What if we implement them but hide them deep in the settings or as experimental feature inside the hidden developer menu, behind multiple warning messages and password prompts? Only the very determined developers and advanced users would be able to unlock them. Then it's safe enough?
> The publicly traded miners have been adapting by diversifying into AI and high-performance computing, which offer more predictable revenue than mining bitcoin at a loss. Marathon Digital, Cipher Mining, and others have been building out data center capacity alongside their mining operations.
Yes, it does but lacks depth, the problem here is they are diversifying not pivoting and by virtue of game theory for each miner they stand to win on others exit, as the mining difficulty goes down, but this is creating a loss-loss situation.
Isn't AI the new hot thing, why are the miners still going after Bitcoin, when they can probably just use the same infra for AI and make more money, stay profitable.
That "Bam!" thing just brought Josh Starmer to mind. Anyone remember his book with the illustrated ML stuff? I used to watch his YouTube channel too. I really dig these kinds of explainers; they make learning so much more fun.
I agree to some extent, the average coders/programmers will definitely have a hard time finding jobs, but maybe they will start their own businesses instead.
We think of SQL as a high level language, an abstraction. We need to think about Code with LLMs similar to that as I still find LLMs to not be able to be completely autonomous at present.
There will be the need to debug understand the underlying execution at a low level just like in SQL or any other high level language.
There will be a requirement for humans to find better ways than LLMs and sometimes we might find frugal and ingenious ways to do stuff for which LLMs had taken the average solutions found in their datasets.
One of the 3 I's of innovation is iteration, if we call iterating innovation as building knockoffs then we might as well dismiss all other successful products that were iterations.
I completely agree, LibreOffice feels really complete these days and for the most of my needs it works well. The only concern I have is when I send it to someone who might not be using LibreOffice but say MS 365, is it still going to display what I had built and the way I had intended.
It was inevitable, someone had to do it and I don't understand the awful fact that the West still lives in a bubble where it thinks that they are the only source of innovation in this world. There's a lot of innovation going on in the rest of the world too.
>Are they abandoning their dreams—and does that matter?
It definitely matters, ask any developing nation about the brain drain and you know the reasons why individuals do it, it's a net gain for them but a loss for their nation. Now take all those reasoning and apply to the brain drain within disciplines and domains. All disciplines and domains are important and need significant contribution to continuously innovate.
Even at an individual scale people should do what they like/or are naturally good at, only then they will be able to do great work.
> "Forming groups did not expand the cognitive abilities of humans. The famous ‘wisdom of the crowd’ that’s become so popular in the age of social networks didn’t come to the fore in our experiments"
If it were true wouldn't all democratic societies be in danger. Our whole society is based off the wisdom of the crowds.
This video if it was a scientific paper I would have visualised absolutely nothing. I don't know that if we can submit/embed animations instead of PDFs for university classroom work/ scientific papers, because that's really much better than having to read papers/PDFs that is so incomplete without the right imagination/visualization of the problem. The last time I was giving a mock seminar in my university using a GIF to explain the RRT algorithm I was warned to not use animations in presentations . . . I mean either it was really not that helpful to visualise the solution or it has to do something with age old standards that needs to be revised. I mean figures can only do 3 or 4 frames isn't more frames better.
Unless you are now involved in a lawsuit that asks for a hypothetical 50% of your income for using a tech very similar to their and they speculate its been stolen and not permitted by their license and even if you know you are going to win/or that it doesn't affect you still have to spend money on the lawyers fighting it.
If Python really can be seen as community that thinks very similarly and has similar opinions and expecting the pythonic ways to write code and logic and having like one right way to do stuff, then his really makes it a cult where everyone is expected to be the same.
Have you considered a section/tab where people who came up with similar ideas and put them online can be aggregated from across social media websites/blogs. Will help bring similar minded people to band together. Although I think all these can be done via Google already with a little bit of effort, this search engine should make it effortless.
It's true and horrifying at the same time. I find similar disregard to customers in other traditional innovations as well like credit cards and their rewards, not at all beneficial to the average user, similarly insurance products that keep finding ways to increase your premium with add-ons and riders in every unimaginably creative ways that doesn't serve the customer any value just confuses people and prompts them to hire advisors and pay them. Take the microwave ovens and refrigerators with full on PCs with WiFi inside them serving nothing useful just more mild convenience I suppose and more price. And take Software like windows, that keeps pushing higher hardware requirements forcing users to upgrade hardware and its just everywhere in our lives not just the internet now. Take tax filing portals, Real estate agents and many other domains where you will find similar wrongdoing. The Internet is just the part of our lives that we spend so much time these days that it's seems to be just out there.
