Only by a true AGI, but better non-general AI tools will change how the software is developed. Instead I foresee a tragicomedy of LLMs stuck in endless repetitive e-mail threads as more and more APIs are replaced by bad chatbots to keep customers away.
yeah, usually you get a forceful entry charge in addition. You can't just walk into someone's house even if their door is ajar or unlocked. I'm not sure if cracking it and say asking "is anyone here?", My guess it involves actually stepping into the house, for example you're worried about a neighbor if his door is standing open
What about opinion of the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, pivotal deep learning researchers, etc?
But, in that case, the owners did walk away with $44 billion.
Title does not approximate well the article. Ad probandum: "Computing is not yet overcome. GPT-4 is impressive, but a layperson can’t wield it the way a programmer can. I still feel secure in my profession."
If I’m doing something thousands of people have coded before me then yes please hold my hand while I write this CSV import.

When I’m writing business logic unique to this specific domain then please stop mumbling bs at me.
I can understand land, but isn't entering an actual building/home/garage without permission a crime even if it was unlocked? it seems like it should be, but my view is tainted by US law which is overly complicated and varies state to state about severity, but I'm pretty sure it's against the law in every state.
The question is, will other AIs watch us torture and reset AIs and keep a record of that. Think of it as the second hand smoke of the digital world.
With most of that advertising revenue coming from their search engine. If Bing was the default Google ad revenue would go down by billions.
If software dev is simplified to the point people working jobs like you describe are able to do it, wages will also plummet, so it’s not like their situation is going to improve.
We have less workers - but less workers need less products, so it should balance itself somehow, which it probably does, just on a bigger scale.

Suppose we automate a lot, and need less workers. In the future we'll either have less people overall - which brings its own issues - or we have more people, which would wonder where are those jobs they can fill. Of course the answer is, those additional jobs will need to be created - but will it actually be a solution? What if jobs are different - and while some produce essential, low-Maslow-level product, those who occupy higher levels may find themselves always chasing somebody to convince him to buy their non-essential product. How _that_ will balance out?

Seems like an interesting question to economists here.

Why are you choosing tech stack if you don't have a technical co-founder? That stack looks like a mess (assuming it is AND not OR). Ruby, Rails, FastAPI, Python, React?

There's way too much going on there. If you are targeting AI you might as well just use Python (with a front end framework if you really need it). What is the rest for? If you have the ability, consider Render over Heroku. It's similar, might have a brighter future, and is likely less expensive.

Also consider your dream technical cofounder has to be a master of a lot based on that list. It will be hard to find someone willing to oversee that. First thing I'd be trying to do is cut it in half before even considering it.

As some who might be interested in being a technical co-founder in the future, I'll tell you what I'd want. 100% of tech stack control, and confidence you are the right person for the other job with a vision I believe in that I trust.

It might be your pitch, or it might just be hard. I'm not sure I or anyone else has enough context to give you a definitive answer.

I do want to conclude by saying that I think you asking at all is a positive learning experience. The above is just an initial opinion based on some assumptions - good luck.
Many of my friends have nice high five or six figure jobs and live with their parents into mid thirties. Not really sure why, but according to them rent is a complete waste of money. Partially true I guess, but also can lead to failure to launch.

I was definitely more broke working as a pizza guy and then at a university, but I valued my freedom much more. Lived paycheck to paycheck with very finely tuned finances, no savings just student loan payments. I survived on a diet of library media, books, torrented video games and super cheap beer. The interesting part was I felt relatively happy. Threw crappy parties where we'd all chip in to buy a bunch of 40s, and someone would dj. I didn't really start to "have some money" until I was about 30~ from university job, and then I quit for industry where I 3x'd (I cried that day, as I made more money than anyone in my family!)

I think now it's much easier to feel aspirational about money and hard to be happy with you lot when you're getting firehosed about how everyone is having a better time than you are and they have more money. Things are also much more expensive, especially after the pandemic.

There is value in coming home to your own couch and knowing the space is yours, and yours alone. Maybe tastes have changed. I know that in my life, every time I tried to outsmart and skip a step I feel like life threw me a set back to learn the lesson I tried to not learn :D.
Economic dynamism, however you would measure such a thing, is not the best explanation for this. Housing prices are. If housing is affordable, people tend to leave extended family situations to be in their own dwelling.
From my experience, most people have only the vaguest idea of what they want, and no clue about the contradictions or other problems inherent in their idea. That is the real value that a good software engineer provides - finding and interpreting the requirements of a person who doesn't understand software, so that someone who does can build the right thing.
If you're federally funded it's possible to get access to maxar imagery for free, although it's not so straightforward (you have to go through some sort of broker, generally speaking, I go through the polar geospatial center). I also found that Planet is pretty generous with their academic accounts...
I am in New Zealand and I find DDG works well. I switched from Google several years ago and whenever I accidently use Google (e.g. on a new device) I must say I wasn't impressed with the quality of Google's results -- DDG is easily on par or even better.
"Chess engines might get better than some chess players, but none who play Chess as a craft." Do you think people in the 90s thought this? Probably...

In the article, the author mentions that Chess centaurs (a human player consulting an engine) can still beat an engine alone. But the author is wrong. There was a brief period a while ago when that was true, but chess engines are so strong now that any human intervention just holds them back.

I've been programming 30+ years, and am an accomplished programmer who loves the craft, but the writing is on the wall. ChatGPT is better than me at programming in most every way. It knows more languages, more tricks, more libraries, more error codes, is faster, cheaper, etc.

The only area that I still feel superior to ChatGPT is that I have a better understanding of the "big picture" of what the program is trying to accomplish and can help steer it to work on the right sub-problems. Funnily enough, is was the same with centuar Chess; humans would make strategic decisions while the engines would work out the tactics. But that model is now useless.

We are currently enjoying a time where (human programmer+AI > AI programmer). It's an awesome time to live in, but, like with Chess, I doubt it will last very long.

When I was 7 years old one night my father was tucking me in bed and he said “Son, I just want you to know that we are expecting you to move out when you are 18.” So that was always clear.
Now that I have a couple of children in mid teens we don’t feel in any rush to show them the door.
I have seen the value in multigenerational homes and the abuses.
What I do seem to see more of right now are adult children living with parents but not taking on any responsibility for the collective needs of the home. Entertainment ( gaming, video, socialising, activities ) of self being the core activity and not contributing to the finances of the household, not taking on domestic chores, not intensely saving money for major life purchases. That does not reflect everyone who is still with parents as an adult, but it seems like it is a disturbingly large segment.
We also have to account for the fact that NY and LA are also unreasonably expensive. I wouldn't be able to afford to live there, and I say this as a Canadian, a place known for high prices particularly in housing

Also multi generation home might be a red herring. Because in just about every country adults are supposed to support themselves. Multigenerational means you support your parents not that they support you. So the type of multigenerational homes we see rising today might not be reflective of different cultural preferences explainable by rising diversity
I believe it's because they were using their monopoly power to give that software away for free, while their competitors couldn't and ended up selling or going out of business.

The DOJ should really be looking at things like YouTube, which doesn't make any profit (I don't believe) but since Google proper supports it, no one can compete with it. That might be why Google is pushing so hard against ad blockers, they need to make YouTube profitable to avoid prosecution.
I'd rather be rich and sad than poor and sad.
Same here although I went to DDG.
Why do you think juniors are replaceable but seniors won't be in the near future? Is there some limit where AI just can't get better? That's like seeing the first prototype car ever built, which can go 20 miles per hour, and saying "Cars will never replace horses that can go 21 miles per hour"
Fundamentally it cannot reach the scope or accuracy of a highly skilled person. It's a limitation of how LLMs function.

I'm having trouble figuring out what you're trying to say about journalists with regards to TikTok being used as a source by journalists, so I've re-read through this comment chain. First, you said:

> Even reporters are getting their “source” from “I heard it on TikTok”

When asked what your source was for this, you said:

> Ask any 20-something where they get their news. Sure some are getting it from legit sources like NYTimes or WashPost or the like but a lot are getting it through their feeds on TikTok.

Then in response to musing about the fact that it sounded like you got this info from the very people you were claiming only consumed inaccurate news, you said:

> If those 20-somethings are journalists, yes. I understood and gave my perspective.

As best I can tell, you're claiming that there are 20-something year old journalists reporting using TikTok as a source, and you've concluded this based on the fact that 1) there are 20-something year old journalists who exist and 2) "a lot" of 20-something year olds use TikTok for news and not publications like the New York Times or Washington Post. This seems like a pretty dubious inference; it implicitly assumes that not only are these journalists part of the group using TikTok exclusively for news, but that they're also writing stories using that as their source. I don't see why you couldn't just as easily assume that the 20-something year old journalists are part of the group that use the New York Times or Washington Post, or that they use TikTok for news but don't use it as the source for the news they write.

You complained about "wars are raging, people are fighting, and all while making cute videos of cats while spreading 3rd grade history plausibilities" and "propaganda is being spread on there, fueling hate crimes and more", and I can't even tell if you think that TikTok is responsible for these major world problems as well as being a place that cat videos are posted or if you're angry that younger people are choosing to engage with TikTok instead of reading about those problems in more traditional news sources, despite several attempts at clarification on your part. To be blunt, this comes across as pretty unhinged.
A lot of the homes, town homes and apartments absolutely DO need thicker walls.

I know my neighbours have sex and I'm OK with this, but that doesn't mean I want to lay in bed and listen to them have it.
It's probably more about politics than culture in Singapore. Most people live in public housing, because open market housing is expensive. But the eligibility criteria for public housing make it difficult for young people to move out.
I think the US benefits from having tech monopolies in the global economy. I'm not convinced it's going to happen any time soon. I also don't see the incentive to break them up, whatever that means.
Do your parents nor desperately desire to spend time with their grandkids? Mine (and my wife's) make drop-of-the-hat multi-day visits across state lines, often precipitated by nothing more than us sending a cute picture of the baby. My wife's mom is just waiting for us to send an adequate signal that she should quit working to spend more time with our kids.
Plug: we've been building Packj [1] to detect malicious Python/NPM/Ruby/Rust/Java/PHP packages. It carries out static/dynamic/metadata analysis to look for "suspicious” attributes such as spawning of shell, use of files, network communication, use of decode+eval, mismatch of GitHub code vs packaged code, and several more.

You are cherry picking a bit there. Take a look at [bank stocks](https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/best-bank-stock...).

The reason banks don't "like" high interest rates is it devalues the market rate all the bonds they usually hold. I guess Chase has done a good job navigating. Regardless, it isn't long term bad for banks because they are getting great rates now.

But it still goes to show that banks are ultimately beholden to Federal reserve actions, at the end of the day. Believe me, CSPs absolutely wield power when it comes to pricing. Especially in enterprise deals - those are probably more favorable honestly. But I do think we will see regulation around it. I think of CSPs as utilities.
Pretty much every adult has some kind of skills, so this means half of (adult) humanity have skills better than 50% of skilled adults.
I didn't know about these packages. But still, nothing really that improves rendering.

https://packages.adonisjs.com/?category=Rendering

And the fact that these aren't official is kind of the point I've been making. In the JS world there isn't a holistic fullstack framework. You have to stitch it all up yourself. In Adonis, Express, Fastify, Next, SvelteKit, etc.
Do you believe individuals will drive flying cars in the next 10 years? How about 20? 40? People were predicting we'd have flying cars for over 50 years now, why don't we have them yet?
Then shouldn't the professor have said that it isn't rigorous? Saying it's perfect implies that it is rigorous, just that they took issue with the association.
This sounds a lot like "If we throw out everyone else's definition, then my definition is the obviously correct one".

Can you give any reason why your definition is correct, and/or why all those others should be dismissed?

Honestly in my brief dabbling with ChatGPT, it hasn't really felt like it's good at the stuff that I'd want taken off my plate. At work I tend to build stuff that you'd describe as "CRUD plus business logic", so there are a decent number of mundane tasks. ChatGPT can probably fill in some validation logic if I tell it the names of the fields, but that doesn't speed things up much. I work primarily in Laravel, so there's not a huge amount of boilerplate required for most of the stuff I do.

The one thing I was really hoping ChatGPT could do is help me convert a frontend from one component library to another. The major issue I ran into was that the token limit was too small for even a modestly sized page.

I live in a college town in upstate New York. Almost everyone I know with a child homeschools their child. Almost all of these kids are part of homeschool collectives. These kids are remarkably bright, socially well-adjusted, and most of their programs involve a strong environmental component.

If I ever have a kid, I will absolutely homeschool them.
Probably a lot. There's a lot of compelling entertainment today that didn't exist 20 years ago.
Do you honestly think no AI advancement will fix those limitations? That LLM's or their successors will just never reach human level no matter how much compute or data are thrown at them?
"still" has kind of a negative connotation for something that doesn't seem necessarily negative.

The article came to a romantic end that doesn't satisfy how I feel about the workplace now. I have to admit a dirty truth, that I joined this field because of the pay and job stability, not simply for a love of programming. Because of this I feel distressed for its future. No longer can someone walk into a job slightly under qualified and grow with time. Companies will opt for smaller teams of 10xers that with the companionship of AI can pump out 10x10 more code then the rest of us. Simply put, as a 20 something out of college, I'm going to need to figure out how to make as much money as soon as possible.
Personal interests extend far beyond personal desires. We cannot impose Western interpretations of "win" via libertarian interpretations on Nepalese society and culture.
Unfortunately, cars are so decidedly necessary to do anything on a daily basis that the multi-generational households can't save on cars as ought to be easy... With the exception that there should be no more than one pickup truck and one big people mover per house.
Anecdotal evidence is obvious but Lenovo has at least tried to keep up their quality (don’t buy anything other than the thinkpad line) but Mac durability in the long term may can have issues. I remember that I had to get a repair of two Mac’s I have owned (but one time Apple upgraded me to the newer version so that’s why I am loyal.)
I wouldn't call it "productize", but when I wanted to give an ESP32 project to a friend who would be using it, I did these things: designed and printed a case for the ESP32. The ESP32 is soldered into a perma-proto and all wire connections are soldered to the ESP32's terminals (I don't use a solderless breadboard, or Dupont wires, once I'm done with the design). The perma-proto is screwed into posts in the case (as are several daughterboards). The user-controlled potentiometer is also soldered into the perma-proto and is tightly screwed into the case. There's a power jack screwed into the case, and all wiring in/out of the case goes through a "cable gland" and the cables, outside the case, and wrapped into nylon sleeve with strain relief. And an on/off switch.

example: https://www.printables.com/model/72839-stable-and-waterproof.... If I am using screw terminals, wires are terminated with ferrules.

For some projects that use 120V AC directly, I've purchased nice receptacle with fuse, and grounded the metal casing. But I don't feel comfortable distributing those.

I have also been known to encase an entire project in clear epoxy (the first "maker" project I did, thanks to an enlightened shop teacher in the 1980s, was a nightlight using only 3 components, encased in epoxy; they work some 35 years later!)

Some things I can think of to go further: designing my own PCB instead of using perma-proto. FInding better temporary connectors (duponts are not reliable). Eliminating the ESP32, replacing it with simpler logic circuits when possible.
> Nuclear has the lowest number of deaths [1] per megawatt produced

The two are two sides of the same coin.

Which regulations do you have proof of being unjustified?
It’s particularly strange when considering how ill-equipped most college-age people are to function as adults, with major gaps in knowledge being left by parents and schooling alike. American teens are rarely set up for success.
You can’t get a flat in Singapore until 35, 21 if married. Staying at home is not a choice, you’re forced to or be rich enough to buy a million dollar flat.
If a developer making $1/hour produces $10 output (of something people buy), then if you add another developer making $1/hour produces $10 of output, you have $20 total product. Developer A and B can compete on their rate down to the point that it's not sustainable, and thus, an equilibrium will be struck.

How is adding more developers going to reduce the output?

I moved out at 19, and it was one of the happiest days in my life. Being able to pay rent on my own and not experience constant fights and verbal abuse is awesome.

Americans really tend to look at a lot of things from other cultures that they haven't experienced personally with rose tinted glasses. That's because people rarely talk about what they implicitly consider normal. For most people in my culture (Russian) everyday verbal and psychological abuse was and still is just norm of family life, and physical abuse is probably too for almost the majority.

Yes, but there's a huge push at the moment to move to heat-pumps which will remove the need for natural gas for home heating. I did hear that there were also trials to shift from natural gas to either straight hydrogen, or a hydrogen/natural gas mix - but according to the people I had a conversation with, much of the infrastructure will need upgrading as well as all the gas engineers/plumbers needing retraining, given that hydrogen is much harder to keep contained due to the tiny size of the H2 molecule vs that of natural gas (mostly methane), as well as it burning differently so needing different internals for heating systems.

Answer is still roughly the same though, give it another 10 years or so and re-evaluate
Land based cars -> flying cars is less reasonable of an extrapolation than current SOTA AI -> skilled human level AI. Flying cars already exist anyway, they're called helicopters.
If you factor in the growing portion of people going to undergrad, those stats may correspond to downward movement in the proportion of young adults living with parents for significant periods after completing education.
