While it's difficult to define, wisely can turn 'LLMs are useless' to 'ten X productivity boost'. However, at the end, of course, it all comes down to products. Before LLMs stole the show, we had built beautiful system software over the course of decades, linux, git, k8s and rust and yet the products that we use everyday are mostly (mostly) user-hostile and incorporate dark patterns, offer a suboptimal UX, and (in my opinion) sometimes involve outright inhuman marketing practices. That being said, even if you get AGI I don't think it will lead to any breakthroughs if we continue to do 'software engineering' like this year after year.
Agreed. I am starting to think that the only sane way to approach most of it is to learn enough to be able implement as much as possible yourself. It.. can suck hard, because you will spend a lot of time learning what true control really means, but in exchange you get exactly what you want and how you want it.
And this sucks, because I don't think I could reasonably apply this to anything else like cars..
To do this, I had to switch to Rust first which means I had to change my entire career. I love to switch to linux desktop now but before that I'm gonna need to clear some time. Which probably means I have to retire?
Meh. The US has a history of installing totalitarian or terrorist governments. The middle-east is a lovely example; the US was responsible for the likes of Osama Bin Laden (CIA asset), for the installation of Saddam Hussein, and many many more.
> So get rid of the government and all the extremists take over.
Oh, the so called "extremists" are/were the ones with power. This is where it tops out. I know it's hard to see from a distance but you have no idea how bad can it get under the safe and sound status quo.
"Officials from the United States and other countries have questioned the legality of the strikes."
Look, this is getting tiring. You have no idea what the people in this country went through and they might as well see it as a "good thing". I think the same applies to Iran, an intervention by the US could be the best thing that ever happened in these countries, so the "legality" issue doesn't quite sound warranted in my opinion.
Im not sure we want the president to be going around bypassing congress in regards to the military. I would prefer a congress that took back its power from the executive.
I'm not well informed on how this came to be, but to consider this with regard to US's own interests, I think it is simply a problem to be dealt with sooner than later. You definitely don't want to ignore it until it's a "real problem".
edit: I'd also add that this was also a message to the Supreme Leader -- he seems to be oblivious to the consequences of the threats for his own people and, quite frankly, counts on the percentage of people who disagree. The sheer volume of the lies that is going around is astonishing and you have to live it to know.
