Reply by @X.Wallets on January 3: "AI can write programs per CEO Jensen Huang."

Follow-up post by @naval on January 3: "Calculators can do math per CEO of Texas Instruments." --- This exchange has been bouncing around my head ever since it happened. CEOs especially those who are investing heavily in AI keep saying stuff that does not align with you my experiences working with and building these AI systems to the point where I think that people are saying things to justify their own investment in technology.

This is a CEO selling themselves and their company nothing more.

Fwiw I don't think he's talking to you. My feed is filled with ai influencers getting all kinds of likes and comments, ready to declare AGI is here!

Hi! I made imgcat. I wanted to say how wonderful it is to wake up and find myself on the front page of hackernews.

Things are so hard right now in the pandemic and this has given me a little virtual hug.

Big thanks to the eng team at https://charm.sh/ who wrote the terminal library I am using and showed up with prs and great ideas.

Asana S-1 6 years ago

Ooof I'm on asana for the first time after using jira for 10+ years. I hate it. Asana is a generic workflow tool where jira leans towards software development. This means that every part of your process you need to create in asana then explain to your team this is the one true way to use asana.

Example Epics. A way to roll pieces of a project into a larger ticket describing that project. There's no concept in asana. So you have to hack it by doing sub tasks and manually adding the project to each subtask so it shows up on the board.

I built a better rss feed for reddit to use with Feedly.

Notable features: * Links to the content rather than the comments * Embeds a summary of the content * Supports images, gifs and videos * Extra query params (nsfw block, up vote limits) * Open source https://github.com/trashhalo/reddit-rss

How do 5 DotA players coordinate? They share information via voice?

How does a deep learning algorithm coordinate between 5 heros? I assume it's not 5 bots communicating over some channel but one bot acting on 5 heros?

He is operating in the mindset that the backend is just a dumb persistence layer with auth. If all the problems he is we solving fit into that world view than more power to him.

I'm a backend team lead for a travel company. To render that list of flights and hotels to the Android app it's not a database lookup. It's hundreds of soap and rest calls stitching together airline and hotel data from multiple platforms. This isn't something I can do on the front end. And even if I could I wouldn't want to replicate this logic between iOS, Android, web and our internal support portals.
