I don’t know where people are getting such low numbers. I’ve been a developer for 10 years. I care a lot about optimizing my workflow.

When copilot was released, I’d say I got a 15% increase. When ChatGPT was released it was like 50% at least and I can’t imagine going back. I remember how slow it was now.

My advice would be to force yourself to leverage it more or something. I hate googling now. I’ll find a page, copy the entire thing into gpt4 and the file i’m using with the error message and i have to do nothing.

How are y’all using it?

the history of exercise is just living. not that long ago, just living required constant movement. in my own childhood i had to do a ton of labor that was just living, not a job.

this is very good library that i was a little nervous about at first but i used it to build a custom command line tool for my business and it’s helped so much. it’s also very easy to create fancy cli features that make it feel like a real application.

there’s a zero percent chance people will be laid off and be happy. same with seeing people be laid off. there is no right thing to say

CEOs have feelings…

they traded innocence for humility and tolerance

i like your idea of improving effectiveness

population level data of social media is vulnerable to abuse by gov. social media is a poor input and gov will exploit ambiguity to their benefit.

I'd say very little good can come from this.

if the concern is abuse

not my intent, OP. the comment i replied to suggested gov instead. i made a comment about gov

there was as much reason to assume what i meant as much as what you assumed

i don’t think building your own framework is a good idea. react still has plenty of possible patterns to decide between even after making the decision to use it. a team should have decided upon ways to do stuff even inside of a framework/technology/language.

the benefits of vanilla implementation fix the problems that come with lack of training. like not understanding the low level api

training means so many things but in general, if it’s not “how we do work here” then it’s lacking at most orgs i’ve seen

Isn't this exactly the same as bringing in a new developer to work on your custom web app build that does everything differently to everyone else? he has to learn your strategies for routing, caching, state propagation, etc, and has no external resources to help him.

it does seem that way. i’d add that even with established technologies, a company should have a set way to do stuff that is trained internally. frameworks et al frequently have multiple strategies or you want to extend a framework primitive.

i assume this is sarcasm which is unhelpful.

the original claim was to trust no one. my comment was the government should also not be trusted.

people put on such a front on social i wouldn’t trust any analysis. especially not health related

if the concern is abuse, i wouldn’t give it to gov

these are interesting, thanks for sharing

i'm in favor of getting rid of weapons. if nuclear power is ubiquitous, i don't know how that would be possible though.

I think it's a by-definition thing at this point, that if a nuclear war occurs it will be due to irrational actors. The only rational thing to do with nukes is not use them.

There's no reason to think that's the end of the list.

i agree with both. my point is rational/irrational actor has nothing to do with it. i think retaliation would be irrational but many would make a case otherwise. a case could be made for initiating conflict as well if weighing against hypothetical lives saved. that's frequently how ww2 usage is justified.

What nuclear power plants have not been built, due to fears of thermonuclear weapons?

fair point. while i agree there is a distinction between weapons and energy, i think the branding applies to both. also, if we didn't fear nukes in the wrong hands, every country would have the tech for energy. wikipedia says 32 countries have nuclear power plants. i understand our fear, but i'd say it's also why nuclear power isn't ubiquitous.

Well, because there's been nothing to sample in the extremely short time-span of 80 years!

absolutely. very short time. there were ample opportunities to use nukes in warfare even in that short time. my comments were focusing on the fact we use hypotheticals of irrational actors when the only evidence we have is counter. there's no telling what happens going forward.

this thread is full of hypotheticals and blaming irrational actors for fear of nukes.

the only country to drop nukes on enemies is the US.

our fear of enemies using nukes has set us back half a century in energy.

why do we focus on hypotheticals when there’s no evidence for 80 years?

I wish I could use the mobile app before buying to see how it compares to notion. the notion ios app crawls.

no doubt i’d be a customer if it’s snappy. i’ve been thinking of building my own alternative for speed.

Makes sense why they would fuzzy search. Not all users can be expected to know Google fu.

So let mainstream use fuzzy and keep power user features. The big issue is power user support is gone for people with Google fu.

Ads or no ads isn’t really an issue for this because it’s such a small percentage of users that know Google fu.

Fair, investments too. That’s a recent trend.

Software businesses have one balance sheet item: cash.

Exactly, great explanation

The first time you implement, the default is to over abstract. The second time even more. By the third, you have a good enough idea of what you need to then build something robust. Each phase is faster.

Second iteration is almost always copy and paste of first with small tweaks. I’d rather that than some kind of conditional.

The best UI almost never fits the most convenient technical solution so we optimize for UI and then technical.

In software dev, my team has a “naive, naive, refactor” rule for this problem

I believe this is because not all derivatives are possible via calculation and mcmc gives close approximation. But I could misunderstand.

For sure. I’m not exactly sure why but I make more consistent progress towards working out. Maybe I’m more aware.

For instance, one day I’ll write my neck hurts today. When I see that again, I think about why. Then start thinking about posture. I start doing a simple yoga routine. Find one area is super tight. Write it down. I learn my hip flexors need work. Now I’m on that simple yoga routine with some martial arts kick drills and I feel phenomenal!

Mental clarity is greatly improved as well.

The biggest benefit to me is not redundantly thinking about things. When I do, it’s obvious because I see it in writing and can take action.

I tried a bunch of complicated frameworks for organizing. I ended up with as simple as possible.

I do this with two notion pages. One is Idea Inbox for any ideas worth exploring later. Then a second page called Journal which is a running list of entries for each day. I pretty much work out of this page and use Idea Inbox to remember what to write about that day.

I’ve surprisingly seen health improvements as well.

Same, by the time you need to explain how transformers use electromagnetism, they probably understand the basics of V=IR which is really as far as the analogy goes.

Stables just need a fixed income vehicle similar to bonds. Luna and UST is this and is taking off.
