I'm sorry, not only is this far from definitive, it's not even a sign of an 'early' exodus. There is not really any exodus, sadly. The US still is significantly more competitive and offers much higher upsides to talented

You are right and all these people replying to you are living in some kind of fantasy world. I forget what it's called, but there's this fallacy of ordinary people, that states that we attribute superhuman abilities to people far

Do you assume regular people spend time on EU portals reading legislation proposals?

I have to reply and say that this ain't so, for anyone reading this and thinking of picking Dickens up: it's worth it.

I agree, I would assume anonymity would allow for some honesty here, but I agree.

Interesting. Did they cite any reasons?

Thank you, I had no idea such games even existed.

A bit off topic, but would you share a few of your favorite board games? Thank you!

The replies in this thread are already very good. I'm a dad of two, but I won't add anything more than that you will be hard pressed to find a parent who will regret having children. I understand the bias in it, but people can be

As is the case with so many things, the person you're replying to will reply with what they can quantify about the experience, but there is much much more to it that is unquantifiable and hard to convey. It is the difference between &q

Care to share more about your pi setup? I've recently started using it (after long-time Claude Code work) and was wondering how you'd achieve these long-running tasks. Do you allow it to spawn sub-agents? Thank you!

Also interested.

This is very cool, congratulations!

This could probably be solved with a better keyboard

Could you share a bit more about this?

I've been doing this more and more over the past year, but I just write on plain white paper and throw it away after the stack on my desk gets too big. Like the author, I don't seem to ever need to read my old notes. Instead, it w

I work in Python as well and find Claude quite poor at writing proper tests, might be using it wrong. Just last week, I asked Opus to create a small integration test (with pre-existing examples) and it tried to create a 200-line file with 2

I think there's an unfinished journey whenever I hear such a story. Like someone who learns just enough about music that they "feel like" Bach is better than Taylor Swift, but then never move to the other side to use their ne

What makes an artificial mind greater than ours? Do you assume that someone will stumble into creating a person, but with unlimited memory and computational power? Otherwise, if we are able to create this person using our knowledge, we will

I mean, it all depends on how one defines "high quality context".

This never occurred to me, but it is a brilliant take.

can you say more? how do you do it?

by thunspa 1y ago
Or learning to actually code. I can't see why I would ever learn to use these kinds of tools. As a developer, I can just make it myself. Now with LLMs, if it's very simple and bounded, I can just vibe most of it with very little t

Saw Rich Hickey say this, that it is a known fact that tested code never has bugs. On a more serious note: how could anyone possibly ever write meaningful tests without a deep understanding of the code that is being written?

by thunspa 1y ago
Yes, this is what I'm fearing as well. That we will end up just trying to review code, writing tests and some kind of specifications in natural language (which is very imprecise) However, I can't see how this approach would ever s

In writing the code that is supposed to implement my idea, I find that my idea has many flaws. Sending that idea to an LLM (in absence of AGI) seems like a great way to find out about the flaws too late. Otherwise, specifying an application
