Can you just make a blog post on this explaining your thesis in detail? It's hard for me not to see non-technical "vibe coding" [0] sidelining everyone in the industry except for the most senior of senior devs/PMs. [0]

When I say 10 years I say that I've probably wanted to work in this field since maybe 10. Computing is my autistic hyperfixation. This is why I'm so frustrated.

I think what's missing is that the amount of training data to effectively RL usually decreases over time. AlphaGo needed some initial data on good games of Go to then recursively improve via RL. Fast forward a few years, and AlphaZero

I would love to make "side revenue", but frankly I am awful at practical idea generation. I'm not a founder type I think, maybe a technical co-founder I guess.

Not enough resources to get another bachelors, and a masters is probably practically worthless for a pivot. I would have to throw away the past 10 years of my life, start from scratch, with zero ideas for any real skill-developing projects

Serious question: What advice would you give to a Computer Science student in light of these tools?

by throw83288 2y ago
What do you even do then as a student? I've asked this dozens of times with zero practical answers at all. Frankly I've become entirely numb to it all.

This smells like AI.

Cursor Composer is a game-changer for greenfield projects, it's definitely not 3% change.

So excited to engage the core on our future exciting product developments as a team!

I think the problem is that from our human scale, mass-killings is the "best" method to eliminate the possibility of another organism causing harm for us. Hypothetically, if there was a more optimal (i.e less costly) method like j

The only thing I think that makes my resume as a student appealing is having real-world projects that show I can meaningfully develop. I'd need similar for GenAI, I'd imagine.

As far as I've heard, MBAs have also become completely saturated as well. Out of the frying pan into the fire. I get you're trying to be "consoling", but frankly the bajillion pivot ideas, hopium arguments, endless count

I'm not trying to express that, it's that I can't find many meaningful projects with them.

by throw83288 2y ago
I want to build but I don't know what. The ideas don't appear. This is what I've been trying to express.

by throw83288 2y ago
I guess I'm just confused now. I can't do technical since that's too commodified, but I can't do business since I'm a youngster with no real world experience.
17.
by throw83288 2y ago
I see now. You mean real business stuff. At that point I may as well do a startup.
18.
by throw83288 2y ago
Hmm. I maintain a pretty big open-source project, so I guess I'm already kinda that? I honestly love computing moreso than I love coding. I'm not very familiar with business concepts though.

Apparently OpenAI's Deep Research already saturated a quarter of this benchmark, more or less a month in. But I also imagine it makes baffling mistakes anyway. "Humanity's Last er Exam" coming up when?

I agree with you. I just don't know what to do anymore.
22.
by throw83288 2y ago
So what do you even do then? I'm completely at a loss now.
23.
by throw83288 2y ago
I want to learn, but I can't display that I learned them. You know the whole thing where real projects are more valuable than simply "I did a tutorial"? I struggle to find ways to apply LLMs practically beyond like one projec

Honestly I think moving up in a layer of abstraction is not the same as something resembling an intelligent agent.
25.
by throw83288 2y ago
I guess... I maintain a big open-source project by myself, I assume that kind of points to self-directedness. I guess on a career level it's discouraging since a student isn't seen as self-directed, and to go the startup route req

I dunno, a job? I don't think one other person's idea is enough. > ideas are everywhere, they are cheap. the idea plus the execution, timing, marketing, and approach are all factors in something being successful And water is ev

by throw83288 2y ago
But not everyone is "agentic". I am maybe ambitious and self-directed, but not really curious. I can work on other's ideas, perhaps be curious within the bounds of that space, but I myself struggle to get any meaningful inter

Your logic works for seniors, but honestly I'm unsure how it works for anybody that just wants to break in.
29.
by throw83288 2y ago
It's not knowledge but applications of knowledge to actually work in the field. I don't know how to meaningfully make the applications to succeed.

So Work=0.1^Ct where C is the development pace. Everything points to the C of AI being large. How quickly does Work become a rounding error? Sure, C=log(t), but it could also be C=ke^t. Everything to me feels like it's the latter, I re
