No, you've created a generic condition checker, which is where all of your complexity comes from. Further, you've left the actual check to be duped in all callers.

Not seeing how this makes sense in terms of the article? A function is an abstraction. Extracting duplicate code into a function is the same concept.

But what if you need to save up to buy something that you can't afford in one year? Or you're trying to reduce cost in one place enough to hire a team to do some other project?

There's probably 10 types of ready to drink coffee at Costco. Someone is drinking them, in bulk. Including my wife and daughter (different people)

Way to miss the point. Bob on the other side of the room didn't train the model

Users visited the site and couldn't even begin the form, nor get seen as a visitor, due to javascript metrics and rendering failing.

That sounds like 5 humans got replaced by AI. I don't think most people worry about whether all humans will be replaced, simply whether or not they will be replaced, or people they…

Or perhaps there is a 3rd explanation, spending all of your time with people much less intelligent is frustrating and unsatisfying, and being such an outlier, it's how most of your…

They want it on their resume primarily to make more money and have a better career in terms of getting hired, etc. Very different motivation. They'd only work at a FAANG for free l…

I've got no problem with your concept, and even think it's useful. I just don't think that concept and AGI are the same thing. Economically useful has no relation to what has been …

Well, let's look at someone like Einstein. Just for argument's sake let's say he has a flat salary demand of $5 million dollars. It's not cost effective to hire Einstein to write y…

> The overlapping AGI definition I use here is "Most purely cognitive labor is automatable at better quality, speed, and cost than humans". That's a poor definition. Nowhere have I…

They are better and keep getting better and cheaper. Iteratively rather than one giant leap, but undeniable.

Eh, at the beginning of 1995 the Nasdaq PE ratio was about 17.5. The current Nasdaq PE bounces around 33. During the dotcom bubble that would be the early 1998 timeframe.

All of the authors age at a rate of 1 year per year

That's mostly due to homogenization, a process that spreads the fat evenly through the milk and keeps it from resettling.

99.9% vs about 20%. Pretty weak argument.

I'm in one of the many states where my vote doesn't matter. Deep red. Doesn't make me a supporter

Good how?

The difference is jquery went away because better things replaced it (in javascript). If the fundamental need for tailwind has passed why is it's usage growing? It's more that the …

The texture of the film grain makes Mulan and Aladdin really look better. The large simple filled sections look like they have so much more to them.

I think the final version is far worse than the second version. This is simpler in what way ?

You don't get to speak for how other people feel.
