I understood the original comment as “if devs were paid they wouldn’t sell out”. Which is probably valid, more or less

Something unnecessary, certainly

I don’t know for sure, but my advisor used to worry about the amount of successful PhD graduates, because of the department quota, iirc

You are correct, but there’s a larger problem with intelligence, we don’t have a practical definition, and we keep shifting the goalpost. Then there’s always a question of a philosophical zombie, if someone acts as a human and has a human body you won’t be able to tell apart if they don’t really have intelligence, so we only need to put LLM into humanlike body (it’s not so, but you get the point)

Not everywhere, I guess. The advisor needs to show good numbers to the stakeholders board, after all

I think they had some specific metric in mind when they said this. But on the other hand, this is kind of a “you’re here” situation, AI can’t do that now, there’s no telling that they can’t make it do that later. Probably it would be a much more useful AI at that point, too

That’s deeper than it seems

Yeah, licenses like WTFPL highlight the difference between freedom for the user vs freedom for the developer.

I’m still not sure about which to consider the best license

And now it’s going to become quite literal debt

Maybe also the fact that PHP interpreter is written in C and a bit of C++, so C kind of “does everything for them”

Still, this makes no sense since most JS engines are written in C++, and Python is the only one more or less self-sufficient, albeit major implementations often use other languages as a source. And because it should’ve been C, not C++

Was going to comment that 😅

Would be nice if true, but I guess those “extra” money would most commonly stay in tops’ pockets

I envy you a bit. On the other hand, I have conditions that are at least okay, so I probably wouldn’t trade places because that’d be a lot of hassle searching for a nice place like yours and then trying to get into it

Just a little detail, is your company in the USA, in the EU, or elsewhere?

ANAMA

Unfortunately, the time when they seemed cool is long gone

No, the text also shrinks horizontally while stretching vertically. This is a bit weird, but I second that it seems quite minor as an issue

This flowchart is missing “Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket, and refracted light from Venus”

Noooo, that was an evil plan all along, everything goes according to plan, the victory is nigh

*angry Putin noises*

Robots sure are long overdue
