First video game I remember playing. Dad worked at a warehouse for the local school district and when I’d go to work with him, he’d set me up on their IBM PC and let me play lemmings the entire day. Truly loved that game

Regardless of who or what writes it, readability and ease of understanding code doesn’t become irrelevant. If 50% of code is being generated by something else, seem like it becomes even more important

Good evaluation. Searle’s Chinese room argument always seems to hit a nerve with many on HN, with lots of outright diamissal. Whether or not it’s wrong, it’s intent is often just misunderstood. If I remember correctly Searle isn’t arguing against the possibility of a computational machine equal in function to a biological “brain”. So no real need to take it as a slight against ml/ai work. Searle’s intrests are in phil of mind and language, so his interest in questions of mind/consciousness and semantic meaning aren’t going to have too much to bear on applied ML.

You could be right. An estimated 180 million flew through Texas this year, twice as many as last year due to good weather up north. There were some efforts to make Austin a rest stop by planting milk weed in parklands. Anecdotally, saw big migrating swarms when driving on 290 on my way towards Junction.
