<p>The way I see it, its undetermined if Generative AI will be able to fully do a SWE job.<p>But, for most of the debates I've seen, I don't think it the answer matters all too much.<p>Once we have models that can act as full senior SWEs.. the models can engineer the models. And then we've hit the recursive case.<p>Once models can engineer models better and faster than humans, all bets are off. Its the foggy future. Its the singularity.</p>

<p>('18 alum) Yeah I agree. We even had internal-only versions of OCW with more recent recordings and more material.<p>Although I agree that professors were not accessible, and TAs were often not that helpful. But, I never felt like I didn't have the resources I needed. I just lacked enough time.<p>I did feel like i would have been able to _learn_ better from a smaller school with fewer students, and teachers hired for teaching instead of research. But I still don't think that would have outweighed the benefit of the MIT community and resources.</p>

<p>the US has been investigating these ideas since early in the cold war. It started as a means of mass destruction (could we silently reduce solar radiation over russia and cause their crops to fail?), but really could be a means to cool down the ocean.<p>There are tons of other impacts of carbon, but we could reduce the solar energy hitting the ocean with currently technology if we needed to.</p>

<p>Having grown up in the northern panhandle, you really have to look at is a tri state area. PA, OH, and WV.<p>It’s extremely distinct from the rest of WV below the mason dixon line.<p>The original capital of WV was actually Wheeling, in the northern panhandle, but it was eventually moved south to Charleston because of the disconnect.<p>In the 19 years I lived there I never heard anyone say anything but “pop” to refer to carbonated soft drinks. It’s also part of my dialect that has stuck around.<p>I think the most distinctive word used in the region is that shopping carts are referred to as “buggies”.  I didn’t even realize that was unusual until I went shopping with friends in college…</p>
