Tired seeing them is one thing the real problem is tired updating your software stack with a frequency the team & tooling was never designed to sustain. Worse: You are not tired enough to forget the real security issues that would need some calm period to fix.
Ultimately the market will balance demand and supply. From a strategic perspective big players want to get to a level playing field as soon as possible as then their market reach and capital wins the game. Pesky nimble small closed upstarts are in the best case a costly distraction and in the worst case a threat - Antropic and Openai did not sign the letter.
Predictable power play by corporate strategy and legal departments.
AI seems to help with tasks that should have been simplified and have accidental complexity, at least that's how I read:
AI usage outside of work appears particularly high for high-friction adminis-
trative tasks. ATLAS data covers a broad set of activities outside of work, and we find that a handful of high-friction professional and bureaucratic activities exhibit significant over-representation in the data relative to the actual time spent on them. These activities include interactions related to government services, legal topics, finance, and education.
I‘m really wondering about plan and then agent mode switch in Copilot even with the same model. The switch swaps the prompt so all the learnings during planning which are in the cache will get invalidated.
It was also the rise of Github and the importance of the software hosted there. More consistent documentation and transparent issue trackers/PRs helped a lot dealing with evolving software.
The data showed Stack Overflow declined from 2017. This followed GitHub's rise distantly.
GitHub made documentation more consistent how? GitHub issues were more transparent how? A PR answered a question I would have asked Stack Overflow never I think.
If we are in the long run stabilising that would be already a win. Until the temperatures go down it will be a long, long, long time if ever. So temperatures will go up and we have to adjust. The scale of required adjustments is not understood yet and the increasing number of surprising needs to adjust is scary.
Not necessarily. By handling certain aspects orthogonal to the main flow it reduces the context the llm has to keep track of and should enable deeper reasoning of the main functional logic.
Reproducibly through measurements has a lot of value if you do not have a coach like the author for his mother. Yes a lot of recipes can be handed down but the space of recipes is so much larger. We don‘t need books as we can tell stories and this bring out the feel so much better is true but where would we be without the encyclopedia.
In December by chance I put a pack of Vitamin D into my shopping basket. I did not think much, thought to take 1000IE but then decided that for the first week I take 3000 to catch up. Muscle pain went and control over eating improved. I did not expect any changes based on past experience with 1000 but this time I could not ignore it (age can play a role) and I stayed on 3000. Tests a month later showed I was just not deficient any-more. I continued on the regime and started having improvements in long running skin issues to the extent my dentist noticed. It may not be a miracle drug but one should not underestimate cumulative impact individual factors, age and lifestyle changes (less sun) that may change levels and demand.
I do think this is worth emphasising: the article only focuses on mortality. Not quality of life. Vitamin D makes me not feel like crap, it's cheap, and effectively zero risk. I'm not expecting it to make me live longer, I like that it makes me live better.
