And whether or not it actually is feasible, many are betting millions that it is, and marketing it as possible to keep the innovation machine running until we achieve it
> ... I always say about [a language model], the [linguistic] appearance makes a promise about what it can do. [Clippy] was this little [cartoon paper clip]. It didn’t promise much—you saw it and thought, that’s not…
piggybacking on everything you said, which is all true: Code is not a science, despite what pedants would have you believe. The annoying answer to "what's correct" code is, "it depends." Code is just a tool used to…
why do you need to debug it? or, why do you need to debug it? my crazy thoughts, which I am open to being wrong about: this is still the old way of thinking. generative AI is a probability function—the results exist in…
I guess a lot of us are trying this (naturally) as solo devs, where we can take an engineering-first mindset and build a machine or factory that spits out gizmos. I haven't gotten to the finish line, mostly because for…
to build on your point, we only need to look at another type of entity that has a binary reward system and is inherently amoral: the corporation. Though it has many of the same rights as a human (in the US), the…
What we still get paid to do is different than what we're still able to do. I'm still able to knit a sweater if I find it enjoyable. Some folks can even do it for a living (but maybe not a living wage)
This presupposes that human value only exists in the things current AI tech can replace—pattern recognition/creation. I'd wager the same argument was made when hand-crafted things were being replaced with industrialized…

And honestly, that's a ridiculous claim. Two very popular websites I can think of right away are Pinterest and VSCO. (Perhaps VSCO on the web isn't as popular as the mobile app, but the company continues to use masonry…
I imagine it's because whomever created it is a web developer, primarily.
Putting aside mental illness, what makes a person a criminal? What circumstances led to their decision? Sure, protect the shift worker who has little power and therefore little blame. But, who's to blame for society's…
That's been my critique of Garry's outspokenness from Day 1. Nowhere is there ownership of what caused SF to devolve into this state in the first place. Tech companies aren't entirely to blame, but they've had a pretty…
Well, 1) we have no idea how long it took to develop SimAirport. I'd be curious to know! And 2) Rollercoaster Tycoon IS an aberration, since it was written in Assembly by one person!
That sounds reasonable! To be clear, though: In my old example, there would only be DOM manipulation on drag start and drag end. All interactions between are handled with JS and CSS. Cheers.
What's going on w/ CO2 off the coast of NJ, algae bloom or something?
Not defending the original comment because no source was provided, but I didn't know this was up for debate. It stands to reason. Now, how much more unvax vs vax are dying could be debated, but to say they are dying at…
Isn't that what they said? Less severe, more widespread.
"Sick" is not a binary state

I think that is largely true for my personal experience, however, the timbre of the sound also affects the color for me.
Interesting. I do think some of my forms of synesthesia are from colors in my childhood, but not my sound-color experience.
It seems to me that there is something about American culture that is inherently right-leaning. The "left" struggles to gain any traction because they ultimately fail at marketing their ideas to the average American, to…
I used to listen to Rogan quite regularly. I think he's funny (on occasion) and is truly inquisitive (when he wants to be) and is a good interviewer of experts for the every-man. (That said, I personally never enjoyed…
"How many times you got the API wrong"? I get the concept, and maybe it's correct some of the time... but it ignores the vast majority of software releases over time, which are evolved products/projects. What I…
