You don't because "scarcity" is artificially enforced in capitalism.

Also, I don't know how people start off from some randomly generated text and assume that the AI is going to make them a sandwich.
Really sorry. I accidently asked you some questions related to GoF design patterns, and unluckily you got an outage.

> What about students who don't really know what they're doing and just need to get something submitted for this damned assignment before 11:59 pm?

The author mentions ChatGPT is better for more advanced users, rather than beginners. I disagree.

I think ChatGPT is really good for beginners. Instead of being stuck or making up the "why" something is done, ChatGPT can answer it. There is simply no way a lecturer or classroom has time to go "5+ why's" deep into a Question. ChatGPT at least will do it, and then you can fact check it. It helps me improve my vocabulary, point me into right placed which I can investigate further.

When I use ChatGPT for difficult problems, it doesn't give me anything useful or correct.
Lacking the grindset there - my consulting startup offers a 75% increase in productivity, via a 7 day a week schedule at the daily output shown in this trial.

You can trebble that if you dont let the employees sleep or eat as well, for details you would have to sign up for the platinum package.
I have an idea to improve recruiting of senior technical ICs and managers by having them "guide" an AI towards completing a project.

Should reveal how well an IC understands and critiques the original submission by the AI, gives guidance towards identifying and rectifying wrong assumptions, and in general, helps a bright but flawed team-mate towards success.

My sense is that this Professor's idea is somewhat analogous to that - they are using GPT's flaws and shortcomings to surface a student's own knowledge levels.
Well there goes our code quality today.

Year over year, the quantity of energy to provide basic needs has decreased. Transportation and housing HVAC is more efficient, and the shift away from physical world such as digital entertainment and remote work also decreases the energy needs.

It used to be that meeting more needs (crudely measured by GDP growth) was directly linked to more energy consumption. That's not the case now for a few decades already, GDP growth has decoupled from energy usage.
Would you mind unpacking how, in your view, Go/Rust/compiled strongly-typed languages lead to more *reliable* software? I can see how performance and maintainability* are sort of self-evident arguments in favour of them, but not sure how reliability could be a feature inherent to a language/runtime.

* As a build/compile-time concern, using Node doesn't preclude strong-typing, so maintainability is also not a strong argument against the runtime itself, given you can use e.g. TypeScript.
AI plus distance learning is a one-two punch.

Surely universities can use timed in-person tests with no internet or phones if they want to guarantee human results.

Reminds me of university maths after the advent of the TI-89. The calculator could pretty much do all the math as long as you entered the equation the right way verbatim. But you still had to take some tests with no calculators allowed.
It was painfully obvious that nearly nobody wanted to take 8:00 AM classes when I was in college. There were two friends of mine who took the same 8:00 AM math class one semester, and they never met in lecture, except on quiz days.

Even the early birds I knew didn't quite like the morning classes, because they then had to rush towards lecture halls first thing in the morning, rather than strolling leisurely to the library, eating breakfast, or jogging and taking a shower, which I suspect is what many early birds most enjoy about being an early bird.

The problem is that there are seminars and stuff that occur at at like 7 or 8 pm, so university life almost necessarily extends late (after lecture, dinner, assignments, projects) in the evening at least on some days. This is further exacerbated by the fact that given how many group assignments there are, individual student rarely have total control over their own schedule. Even if you carefully choose your classes, avoid all late-night sessions, don't party, plan your life, it's still incredibly hard to sleep before 11pm consistently.
What about the Toolformer paper? And things like LangChain?

The speed at which I see this space changing in the last few months will render the argument obsolete pretty fast. Toolformer is just one example, but even the focus on "predicting words" seems pretty myopic. From what I have seen, these models keep getting upgraded with new layers of training which enhance their capabilities. So of it doesn't currently do X, but all it takes is the right annotations on a training set and then all of a sudden it does do X, to where will the goalposts be moved? Now that this genie is out of the bottle there is a very fast feedback loop finding flaws, errors or deficiencies and plugging those gaps.

Today I asked chatGPT to write a bullet point list of steps of how to accomplish a particular goal, and then asked it to write a bit of software in C# that executes those steps, and I kept the program simple and just asked for each step to print what it would do, and I then asked it what the output of the program would be and it gave me the correct answer, but what really floored me was when I just asked it somewhat ambiguously "can you make it easier to read?" and it modified the code to add indentation for each level of nested subtasks etc. It's somewhat simple, and a fairly trivial program to write on your own, but all arguments about "they don't do context or logic" sort of become moot for me if I can give it an instruction and it does what I want.
Nice it's actually "Gracka" though

The build pipeline was already part of Linux 6.1. I played around with it on ArchLinux with the target to compile an out of tree hello world kernel module in Rust:

But yes, what you describe is how search works on Sphinx-generated documentation sites and is quite impressive technology even before WASM.
This assumes an awful lot about the type of work done. Many jobs are about being present between certain given hours.

Good luck getting 5 days work out of a nurse in 4 days.
There's also the experience of knowing something, and I imagine it's like parentheses, exactly the same as knowing something. Again this whole know/experience distinction is presumptuous given our knowledge of neurobiology.

Case in point, I can guess that the experience of a fourth primary color is going to be close to one of another color. I know it's not going to be warm or anything (I'll guess that it looks kind of shimmery purple, why not, purple's mysterious). People do the same with drugs - it binds to XYZ receptor, releases ABC hormone; and just from some pharmokinetic principles you can guess fairly well how it's going to feel.
It is both, and the fact is that a day only has so many hours. Scheduling is already difficult, halving the number of hours would be impossible.

“But just schedule evenings” maybe you object. Ok, so what about the other daytime obligations that teachers may have? Daycare, office hours of collaborators, etc.

The 8-5 schedule is an emergent property of society, not a ruthless schedule imposed by the elusive morning person cabal.

> Many landlords see renting to single women alone or in groups (and single men, to a lesser extent) as a risk — to the stability of families, to the reputations of neighborhoods.

Yeah, no. Landlords don't like renting to single people of either gender. The rental listings usually say Families only or No bachelors. I don't know from where the author got the idea that single men are less likely to be seen as a risk. But that doesn't match my lived experience of more than 7 years in Bengaluru . In one particular instance though, the landlord was willing to rent to spinsters but not to bachelors.

Indian women face plenty of structural issues and discrimination. But this particular issue is not gendered. And it is disingenuous that the article tries to spin it that way.
It is irrational.

It depends.

If you are well versed in ML then you know the concepts very well and have already played with them extensively. Thus reading a paper might be enough to learn it because you have done all the conceptual work up front.

But even if you didn't learn the papers you still have built a mental catalogue of ML results that you can go back to learning when the occasion to implement them arises.

So yes, you probably learned a chunk of them and some you simply remember, but that's ok.

There is also the problem that the author assumes permanent dependence on AI in every situation.

The moment you are separated from your tool of choice you become worthless and unless the AI is opensource, you will have to pay steep fees as if the AI was your landlord.
a lot of people would just drink and do drugs, because they are unable to self direct. I think that right amnount of struggle keeps people sane.
No /s. That's exactly why I dreamed about working in my own startup. So I wouldn't have to wake, like at 6 AM to have a chance for proper shit and shower. Now I simply can skip sleeping altogether!
.systems wasn't one of the most affordable new gTLDs used for spamming but a lot of mail sites blocked or at least increased "SPAM score" for most if not all new gTLDs.

With .systems I would expect somewhat reduced inbox deliverability but with .icu, .xyz, .top, .live and similar, you can forget about egress email.

If this were true, those roles wouldn't exist to begin with. Do you think perhaps there's a reason why those roles have come to be?
But there is something like reputation. Once you have a reputation for being a place with a toxic HR/hiring culture its hard to get rid of that. Finding good people is hard in our profession, and most people have plenty of other options. This is not the first time I've heard something shady about the hiring practices of this particular company.
Why would you pay so much for mac OS and end up using free linux?
So OpenAI has now inherited GitHub's streak of outages, thanks to Microsoft.

All this AI hype has amounted to a single AI SaaS going down taking all those sitting on the API with it, whilst also claiming to be an 'AI company'.

Oh dear.
My point exactly. It's not like MS lacks desktop programming languages for its own products/OSes.

Come now, there are certainly heuristics with which you move about and make decisions in the world every day without investing 3 years a piece on. And even when you desire to seek the advice of some trusted expert, you rely on heuristics and biases to inform your decision on which one to trust.

> I love that I [..] can (shock!) go out to lunch with my wife during the week while the kids are at school

(Genuine question) but why wouldn't someone be able to have lunch with their OH while working a traditional 5-day week? Surely a lunch break is something everyone is entitled to even when they're working that day?
I hear you. I also know people with ADHD, and know how it affects them. We all know it is a struggle and I am not asserting you or any other person with ADHD is less of an adult for it. You bear that burden and everything that goes with it, and I respect that.

However, there has to be something that the human society should cling to. And that is the natural sunrise/sunset cycles of our environment. We cannot please everyone, but could you agree with me on this ?

How else could we structure our universities and workdays if not according to our natural environment? I sadly cannot think of a way that does not include layers and layers of renduncancies and around the clock university lectures which would cater to everyone, and ultimately to noone. As we would open a pandora's box of people waking up at 6am, 9am, 13am, 3pm, and imagine the complexity of catering to ALL of those cases.

1) Almost all of these services have generous free tiers. Even if you're running a relatively high traffic site your bill will be practically $0.

2) These technologies are stable and usually not that complicated. You are missing out on a lot of productivity by not looking into them.

Understanding the "real underlying technologies" is a myth. The "underlying technologies" are constantly changing, unless you are using an extremely outdated stack: https://www.youtube.com/live/hWjT_OOBdOc?feature=share.
Isn't that one of the arguments regarding our own evolution? I remember the whole argument around how since the invention of agriculture humans are less dextereous and have to be less alert cause we are mostly safe.

Without that loss of hand eye coordination that followed the lack of daily hunting there is also no roman empire, no silk road, no pyramids, no three sisters in indegenous agriculture, no man on the moon, no internet and no chatgpt.

Whether we would be sacrificing a skill, or gaining enough productivity for the next leap forward I guess we will have to see.
Skip breakfast, sleep less. You don’t have 8am classes every day. You can easily get to bed by 22:30 and sleep more than enough.

If your circadian rhythm is set to sleep at 2am, an 8am class is going to be hell no matter what you do.
Creators aren't worried about others getting the ability to produce. It would be fantastic if everyone could paint, sculpt, carve -- or any number of skills that must be painstakingly built. The fear is that so many things will be produced without thought that, rather than entering a period of cultural abundance, we will enter a cultural stagnation.

This is not because AI tools cannot be used to generate good art! In fact we'll likely see artists adjust their process to take advantage of its strengths. Rather, it's because these tools are used to generate art (whether good, or mediocre) completely automatically, rendering art as a commodity rather than something special to treasure. If you see art as a means to an end then this might seem good. But part of the sheer power of art is in its scarcity; in the rarity encouraging us to take the time to investigate something more deeply, to build up relationships with art and artists, to find meaning and emotion and connection, which takes time and intention.

Imagine an AI-produced endless stream of music that takes all of its cues from your favorite songs and produces high-quality audio tuned exactly to what you like hearing. How long does this remain interesting? How difficult is it to tell this noise from new music which might later shape your tastes? Part of the stagnation this AI revolution represents is an added difficulty of cultural evolution, because instead of there being room for the truly new, we are swamped by imitations of everything that came before.
As a writer, I'm much happier in the revision/editing stage than in the first draft stage. I have a half-finished novel that's been half-finished for the best part of 8 years now. I'm now thinking that maybe if I feed the draft into <ML-shiny-of-the-day> with suggestions for how I want the next section/chapter to develop, it could generate some draft copy for me. Possibly several different versions. After which I'm in my Happy Editing Place, shaping existing copy to something I like. Repeat and rinse!

The end result would be 100% my work as the ML algorithm/brains/whatever would be generating new copy based on my existing copy and my vision and direction for the novel. And I get the final say on the results. Win-Win!
We can certainly imagine that (e.g. The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson is a good example of such a system), however, this is not what we are going through now. The currently built systems mess up the pedagogical tools and curricula we have, but do not yet provide an equivalent or better replacement, so at least in the short term it does make learning worse.

Also, if someone can use a chatbot for exploring material does not mean that this is a good pedagogical tool for that - one of the functions that grading has in pedagogy is motivation to nudge learners to actually do the work, and that is a valuable function; expecting people to self-motivate for self-guided education will work for some but will completely fail many those learners who most need education.

I'd like to see a more nuanced discussion of what 8am actually is. I've lived in places where 8am means you've already had 2-3 hours of sunlight and places where 8am is pitch black. Clock time and sun time don't always match.

Social time is another aspect, although linked more closely with clock time. After moving countries I found it very strange to see popular TV shows advertised with with a start time of half-past midnight. "Who would be up to watch it?" I thought. Of course, it turns out, there are plenty of people up watching TV at that time in this culture.

"Artistic" in the sense "more concerned about art" not "having more art in their results" (which can't be measured anyway).

So, like "arthouse movies". An arthouse movie could be much worse done than a mainstream good movie (like, say, the Godfather). The art in the term is not about the level of artistry, but about the approach.
