"it’s reflecting on the good old days as though it happened thousands of years ago."

Internet time is different than real time

It's crazy how slack big tech is. For companies who have such a grueling application process you'd think they'd have more to show for it. disappointing.

I think when companies become a 'necessity' like this, they have to be regulated or broken up. I'm not a big fan of Apple taking a commission if you port an app to their phone and I loathe the idea of having to use iCloud if I want to use Apple Pay, in fact, can't stand the idea of a phone company being my credit card company/bank either.

And don't get me started on non standard USB...what was that? I applaud the EU stepping in and quite frankly i'm looking forward to Apple being broken up. It's that time.

I've been using Python since 2.x and I have to admit which each new release I toy with leaving this language behind. Type hints are the latest warts in what should have been a beautiful language. I tend to agree with Charles Lesleifer and others here. Python3 is a mess. https://charlesleifer.com/blog/what-happened/

Wipe out America and another imperialists take it's place. That's not the answer. Hookey as it sounds living in harmony with nature, recycling, reusing and resource management are what's best.

They're shrinking globally. https://www.sciencealert.com/birth-rates-are-plummeting-in-m...

That said, the world will probably be black by 2200. Makes sense.

"Emancipation of women and free education for girls worldwide. Raising the standard of living in poor countries."

Yup, let's push our ideology on other countries because the west is white is right.

We won't go into the impact certain gender equivalent movements have had on the world.

"By very far the threat to humanity is global warming, not resource depletion."

One begets the other...from either direction.

What's interesting is this could make areas like AI - that are already dirty and environmentally harmful - even worse. If we don't have a clean source of energy to power the data centers. Concerning.

I think I read or heard somewhere awhile ago that water will be the new oil of the future, and wars will be fought over it.

The answers to my problems come when I'm sitting on the throne. The amount of solutions I've come up with....

I think the "intent" to evolution is reproduction. Thus, it makes sense to look at these traits as chosen or adaptive to further this cause. Everything is based on reproducing a species, it's the only reason we know now of even the purpose of life. Everything else is superfluous or constructs towards that purpose. So yes, apparently there is intent to evolution. To live and produce offspring. Otherwise why are we so afraid to die and fight to live.

I think the government for the most part, needs to get out of social media and treat them like TV of old.

The idea is that TV is just a medium. You can post any commercial or information you want on there and it should be up to the viewer to discern what they want to watch and believe.

Look for example at some of the drug commercials, or if you want to get nitty gritty, look at fast food commercials that have carcinogenic ingredients. This is a slippery slope and I sincerely believe it should be the responsibility of the parent, guardian or mature individual to decide what and when and where to watch content.

I'll allow it. Then we can rewrite it in C but better this time. I really don't see too much of the problem with Coding in C. You just have to be little more mindful. With great power....

When you save something for example to a folder. Is the save icon coloured or not? This is isn't rocket science. It should show it's current state.

" Engineers specializing in machine learning continue to command a salary premium in the job market over standard software engineers"

I still haven't really seen this. Data Scientist still seem to make about the same as an experienced Backend Engineer.

I hear what you're saying, and actually agree that - unfortunately - is the current state of LLMs today. But I think OP still has a point, and I'd argue as well that that is the aim of GAI, to be able to take a simple question, understand and produce the desired results.

As it stands, and as you mentioned, the current generation of LLMS seem a long way from there. Thus the need for prompt engineers. It'll be nice to see how long they take to crack this problem.
