Who cares? It simply doesn't matter. The author stands behind the work.
Charging infrastructure is blossoming. It is funded by private companies. Roadtripping in an EV is pretty seamless now. I'm driving to Death Valley in a couple of weeks. Plenty of charging options along the way.
*Everything*??? A bit hyperbolic don't you think? I'm quite happy with the state of a lot of software. There is some which I don't like so much.
Wow. This is the exact opposite of what that the site is. It is very clear that the author of the web site cares deeply about the material and has put a lot of effort into the work. You are letting your personal biases…
You don't need a 40 minute change. My Ioniq 5 will go from 30% to 85% in 20 minutes. On road trips I'm usually in and out in about 15 minutes which is aligned with my stop time with my ICE car. Why would you limit…
Do you farm your own food, generate your own electricity, or process your own sewage? There are others in society who are picking your slack in these areas. That's was the commenter meant.
It seems like everyone presumes that the currently proofs which are difficult to parse will stay that way. LLMs are really good with language. There's no reason that the next wave of proofs won't be accompanied by very…
My Macs run cool and silently. I've never observed a background "AI" process consuming resources.
Do you? Most of the software layoffs had to do with higher interest rates and changes to R&D tax policy. AI isn't the major factor.
Do you write much code? Do you design software? It sounds like you don't. The challenge with software is managing complexity. This is unique to this field. Mathematicians are humans.
The author mixes "Science" and "Mathematics". Mathematics is not a science. There is nothing empirical about it. By mixing the two concepts, a reader might think that AI is on the verge of solving all of science. Until…
I think the poster is distinguishing between currently practical and ever practical. Galactic algorithms can never be realized.
Very few tools are deterministic in the way you describe. A hand saw without a guide is very non-deterministic. A drill not in a drill press is not deterministic. A hand shovel is chaotic. You never know what you are…
I think the author learned a lot in the process. It exactly served the purpose of diving down rabbit holes.
Don't think you can be a mature developer unless you can fluently read code. I tell everyone learning to code that reading code is equally important. In our world of AI tools reading code is turning out to be a key…
Very few working developers "reason" about their code. We are just trying to build things.
Yes, but you job is to know the difference.
This seems like a highly romanticized retelling of the origin story. LLMs would have more likely made that 5 years into 5 months. LLMs are excellent at accelerating work where you don't know exactly what you are after.
Computer Science isn't the field you look to for "novel abstractions that no one has thought of before". The vast majority of CS concepts were settled over 50 years ago. I've never encountered someone who has generated…
The "replacement of an American" is where the narrative breaks down. Traditionally we haven't had large numbers of unemployed developers. One of the consequences of the the Dot Com bubble bursting is we lost an entire…
Because people have lives to get on with. People need to use computers. People have better things to do with their time than spend weekends learning about the details of internet security. It is an elitist position to…
Not really. When I spend time in rural areas I see bar codes and QR codes are used everywhere. All this does is allow for the option for a business to put their barcode into your phone rather than having to carry around…
I don't think such a market for "human code" will emerge except in narrow art circles. That will not be code that people run for useful purposes. The fact is that humans have never been good a writing code. The…
You are presuming that you will need to retrain for a new job. Why do you think that?
Early automobiles were very simple machines. I you knew how to repair a carriage or a wagon, you were pretty close to being able to work on an early automobile. You should check them out.
