Well some of that is because JWST's images are actually lower resolution than Hubble in many cases (depending on the wavelength). Though at wavelengths they both operate in, Webb's will of course be much higher resolution.
Yeah I'm an AI maximalist and I don't see AI "management" in a 1:1 fashion happening.

However I can see some orthogonal scenario where an "AI" run company - whatever that means in the future - manages a bunch of contracts as a middleman/market maker, thus obviating middle management altogether and making it a world of freelancers.

So it could go that way...

Using Games to Develop Empathy
Doubtful. I had severe mental trauma happen to me when I was 19 and I basically become an emotional wreck who played video games until I was 26 or so. It was just a way to avoid confronting my issues and I became an exceptionally good World of Warcraft player. I hate that I wasted so much of my prime years “self medicating” with video games. It wasn’t until I quit World of Warcraft that I met my wife (maybe a week after!)

I wish I’d gone to therapy or done literally anything else. It took years for me to finally feel disgusted enough with myself to make any sort of change and I was a wreck when I did. I’d barely improved at all, if not gotten worse than I was when I got emotionally messed up at 19.

Probably not the name you're looking for, but I typically talk about this stuff in terms of local and global maxima. Low-risk optimisation efforts typically get trapped on some local maximum over time, while bold efforts get closer to the global one - the minority that doesn't fail, that is. Applies to build vs buy decisions and business in general quite nicely.

From what I've seen, businesses and projects usually become less risk averse the more established they are - they are economically incentivised towards that.

The silver lining for me is that there is always room for disruptors in this scenario.
Too technical.

They serve websites to browsers for people to view. This file (be it properly formatted .html or .txt) is not a website people go to in their browser - its used internally by an application. This is the key point.
1.) You're talking about a nested comment on a hacker news post. A little perspective is helpful.

2.) You are making grandiose and uncharitable assumptions about the interpretations of things other people said, e.g. equating not having the words to to describe something to implying that we should give up trying to understand it more.

3.) Having a physical definition for every term in an equation does not mean the resulting behavior/phenomenon can be conceptually explained with words. Can you conceptually explain what "spin" is for an electron?

I imagine this as an Emacs package that recognizes tree-like code patterns (like what he showed in the video) and replaces those patterns inline when you toggle it. Your code is still the same plaintext. But your editor can display chunks of it as graphs.

Emacs does this already in latex-mode and org-mode for math formulas.[1] It shouldn't be a stretch to do this for other types of code, too.

How will AI figure out how to properly mill a part to spec knowing that failures will end the contract?

How will AI know the particular workarounds in the way laborers deal with ad-hoc problems in picking strawberries?

The answer to these questions and questions like them is: they won't. AI cannot deal with problems of physical presence, and the reason that AI will replace white collar workers is not because AI is particularly sophisticated, but because white collar management is particularly dumb.

AI will provide the role that the drinking bird provided for Homer Simpson. The cognitive dissonance in this scenario is believing that either management or white collar roles are advanced, when the opposite is true.

Natural fire is incompatible with houses built with sticks. Either you figure out how to build fireproof houses, or you manage the forests in the Wildland-urban interface [0].

> Actively managed forests sound good, but be rational.

It can work. The U.S. Forest Service does a pretty good job of managing the forests around my part of Northern Arizona. 20 years ago a fire got out of control and we lost a few homes, but they've been diligently mowing the underbrush ever since.

~5 years ago a fire started. I went to their briefing. They were honest: "this is a worst-case-scenario location for a fire", because it was burning in an area that hadn't been burned or treated in 40+ years.

They contract for companies with brush mowers to shred the underbrush, and keep track of when each section of the forest gets mowed.

No fires this summer, on account of a crazy amount of rain. It'll be 10 years before this summer's growth dies out and becomes a fire hazard.
To actually quantify how "surprised" we should be, see e.g.:

• Gauss-Kuzmin distribution: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gauss%E2%80%93Kuz...

• This post: https://11011110.github.io/blog/2022/06/04/maybe-powers-pi.h...

(Look at the tail of the distribution, i.e. sum(p(k)) for k ≥ 292 — that will give the probability that a specific term in the continued fraction of a "random" number is at least 292. This is about 31% I think, so not too surprising.)

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned the power dynamics of interruption. It is well known in psychology that interrupting anothers speech is a way to exert power. The boss can interrupt anyone, no one interrupts the boss. It's one of several types of interruption:

https://www.psychmechanics.com/psychology-of-interrupting/

Interrupting someone can say "I am more important than you". This can also cause failures to communicate since the boss can change the subject and the interrupted speaker may never get to finish their thought. I've seen projects fail because a boss intentionally interrupted people who were trending in a direction they did not want to go, squashing anyone who was pointing out a major flaw in the bosses plans, which resulted in building things in a bad way and then having the flaw manifest and cause the project to fail.

There are other types of interruption though that can be more supportive or more like parallel conversations. The efficiency of those often depends on the quality of the participants memory and ability to follow multiple threads simultaneously.
Hi. Musician/producer/audio engineer here.

I've re-read Paul's initial post three times now and I'm still not seeing how you're interpreting the message of his post as "DAWs aren't mean to be used by musicians".

All he's said is that introductory products in the domain like Garageband (or perhaps Ableton's new app) initially start out as stepping stones for musicians who don't have an interest in the engineering aspect of things and that as the musician gets drawn into the discipline of audio engineering those apps become insufficient for their needs and they end up being drawn into full-featured DAWs.

He was simply highlighting an interesting problem that many musicians encounter as they dip their toes into the water of recording their music for the first time.

That aside, he very clearly refuted your three assertions:

1. That ALL engineers are musicians: His examples are correct (Though I believe CLA may be a drummer, if not a great one.) There are still plenty of other examples to draw on.

2. ALL musicians have a grasp of music production: His example of classical musicians is spot on.

3. EVERY DAW is developed by programmers who are musicians: I can't speak on this, but since he's a DAW developer, he'd sure as hell know a thing or two about that.

I don't know where you're getting this "holier-than-thou" attitude from. He's just having a conversation. There would be far less cause to refute your points if you didn't speak in so many absolutes ("All", "every").

Take a deep breath, man.
Not going to happen.

In 5 years, the current AI hype will be the same as the state of 3D Printing, IoT, AR/VR.

There is a fundamental disconnect between tech bros’ dreams and reality. These dreams have an outsized expectation of the tech-literacy of the average person. They also make the mistake of completely assuming that human decisions are driven by logic, not emotion.
Such a drastic change in effect—a drug inducing powerful stimulant effects in one group, and sedating effects in another—should be easily measurable by study, no? Is there any scientific literature documenting this?
You do not need AI to treat the workers that have historically performed well (as measured on some quantitative scale) better than others. Most businesses just don’t do it, as finding an objective scale is hard and people have good reasons for underperforming for periods of time (sick leave, parental leave).

The supply of even untrained workers is finite, so you have to treat them as people.
>I am not deriding that choice, just that it's a curious thing. We all blame our day jobs for eating most of our time. But when we do get total freedom, we hardly remain as productive as we imagined ourselves to be. I thought I was different. But no! Recently, I took a career-break and I thought I would use the newfound free time to learn all the things I was putting on the back-burner. Instead, I found myself to be dramatically less productive compared to when I was working. Lacking objective, or structure in the day, I found myself playing video games or surfing web pretty much all day.

I know the sensation! I'm currently taking a week vacation, and, although I've gotten a lot of work done around the house, my primary motivation for taking the vacation was to study cybersecurity stuff. I had been putting in 2 to 3 hours a night but had found it frustrating to have such a limited window after work/before bed. Now that I have that time, I'm either walking the dog, cutting up unused boxes, sweeping and cleaning, or watching random stuff on Odysee. It's not that those things are necessarily bad, but it is such a poor misuse of time.

It's almost a sense of fear of productivity. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like an apprehension to get started. That, if I begin, maybe I won't want to stop. Or that, maybe if I do it, I won't make the sort of progress I would expect to make with the amount of time I can devote to studying. I justify this misuse of time as being "Time to relax, no wrong choices" Etc. Yet somehow, I know that that isn't true. I can feel the regret in the time I've already wasted. Come Sunday night, I'll probably be back to studying, wishing I "just had a few more hours".

I have to imagine that part of the issue is conditioning. We get into our various habits and when those conditions change - even when we ourselves make those changes, intended to benefit us - it puts us in a kind of state of paralysis, leading to indecision. Perhaps it's that we need meaning to define what it is that we're doing, and know that it could have been done better.

This is silly.

AI is truly amazing, but don't be fooled by the incredibly graphical artworks it is delivering. All that stuff is weird, dreamlike images that make no sense. When you look at a really great AI image, it is the one cherry picked after discarding 1,000 nonsensical garbage images.

And chess has nothing to do with AI unless it's an AI learning how to play chess.

All in all there's nothing even close to human behavior anywhere in the AI landscape, just things that kinda almost look like human behavior if you squint enough.
I doubt it will come from Europe; genetic testing (like 23andme and parental tests) is literally banned in France because "genes don't exist/don't matter" and "we're all French".

For me I think it depends on what is needed to be accomplished.

Interrupt based communication for me is indeed natural when you’re brainstorming and want to solve a really hard problem where everybody is on board and solving it is the most important thing. Like a startup refinement session.

The thing is most human interaction is not like that.

People generally have their position set, and are looking for allies - the words themselves don’t matter much, its the communication of emotions that people are after. Looking for understanding, support, approval etc.

In those scenarios, when communicating information would involve telling people they are actually wrong (communicating disapproval) interrupting would not be considered “nice” as solving the issue is not actually what’s driving the conversation, its the sending and receiving of emotional signals that’s important.

Kinda like some game’s rendition of conversations with just some emojis. Its silly I know but I think the metaphor is actually quite apt.

It took me a while to realize this, as I imagined most conversations were about finding the truth (interrupting). But when I accepted that most of the time its about seeking understanding or alies (waiting). People around me suddenly started saying I became a _much_ better person to talk to… And the thing is, _after_ people put you in the emotional ally bucket mentally for whatever you were discussing, then you can sometimes actually start interrupting each other and solving the problem together.

How is it going to convince Jack to switch his shift and come in to cover open on Sunday because Jill’s sister was in a car accident and Jill is watching her niece? How’s AI going to do that better than a fellow human?

This is a solved problem by using surge pricing. It's a widespread practice with contractors today.

I don't know how much automated vs human reasoning figures into how say Instacart or Uber adjust their rates currently. But I think it's reasonable to predict that kind of process becoming self-governing over time. There, AI would exceed managerial performance over time and at scale. It'll still be subject to oversight and guardrails obviously.
There are a lot of large-scale optimization problems in industry that are still compute bound. Currently available solvers are either single threaded on the CPU, or offer "parallelism" by running copies of the same problem on multiple threads, but with different initial conditions in hopes that one happens to converge faster.
>> I think upper management will be replaced by robots before middle management.

You are already correct.

In a sense, the highest level of management is the shareholder/owner. Capital allocation is one of the most highly automated tasks currently. We see this with SAA (Strategic Asset Allocation) programmes being run across all major capital managers and owners.

Do you think it's the interrupting that's the issue here, or the fact that they're changing the subject? (and hence, not listening to you)

I think both "wait" and "interrupt" culture etiquettes involve supporting the current conversation, not ignoring the other person's input. The latter is frustrating in both styles.
