to me, programming has always been about problem solving, not s/w in itself. I love that with more progress in computing I can solve harder challenges, faster. I'm in my 40s and am more excited than ever about my work.

This is very misleading, just look at the data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unicorn_startup_compan... Yes, it's different for different countries, and some EU countries are less startup friently. But countries like Norway or Estonia have ~1 unicorn per 1M people, just 50% of US (~2)

Might it be because of more relaxed culture, and less pressure on researchers and engineers? Innovation likes freedom and exploration, not deadlines.

This stopped being a territorial dispute long ago.

Russia is only interested in a ceasefire as a pause before occupying most of Ukraine.

Not a single time Russia has even hinted to accepting presence of any sort of third party force in Ukraine for peacekeeping.

This is rich. Russia occupied and annexed Crimea, and a part of eastern Ukraine. Of course Ukraine was seeking NATO membership.

Is it better to invest into TSMC or NVIDIA stocks, in context of AI growth?

PX4 with Pixhawk FC would be much better in terms of working out of the box. But of you use it with a random "supported" FC then still lots of debugging is needed

how does it compare to 8-bit/4-bit quantization in terms of speed/accuracy?

I've worked a bit on inductive syntax-guided synthesis, but did it at the worst time -- right before it was made obsolete by LLMs: https://grgv.xyz/inductive_program_synthesis/

I tried to make a robot simulator with rapier, with a mixed sucess: https://grgv.xyz/blog/simulator4/ The performance is great but realism of joints and motors is lacking, and not suitable realistic simulation.

You need therapy. It's not a good idea to explain/justify mental health issues with some external factors. It's all in your head. The worst that can happen if you can't find a job, is that you just wait for a short bit until the economy rebounds. That's life, and it's not the reason to loose sleep.

New comment by coolvision in "Why LLMs are not and probably will not lead to "AI" (an opion)"

coolvision — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 10:02:06 +0000

are we discussing here "intelligence" or high IQ? those problems sit on high IQ level for humans, and are not a good fit for testing intelligence in general. if one claims that passing those tests is a requirement for intelligence, are they saying that humans with IQ 80 are not intelligent?
