OK, so we are 100% in agreement then? I absolutely don't believe the marginal value of programmers will fall to zero by 2030 (but, to clarify, the way you phrased your original sentence I thought it was that an LLM made this assertion, not some random VC dudes). I also highlighted in my posts that I use AI as an aid to my processes, "That is, for me, the output of ChatGPT or other AI tools is the starting point of my investigation, not the end output. Yes, if you just blindly paste the output from an AI tool you're going to have a bad time, but we also standardize code reviews into the human code-writing process - this isn't that different."

Also, I think the coding example in that substack highlights that one of the most important characteristics of good programmers has always been clarifying requirements. I had to read the phrase "remove all ASCII emojis except the one for shrugs" a couple times because it wasn't immediately clear to me what was meant by "ASCII emojis". I think this example also highlights what happens when you have 2 "VC bros" who don't know what they're talking about highlighting the "clever" nature of what ChatGPT did, because it is totally wrong. Still, I'd easily bet that I could create a much clearer prompt and give it to ChatGPT and get better results, and still have it save me time in writing the boiler plate structure for my code.

The final authority, and final liability, for the airplane is on the head of the pilots.

A commercial pilot friend has told me that they still check the calculations. When they don't, they get accidents like the Gimli Glider.

It's like saying that putting all of the legal checks on the lawyers is not going to give you a sustainable business. But we all know that's wrong.
When I hear a huge company like Apple say that one of their products is for a specific thing, and not a much more lucrative thing that would have more users, I take it to mean that they know it's not good enough for the really lucrative thing.

They're desperately trying to spin it to be for what it can handle, rather than what people want it to be for.

Meta just screwed up. I can't imagine why they thought business would pay for access to the metaverse when they hadn't even gotten gamer buy-in yet. They had excellent gaming-capable products already, so I can't imagine what they were thinking by leaving out the cheap features that would make the new headset good for gaming, too.
This goes to show that it doesn't take talent to be one of the worlds richest. It just takes luck. And Zuck has run away from what made him so lucky. He will fall.

TBH I'm terrified of the double-whammy effect of researchers becoming less and less competent as AI takes the reins (a la Wall-E) and good science getting drowned out by crap.
>whereas Google is only going to use their internal tech

Really? I have a hard time seeing why this must be the case.
This reminds me of the time in college a friend brought over a bottle of hot sauce (I want to say it was called Mustard Gas? This was ages ago). He would NOT SHUT UP about how amazingly hot it was and how you had to be real careful to only put a tiny dab on your food.

Fast forward several hours of heavy drinking and we were getting hungry. He makes a hot dog and confidently dumps like a tablespoon of hot sauce on it. Takes a bite, sprints to the bathroom, and spends the next half hour with his head jammed under the sink faucet moaning in misery.

Sounds like your booze-and-hot sauce experiment went a bit better :)
I wonder how ownCloud is doing these days, especially since it looks like they changed everything to Go.
The headline is a bit misleading. It's nothing the AI did, it was a misconfiguration of the website itself.
Which comes with drawbacks. Video is sent out compressed over USB protocol which requires CPU cycles, more resolution + moving images = more CPU grunt required. Plus there is the risk some update will break the driver making your dock useless.

Like so many before you, you are making the mistake of thinking Apple cares about marketshare.

They quite demonstrably don't. They care about profit-share, and about making what they see as the best computers they can.

As others note, Apple already takes either a plurality or a majority of the profit in computer sales. What incentive is there for them to reduce their average margins, take on a lot more support responsibility, and have to ramp up production significantly, just to capture a notoriously fickle and unrewarding segment of the market?
Stealth Startup | Sr. Machine Learning Architect | Remote/PNW

This company is looking for a Sr. Machine Learning Architect who will end up owning the development of the platform. The industry is within sales, but the platform is much more than that. Company is early-stage, but already funded and looking to scale. This person would be coming in as an early employee and could possibly end up being brought in as a co-founder for the right fit with appropriate compensation and equity.

Ideal candidate will know how to build out a complete machine learning platform including all related stack and substacks. They will have experience in early stage startups and know how to deal with changing requirements.

Co-founders have a previous exit and looking to bring in a team to help scale this solution.

> Yes, calculators do that. I'm arguing that "AI" does not let programmers write better code faster. It lets them write worse code faster, or better code slower.

The idea isn't to write better code faster, it's to build better products faster.

Although IMO in the future, AI will probably also enable programmers to write better code too (faster, less bugs, more secure, more frequently refactored etc)

It's still somewhat faster if you benchmark it. I assume the os is doing good enough prefetching in the mmap case to hide the loads from disk mostly. So it's not just hiding the initial load of 30gb from disk.

Obviously if you're swapping because you don't have enough memory to hold the model in RAM, the mmap version is going to be much faster, since you don't need to swap anything out to disk but just discard the page and re-read from disk if you need it again later.

Bio: I have a bias towards action and building things. As a developer, architect and team lead, I get my hands dirty throughout the entire process. From ideation through development all the way to production and support. I'm the guy that can take a small team of engineers and in few months build a product you can trust is reliable, secure, stable and sellable. Hire me and unleash my potential, you won't regret it.

Imagine deploying highly tested, secure and scalable code rapidly to meet your business' ever increasing needs. Imagine working with a professional that works at all levels of the stack, from building the APIs, setting up the infrastructure to working with designers to implement your vision. From clean & secure code to building robust solutions that can scale up quickly, that's exactly what I do. From working as a solo contributor, lead and architect to managing teams of a dozen or more developers; I can help you build your tech organization to help you achieve your digital goals.

I can help you pull the right levers to get your application running smoothly, fix your compliance issues and secure your customers data. I'm part cyber security engineer, architect, devops engineer and developer.

Except that it does!

For every level of abstraction, you lose something, and abstractions are leaky.

The lower levels of abstraction make you lose the least, and they are also the least leaky. The higher you go, the more you lose, and the more leaky.

What I'm claiming is that these "AI" tools have definitely reached the point where the losses and the leaks are too large to justify. And I'm betting my career on that.

Here's an attempt to decode Apple's thinking behind this messaging: Even though Apple's sales expectations for the first few generations are reportedly quite modest, at $3k they're going to need to get some corporate adoption.

Providing justification for it as remote work / teleconferencing is necessary to help the corporate "Tech Aristocrats" make at least a fig leaf argument that they need this thing. "Aristocrat" is what I call the specialized 'top performer' class of proven long-term ICs in big companies. These are the guys who always seem to wrangle the latest $5k monitors and other super whiz bang gear that IT won't spec for the rank and file. It's not a big market for Apple comparatively but it's the next step larger from VPs and up who can just have their admins order whatever they want with zero justification.

Getting the company to pay for your Apple headset is definitely going to be this year's cool status symbol signifying your importance and pull. As a product category, I'm long-term bullish on AR/VR but short-term bearish because we've still got a ways to go in quality, usability and, most importantly, compelling use cases (beyond gaming & media consumption). I expect the Apple headset will probably be the best yet but it'll still fall short of 'actually necessary' for a business.

That's down to caching. If you used your system to do something else for a while, you'd find those pages evicted and the performance back down to Earth. That's one of the things that makes mmap so useful, though. The system can take advantage of access patterns to dramatically improve performance.

Fridman is the worse species of pseudo-intellectual. Almost without fail he asks in every interview "why can't we base things on love?" like it isn't the shallow takeaway of Judaeo-Christian discussion that it is.

Then there's his obsession with aliens, to the point of obnoxiousness: see his insistence on debating panspermia theory with Betül Kaçar, who'd just spent five minutes describing why that probably is highly unlikely, with strong scientific basis, to the point of being offensively dismissive.

EDIT - he literally starts telling her something along the lines of "that's just your perspective", like she didn't just lay down a bunch of qualified reasoning. It'd be one thing if he just said 'this is just my take' and left it at that, but he didn't.

Imagine living in a world where you can only wear a black t-shirt with comfort fit blue jeans. Since the beginning of time, that's all anyone has ever worn and nobody has questioned it.

Then one day, someone starts selling a red shirt in limited quantities. Man, wouldn't it be really great to be wear one? Someone else sells slim fit jeans. Wow, all the choices...

People tend to act on their unhappiness when they have additional choices that they can make, and deal with the situation as it is when they can't. Divorce used to be damned near heretical due to the vows involved until the baby boomers with their enlightened self-interest came of age and decided that marriage needed to be as disposable as their milk jugs and tampons.
It really doesn't. Prose isn't source code. Learning something, then later writing something else isn't copying.
I believe you have made a subtle error. The people who do not "believe in science" and the people who reason socially are non-trivially correlated. There are three groups. People who claim to (believe/not believe) in science for social reasons, and those who actually practice science.

The third group is the smallest, but it is not vanishingly small, and addressing your audience as if they "only think they practice science for logical reasons" is itself a social appeal. If you are describing yourself, say so. Don't engage in unfounded anti-intellectualism.

I've run semi-proprietary Linux distros that are (in practice) parasitic on Android but include a GNU userland as well, like Sailfish.

They are a lot better in some ways, but I think much of the issue is present in the kernel alone, where dependency on binary blobs and proprietary drivers means kernels are frozen in place forever.

The issue is software freedom in general, beyond just the missing parts of the desktop Linux software stack that we know and love, like our package managers, GNU utilities, Wayland, systemd, etc.
"Why did the projected explosion of technological growth everyone was expecting—the moon bases, the robot factories—fail to happen? There are two possibilities. Either our expectations about the pace of technological change were unrealistic (in which case, we need to know why so many intelligent people believed they were not) or our expectations were not unrealistic (in which case, we need to know what happened to derail so many credible ideas and prospects)."

Physics is a harsh mistress; our expectations that the laws of physics could be overcome by technology was unrealistic.

I used an 8GB M1 Air as primary device (Safari, Xcode, Simulator, VSCode etc) in 2021 and it mostly worked out. I preferred it over my beefy i9 MBP due to various reasons. Sometimes I had to kill apps if a memory challenging app ran in the simulator.

Maybe your argument applies when running Chrome (?), but I had no issues whatsoever running Safari, and not even using an ad blocker.
The way Cook describes AR is not something I want ("dropping the digital world into your reality").
