Philosophical speaking, I wonder what the folks will think of our theories of light, time and space in the not too distant future. Much as the flat earth theories or the universe rotates around the earth, I suspect we don’t really get it ye

What blows my mind is that 20 million light years also means that what we're observing something that happened 20 million years ago . We're looking into the very distant past, at something that might well no longer exist. Turn th

The new Moore’s Law? Every X months a new complexity level is reached. Or perhaps AGI is reached and suddenly AI solves this all by itself.

It will be interesting to see what happens when human developers become cheaper than token maxxing AIs. Interesting because by then codebases might have become so complex that these can no longer be modified, maintained nor understood by hu

Hm “Bullshit Jobs” terminology by David Graeber seems appropriate here. Of course, “produce value” is slightly different from meaningful jobs that Bullshit Jobs was referring to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_J

Why do we need humans in the loop, what exactly can’t be replaced by an AI in your workflow? It sounds like having another AI telling the first AI not to “drift” away from the fundamentals would do the trick? Does this activity require some

That’s at least a choice. The USA has a choice between two parties - democrat or republican. China only has one party, Russian has (in principle) one party and North Korea only has one dictator. So if these places got a second party or dict

Art is a word, Craft is a word, this line is a sentence, and the whole text is a paragraph. Does any of it really matter? A Urinal[1] can be Art. A collection of programs[2] can be Art. Why? Because we define it as such. Art isn't clea
