That's an interesting take. The ChatGPT seems to do very well at doing what it's told, but it needs very explicit requirements and supervision to discover missing requirements. It's a junior developer, basically.

That could put junior developers out of a job just like glass terminals put many data entry and server room operators out of jobs.
1. I have no idea sadly.

2. I have a guess that i would perform a bit better in a regular and more disciplined school, since i did much better when i moved to "gymnasiet"(late highschool). This school had a much more traditional way of teaching.

3. When i was 16 i moved on to gymnasiet(later highschool) and did okay there. After that i tried to get into university but i did not have good enough grades to get accepted. So i went to a diploma school, much like a coding boot-camp, which i dropped out of to start my company which is what i do now.

The first trancontinental routes crossed via Rock Springs (6388 ft) and Rawlins (6834 ft). It's not immediately clear to me which planes they used, but that's over the Curtiss JN-4B service ceiling. The route was originally surveyed in 1920 by 3 cutting-edge Junkers-Larsen JL-6s, an American-built F13 (only 8 JL-6s were ever made!). Bert Acosta flew one of them.

If the civil aviation sector suffered hull losses at the same rate as remote control war drone flying does[0] - even excluding those shot down - the entire industry would be bankrupted within a few years.

Also, this is an attempt to reduce labor costs. They aren't going to put a pilot on the ground as primary or backup - they just want to remove the second pilot from the loop entirely.

We have a list of airliner crashes[1], that once we figure out absolute numbers of total flights likely shows that airliners are much, much safer than remote controlled drones (after excluding shoot downs for latter), but what we don't have is data on how many aircraft landed safely but only because the second pilot was there. I'd want to know:

1. How many times did a pilot immediately intervene for a developing safety issue while the other pilot was asleep, in the toilet, or suffering from a medical incapacitation? A huge amount of work has been done to ensure redundancy of human control in such situations, because many crashes have occurred where this process failed.

2. How many times did a pilot make a mistake that was corrected by a second pilot, and if that correction hadn't been made a safety issue would have developed? There are numerous crashes attributed to pilot error and the second pilot failing to correct that error - a huge amount of work has been done to make sure that can't happen again, because everyone knows pilots regularly make mistakes, often a critical time of the flight from a safety perspective: landing.

3. How many times has an automated system shown better error correction performance that saved an aircraft vs a human being?

Until we have this data, the data we have suggests remote controlled aircraft or removing a pilot has the potential to be one of the most dangerous decisions to happen to civil aviation in the history of the industry.

Sure — but equally so is the response to Bell’s inequality that we must live in a non-deterministic world… even though that’s a purely extraneous assumption (ie, we’re non-local either way).

That's too early to know for sure but for now I'm not that impressed yet. Yes sure those can be great tools for helping developers but replacing jobs? Maybe the most boring jobs possible could be automated with that and I'm not even sure.

If you think about it it's much less revolutionary in terms of reducing coding jobs than WordPress.

I think you missed the OP's point. This is precisely not about "being useful to you" or "useless to someone else". The point is that not everything has to be useful, and that it is ridiculous to have to have to find some economic (in the broad, neoliberal sense) incentive to do this or that. Just do things for the sake of doing them (or not doing them), not as part of a strategy.

It is a universally accepted fact that physical exercise is good for you, and a lot of people enjoy it. If you don't exercise, it's either because you don't have the time to do it or you can't be bothered (or a bit of both). If you do have the time, then just go for a walk and stop finding excuses not to. I'd rather see people not go for a walk because they can't be bothered than convince them to do it because it'll make them more productive, better adapted to the job market, improve their "human capital", or whatever ridiculous reason "life hackers" come up with.
Isn’t this treatment simply accomplishing the same thing that the current treatment does but in a targeted way with hopefully much fewer side effects? When you have cancerous T cells the only option is to eradicate all of them and start over with a bone marrow transplant. Normally that would mean frying them with radiation or poisoning with chemo which also effects a lot of other tissue. This treatment is supposed to only kill the T cells.

As an older gentleman, I have lived in three coffeehouse cultures; the physical, the virtual, and now where the virtual and the real meet.

I will take the first over any. I watch people in coffeehouses today, young and old. All the human interaction is gone. People;le will still chat with the friends they know over the internet while ignoring everything around them.

And now with digital books and laptops I can no longer see what book someone is reading and ask them about their insights. Everyone is in work mode 24/7 as well.

The internet was a commodification of the social aspect of the coffeehouse and it has done what commodification has always done; it ruins the experience, it cheapens it and reduces it to a bland common denominator where everyone has to be nice and the same 24/7 or you can never go back.

In my community we have a housing complex that if solely for people with serious mood disorders like schizophrenia. These people would also frequent the coffeeshops and interact act with everyone else in various states of consciousness. If one spoke like they usually do in pretty much any forum on the internet they are ridiculed and usually banned. There is no humanity left in the virtual coffeehouse, no space for difference, it is all an attempt for people to have their own little authoritarian safe space.

Just stop trying to reinvent the coffeehouse and go outside to a real one and don't take out your phone or your laptop. Make spaces unsafe again!
The current crop of generative AI all seems like it could produce useful tools for various practitioners, programmers included, I don't yet see evidence for replacing jobs. But it's hard to extrapolate.

That said the best way to anything-proof this career that's so lucrative is to be frugal and set yourself up to retire early.
Most programming is just plumbing. AI will probably replace that.

That leaves algorithm research, and so we can then spend 100% of our time on hard CS.

The first issue here is that she never registered her original work with any copyright registry. It's $55 for 750 photos for the US Copyright Office, which is more or less accepted worldwide. (Also, she's living in the US and working there.)

You don't have to register your art (including photos) to get copyright protection. Otherwise, poor people would get the screwed over even more - $55 is around a day's labour at minimum wage. Requiring registering just paves the way for companies to steal poor people's art and photos. Registering is completely optional, though it will sometimes help if you need to sue. There are other ways to prove stuff ownership, though.

Hint: there is this thing called Kubernetes. It's quite successful now.

It is a direct attempt to bodge onto Linux what Plan 9 did in the kernel.

More examples...

Microkernels: trying to turn a monolithic Unix kernel into a fleet of cooperating userspace servers, without using the filesystem as the comms mechanism as Plan 9 did.

RPC: trying to bodge inter-node comms onto the standalone OS design of UNIX.

The definition of the term "second system effect" is:

«
the tendency of small, elegant, and successful systems to be succeeded by over-engineered, bloated systems

Plan 9 is dramatically smaller and simpler than mainstream UNIX systems, such as Linux.

It is precisely and specifically the opposite of what you are claiming it to be.

That's basically never been the case for any statistical AI system which are all subject to "catestrophic forgetting".

The weights of the system which are its memory are set by having their values determined over an entire training set. This is, effectively, a compression process which takes eg., most of the internet, and compresses it to 1TB of weights.

If you update those weights by a process which doesn't "zip everything at once" then you're overwriting weight values by data which is less representative than "everything at once".

I'd imagine in ChatGPT's case, OpenAI will review all the transcripts and find someway to do a pass over the whole set at once to make some improvement.

If it were being trained live it's whole memory would be wiped out and replaced with racist/sexist/etc. inputs very quickly, as with MS's chatbot

You can think of self-help books as stocks and you are a venture capitalist. So books may contain zero value and add no benefits to your life, while others might provide information and advice that presents you with new information that adds thousand or even millions of dollars to your life. The winners pay for the losers. Valuable insights I have gotten from reading self help books:

1. The frequency of a habit matters more for the development of a habit than the intensity. My chess coaching motto came from this book: "Consistency over Intensity"[1]

2. Most people are deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is considered the anti-stress mineral. A central symptom of the deficiency is insomnia. Personally, I started taking 250mg of magnesium supplement daily. [2]

3. Similarly, to the fight-or-flight response, there is pause-and-plan response. Your willpower can be increase by slowing down your breathing thus triggering the pause and plan response. This is something I do when I get intense cravings during my fast.[3]

4. Putting some tape over your mouth before bed can stop sleep apnea. Admittedly, I have stopped this(I will restart), but when I did, I had some of the most refreshing sleep.[4]

5. Another of my mottos, progress equals happiness came from reading self-help books. [5]

Yes, poor people are being screwed over. You lose a whole set of available remedies in court if you don't register "timely". It's about as optional as health insurance. You're not forced to do it, but if anything goes wrong, you'll dearly regret your decision.

Also, she should have been suing to declare the painting a derived work of her photo. Drawing it was clearly transformative, so it's not a pure copyright infringement. But as a derived work, she would be entitled to receive revenue share from the painter. It's just that for that whole derived work thing to work, her photo needs to be registered first.
The question wasn't just about ChatGPT though. If the SOTA improves as much in the next decade as it has in the last decade (for from a guarantee of course), it will be hard for any tech company to justify having thousands of developers.

> Programmer would be the last job to go

Nope. Experience has shown that tasks that require peak intellectual abilities in humans are actually very easy for computers to do. Computers were outperforming humans at calculation 80 years ago, and have been crushing grandmasters at chess since the 90s.

Meanwhile, controlling a robot to move efficiently, or reliably distinguishing everyday objects like cats and dogs, is still extremely challenging for current AIs, which require more data than any human could see in a thousand lifetimes to perform at a remotely adequate level.

It's "menial" jobs that will be the last to go. Because those rely on innate abilities grown over hundreds of millions of years of evolution. A task like programming that was only invented three generations ago is trivial by comparison.

> More population sure raises the value of land, making housing more expensive which sucks for raising a family.

Actually this is not so much a problem for the amount of population but of excessive centralization around big cities. The earth, even if we only consider the places with reasonable climate, water and food supply and decent enough orography is pretty much empty.

Everyone agrees that as big cities grow the housing prices increase, but I don't see this happening in small towns far from big cities. Every country is different and obviously there are very good reasons to have some regions not very populated (I'm not saying Lapland should have the same population density as the coast of the Mediterraneum) but in plenty of cases places are unnecessarly crowded.

Spain is a good example of this, Madrid in particular is a city far too expensive for the salaries due to the excessive amount of population. The weather or the land aren't particularly good, it's not that it has massive water supply or anything like that, it's just that there have been centuries of centralization efforts by governments.

1. Regularity/frequency

2. Depth

I will check a site if I know that it is more likely than not to have interesting new material on it (e.g. Derek Lowe's 'In the pipeline')

I will actively go hunt down a site if I know that it may have exceptional material on it (e.g. Steve Yegge's sporadic postings)

Build up a track record on either (or both) of these points and you'll pick up followers. Neither is easy of course. I refer to my own blog as "write only" because I lack on both fronts ;)

Edit:

After stalking your profile and reading what I presume to be your blog (well, it does have 4 posts on it), I would suggest that you're still finding your voice.

One thing I notice is that the posts are a bit hand-wavy high-level. On the "todo" post, for example, why not give a few concrete examples of the good and bad (in your opinion) types of todo comment? The code blocks will visually break up the page a bit, and hopefully you'll nerd snipe the reader too.

If you're feeling brave, try giving the draft you would otherwise publish to a friend with overlapping interests and get their feedback on what is and isn't interesting in your posts.
> Did the shovel make it less likely you would employ someone to dig?

That's a limited analogy.

If you replace shovel with robotic excavator, it gets closer to what we have with current AI. It's not replacing jobs _yet_, but as soon as those excavators become fully automated, a single worker will be able to do the job of dozens, at a fraction of the time and cost.

And, yes, AI-powered excavators are a thing[1].

A closer analogy would be the trucking industry. Truckers are losing jobs _today_ as self-driving technology improves.

The same will eventually happen with software. Programmers will still be needed to drive the AI, but the productivity of one will be greatly increased, and human teams will be much smaller. Programmers won't be needed for simple tasks at first, until eventually only "prompt engineers" are left.

So I wouldn't say this is an existential risk yet, but our field will radically change within the next decade.

I don't. I think I figured it out after reading it half a dozen times (except for Basic, no clue there) before working out that Post is probably a noun. So even this requires context to just read and know what it does, my first read of it I only knew what Serializer meant.
Yes, there must be a reason. It's described extensively in the proceedings of the case.

What seems most plausible to me, is that we, aliens to Luxembourgh copyright law, outsiders to the court case, unaware of the actual text of the ruling, jump to unfounded conclusions based on our gut feeling and superstitions.
This feels wrong in many different directions.

- Replacing plumbing work isn't trivial for AI at all.

- AI can also do algorithms research.

- Most developers aren't qualified or interested in doing algorithm research.

- There isn't that much demand for algorithms research, not enough to match the pool of developers anyway.
Don't forget the influencers.
