What do you do as a PM? Do you really make business decisions or just write stories/review UX screens?

IMO running a real product is the second best (and hardest) things to do. The first being running a company.

For this to be true, you should really like the product. And your decisions should directly impact product revenues. And product revenues should directly impact your income.

If that’s not the case with your current product, consider trying another one before switching back to coding.

A counterexample might be Twitter. It's something that lots of people want (judging by its usage), but it's really struggled to turn that into a business.

US population growth is mostly flat, all the growth is from immigration.[1][2]

And those people are filling trade skill jobs. [3]

> More than one-third of construction laborers (686,000 workers), at least 30 percent of carpenters (382,000 workers), and 45 percent of painters and paperhangers (264,000 workers) are immigrants.

And without them the population long term would decrease (which is obvious from the low fertility rate). [4]

They asked for a credible source. Do you have one?
Is this another way of saying we need to raise the age of majority to something like 25? At some point we have to accept that people are capable of making decisions for themselves and living with the consequences. We don't have to collectively accept blame when they make ill-advised choices. An adult can do research before choosing to go to college, choosing a degree path, choosing to finance it with debt.

I have already had versions of this conversation with my own daughter, who is now 12. We've talked about college, when it makes sense, when it may not, and how to make that decision based on life goals. She's plenty smart enough to understand that she doesn't need a career goal at her age, and that even when she becomes an adult it might change, but what she won't be doing is blindly wandering into college with a random hope of success at the other side.
Its interesting to note it will make benchmarking harder. Any benchmark could be 10% faster or slower based on which core your code is running on.

On linux you can use 'taskset 0x1 ./bench' to force a process onto a specific mask of cores. Sounds like this sort of thing will be increasingly necessary if you want to compare code variants on these CPUs with precision.

There’s nothing to preclude a CPU from adding fixed function units they can call for certain things. Larabee 2 (one of the knights series) actually included these on the chip (though they were disabled in the final compute only product).

You also forgot to mention the usability bit. Branching is bad for GPUs. They either take both branches or in the optimized version, they stall the pipeline until they get a result then attempt to optimize which units need to execute on which branch.

The first is simply inefficient. The last is efficient, but impracticality slow on branchy code.

On the power side, bloated x86 is hardly a good showcase for what such an architecture could do. I also suspect that an automatic thread manager like most modern GPUs use could also add a lot of value.

Do you like Prisma?

I think it's cool but it sucks that their prisma schema doesn't support constraints and more complex things. It is very basic and for any real world use migrations need to be used.

And I've had issues using it with SQLite. It doesn't support case insensitive filtering when using SQLite (I know, neither does SQLite). But as a result, i have to build a custom query which is pretty much what i wanted to avoid by using Prisma.
I can tell you: $50-60k is roughly how much I and other software engineers over here in Eastern EU make, enjoying both low costs of living and low taxes(a privilege granted to those the government wants to keep from moving to the west), and that is still not considered wealthy in this region.

Granted, for the equivalent of $100k you could maybe erect a 1100sq ft house at best, but that's because prices exploded due to the pandemic and Russian invasion.

Back in Classical Greece there was some debate as to what the cause of a lunar eclipse was. By this time it was generally accepted that it was due to the Earth coming between the Moon and the Sun and casting a shadow. But one point of evidence that was presented against this theory was that on occasion lunar eclipses were observed at sunset. You could clearly see both the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth did not appear to be between the two. This issue with the idea that lunar eclipses are due to the Earth's shadow wasn't really satisfactorily addressed until the 1700s or so when the refraction of light was systematically studied (though by the Hellenistic Era no one seriously doubted it).

This actually wasn't the only time when the refraction of the Earth's atmosphere produced surprising observations in the ancient world. One of the devices the Greeks used to determine the time of an equinox was what is called an equatorial ring. It's basically just a metal hoop oriented at an angle equal to 90 degrees minus the latitude. (Here's a diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_ring#/media/File:Eq...) During an equinox the Sun would be right on the celestial equator, and the shadow cast by the upper half of the hoop would fall exactly on the bottom half.

But it was noticed that sometimes, the shadow would fall on the bottom half early in the morning, then cross to the other side, cross back, and then later cross over once again --- it seemed that there was three equinoxes! Ptolemy explained this away as being due to instabilities in the device's orientation --- somehow it was very slightly tilting and so it wasn't possible to measure the time of the equinox to better than half a day or so. But today we know that this was also due to the refraction of the atmosphere. Early in the morning, the Sun would be refracted to appear to be just above the celestial equator, but as it rose, the refraction would lessen and it would fall back to its original place. Then later in the day it would cross the celestial equator "for real" when the equinox actually occurred. So the device was much more accurate than ancient astronomers gave it credit for!
You can probably set flags to download in lower bitrate formats. Some formats use a LOT less data than others, and usually the extra quality isn't really needed anyway if it's only being kept for reference. The difference between 1080p (or, say, 4K60) and 240p or 360p is massive.
Long ago I had my podcast downloader keep all files it downloads and recently I've been using OpenAI's Whisper to go through and create transcripts of the 8000 or so hours of data I have downloaded over the years.

Does anyone else feel like most of this AI buzz is destined to go the way of voice recognition? When that tech was new it was paraded around like gods gift to man, but when the high wore off we realized it was just a very shitty button that sometimes did the thing when you pressed it. ChatGPT wordage is okay at informing you I guess. It's extremely verbose, and kind of answers some questions, but using a proper search engine and applying my own critical thinking to get results feels so much better-- the same way it feels so much better to just use your phone/computer vs a voice assistant. Tech is cool though so it's fun to watch

With the rise of AI APIs, I expect we'll see similar attack vectors for apps that integrate APIs from OpenAI or Stability.

It doesn't need feedback from the type-checker. The type is not required, only whether a symbol is a type symbol. So it is enough to have feedback from the lexical scope, which can be tracked during parsing without any type analysis. It's a compromise, but a useful and simple one. C has been doing it since the 70s ("typedef").

I always see comments here about open source projects needing better funding mechanisms. Crypto solves this but everyone scoffs at it because crypto has become some boogey man word that gets shunned mostly because of Bitcoin being first with no utility and wasteful energy and ignores any progress made in the space.
>I think "AI" is way overhyped.

It has been. But the current crop of AI is different. It has very notable limits but it's helpful. I've started to use it myself and it's made a difference already. It can produce first drafts of emails and memos very quickly for me. I can then edit them at will. It's very much like an assistant.

It's been at least 2 decades since I have had a new software app change my work life. Yes, this time is different.
I don't think there's a lack of product market fit.

People are already building a ton of products on top of LLMs - (Jasper AI, Copilot-related tools, etc.)

I would guess that OpenAI has infra, compute, and operational processes that blow these startups out of the water.

If an interested buyer wanted to monetize, I think they could do so fairly quickly and profitably.

The UK rail network sucks. Try taking a train(or tram) in Switzerland.
This is such a weird take to me. You're saying: I want to add a rule, where this structure responds to a request in a certain way, based on how the programmer wrote the request in the calling code. Layer upon layer upon layer of weird, janky, edge-case, pseudo-rules, with no consistency, no clear mental model; an absolute nightmare of a programming language. No longer can you possibly intuit what a[-1] really means, nor can you intuit the rules of indexing. You've broken TWO mental models in one fell swoop. No longer can I look at your programming language and assume that anywhere I see a 7, I can replace it with a variable whose value is 7. That is no longer
true in your language! Variables no longer work intuitively in your language. Think about that! What an absolute nightmare!

This is exactly the difference between a language like PHP and a pure functional language. PHP says: usually we want to do X, but sometimes Y, so we'll make Z which does X unless Q is true in which case T1 will be set and Y will happen most of the time when you want it assuming you called it the write way and put an @ in the right spot otherwise P will happen because I hadn't had lunch when I wrote that and it seemed like P was pretty likely to be the case when T1 was set but an @ was not written but lately I've been feeling like maybe T2 should also be set sometimes so if you call Z and you want X but T1 is written and you don't want to write an @ then you can just set CONSTANT_FOO_BAR_WITHOUT_X_SET_AT to 17 because the other 16 codes are already used for other things.

Functional languages say: what if everything was just math?
That's comparing a tool to an insight though, like sure 'grammar' isn't as interesting as a poem. Math is interesting because despite being axiomatic there are all of these emergent things it can correctly predict about the world. To mix metaphors, there are very interesting stories that are at least in part in the grammar of math.
I think this is a bad idea.

I suppose that depends what their monetization strategy is.

I haven't paid a ton of attention, but my impression was that it's "sell our tech via an API." This relies on other companies building things that make a lot of money on top of that API. I know some are, but I'm not aware of any particularly successful ones yet.

Maybe someone will find a killer application for this that solve an expensive problem for someone. In that case, yeah, OpenAI will make bank. Or maybe the best you'll see is a bunch of small fries selling fun toys and OpenAI will never really take off in terms of actual revenue. Or maybe, by the time someone finds killer applications for OpenAI's tech, the tech will already be available from other providers (like GPT-Neo or StableDiffusion).
Well said. Most of this shit just circles back onto itself. Unfortunately having a very public, very unequal distribution of rewards only seems to perpetuate the cycle, and with commodities where the service is the product and the reward, the gravy train never ends and there's a sucker born every minute.

> in 2000 a CS degree wasn't positioned as that much more valuable than an English degree

Ha! By whom? We had a pretty good idea that it was a solid choice in the early 90s and before. We teased my older brother for going for a bachelor's in business while I went into CS, because we were pretty sure the CS degree would be worth a lot more. He's doing just fine, but mostly because he backfilled the equivalent of a CS education into his work experience.
