It may be a success or maybe not who knows but she did it. I think she has 4 or 5 paying customers.

this is a point that i think is missed on many people (myself included earlier in the year). Sure, the LLM is non-deterministic but it can write code that is not and test cases to verify it. Then, once verified correct, it can use what it wrote to perform the task in a deterministic way. Even though the LLM is still non-deterministic all it has to get right is the arguments to the software which is much easier than the full logic of the task. That's very powerful.

I've seen this first hand when asking AI to do non-trivial analysis over a couple of spreadsheets and then also a database. It writes python to do this, tests it with sample data, and then calls the python it creates to do the processing on the actual data.

My 14 year old is pretty sharp and i like to pose philosophical questions that have no answer to him to watch the gears turn and see what he comes up with. I once asked him what he thought the meaning of life is and he replied "to make the most effective use of the resources available to you". I can't tell you if that came from him or something he read and, while not a perfect answer, i like it quite a bit.

I agree with this, my boys are 14 and ~17 and i feel they have a petty good start on both. As a parent, you can guide and encourage but kids grow into individuals with their own passions, interests, and views of the world and being able to learn and think critically arms them with what they need to navigate it all.

When my kids were small we were either at the Perot museum or the Dallas World Aquarium every Saturday morning (giving mom a break). We had family memberships to both of those places and we used it to the fullest. Going to the same places over and over seems boring but I think it really helped them digest what they were seeing and messing with. I feel like a new experience every day is enriching but also overwhelming, especially for really small kids.

I always joked with them "get good at learning and you don't have to get good at anything else". I feel like they've done a pretty solid job at that and can learn/develop their own interests at will. My youngest taught himself guitar, he's really good too, and knows a handful of RATM songs which isn't the easiest music.

Both have gravitated to STEM and attend the magnet HS's in Dasllas ISD ( Townview TAG and Townview SEM ). My oldest is interested in petroleum engineering (i don't really know why, he just is) but my youngest spends all his free time and before school time with his creative writing teacher who he loves. Time will tell with him i guess.
