Tim Waltz is a criminal mastermind. He's been hacking other states' water so that he can keep all 10,000 of his lakes topped off at the expense of hard working Americans.

Changing out running code on the fly probably increases the number of corner cases by an order of magnitude.

What could possibly go wrong?

Start by learning to crawl. Learning to understand English (or whatever language you grow up with. Learning to speak. Learning to stand upright. Learning to walk. Learning to read. Learning to write. Learning all the thousands of rules of society. Learning arithmetic, history, all the stuff you learn in first grade.

These take literally YEARS.

10,000 hours to master something? That's about a year and a half of waking life. Call it two years, since one year old babies sleep a lot. Show me a two year old who's mastered anything.

of course we do. Humans need about 100,000 hours of training cycles before they're really useful. Heck, they need something like 10,000 hours of training cycles before they can even confidently master bipedal locomotion.

We just think of it as "growing up".

We are talking about different things.

I am talking about things like the press release we're talking about here saying that the planet LHS 1140 b is "a rocky, Earth-like planet in the habitable zone."

You seem to be talking about whether the galaxy has earthlike planets somewhere.

I remember reading his articles in the late 90's and I have to admit that I got to like his style.
The one I remember the most (which unfortunately I cannot locate anymore) is an article about, well, the 90's.
The gist of it was "good riddance to the 90s". He was particularly critical of the wars of that decade in which high-tech, remote-controlled weapons were just starting to appear.
Therefore he referred to them as "the joystick wars". Too bad the term did not catch on on mainstream media.

You do know that insults where the other side has strong proof they are not true do not work, right? Well, probably that is already beyond you. ;)

Yup. This is precisely the situation. The investment bubble is undeniable. It is, however, not a given that it will collapse. Not all bubbles do.
But beyond the investment bubble- AI itself is very real.
When the dotcom bubble burst, it's not like e-commerce went away.
All the datacenters that were built- they didn't go away.
2 of my organizations datacenters were dotcom datacenters that were abandoned by Verio and picked up by us on the cheap, where we utilized them profitably for going on 2 decades now.

You're not an academic. You're a wannabe.
An academic doesn't deny reality in order to soothe their own cognitive dissonance.

Look at you- lol.
You construct this fantasy bubble around yourself where you did not just insult me while offering zero refutation of actual factual points I made (bun Rust rewrite)
And you continue to act as if that is not how we got here.
You are so fucking deluded. Again- if you teach anyone, it's a fucking crime for that institution to still employ you. But I'm betting it's not actually true. I'm betting maybe it was true at some time, and you can't get past the fact that they let you go long ago.

Your alzheimers seems to kick in just a few sentences after you start writing- it's incredible.

Can you breathe better with your head buried in the dirt?

But you need to edit their edits. They will make stuff up and slide it in when editing, not just when writing stuff.

Crashes are now rare in general. When I was a kid, it seemed like there was a major air crash in the US almost annually. I may be wrong, but I don't remember a full-sized airliner (bigger than a regional jet) having a catastrophic crash in the US since shortly after 9/11 when that Airbus lost its tail and crashed in NYC. (Being a natural pessimist, I find this outcome hard to believe and would have lost a good deal of money if I had bet on it.)

However, there still continue to be a large number of hard landings, runway slideoffs, engine fires, cabin fires and other emergency situations where the passengers still need to evacuate quickly because their lives are at risk. (Not to mention the "Miracle on the Hudson".) The safety briefings are still relevant in all those situations.

lol- I know you are but what am I?
Your sub-100 IQ never ceases to amuse me.

So you have no refutation whatsoever to what I said... you could have just said that ;)

Well, that explains why the world is getting dumber.

You don't know shit. If you do indeed teach people, you are doing them a harm.

Heyyyyy, we agree on something.

I so very wish you were not full of shit.
But you are.
Even Anthropic's most eye-watering token cost is vastly cheaper than a developer salary in terms of work done per dollar.
The bun Rust rewrite for ~$160k in 11 days for what's estimated would have taken a team of developers a year pretty much settles it.
That's about 90% of my salary at about 5x my estimated performance.

For reference, bun was 535,000 lines of Zig.

Of course, it can't do all things this way, but imagine it had been done with GLM5.2 instead of Fable 5.
1/10th the cost.
