They can charge for the placement, or prioritize sponsored listing like they do for search results. So theyd make money on the feature, instead of spending money.
It should be fairly straight forward to check the state of a listing and ensure it hasn’t changed since it was evaluated for this purpose.
How is this better than accomplishing the same general suggestion, but with real products? How could this possibly be cost effective?
Is the cannon explanation for tos to tng change being a skin disease or something that has infected the whole population?
Can’t you buy a replacement screen and upgrade it yourself?
Edit: looks like ifixit just has led screens.
Thats the goal? And you guys are like 20% there? Or you are only accepting AI code?
I guess im saying im optimistic things will swing the other way, and the fallout will hurt like savings and loan or the housing crash, but people can still find a way i think to build new things that are more sustainable and more ethical and restrict the harmful stuff. AI is a wide field. Of course it the landscape is horrifying now, im just trying to do what I can to stay positive.
What’s the use case for this code? Im wondering if there’s a particular industry trying to use AI this way or just your workplace.
I think of a state machine as a hardware concept, not software. If all these conditions, transition to state 21. Then do a thing, if these conditions, transition to 38.
In my field its common for my colleagues to not have enough experience outside of their role to provide the feedback im looking for. They help in conversation for sure, but the wide knowledge base that is available through AI is my biggest win.
That and I cant over utilize it (well at least as a rubber duck). I can bug my colleagues too much and get in their way if im too talkative.
A loop and a data structure to hold the result of parsing. The data structure will have a state you can interrogate. No need to build a state machine to explicitly name each way the parsing can develop.
I wouldn’t call what im doing vibe coding, would you?
Ill also say, who cares if it reads or writes? The point is it makes me more effective at my job, the fact it is presented as a conversation as opposed to another format is an implementation detail not a critical feature.
I can only say I find it useful for coding, and its way faster to ask it questions instead of searching documentation. It can read the code base, and explain it to me instead of me trying to understand the cryptic 2 and 3 letter variable names the last a hole used, in their 57 state state machine, all states just numbered, no names (why a state machine in python? Some people…) Then when I want to change something in the code that is substantial, I can ask it to write a draft that I then refine, saving keystrokes on boiler plate. It can suggest data structures and algorithms I’ve not yet used or heard of, and then I can learn about them, making me smarter as well.
I did this all on my own before with a lot of grep and find commands, reading python/perl/c++/tcl/git/cvs documentation. Then tracking down someone to explain the piece Im not understanding. It turns a few weeks worth of hard effort into a relaxed few days of feeling more productive.
Even just linting, I can ask it, why is this function not giving me the expected outcome (in terms that simple), and it finds the 1 off error faster than me, like in 5 sec in 500 lines of code.
Its like having someone with perfect recall that has read all of the code base, and all comp science info on the web, sitting next to me. Its not a great coder, but I can get the information i need to be the good coder I am faster than google and grep. Not using it now is like insisting that O’Reilly books (which i have read for fun in the past) are better than searching the online docs or google.
I work for a tech company that has an AI product (that i use and find valuable), and the execs are talking about investing more in their employees, not less. You’ll never guess which. Not all AI companies are trying to automate the whole company. If you have these personnel assets, throwing that away is short sighted. You should be able to run circles around people downsizing if you just empower your employees to use AI when it actually does make sense.
Im convinced AI is like the dot com bubble, not all offerings are worth what we are being told, but for some things its the only way that makes sense anymore. By 2030, this will settle into a new normal where these laid off employees will find work in related areas that weren’t possible before, and the companies that overvalued AI will take a hit.
Edit: if you downvote can you say why? Im no AI stan, I think its being mishandled all over, but I do see a few valid use cases. Id like to know if im missing something, or if people are just sick of hearing people talk about AI.
No one is spending any money on making stuff. The local theater has like 12 screens, and half are playing movies like caddy shack. There’s just not the willingness from the studios. They won’t risk losing money, theyll take the small consistent profits of existing ip and minimal production cost.
Indie games are still good. There are some YouTube channels that produce quality exclusive content on other platforms. But for sure the good stuff is harder to find, and there aren’t blockbusters like the 80s and 90s.
Me too. This is the only one that fooled me at first today. Ill take it. If you have to make a joke about ip addresses and the kernel to fool me, then I guess I’m still pretty sharp.
If you buy a decent digital one, they actually turn off when you press the off button, and the battery lasts a long time. The cheap ones just turn the display off, and the batterty dies like every week.
This isnt like a hike up a local trail to a summit with nice view. This was proper mountaineering. Like hiking and winter camping and rock climbing combined. Safety should be the first priority in planning and execution. There should be hard turn around times, because you’ll always want to push to the summit in the moment. The negligent mistakes were not stopping and turning around sooner, not accepting help when contacted by a rescue helicopter, and not helping her use the equipment she had when it became apparent things had turned south.
I like to winter camp on the top of mountains in the Catskills (childs play by comparison), and when I saw he strapped her to a rock, it was clear to me he had fucked up. As soon as they had reached the last appropriate place, he should have set her up in her bivuac, and then turned around. Or they both should have turned around sooner when they weren’t on schedule. He pushed her further up when its clear they should have already been heading down. It was a selfish desire to summit.
You design semiconductors for a living? Or just read articles?
You are a bit out of date. I cant say what I know, but tsmc is just one player now. Semiconductor industry is about to make some jumps.
Oh almost certainly the point is just to have used AI. Theyre accelerating into popping the bubble. The tokens are starting to get priced more realisticly and there’s no way folks built things that financially make sense long term. Everyone is just being pushed to use it more to make more slop.
