> Lack of children is about to bite us very, very hard. Could it have an effect like the Black Plague, where labor becomes more expensive?

Would be great if they'd add: Reverse human aging. (Maybe a sub-topic under "Engineer Better Medicines".)

I’m kidding but.. it’ll be great if in 10 years we look back on this and your joke has become a prophecy.

If it happens, that’ll be proof enough for me that LLM assisted science is giving economic returns!

Based on my experience, even the models we have now are a huge benefit when properly used. And we probably have a decade or two of significant gains we can make just with harnesses…

Only the front matter of the 50 skills would be loaded, right? 40 MCP tools would be a much larger use of context, right?

The good news is if there are multiple frontier AI models from multiple countries with non overlapping sets of restricted answers, we can just use a couple of them to get open answ…

One way to make legal services more affordable and accessible would be to put the burden of ensuring the AI legal services are accurate on a private-public partnership with the gov…

I also wonder about JS only, Python only, etc models. Maybe the future is a selection of local, specific stack trained models?

Does this possibly demonstrate the limits of usefulness of using LLMs to explore new ideas or predict things?

> If that’s the ideal you compare your own life to, you will be unhappy. Most people in this conversation on HN seem to just be talking about a regular house and a lifestyle that w…

Thanks for sharing! Seems to show that both are doing poorly relative to earlier generations, and it doesn’t seem Gen Z is greatly (or much at all) outpacing millennials.

And to steel man your position, when the Russian revolution happened the bolsheviks promised peace, an end to the war.

Source for the latter occurrence?

And for a lot of AI transformation tasks, for a long time I've been using even clever regex search/replace, and with a few minutes of small adjustment afterward I have a 100% deter…

Unless you're desperate to feed and house your family and anything that shortens your search by a day might keep a roof over your head?

In case someone at Anthropic reads this.. if you find some way to make software developer salaries go up as a result of using your tools, or find some way to fast forward society t…

Although I tend to think we overwork the working class such that they have no energy to keep up their health, so this would basically be taxing them because they're poor in many ca…

Maybe so, but personally it seemed to be referred to as a "specification" or "spec" for a long time, and then suddenly around maybe 5 years ago I started to hear people use "PRD". …

Absolutely. Imagine being able to look at 100 years of street view history, or several hundred, at some point in the future.

> Yeah, it is over for several roles, especially frontend web development Only if the front end was super simple in the first place, IMO. And also only for the v1, which is still u…

> Success will be determined by personal brand, social media presence, social connections. Always has been. (Meme)

Could this lead to more software products, more competition, and more software engineers employed at more companies?

Great idea! And if needed, to actually swap defective landing gear parts to whatever extent possible. Maybe difficult or impossible with current aircraft designs, but maybe future …

Claude and other LLMs can be used through JetBrains, and the IDE provides a significantly better experience than VS Code in my opinion.
