abhinavstarts··on LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024
> High levels of reasoning are not required. LLMs are quite good at doing this, although they remain strongly limited by the maximum size of their context. This should really make programmers think. Is it worth writing programs of this kind? Sure, you get paid, and quite handsomely, but if an LLM can do part of it, maybe it's not the best place to be in five or ten years

I appreciate the author writing this article. Whenever I read about future of field, I get anxiety and confusion but then again I think other options too which were available to me was less interest of me.

I am now at the place that I still have the opportunity to pivot and focus on pure/applied mathematics than being in software field.

Honestly I wanted to make money through this career but I don't know what carrer to choose now.

I keep working on myself and don't compare myself to others but if argument is top 1% programmers will be required in the future then I doubt myself because I have still learn lot of things and then how about competing with both experienced & knowledgeable.

I was thinking about pin-pointing a target then becoming expert at it (by 10000 hrs rule)

I'm sorry to ask but today or in-general I am very confused which path/carrer to Target related to computing, Mathematics. Please suggest and give me your valuable advice. Thank you

abhinavstarts··on Happy New Year HN!
It's fun I know. I want to know why you multiplied them with 3 and then added by 16 & 12 respectively. Any relation
abhinavstarts··on Firefox Sync actually works
I have tried firefox, Vivaldi. But in terms of speed, when different sites load chrome fares better than them.

I'm back to using chrome.

I like customisation feature of Vivaldi but it lags in terms of speed. I still use Vivaldi on case basis (to read some sites' articles which have by default ads enabled)

abhinavstarts··on Ask HN: Will YouTube Premium subscribers ever be forced to watch ads?
I think you are right.

We will be squeezed step by step. Sad but it's going to happen.

I am still not premium subscriber, but something weird has been happening to me, whenever I click on want to watch older videos like 6-7 yrs old, it loads slower, also on such type of video, I always get grammarly ads. If I guess correctly it happens for around 20 sec then I see skip button.

I'm still using chrome browser.

abhinavstarts··on The illusion of living on the second floor
The 2012 Pritzker Prize was awarded to Chinese architect Wang Shu. Among his winning designs is the Vertical Courtyard Apartments, six 26-story towers by his architectural firm Amateur Architecture Studio built in Hangzhou.[27] "These towers were designed to house two-story apartments, in which every inhabitant would enjoy "the illusion of living on the second floor", accomplished by folding concrete floor planes (like "bamboo mats," claims the firm), so that every third story opens into a private courtyard. In the larger towers, the two-story units are stacked slightly askew, adding to the visual interest of the variegated façades (Goldhagen 2012)
