Just because models are getting better, that doesn't mean we're getting to AGI anytime soon. It will likely require more than just 'a better model' to get to AGI, and it might not even be fully possible. That being said,

I stated she had a day job making pretty good money. That's not a stay at home wife. Also didn't say they don't need to compromise, obviously having children requires compromises to be made in your life, there's no way y

Lately I've been playing a lot of cooperative games with a lot of clever card play, often against some sort of boss or some other win/loss condition, and usually it needs a lot of expansions so I can keep trying new combinations o

> why must we choose between having a great career and being a great parent. Why is it a zero-sum game? I had basically this exact conversation with a close family member, who sees having children as being forced to give up on her dreams

I don't keep up with it anymore. It used to be a 3+ times daily habit, now it's mainly just when I think about it (which could be several days, or more), and I barely check more than a couple of threads now and then move on, usual

Creatives have always found inspiration from what they consume (AI has nothing to do with it). My partner writes, and eventually gets to the point where she has to take a break from plotting and writing and watch tv shows or read books. Whe

I have done exactly that before with a company, but they hadn't ghosted me. But this is about them ghosting you. So presumably even if you ask them this they don't get back to you, otherwise they're not ghosting you.

You could be waiting to hear back from one company before telling another company that may have extended an offer yes or no, and it can take a while before you determine if you're ghosted or if they're just busy and haven't m

Maybe there's a bit more to a company and its software than the quantity of code it generates? And maybe there's a built in moat that a lot of these companies have that takes a lot of effort (and marketing, etc) to overcome? Peopl

The worst that's happened, that I'm aware of, is I made a change with A.I. that I didn't realize broke something else (that I wasn't even aware our reports supported, it was new to me), and apparently QA didn't thin

My Yahoo Mail had all my emails from when I was in college on it (back when people used to chat with each other via email, also AIM). I still used it sometimes for collecting junk mail and as a backup address for my gmail, or to reread a fe

There are older structures and artifacts than 250 years, they're just not European in origin. Like Cahokia Mounds in Illinois: https://cahokiamounds.org/ Arrowheads are an example of something that's not too diffi

I've been a software nerd all my life (and there was a time where I worked 60 hours a week at a startup working hard to make mobile games), but there's just been so much extra crap associated with it (especially web development, a

I would. I don't sell on eBay because it's a hassle to manage all the rest of it. So I end up taking it to a place like Half-Price Books instead and get hardly anything, but at least it gets out of the house. 30-40% cut would be a

Yeah I work from home. Except for 1-2 short zoom calls a day or talking with my wife, who also works from home, I can go pretty much the whole week without talking to anyone. I try to make sure I go out with friends at least once on the wee

The defensive code is getting to me (it's adding a ton of bloat) and I'm trying to fight it but I'm not sure how best to word it. What I've attempted hasn't worked too well so far. How do you get it to not add so mu

Personally, I prefer Claude for coding, but I still prefer ChatGPT for hashing out ideas for my projects (which tend to be game designs). So I use both.
