Ability to reason is unexpected and hugely important skill to emerge out of large language models. Its effects on society and potential benefits are largely unexplored.

Asking, "Will ChatGPT take my job" is like asking if we'll have an economic recession next year. That question is too vague, broad, and general to give a meaningful answer. The Jobs Impact Quotient will introduce an objective and systematic way to think about this problem.

Re:Ask HN: Why do we need central bank digital currency (CBDC)?
on Friday September 09, 2022 @10:44AM (#32779859)
This is the piece that complicates my thinking about CDBC and digital transfer systems. What UPI does is seamless and instant transfer of Indian Rupees between parties and it is widely adopted. So why would India need, or benefit from additional CDBC? I can see how CDBC's instant transfer scheme would benefit the US which does not have digital transfer systems that are both instant and close to zero-cost.
Ask HN: Why do we need central bank digital currency (CBDC)?
Many countries', including the United States, central banks are trying to figure out Central Bank Digital Currency (CDBC). This move has accelerated after China introduced its digital currency (e-CNY).But why do we need a digital currency when most of my transactions (presumably true for most people in a modern economy) is digital? I receive my salary via a bank transfer, make payments in...
Re:Ask HN: How to remember technical topics which you don’t use/refer ...
on Saturday June 11, 2022 @06:55PM (#31709279)
I have had the same problem and I worked on it with a workflow of reading something today, making a note of it in a notebook (handwritten works best for me) and revising it the day after. The hand writing part makes me bio-mechanically engage with the material and finally reviewing my notes the next day forces spaced repetition. A nice side-effect is that after a few months when I am just flipping through my notebook I remember something that I had forgotten.
I use this for technical webpages that I read, business concepts (e.g. I am reading about `Yule’s Law of Complementarity` or new technical concepts (e.g. NestJS).
This works for me and I stumbled upon this workflow for myself after trying out a lot of other things that did not work for me.
Re:Ask HN: Are you hanging out in the metaverse?
on Saturday June 04, 2022 @08:04AM (#31619374)
So the answer for me is, I am not sure. I have a Oculus 2 and often "log in" and check it out. I use it primarily for entertainment purposes (like visiting world cities etc.). But I haven not have not purchased anything in the meta verse. Is that considered hanging out in meta verse or is that just old-fashioned VR?
My point is it is not clear to me what is meta verse and if it is supposed to be different from VR. I would love to read what other write about their experiences.

Re:We don't show typing status
on Wednesday June 01, 2022 @09:09PM (#31590145)
This article touches on something that I have been recently thinking about - remote work vs. async work. Remote work is in vogue these days but a lot of these companies don't allow or encourage async work. They equate remote work with async work but then institute tools like slack which are antithetical to async work. Typing indicators are one such way where slack encourages synchronous work.

Disclaimer - I have started reading this but have not finished it completely. Having said that, it looks very exhaustive and well written and well worth my time to finish it. A bit of feedback to the OP about the page though - the left and right content areas introduce clutter, IMHO, and make it hard to remain focused. But thank you for putting together this resource.
Ask HN: If Web3 just a P2P database is it incapable of fulfilling its promise?
HN had an article about how web3 is just an expensive p2p [1]. If that is the case then its core promise - of an internet where content is owned by its creators, can't be held hostage by tech oligarchs and can be moved anywhere its creator wants, is impossible to fulfill from the start. The data will have to be created by apps that are going to be coded by tech companies. What is from stoping...

Re:Your competitor wrote the RFP you're bidding on
on Wednesday April 06, 2022 @07:13PM (#30938622)
I ran a product management team in a fairly large B2B cloud-software company for one 5 years. Enterprise RFPs are a huge pain. And yes, we could immediately tell when one of the RFPs that we were working on was written by a competitor. We also tried to influence the RFP for a customer. When we gotten fairly large we had a dedicated group of people whose primary responsibility was to respond to RFP from a library of questions.
