wait just three more months and software engineers will be out of job on time.

humans are way better at managing big contexts than a machine. The human mind is way more complex than any AI model + infrastructure.

the point I see is that even if you automate all that is possible to automate, there are some core activities that can't be delegated to machines in order for a product to feel very good. May it be the design, or whatever: I don't have an opinion on which aspect must be curated by a human, but some aspect has to. Maybe this aspect is simply AI review and prompting, or AI infrastructure creation and maintenance... I don't know. But the point is that this part of production exists, and it's what makes a useful product something you want to buy more than another useful product.

this is about open hardware.

You really don't need to build a Kobo clone. By being open, you can fit your needs. If your needs are already covered by Kobo, that's fine.

I can't believe someone shares my point of view. We have already many non humanoid robots to do boring stuff (underwater maintenance, stuff like that). For some reasons people tend to think that for robots to do stuff close to humans, we need human like robots.

We do not. I want a swarm of insects-like robots to fight mosquitos. A snake one that fixes my pipe. A spider-like robot that cleans surfaces. Etc.

I use AI a lot but am not addicted to it. I know it seems something every addict would say, but simply it makes things faster. You can't really take responsibility for something it makes that you don't already know how it operates, or how should operate. That's the line between what you can sell to your client, or your boss, without it blowing up in your face when things go wrong. In theory everything I build with AI I can build by hand, but in many more days.

A builder is not addicted to their tools, but he won't certainly start a project without them, if they are available. Yet, he could work without some of them. Give a circular saw to someone that can't use it, and nothing good comes out of it. Give AI to a non coder, and nothing good (that lasts) will come out of it.

Yes, I was mostly agreeing with the article ;)

First year CD student excited to learn puts together a website, and more experienced guys makes a shitty comment that puts things into context. Then someone makes a funny comment mimicking its structure. Is that correct?

AI is a tool. Stop treating it as something different.

The value you can extract from a tool depends on your skill in using it, and knowing when not using it.

this study is not related to powerlifting or heavy activity in that sense, so it's not pertinent as a context, if anything it is pertinent to understand misinterpretations of the study.

this does not imply that words are a byproduct of consciousness.

That may be true without implying that words are a always a byproduct of consciousness. You can dream words.

read the study more carefully if you think it encourages powerlifting for the elders.

The study is conducted on 123 people.

this doesn't imply that words are a byproduct of consciousness.

That words are a byproduct of consciousness is a bold claim and requires some justification. I'm not implying it's backwards also for humans, but that the statement might not be true, and something else could be. Also, defining consciousness is hard.

For instance, you can dream words.

I think most people forget the graph-like nature of scientific research. You don't have n useful papers and m useless ones by themselves, you have an interconnection of those. There may be isolated cliques of uselessness, but there isn't a clear correlation between academia and private research.

Many ideas come from philosophy, which many find useless.

Heraclitus discovered change back in ancient Greek, I don't know where we would be in scientific research without that (deliberately ignoring the debate about the originality of what we know about Heraclitus work). I bet his contemporaries found his "research" useless.

Not entirely true. Many science is gatekeeped, as well as other types of information. May books require illegal services to be obtained, or money (when available). Information about facts is buried in a lot of misinformation. Free flow is very hard to obtain!

the real money is in the coding surrounding models to make them efficient at specialized tasks. Casual users want general purpose models, and AI chat apps will stay for them. Most programs can benefit from a specialized AI that can be local, and #programs >> #users.

moving around could be accomplished by traveling, in decreasing order by efficiency (by those who can, obviously):

1) cycling 2) walking 3) train 4) cars 5) airplanes

and the frequency could follow an exponential distribution.

Students need to be taught how to use AI apps efficently to learn. Their goal is not to solve problems, but to learn how to solve them. Let alone, they instead use AI apps to solve problems for them.

AI apps are very powerful for teaching. You just need to tell them to do that, and not to directly solve your problem.

they are two very different movies, especially considering all three of the matrix movies.

"tea" is a word that many use to indicate anything infused. But tea is anything that comes from camelia sinensis, while other beverages are more correctly called infusions. Camelia sinensis has caffeine.

you're partially right. It doesn't matter if they had specified the grams of coffee beans they used to produce those cups. It would have been better to specify both number of cups and how they were produced.

interesting! To me that's almost two cups for my moka.

thirty-one participants were moderate coffee-drinkers (CD, i.e., people that usually consume between 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day).

3-5 is moderate? To me, 3 is already high.

Also, sample size is pretty low and they're all Irish.

it's the barley cartel.

tea also has caffeine, although in smaller quantities. Maybe you mean that you don't care so you go by taste, just specifying because there's a common misconception about tea not having caffeine.

no, there are also many others.

Carcassonne is not very complicated, but when you start adding expansions it can become a bit complicated.
