the software engineers, make it so. We could as a collective refuse to work on AI but we won't because it's a pretty, shiny, object with far too much lure for us to resist.
Thanks for this optimistic post and to be clear I don't expect alphacode to put me out of a job. I've seen the hilarious examples where people get ChatGPT to for instance claim that abacus-based computing is faster than…
> Our society currently affords ample opportunity to "productively" avoid those questions. I fully agree. > Some people already have answers to those questions, and stand to gain from that toil being removed. I used to…
Thank you for the ad hominem attack. It's always a pleasure to discuss things with people who like to jump to conclusions and assume things about people they don't know anything about. Personally I prefer not to pass…
These are all good options of course, still with the lack of creative things, it might not be enough for all people.
The problem is that those people you are talking about already are the first victims of automation. They have to work two jobs because just one doesn't pay enough when a company can automate it cheaper. The road ahead…
This! Perfectly stated!
I feel many people are just reading the first paragraph of my post and reacting to that, my point is further down in my original post. Still to reply to your comment: Sure, in the short term that is true, but I'm…
You misinterpret, I'm not worried about my job. I wouldn't mind working less but I'm worried that sooner than we think we will be reduced to pure consumers (we're already pretty far ahead in that respect) and then life…
We software engineers have to be the stupidest "smart" people on the planet. No other occupations work so hard to destroy entire businesses including our own. I get it, I'm a software engineer who loves automation. "But…
The other day I saw someone, who by asking ChatGPT a series of questions, had it carefully explain why abacus-based computing was more efficient than GPU-based computing. It's not your google replacement yet...
