He’s successful in spite of himself. He makes terrible decisions constantly.

The people who claim “real estate value!” have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.
The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:
Lol you confidently incorrect dumbass. Gravity is the problem of modern physics and you think you can boil it down to a simple force of attraction?
There are theories that it’s an illusion and theories that it’s caused by time itself. But you’ve gone and proved my point by basically saying, “SEE, APPLE FALL DOWN”
Oof calm down man. Breathe. Also, your gravity analogy works against you.
In the gravity analogy, someone would be claiming they understand 100% of what makes up gravity, “it’s the curvature of space time. That’s it. Job done. Go home quantum theorists”
If electrical signals are all that is required to give rise to consciousness, then a computer would be conscious. But since it’s obviously not, there’s a big gap there. One that is so far inexplicable. And yet you’re drawing conclusions about it.
Shouting about it doesn’t do anything.
So do electrical impulses always give rise to consciousness? Is my computer self aware?
Please explain how electrical impulses can give rise to a sense of self. The actual experience of consciousness rather than brains simply being organic computers.
Put another way, is my computer conscious? Why is it not, but I am?
It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.
Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.
The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve’s work improving the gaming experience, IMO.
Or classic torrents combined with a VPN.
Tesla under pays compared to other car companies.
Duck duck go has kept getting better and google has kept getting worse.
I find the results are pretty even now and often lean in DDG’s favour (but not always, obviously).
Because of this, I’ve set my default everywhere to DDG and give Google a whirl sometimes if that doesn’t work out for a specific search.
Nah. The managers prefer in-office and companies are addicted to “corporate culture” which they can’t control if you’re working from home.
It has nothing to do with firing people (unless you want the most competent people to quit) nor does it have anything to do with real estate (no company will try to help fix a collective action problem voluntarily unless the attempt gives good PR or profits)
I agree. I think people are just missing the point. It’s really far from being able to replace a worker.
It’s current capabilities at best can help that worker be slightly faster at certain things. It’s akin to a type of search engine.
It can generate simple stuff accurately quite often. You just have to keep in mind that it could be dead wrong and you have to test/verify what it says.
Sonetimes I feel like a few lines of code should be doable in one line using a specific technique, so I ask it to do that and see what it does. I don’t just take what it says and use it, I see how it tried to solve it and then check it. For example by looking up if the method it used exists and reading the doc for that method.
Exact same as what I would do if I saw someone on stack overflow or reddit recommending something.
I like it for certain techy things. I just used it to create a linux one-liner command for counting the unique occurances of a regex pattern. I often forget specific flags for Linux commands like how uniq
can perform counting.
And something like that is easy to test each piece of what it said and go from there.
As long as you treat it like a peer who prefaced the statement with “I might be wrong / if I recall correctly” it ends up being a pretty good aid.
My favourite one I’ve done so far: I put a motion sensor near where my cat goes every morning when she wants to look outside. This then opens the blinds enough for her to see.
This works better than a simple timer because the blinds are loud enough to wake us up sometimes and she doesn’t want to necessarily look outside every day.
Millennials, according to Wikipedia,
The generation typically being defined as people born from 1981 to 1996
After that is Gen Z and Gen Alpha starts somewhere around 2010.
So 1997 would be an older Gen Z
Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.
Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.
When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.
So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.
Candles were once a significant cost. But lightbulbs are incredibly cheap.
Food used to take a whole day to acquire.
We have things that even royalty didn’t have before, like air conditioning, out-of-season food, international travel, etc.
Capitalism sucks for sure. But it has given society a few benefits, and sometimes things do get significantly cheaper long term (but I’m generally skeptical about which items will go that way)
It’s fundamentally impossible to grant read access without copy. And you can always do whatever you want to your copy.
Otherwise, piracy wouldn’t be a thing.
Well no one can prove they have a mind to anyone other than themselves.
And to extend that, there’s obviously a way for electrical information processing to give rise to consciousness. And no one knows how that could be possible.
Meaning something like a true, alien AI would probably conclude that we are not conscious and instead are just very intelligent meat computers.
So, while there’s no reason to believe that current AI models could result in consciousness, no one can prove the opposite either.
I think the argument currently boils down to, “we understand how AI models work, but we don’t understand how our minds work. Therefore, ???, and so no consciousness for AI”
