It is all going great, we are becoming south Europe. Nobody will be willing to work for any price, and employers will have nobody to sell their products for any price. Enjoy.
Advanced chip manufacturing is so incredibly hard. The finance Bojos are clueless, again.
Like we have these billions of smartphones just sleeping all the time instead of running at 100% all the time.
But the whole point of personal computing is that you can do whatever you want.
It is the same old argument between centralization and decentralization. Yes, centralization is more efficient, but also the goals of centralized systems are ultimately wrong. So they are efficiently sailing towards the cliff.
But they are the smoothest commuters I have ever driven. Linear acceleration, super snappy for when you want to overtake, you never need a gas-station if have a garage.
I would take an electric over the camrys and crv’s any day.
I visited this year again. Almost none of the new cars were German. I did not see most of their latest models on the streets. And I definitely did not see a single German electric car.
They now have a dozen of brands some of them under the tech umbrella of Huawei that provides the info-entertainment and auto pilot and they are everywhere! And btw the assembly quality was now reaally nice.
No idea about their safety or longevity, but it was nice being driven in them
The restaurant then can broadcast the driver demand and delivery prize in their website. Drivers can be scanning all the restaurants in their area and decide if they want to take it or not. Restaurants over time will build lists of reliable drivers whom they will favor when matching.
There is zero cost of building matching systems (maybe 200$ worth of Claude subscription). Drivers and restaurants will be better off if they build their own ones. These centralized platforms need to die ASAP.
The young generation are raised on ipads and smartphones. They expect that each screen is a touchscreen.
If you watch a young kid interacting with a laptop you will see their confusion when touching the screen has no effect.
Where will people work on if both blue and white collar jobs go away? In brothels?
Value was destroyed.
The hope is that all these unemployed engineers can somehow generate value? Even if they do they need to generate enough value that would employ 4 engineers.
We all feel more productive. But did your rust rewrite or my fancy react dashboard produce more value?
But man some some times I wonder how desperately hungry were the people who made something edible out of the cocoa tree.
Instead of mph/kph the speed limit and speedometers could be on QuadraticSpeedUnits.
Your stupid brain thinks, oh I am just 10ish over the limit.
I am not happy with your decisions for the ide you sold me. I never was, I just coped.
The LLMs just enable everyone to build exactly what they need. And if that thing has an audience of one, so be it.
If you have some time available definitely worth it.
1. No guarantee that the universe tomorrow will behave as the distributions you used in your Monte Carlo today.
2. If the universe stats serving you 10 unlikely events in a row, is your model model wrong, or just 10 unlucky draws? If your model was correct and you start "correcting it" based on these 10 draws, you now made it wrong.
I fully agree that all models are wrong.
Their main usage is just replaying the past or encoding the modelers assumptions for the future.
But there is no way to know if a model is good or bad.
There would be if we had infinite universes.
Which is why at the end of the day why nobody trusts or blames the forecasting models, specially in all or nothing types of decisions.
Let’s say a guy got electrocuted while showering. I can say that the cause is the guy going for a shower. For others the cause is the electric wiring system failure.
In the past ui development was so hard and none of the app developers had the expertise or appetite to do it properly.
LLMs changed that overnight. A good engineer can build great UI for their app.
