Are algorithms discovered or invented?

This joke is getting so old, we need to say thank you and let it go.

I think the trend we see is there will be a generalized engineering-category of LLMs and people maintaining them will just feed new frameworks/libraries/languages etc. documentations to training sets and those models will then happily answer questions about "new stuff"

What readings would you suggest for starters? Or which ones were most fascinating, essential to you?

Couple more of cracks in the online advertising industry and there will be a major pop of demand for software jobs.

I'd wager that 2/3 of software industry jobs market (number of positions and compensation figures) are built on online advertising industry. Now you tell me what is good or what is bad

Well, it's a show anyway, but in moments I described writers definitely had sth more in mind than just "Michael having a few good moments"

I can agree that if you look at the storyline as a whole, this theory doesn't make much sense, but these little hints here and there are always giving me second thoughts. Goes to show that art, even such low-key one as TV comedy, can really shine when you keep your head open to more interpretations than just the silver-plattered one.

Two particular moments comes up to my mind:

- Whole company going downhill and when Jim as co-manager got nervous about another Michael's "brilliant" idea of distracting people from work, he stuns him and audience with "They need this game. Let them have this stupid little game"

- Another dialogue with Jim implying that "That's what she said" lines are more self-conscious than everybody in the office thinks.

Scranton branch having one of or lone best finance numbers across whole company just makes me think Michael knew along what is he doing. This plot was never expanded in the show for obvious reasons.

I really liked the show for its light-heartedness and it's non-PC oriented comedy (which faded away as seasons went by), but there are also other interesting themes there, such as subtle hints from writers that Michael Scott putting up an act to actually make the most out of employees of Dunder Mifflin.

This is the stuff that keeps me on my toes, thank you bro

"(...) when it comes to Facebook, the rot is deep. It can’t be excised. It can only be replaced by something else, by a form of connectivity that treats people not as laborers or commodities, but as human beings."

Almost on point. Facebook has ingrained itself into socio-individual behaviour schemas. Social medias are likely here to stay for a long time and I don't see a company treating it's users as 'human beings' not 'commodities' being a front-runner to win a hypothethical future social media companies race; there are just no areas left that any rival company could simultaneously 1) exploit to stay profitable 2) make people use it.

There will likely be some decentralized services but that's all.

Too many words gotten from just typing 'sex'.
