Hell yeah, at least i can go outside and walk around instead of the other house that is just surrounded by water. Also 2 weeks is definitely doable.

No internet would not be a big issue.

However no communication would be a bigger one. I think people have gone mad from less than a month without another soul to communicate with. In the end we are social animals and we need some kind of confirmation of this or you will lose it.

I think one month might be possible but definitely pushing my boundaries.

It never was (my opinion). You have this pdf. I copy it and now we both have it. Unlike your car, once i steal it, only i posses it.

In case of the pdf, the creator might feel victimized whereas with the car the dealership does not care anything and it's the owner that is victimized.

It's incredible how they always managed to frame digital "goods" as if they were physical.

I think the key component we still miss is training it without requiring ever increasing amounts of energy (and specific hardware). Right now it seems to scale horribly, probably why i see only small incremental increases on previous models.

I don't know if there's a difference on training on text or training on imagery but it's still the "neural" approach as i understand it so that probably makes it about equal.

Anyway this more about a speculative future than a prediction as to when (or if) this will take place.

You're very optimistic or pessimistic depending on how you look at it. After the release of chatgpt in 2022(?) i see some improvements in new iterations but i think it's all going much slower than the wild claims i have heard and keep hearing. I have yet to see an llm code something more than, say, 100 lines of code before it breaks or forgets/skips important details.

I'm no expert and i think they're great tools but i have no problems programming without them at this point. I would say that it gives me an answer on a question i have much quicker than searching for it myself or it gives me good input to make my search more efficient because i can describe my problem for which i do not know the solution instead of guessing as to what the solution direction could or should be.

To me, this is all going way slower than i think a lot of people claimed and i have yet to see the first ai that can actually make a decent version of tetris with a single prompt.

Barely manageable if it's your own code/project.

Something got out of hand or did you do some kinda recursive search/replace?

If people serve me these kinds of pr's to review depending on the mood i am in i just blind merge it and make them responsible for anything that happens after that or i just decline the whole thing. Impossible to deal with.

What a wholesome way to start the week.

Perfectly good steak wasted.

As funny and oddly satisfying as this is to watch these are pretty wasteful one-trick pony tools that take up a lot of space and are probably hardly ever used.

Edit your notes you say?

Yeah i put them immediately in cold storage.

It's just an evolution like going from punched cards to doing assembly, going from horses to cars or living under the sky or in a cave to living under a roof.

The essentials stay the same it's just that the building blocks to create something more advanced and more complex are now complete methods (or more) instead of input character by character.

T was a beautiful day wasn't it?

Maybe still a bit cold
