Rule of law, mate, rule of law. Lose that and you lose everything.

Even Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing to the republic, I don’t see why anyone else should.

Someone should tell them that the US Social Security system will run out of cash in about a decade.

If you have enough traffic then you’ll want to roll out new features gradually, and revert them quickly if despite your testing it causes trouble in production.

If you don’t have much traffic, and can live with having to redeploy to flip the switch, then fine, stick it in a config file.

But I clicked through expecting a defence of hard coding feature flags in the source code (`if true` or `if customerEmail.endsWith(“@importantcustomer.com”)`). I very don’t approve of this.

Office owner begs plebs to return to office.

…why?

What if that someone went out of business?

I don’t think you mentioned either competition or regulation.

Uv will manage python versions for you.

Which people?

I’m not sure anyone has fond memories of Clippy?

I’m curious… why do you think New Zealand might be less affected by an AGI disaster?

For that matter, what is an AGI disaster, in your view? On a scale of “China stole my job” through “why are there so many hurricanes and forest fires these days?” to Skynet?

Personally, I’m trying to max out my pension contributions and hoping for left-wing governments being in power when the time comes (because right-wing and centrist governments will roll over and give AGI powered big business what they want when the time comes).

The tech only ever gets better. It never gets worse.

The question is: how long until AI can handle the requirements and the specifications?

Months? Years? Decades?

That’s a wonderful double pun at the end.

This amendment won’t be passed, it is just some congressman sucking up to Trump (or Trump’s supporters).

On the other hand, Tesla shares are still up 64% since the election. I wonder what the lead time for publishing in the LSE’s blog is?

I’ll stick with lopsided time controls, or giving the weaker player a piece advantage.

What makes you think quitting would be enough?

Compelling as a player or as a spectator?

As a player, it depends on how good the AI is at chess. If it’s better than me, I’ll have no idea what’s going on. If it’s worse than me, that’ll leave me feeling frustrated. If it’s as strong as me, what’s the point? So… it doesn’t sound compelling either way.

If I realise something during lunch, and I don’t have my laptop next to me, I’ll write a note to myself on slack (which I have on my phone). No reason you couldn’t use a note taking app, if you remember to check it later.

When I commute, I commute by train. Leave yourself a voice memo, if you’re driving?

An AI capable of replacing all human software engineers will be capable of devising various superior programming languages. It will use them instead.

1. Keep notes.

Depending on context, that might be comments written on the ticket, a notes file (that I delete when I open a PR), or todo notes (with my initials) that I either resolve or defer to another ticket before opening a PR (and I have a `git todo` alias to find them all).

Partly this is just so I don’t have to rely so much on my memory. Partly this is communication to the rest of the team.

Sometimes I leave a comment on my ticket at the end of the day saying what I’d say about it in standup the next day. Which is good for me when I come back after the weekend, and good for the rest of the team if I spend a day or two off ill. It makes it easier for someone to pick up where I left off in my absence, if necessary.

2. Review my own PRs before I ask anyone else to.

If I can fix all the obvious nits before someone else looks at it, that frees them up to notice more fundamental issues that I’m blind to.

3. Commit early, commit often. Especially if I’m having a bad brain day.

My question stands: if it’s that cheap to build, why wouldn’t a big tech company build it? Or a startup? Why does a government need to get involved?

If it would cost only $15m, why wouldn’t Microsoft develop it and add it to Azure’s CDN as a tickbox feature?

(2016) but still relevant.

When I work in an office, I’m more productive when the other people on my team are also in my office.

If management make me come into the office and expect me to work with people who are working remotely or from a different office, I will bitch about it.

So presumably, sometimes when asked a question in another language the model should “think” in English? TFA doesn’t say either way.

- not having to worry about material things (including my health)

- everything just working, no paper cuts

If Germany is anything like Britain, I expect they will be in a worse mood come the autumn.

Nah, it’ll just add another log to the coming trade war dumpster fire.

I’m sure Russia, China, etc will be delighted.
