We don't have AGI and the pyramids weren't built by slaves.

Just ask people where they get theirs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKJtOoqTxRI

You claim to believe in scientific theory and not magic, but you are asserting many things without evidence.

If you want to be more specific I'd be happy to supply evidence for any assertions I made

I too also don't understand other people's workflows but believe I know the best way to interact with a computer.

Agreed. Stupid people with stupid opinions don’t exist. Everyone’s opinion is valid. We must be inclusive of people with bad and wrong ideas. All criticism is wrong because saying someone’s workflow isn’t good will hurt their feelings.

Useful debate on the merits of anything is a pointless endeavor because all varying opinions are valid. There is no best, better or worse… just everyone’s freedom of opinions.

In my opinion eating lead is good for you and using a mouse and clicking on tabs hinders my efficiency by 300 percent. That’s my opinion! And it’s valid! I am valid!


Are you really >60 years old? You have a young posting style.


I am. People say I look like I'm in my mid forties so that may be a factor.


Today I learned that ChatGPT is akin to Seymour Skinner when pressed about the truth of its steamed hams recipe.


The answer (for me): 1 thing per workspace most the time. maybe 2 things side by side on a landscape oriented monitor or 2 things on top of each other on a portrait oriented monitor. And: 2 or 3 monitors.

"I want the primary thing I'm working on to be right in front of me, not all over the place." is exactly why people use tiling window managers. The screenshots where people have dozens of apps all shown on a single monitor are mostly memes or to flex their uncommon layout engine.


I'm glad I saw this article. I've been wanting a library like Guava/Caffeine to consider Go to feel more like a real language, but I wasn't aware of the last few years of developments. I am interested in this and I hope my team (and adjacent Go teams) will be too.


Call me when 'AI' cook meals in our kitchens, repairs the plumbing in our homes and removes the trash from the curb.

Automation has costs and imagining what LLMs do now as the start of the self-improving, human replacing machine intelligence is pure fantasy.


To say that this is pure fantasy when there are more and more demos of humanoid robots doing menial tasks, and the costs of those robots are coming down is ... well something. Anger, denial (you are here)...

A demo is one thing. Being deployed in the real world is something else.

The only thing I've seen humanoid robots doing is dancing and occasionally a backflip or two. And even most of that is with human control.

The only menial task I ever saw a humanoid robot do so far is to take bags off of a conveyor belt, flatten them out and put them on another belt. It did it at about 1/10th the speed of a human, and some still ended up on the floor. This was about a month ago, so the state of the art is still in the demo stage.


I'm waiting. You're talking to someone who believed that self-driving vehicles would put truckers out of work in a decade right around 2012. I didn't think that one through. The world is very complicated and human beings are the cheapest and most effective way to get physical things done.


Should people's votes be public in general?


There's a good and well known argument against that already. Don't distract from my point.
