So no. Same menu/web-pages; but served differently as per individual needs.


I mean, Chrome is also reskinned to serve a particular niche by a number of providers. I don't think that really cuts it in either case.


The article in context is not just about Chrome, but the various avatars it has manifested into.


Who's taking the baton?


System Design Interview I and II - Alex Xu. Take one of the topics and do it practically.


The same though goes into working with languages.

I was a fan of Python’s list compressions, C#’s LINQ expressions, ORMs and functional/object-oriented abstractions.

Now, I have started appreciating simple procedural languages like Golang.


China didn't look like a competitor until they were miles ahead.

They are definitely not on the cloud.


Aurora on AWS definitely has extreme RAM

It's not cheap at roughly $200/hr but already if you have this type of traffic then you are generating revenues (hopefully) at much greater amounts.


Why will SO be gone? They are now partners with OpenAI - https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partne...


If nobody is answering new questions, what will the LLM use to learn?


Theoretically the super intelligent ai will connect your question to the open source repo it read on GitHub. So you will get the answer anyway.


People who crave karma points will continue do so. The game isn't for the faint hearted. SO still has the best gamification model and there isn't any competitor.


Does it, really? I have a few thousand points over there but I just gathered them from my work related issue solving. I never dedicated time just to solve SO questions and I doubt the people who do are plentiful enough to keep the website going. Most answers I see are posted by accounts with less than 10k reputation which really isn't hard to get. I doubt the "grinders" will keep the website alive if everyone else will move to LLMs.


It’s not cool to feed ai and there are no points for doing so. Ai feeder communities will die eventually


Even the best gamification model is not worth very much IMHO.


On the current state of AI - do you believe it has "intelligence" or is the underlying system a "prediction machine"?

What signs do you see that make you believe that the next level (biological intelligence) is on the horizon?



Wrong. As per the article - a part of our brain is a prediction machine. A human body is more than the sum of its parts.


> A human body is more than the sum of its parts.

What does this mean, precisely? How is a human body (or plant, or insect, or reptile/bird/mammal) body ever "more than" it's constituent parts? Wouldn't that violate a conservation law?



We do predictions, but much more important, we are able to create new states. Prediction the classical view assigns probabilities to existing states. What's unique to us and a lot of other biological intelligence is the ability to create new states when needed. This is not implicit in the narrow view of prediction machines


Is this a good thing ? Because apparently we’re supposed to be building god. So it sounds like we’re on the wrong track, am I wrong ?

If we’ve just copied our feeble abilities, is that supposed to be exciting?

Is god like intelligent just a prediction machine too ?


Well, if we intend "building god" perhaps we're merely making a copy of a copy of God:

The Sixth Day

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. ”…

Genesis 1:26-27 Berean Standard Bible


Not really, you first have to catch up the vehicle ahead, before you start overtaking. At present, they are miles behind.


1. With the recent developments at CockroachDB one may like to bundle it along with MSSQL and Oracle.

2. Like the author, I will like to understand "Why not MariaDB? (a free variant of MySql)".
