LLMs (including GPT4) clearly do have limitations, no one disputes this. Those limitations have certain general characteristics which you might categorize informally as failures of "reasoning", "scientific thinking", etc. You could redefine or reinterpret those words to mean something else or to be used in a misleading way but it wouldn't change the fact that LLMs fail to do many things that humans can do.
In one word, you are saying we have stupid folks in the legislature messing up the country. It is true and they have been doing that for a while …
> employees will also have to get used to large pay cuts if that's a hard requirement for them

Then these companies are going to have to get used to lower profit margins as time catches up and kicks them out with competitors.
One would argue that it was "dumbass" if the attempt to cut cost affected a greater loss of productivity.

But that is often the case; attempts to increase "shareholder value" come at an outsized and detrimental cost of productivity and ultimate profit. But such is life. You cannot know the outcome of two paths as you can only test one of them.
It makes reasoning about behavior very, very difficult. There is no tooling support for it.
Feel free to judge me.

I personally grew up poor AF in a 3rd world country with no resource (no running water, a hole for a toilet, and we used lamps at night to study). It bothers me when I see people in USA basically live off their parents and complain non-stop over dumb things. That's like, my opinion bro.

I'll be leaving my family a generous amount, don't you worry about them. I love them very much, and I want them to be successful on their own two feet and not depend on me to die so they can ball out.

More importantly, I'll raise my kids right compared to the fools I see around me in USA who just live off their lineage and still manage to complain over the dumbest things.

Case in point - my housemate from a few years ago when I was broke AF and living in a cheap 10x8 room.. this dude spent basically 16 hours a day playing call of duty/drinking/smoking weed and he basically told me he was waiting for his grandmother to die so he can receive some money. She ended up dying from Covid and he got almost 600k. He still smokes weed, gets drunk, and even got a DUI recently. I would be ashamed if he was my kid for failing as a parent. He's probably the most egregious example, but I know plenty of others who don't work hard because they know they're going to get a ton of money from their grandparents/parents dying so they just play the long game. I find that gross.. imagine wasting your life until you're 40 waiting for a payday from granny or mommy passing away.
> I don't really see that as a bad thing. This is a policy decision and as such needs to be based on a rational calculation and values, not the feelings known to be hopelessly biased and generally unreliable.

I hope future AGI doesn't behave this way or we're all fucked.

> So I take it you are extremely pro-life on abortion

Abortion has way more nuance, there isn't a 100% "right" side, ideally there is never a need for abortion, and as someone without a uterus (and has never had one) I shut my mouth on taking sides because it isn't my place to do so. I support uterus owners protecting their own lives and making this decision amongst themselves.

Anyway this is exhausting. I'm not going to convince you. I hope you decide one day that killing people by the millions, which would largely be disadvantages groups, is not a good decision for humanity.
Interesting that Canada is seen as a low cost center. However, it is possibly true that it would be a little less expensive than the US (52K vs 70k GDP/capita). Note that India is 2K and Mexico is 10K so not really in the same ballpark for "offshore".

The far bigger problem for VR is simply crispness of text and objects at a distance. High poly counts are relatively unimportant, there's a new Zelda game out with graphics that wouldn't have been amazing ten years ago doing pretty well that would probably run just fine on a quest.
There aren't any such guys. Running TSMC is a stack of many different levels of sole suppliers from different companies (US, Netherlands, Japan, even sort of Ukraine for neon.)

Did something similar a bit ago with the 5900X and a 6900XT. Wonderful setup, low wattage, quiet, performant.

Just lost it to a fire and not sure what to replace it with, alas. Too busy in the aftermath to justify building and parting stuff independently, so that probably leaves me with an off the shelf or a workstation + GPU combo.

The issue with the PNW is similar to the issue with Florida. Climate Change is going to nuke both areas out of habitability in the next handful of decades. While sure FL has conservative loons running things and that's problematic in the short to medium term for Disney that'll pass. It'll be being on fire or under water that'll keep them away.

Sewage is a bit strong of a word for it, but sometimes the cars with a bathroom smell a bit ripe.
> Cars are freedom

Only for the wealthy, and the car is the most expensive form of transportation that only the relatively wealthy have access to. For everyone else not wealthy enough to own a car the over investment in car infrastructure has made life worse and made them less free, as the under investment in transportation alternatives limits their access and ability to travel.

BBC's new season of race around the world featured Canada this year, and contestants were staggered at the lack of public transportation options, forced into illegally hitchhiking rides to finish the race. Such is the dearth of transportation options for people who do not own a car.
I certainly do this with code. Sometimes I am working well at the computer, but sometimes I go walk in the woods for a few hours and go over architectures in my head, probing for details I might have missed that would change the design.
There is an absolutely gigantic market for computers (and the monitors to go with them), it's almost impossible to do any kind of business without them.

VR is not there and maybe never will be.
Airpods were handed to Cook on a platter, honestly. It doesn't take a market savant to realize apple can make a killing selling the ever popular and sexy earpod in bluetooth form. Once the battery technology was available to resell the same earpod but with bluetooth it would have been made no matter who was CEO.
Yes, but I thought that this was long ago, and since then, saying this got... cheesy.

My daily driver now is a Windows 11 Alder Lake desktop that I assembled last year, but I still keep my prior machines in working order because neither virtualization nor emulation can hold a candle to execution on real, physical hardware.

Specifically said prior machines are:

* A Windows 7 Sandy Bridge desktop.

* A Windows XP Pentium 4 Northwood desktop.

* A Windows 98SE Pentium 2 laptop, with a Yamaha XG MIDI sound card.

Microsoft and Windows are downright legendary with their commitment to backwards compatibility, but that becomes even better with access to many versions of Windows and the hardware of their times.

Linux would not satisfy my needs and desires in any of my machines, let alone my daily driver. I don't have the time nor desire to faff around with dependency hell and terminal voodoo and maybe get something that half-works (which will immediately bork to a stiff breeze) when Windows instead will Just Always Work(tm) and get me going.
Meaning it's basically already dead.
My company is instituting a similar policy in July.

Half my team, including my manager, do not live in a city with an office. Real curious how this will play out.

I don't mind an occasional on-site day when there is a purpose, but LMFAO if you expect me to commute in on days where I will mostly be dialing in to calls or doing solo work, reaping zero benefit of face-to-face time.

Seems like they are setting up for a reckoning of some kind.
> you get to wait 30+ min for a train

That's an implementation detail of a very old and underinvested system.

In contrast with Vancouver's automated skytrain, waits for trains are typically 2-4 minutes.

There are many different environments in the U.S. I grew up on an isolated farm in the midwest, where the nearest neighbors were miles away and the closest shopping some thirty miles. Access to cars gave me, compared to the horse era of my great-grandparents, access to wide swathes of urban culture, not to mention mind-expanding forays to locations in adjacent states beyond any alternative transportation. Without the auto, I would have lived a much more conscripted life, likely never leaving my home state for a life spent roaming around the world. The situation for the current generation in my home town has not changed at all.

On the other hand I lived more than a decade in sites in East Asia, including a long stint in Seoul, and never drove once. The public transportation there largely suffices to meet the needs of the majority of the population, although personal automobiles became increasingly popular in Korea from the 1990s. Within the confines of Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore cars are absolutely less necessary, and I would be content not driving.

Different environments require varied means of transportation, and among them the personal automobile has its own valued place.
That's great to hear! Looking forward to it.
You’re paying in euros. Which means you’re probably from a small country which also partially subsidizes infrastructure cost.

You’re also, in the context of the macro population, not using as much bandwidth as you would if people stopped relying on physical connections.

The weather dependency depends on your distance from the tower.

That’s not what I’m talking about? I’m talking about a coordinated jamming attack on cell towers in an area. Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it’s something that the intelligence community is unaware of as a possibility.

If the majority of the population only had cellular comms, the chance of this attack goes up to devastating effects.

I don't know. With the plethora of compiler flags that TSC has that can dramatically alter how TypeScript works and where and when it looks for type definitions, I don't think one can really say that cross-project TypeScript setups are predictable. At least, I know I have spent many, many hours playing whack-a-mole with this page (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-option...) while trying to get various projects integrated with mine.

It's also concerning just how much TypeScript has in it that is specific to just JSX. I mean, how did it work out that React got to get special treatment with the TS compiler? Can any source transforming project get that kind of treatment? That's exactly the sort of thing that should have been delegated to plugins.

Nobody is arguing against car usage in the country side. People are arguing against car dependency in cities and suburbs.
You're still way ahead of the game compared to so many American families. Most of my neighbors have more cars than licensed drivers at home.

We aren't going to eliminate cars in my lifetime (hopefully I've got a good 40 years or so left) but if we can get more households going car-light that's still significant progress.

Except rural electrification is a thing and putting a fiber cable on the same poles is not expensive.

The reason you’re seeing that happening is because most states ban electric companies from also providing internet.

I live in a rural area. My state doesn’t ban this. My internet comes from my electric company.

> I'd call this the opposite to "lacking agency on one's life".

It's not though, is it? Given that we in the United States need to earn money for everything rather than have meaningful social welfare programs means that our agency is simply "earn the most amount of money so maybe you can have a few years of peace in your 80s." which I think is the opposite of meaningful agency of one's own life.
Ask the sales folk on cockroach to re-create their own benchmarks for you. They won’t be able to.
Some have apparently downvoted you, but I think you make a good point.

The workers may have rejected the onsite companies such that it is difficult to fill the expensive offices. But also, it is likely that the COVID forced out-of-office situation has caused companies to re-evaluate the value of prime office locations.

Fashion is a self-reinforcing feedback loop. If the scenario is visible and hyped, others will believe they must follow it to be relevant. And then it becomes stronger, and effectively relevant. Soon every real US finance company needs a prime Manhattan office... unless it's a commodities company, in which it must have a prime Chicago location.

Aside from inflating finance company performance via tax laws, I don't think politics really has so much to do with this. Actually, the global upward wealth redistribution policies do mean that a smaller group has a more difficult time finding places to park money, so that indeed does inflate propertly values.

Apple users pay for the integration in the Apple ecosystem, lack of spyware, and quality of the physical device. They aren’t looking to run windows or Linux or anything like that.
VR will find some useful applications. It won't replace the smartphone, though.

Zuck is pushing it because they don't like Apple and other hardware vendors putting limitations on them in terms of privacy or anything else and figure if they own the next platform they can eliminate the middleman. Zuck doesn't have any other idea for "the next big thing." He's dragged Apple into releasing a product before it is ready, if it is ever ready as a mass consumer thing.

I'm not sure I follow your logic to say sales taxes are not regressive. And I don't think a strawman is the right argument for it.

It is regressive and it's clearly so because someone living, for example off minimum wage, will have no money (or very little money left) by the end of the month for savings or investment. Where has all this money go? It's gone to pay for goods and services. This isn't just for minimum wage incomes but it's generally also the case up to the median household though obviously the higher you go the less you need to spend in proportion of your salary in VAT. And that's the key difference, someone that's on top of the earning category will pay little in proportion of their earnings in VAT no matter how you slice it; because they always have money left for savings and investment! It's true that overall they're going to be paying more VAT but not more in proportion to their income. And this gets even worse when it comes to the top wealth as most of their "income" is through capital gains which tend to be taxed much lower.

VAT is however as you say an efficient tax. But I believe we should consider putting exceptions on certain products (such as basic foods and books) to ease the burden on low income earners.

Also capital gains taxes tend to be embarassingly low in most countries and the excuses given are, imo, quite speculative. As many economists have calculated people don't actually "fly off" until taxation is rather high, times and times higher what we tax either capital or income.
I remember there's a level in Wolfenstein 3D where there's a window and, through it, you see a green field and blue sky. As a kid, I really wanted to go through that window and escape this maze where I have to kill nazis and pick up jeweled golden crosses.

That escape would exist, and it would be called Minecraft. But, at the time, in the maze I had to remain. :c

It frustrates me that nobody seems to think about the cascading effects of subsidizing roads and highways with taxes.

The heaviest users of highways are large shipping trucks and through our taxes we're all subsidizing business models that rely on that infrastructure.

Think about how local businesses, like local farms, are disappearing left and right because they can't compete on pricing and convenience. How much more competitive could they be if we weren't all charitably subsidizing infrastructure largely used by their competitors?
Yeah it’s pretty dark when you think about it
Yeah, I gotta just do that as well - convert to using GPT-4 entirely by rate and by API.

I use the plugins and new features on ChatGPT though, and it's nice to have a single interface to use 3.5-turbo for comparison, Code Interpreter once in awhile, etc. So I'll probably just keep it. It's $20/month, after all.
I don't want to get grabbed on a side street and beaten but... Rust is language designed to solve a process problem (bad buggy code) with a straitjacket language approach. It is pedantic to the point of being unreadable and in it's own problem domain (system, embedded and up) has been ticking the wrong boxes.
Zig is substantially better yet I think a better language is still around the corner. Having said that, you absolutely can't go wrong mastering C. Zig wraps C in a way that doesn't choke you on configuration issues. Zig's out-of-the-box support for many target's is a savvy decision too.

However, both Zig and Rust make some of the same errors so I will put my plea here for future language developers. How you work with Threads, Async, Interrupts are all implementation details. Please don't make them part of the language. A good Function type is sufficient to make elegant solutions that do not require language support.
Yes, but would it have been done as well?

What did he get wrong, out of curiosity
I think we'll have to see what the demand for living in big/dense cities looks like in light of at least somewhat reduced demand for living there because of employment. Certainly, there's some demand--especially among younger people in the college-educated demographic.

But it's less obvious what tradeoffs people make in general to the degree that employment isn't part of the equation. I certainly never lived in a city when my company was located well outside.
I'm not denying they are great at other aspects, but that's a point which is independent of the points I made. Them using outdated design approaches in the past didn't make their products more reliable.
