I don't know, I go back and forth a bit. The thing that makes me skeptical is this: where is the training data that contains the experiences and thought processes that senior developers, architects, and engineering managers go through to gain the insight they hold?
Did you ever test drive the Drafts app? It is remarkably easy to build customized workflows, both editing and document processing, and is built to be glue between different document/message apps.
It's a little late for that now since I don't own a smartphone anymore but it looks like there isn't a Linux version so the usefulness to me would have been limited anyway.
I don't think your conclusion of "hitting the wall on intelligence" is warranted.
It makes more sense to believe that scaling has hit the wall on available text data to train on, and that to continue scaling, along with whatever emergent properties arise they need much more data than exists as text.
There are orders of magnitude more data as video, audio, and images and this is what they intend to use to continue scaling.
The accepted answer is not electrically illiterate in any way.
The upvoted answer, while it may be correct, doesn't argue for the existence of the phenomenon called "induced atmospheric vibration".
It may be that it's supposed to refer to corona discharge, which does make a sound ("atmospheric vibration"). But that sound is not the root cause of anything; it is just a side effect of no consequence.
It is a plausible hypothesis that "induced atmospheric vibration" it's just someone's misunderstanding (possibly of an explanation similar to what's in that upvoted answer), with some misstranslation being a contributing factor.
The two answers simply don't contradict each other.
government official had to make press conference just to tell people to stop spreading that nonsense you promote as "electrically literate" so that is that.
whole stack overflow question is bunch of nonsense, so why do we even argue about it?
I know in the late 90s, early 2000s they were Vignette shop, back when it was a Tcl application. Can only imagine their relief getting to carry over their tcl knowledge while no longer having to suffer with Vignette. I don't think I've ever heard anyone that actually liked Vignette.
I don't recall any groups using Vignette at AOL during that time. It may be that one of the acquisitions used it prior to being acquired, but again, I never heard about it.
CNN.com was definitely using the StoryBuilder part up until the 2005 redesign as it's noted in the source of each and every article, and there were some tell-tale droppings on the home page as well.
2) "System structure mirrors organization". I.E., it's an indicator of a fragmented and disorganized structure that's not likely to produce cohesive product results.
As much as I like to dunk on how messy things can be at Google I don't think this is a really good example. Apart from small startups I would be scared if you served all of them from the same base host.
The many domains is a problem because it suggests a many-teams approach to product development, and the more cooks in the kitchen, the more likely a repeat of Gemini 1’s rollout, which was a mess [0].
Basically I’m looking to see that Google cares about the meta-level user experience of finding, understanding, and using its products, and scattering key usage details around the internet is not a good sign. It suggests deeper process problems if a simple issue like this either didn’t get noticed or can’t get fixed.
As someone who's spouse is currently in their 3rd year of rehabilitation after TMJ (tempo-mandibular joint) reconstruction, let me warn you against any kind of chewing activity that involves either high direct pressures (ice, hard things that "crack", anything that resists biting down very much), or strong lateral forces (bagels, pizza crust).
We're about $60K in to her treatment. She's had the meniscus of the joints on both sides of her jaw surgically repaired and now is undergoing orthodontia to permit her jaw to safely re-align.
This after a year of excruciating pain (the TMJ was bone to bone contact), and a year of painful muscular rehab. Unless you are a maxillofacial surgeon or perhaps a particular specialty of orthodontia you are probably unaware of just how many muscles in the head have to re-learn how to work after TMJ problems.
The "straw that broke the camel's back" in her case?
I used to buy a pack of cashew nuts every day during lunchtime. One day I realized my jaw has started making a clicking sound and the muscle feels kinda loose. That was ten years ago; it's gotten somewhat better and I also learned to avoid that particular motion but never recovered.
Wishing good luck to your spouse with treatment and recovery.
Aside - so much for that touted improvements in US medical care bills. I've mentioned this before as a massive differentiator between Europe and US from what I can see from distance, and was shushed here on HN that only total losers get insurance that basically doesn't cover everything these days... 60k, wow, how many folks can't just fork that out of pocket and have to take a loan or just suffer till end of days?
I've had last year paragliding accident with both legs broken and badly bruised knee, underwent months of treatments, physio, tons of scans and still doing some hospital visits (ie had 2 MRIs few weeks ago). Cost? What cost? 3 weeks fully off work, salary kept coming 100%. This is in most capitalistic country in Europe - Switzerland, on basic health insurance (but accidents are 100% covered by employer's insurance by law here).
I was like that for several decades but after I retired I got better.
I'm fairly certain that, at least in my case, it was a form of hypervigilance and based in anxiety. I'm less anxious these days and hope to live longer as a result.
Although I do still have a better-than-average ability to know when to check what's in the oven for doneness. This "feels" much different, though - I'm completely unaware of the passage of time until something just says to me "that stuff should be about done now."
Python 3 is a hugely successful language and implementation, and almost no one regrets that it exists aside from a few noisy holdouts, and people who never liked any Python anywhere at any time.
I don't disagree that python3 is hugely successful, but that doesn't mean the Python 2->3 pain was necessary. Certainly many Python users started using it too recently to remember it though.
I saw a solid dozen Python 2 projects leave Python entirely across a couple companies back during that timeframe.
The Python ecosystem has been growing overall especially because of the success of things like Pandas, but a lot of backend/fullstack web app programming did move away from it and never looked back.
(Though you might say the more interesting question is: would they have moved away to things like Node for async/perf or JVM-stuff for "maintainability of old large codebase with lots of devs" issues? Maybe? But at this point Python has added in a lot of things from those languages; but maybe if they'd been there five years earlier with a cleaner upgrade story the migrations wouldn't have happened.)
python3 had no compatibility mode, so everyone needed 100% of their dependencies to migrate. This was so painful that some teams abandoned their legacy python2 code and reimplemented in languages with better back compat stories.
Python 3 was announced way ahead and came with migration tools that worked pretty well. Besides character handling most of the stuff was pretty similar at the beginning and I never understood why apparently nobody or only a few projects made the switch early on.
That lead to a chicken and egg situation: if you depended on those libraries that did not migrate to python3 you where stuck at python 2 as well.
I believe being nice to the community and supporting python 2 for a long time was a mistake. They should have made a hard break and enforce the migration...
I've never heard any seismologist holding a responsible office blaming the Ridgecrest quake on any man-made cause. The links posted do not support that claim either.
Do you have any information which directly supports this?
