It's increasingly looking like if you're young enough most knowledge work will be eaten by LLMs (or the thing that comes next) within your lifetime.

Hopefully we'll see human assisted with AI & induced demand for a good while, but the idea that people work unassisted in knowledge work is gonna go the way of artisan clothing

Chatgpt doesn't have much of a moat. Claude is comparable for coding tasks and llama isn't far behind.

No biz collapse will remove llama from the world, so if you're worried about tools disappearing then just only use tools that can't disappear

I certainly felt like the use case of interacting directly with spark (through scala) and very low friction visualizations was quite nice. Not that it's hard to get that with jupyter, but batteries included, just click through the UI visualization was better for zeppelin

What do you mean by professional that doesn't include Karpathy?

Fission has a very different risk profile than fusion.

Additionally making a fusion plant isn't a stepping stone to making a nuclear bomb

To anyone curious I'd also really recommend reading the original piece

The argument made here includes not just that the company should not spend it's resources on things other than profit for the sake of shareholders, but also worries about employees and customers. At least in this article Friedman was advocating for something much more positive than the situation we found ourselves in today

Possibly a collision in the caching library. Pretty bad that the video streams aren't properly permissioned

But you also need consider that the Chinese demographics are basically only going to get worse from here. Their dependeny ratio is going to get really bad, like it could be 1.5 retirement age people per 1 working age person.

Are they gonna try and fight a war while the average soldier has more then one aging parent back on the mainland?

Who would do the domestic production to support the effort?

If China ever wants to do it they need to do it in the next couple decades

It seems like you disagree with the ruling, which is different than not understanding the problem

Why would the source of revenue make it not UBI?

Exactly what qualifies for you may mean it does already exist on a large scale or doesn't.

Alaska's UBI program gave 1.3k this year, which I'm guessing many commenters here would say is too small to be a real UBI, but it is universal and has been going for almost 50 years

Even better for getting started: Using nix as an additional package manager that won't fight with whatever pre-existing OS uses. My first exposure was using nix instead of homebrew on OSX.
