Re:The Age of AI has begun on Wednesday March 22, 2023 @10:48PM (#35269921)
My primary concern with recent advances in AI is the imbalance it will create. Most optimistic views on AI come from people already employed by the major players (OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc.), and one their main arguments is that while they acknowledge AI will displace numerous jobs, it will also generate superior ones. However, the main problem arises when these "better" jobs replace the lost ones, but are performed by fewer individuals. One developer will be capable of accomplishing the work of at least three, and the same applies to lawyers, analysts, and so on.

Re:My product failed on Tuesday May 28, 2013 @06:31PM (#5783301)
One problem i can see is you build an isolated system. People when look for a solution like inventory, hopes that in the future they can intregrate it into a bigger system. Someone talk in this discussion about ERP, but i think that build an ERP require too much resources and time, about all for an startup, but is desirable to have a product that have more than just an inventory system. I think you have two ways, first integrate your system with some big alternatives of market [some one mention shopify] or create more systems and integrate them [consider see openerp or openbravo]...
Hey man, i just found a problem with Ruby. When i run the demo code with sinatra, tries to download dependencies with Bundler, i got this error:

Please change your source to 'https://rubygems.org if possible, or 'http://rubygems.org if not. You are trying to install in deployment mode after changing your Gemfile.

Re:Ruby is too slow for programming competitions on Sunday April 21, 2013 @02:12PM (#5585712)
There is a huge difference between Ruby and Go, in terms of performance. I wonder if anyone has any experience with Python, considering that both are interpreted programming languages.
