That's a good point. It's just kind of surprising, there's been a lot of incremental progress towards rendering and simulation for a long time. If you'd asked 10 years ago if we'd have AGI or realistic realtime rend

Another interesting discrepancy is that people think current GPUs are maybe capable of running AGI but they still can barely manage photorealistic rendering of a single room in realtime, or simulate something like a shirt thrown into a pile

The other challenge with real people is the emotional aspect. Easier and faster to tell ai the code it wrote is terrible and needs to be redone completely, or maybe you just end the session and use a new model. Trickier to do with a human.

I don’t have a lot of experience related to this so I’m just noting some things. Some people in this thread don’t seem to think it’s that hard or overcomplicated. When reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications my main takeaway was that

Can you elaborate on 4 a bit, are you saying to always use event sourcing, or something like it?

Breaking and entering is to immigrating as pickpocketing is to taking my stuff. Sometimes immigration is legal. Sometimes taking my stuff is legal. There’s often overlap between legality and what people support or oppose, but not always. “I

An alternative chain of events might be one where OpenAI, Inc. only operated through income and donations, which would probably lead to them scaling more slowly. They could also take on loans. Having thought about this whole thing more I be

The interested parties would be taxpayers. I think some groups are trying to look into it. The issue is that they did R&D as a charity, donations to which are tax deductible, there may also be other benefits to being a charity during R&

Aside from the disagreements between these parties, what about the precedent of running a non-profit, and then transferring all IP to a for profit when it’s convenient to do so? I wonder if the government or taxpayers have a case to bring r

The anti piracy stance would be making it illegal for a surgeon/person to copy the procedure another surgeon invented without payment. Copying does not require additional labor from the inventor. Obviously we would like the inventor of

Tesla was built on American R&D and manufacturing and is competitive in terms of cost and features. It’s probably easier to not innovate and go for almost guaranteed short term profit by relocating existing manufacturing processes thoug

This kind of specialization can be bad for factory workers as well. Doing the same motion over and over can lead to repetitive stress injury. I think it's true for any worker that performing the same activity over and over can lead to

That’s an interesting point, I do often hear about being near a rail line as being a benefit for property values, but you don’t usually hear the same thing about being near an airport. Although this might partially be because a rail line is

I would have thought this as well. Looking at a trip from Fukuoka to Tokyo though. Shinkansen takes 5 hours and costs about $200. An economy flight is around $50 and takes less than 2 hours, although it’s possible there’s a lot more overhea

I’ve never thought much about it, always consider it’s just a percentage. I am in Canada but it’s pretty much the same. Googling “tipping buy one get one” turns up this snippet from a Quora answer: > The amount of effort the server devot

They calculate tips after fees and before discounts, so customers are tricked into tipping more. First noticed this after getting a buy one get one free deal and seeing a tip calculated at 2X what I'd expect

What should Prettier should do in this case? I think we can all agree there should be a line length limit, it has to enforce it eventually. You could say “it’s just a couple more characters” until the line is 200 characters long. Semantic d

I was with you until you said “make me Facebook for dogs”. I think a sufficiently pattern recognizing AI could probably make a somewhat useful/accurate application from that prompt, because most social media apps follow a set of patter

I usually tend to do the refactoring without asking permission. Just spend 20% of my time on it, get it done, definitely pays off. I tend to be pretty productive generally and with this refactoring I'm not doing something like saying &

IMO TypeScript nudges you away from bad patterns. If it’s a mess to type it, it’s probably a mess in general. If you are in a very rare situation and think you know better then there’s “any”, although at that point you really need to think

I tend to jump to the opposite conclusion. If a name is cute I assume it’s something open source, named for marketing or SEO. If a name is descriptive I assume it’s probably internal.

Agree. If possible the documentation should live in / be generated from the code as well. I'm not checking confluence, write it in a ".md" file in the repo if you want me to see it.

This is a good one. Also think about how confident you are you aren't breaking anything with your new feature, and how confident you would be that the next person won't break your feature.

I think the best case scenario here is something like the iPhone, yes the Androids did come, but they took a long time to catch up (some would say they still haven't), and owning the platform is very lucrative. It's about being th
