I was wondering if anybody has any articles they could share by AI/ML experts on how software engineering will change and the knowledge gaps that need to be filled. I found an article by karpathy on software 2.0 which is pretty old. https://karpathy.medium.com/software-2-0-a64152b37c35Any other new ones by researchers? Just trying to plan ahead and understand what the future might look like.
Are there any videos on why and how these researchers strongly believe that AI systems will outperform humans to achieve AGI?
Building an LLM model consists of defining its "architecture" (an enormous mathematical function that defines the model's shape) and then using a lot of trial and error to guess which "parameters" (constants that we plug in to the function, like 'm' and 'b' in y=mx+b) will be most likely to produce text that resembles the training data. Copilot can already do this and it's ok at best. Magic dev guys seem to be using your repo as a training set to make better predictions on the output based on the context window. So are the systems "improving" is kinda my question.
I am quite puzzled by this. I am just a junior software engineer so forgive me for not understanding the full scope of AI or software engineering as a whole. But lately, with all the hype about Q* and a few AI experts claiming that programmers will be out of a job soon, I just find it remarkable that there are so many variances/differences in people's opinions on the capabilities of these...
I recently graduated about a 1.5 years ago. I'm 24 and I'm scared shitless about my future in software engineering. I don't have a formal CS education (failed out and switched to something completely unrelated) and I've graduated.Given the current job market, I can't lie if I did not have my current job at a decently sized ecommerce firm, I'd be toast. My anxiety levels about my future are...
I'm an IC here at a Canadian ecommerce giant early in my career.I initially started my degree in CS but failed out afterwards because of mental health and financial problems. I finished my degree though in something unrelated. I live in Canada.I'm thinking of going back and doing a second undergrad in CS which would take roughly 2 years to finish. I think promotions are limited at my company...
I'm a coward. There is no denying it but I've accepted this fact. Failed out of my university's cs program, ended up majoring in something totally different. Got a software engineering job at a big name company after internships and converting to full time. Now, having worked there for a year full time, I realize I don't know anything. My job is mainly just refactoring code and I hardly have...
I've been following ycombinator's YouTube channel for a while now and today, Michael Siebel and Dalton Cadwell talked about how being in SF is instrumental to be a successful founder as a result of the network effect. I can't move to SF because of TN visa restrictions (don't have a CS degree therefore can't work as an swe) but am I really missing out on a lot? I live in Toronto and I know the...
I screwed in undergrad. I got cocky, spent way too much time at hackathons trying to get internships and winning prizes instead of focusing on learning the fundamentals of CS. Got kicked out of computer science undergrad program, ended up finishing my degree in philosophy with a math and stats minor and have been working at the ecommerce Canadian company as an swe. Doesn't sound too bad does...
