This is a problem if 'everybody' is using it but I suspect there will be a few groups. It will be a 'tortoise and the hare' situation.
The LLM folks (the hare) will get the initial upper hand as it appears as though they are moving far faster than others but with limited or wrong actual results. This could change if we can solve the hallucination issue. Yes, they are in personal echo chambers but that can only get you so far when you hit the real world. It will be painful and messy but it will resolve long term. Worse case we end up with a Dune "do not make machines that think like a person".
The slow group (tortoise) are those that do not actively engadge in these things. Yes, this trying to keep up but using much slower mental faculties. I suspect long term they will do better as the fast group fail to deliver. Again if we do not solve issues of LLMs which is not certain.
So long as there is still the slow group, we probably would not go down the dark path of individual echo chambers. Long term, eventually if you trip over the same mental stumbling block, you learn to not do that any more.
Fellow Nepali here. Corruption has always been blatant in Nepal, but in the past it was mostly limited to the monarchs and a small circle around them. With democracy, however, it feels like everyone in power has become corrupt. It’s reached a point where corruption is so normalized that people compare leaders based on the degree of their corruption, rather than whether they are corrupt at all. On top of that, the children of these politicians and officials openly flaunt their Gucci, LV, and Ferraris on social media—in a country where just one of their bags costs more than what an average Nepali earns in a whole year.
This is insane tbh. Although i think we should view every politician as corrupt and dirty by default lol i sympathize with nepal this sucks man. (Thanks for the reply btw)
I couldn't agree more on how restricted popular smartwatches are. I'm working on a project to capture the maximum physiological and health data—such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, and SpO2—from a smartwatch in the shortest possible interval. So far, the best I've achieved is once per minute. Could pebble support obtaining this data (particularly HRV) at even shorter intervals?
I also tinker with health data from wearables. I've built some Whoop-like UIs for a couple cheapo wrist straps from Aliexpress, but their HR monitors are always so bad that they're useless outside of when you're sleeping.
Though I disagree to most of things said here, I do agree that the new fleet of software engineers won't be that technically adapt. But what if they don't need to? Like how most programmers today don't need to know the machine level instructions to build something useful.
I feel there will be a paradgym shift about what programming would be altogether. I think, programmers will more be like artists, painters who would conceptualize an idea and communicate those ideas to AI to implement (not end to end though; in bits and pieces, we'd still need engineers to fit these bits and peices together - think of a new programming language but instead of syntax, there will be natural language prompting).
We do use some other techniques to filter out comments that are almost always considered useless by teams.
For the typical team size that uses us (at least 20+ engineers) the number of downvotes gets high enough to show results within a workday or two, and achieves something of a stable state within a week.
