It is widely accepted that you can get better performance with c++ far easier than C. Outside of custom rolling assembly , a large aspect of performance tuning is compile time optimization, which is extremely non trivial in C, while being supported in language with C++. All the things people associate with C performance can be done in C++, the converse is not true

What is “both sides” about that article?

The SAT doesn’t test course material. It is literally just applying middle school math and English proficiency.

It aligns incentives to reduce crunch as much as is feasible

What is the intended purpose of giving a generic notice like this to employees? Are they suppose to compete for job security or start interviewing elsewhere?

We already have data on one of those…

Pragmatically, the main reason that has been true throughout all of history is that women are more valuable reproductively. A country can lose half its men in a war and still recover. The same is not true if it loses half its women.

Physicality. You don’t even own digital games, let alone cosmetics for your digital game license.

Multiple projects at once or at least multiple features. I am usually the limiting factor reviewing, not waiting on agents

I think those conversations occur due to changes in timeline of deliverables or certainty of result, would that not be an implementation detail?

For what it’s worth, I’ve fallen into the trap of building an “ideal” system that I don’t use. Whether that’s a personal knowledge db , automations for tracking habits, etc.

The thing I’ve learned is for a new habit, it should have really really minimal maintenance and minimal new skill sets above the actual habit. Start with pen and paper, and make small optimizations over time. Only once you have engrained the habit of doing the thing, should you worry about optimizing it

I'm sure there is an association between personality traits {openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism} with preferences to specialize or learn broadly. That is seperate from the phenomena of nearly all cognitive tasks being correlated with each other positively, e.g. verbal scores are positively correlated with math and musical scores. This is referred to as g-factor in literature.

My overall point being, yes people learn differently, but it is also true that there exists outliers in general intelligence

That is a very idealistic perspective. There are certainly fast learners due to the fact they are faster at cross domain synthesis.

You still need 2 deviations above the average college student to get to med school. As a rough proxy for intelligence. The bottom threshold for doctors is certainly higher than lawyers

simulink is the matlab moat ,not just general math expression

The memories are the moat. Regardless of the current or future capability, most users already view chatgpt as a personal confidant that they are investing energy into building a relationship with. That will be a far stronger moat than anything else

maybe not direct automation, but ask-respond loop of your HA data. How are you optimizing your electricity, heating/cooling with respect to local rates, etc
