My same line of thinking and apparently of several others, turns out herdr has a plug-in for this: https://github.com/nikok6/herdr-mirror which is close to what I need.

He wrote a lot about this. For example he built an e-commerce meta platform in Lisp that would allow anyone to build and customise their own shops that was far ahead of anything that existed at the time.

I've been using ChatGPT for similar visual recognition things. Recently I took a video of a car because I really liked its color. I upladed the video to ChatGPT and asked to extract which paint color I'd need to specify to a modding garage to put a foil on my car. ChatGPT really impressed me, extracted a screenshot, did a color analysis of the paint, found the palettes from paint vendors and found for me the exact paint code to tell the garage. I was speechless.

I liked this metaphor:

>It was more like handholding a fresh grad who had absorbed all of human knowledge but needed someone to tie various parts of that knowledge to create something useful.

Very impressive. Recently I watched this really amazing lecture on building GPT from scratch from Karpathy, I was blown away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY&t=642s

New comment by durdn in "The Ethereum merge is done"

durdn — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 12:02:02 +0000

The date of the merge has been known for sometime, so the price increase has been mostkly priced in the previous weeks (see recent pumps). Unfortunately the recent US CPI info release has sent the markets (including crypto ones) into a frenzy. In any case I am optimistic that the price of Eth will explode once the better part of this "recession" is behind us.

New comment by durdn in "1x Engineer"

durdn — Tue, 31 May 2022 13:29:34 +0000

I mean, can a x10 engineer read and update the docs too or is that only for the 1xs? I too am not too sure about many points in this list ... and also the point this page is trying to make.

We are all average engineers in the end, there's always someone more productive, with more experience, with more dedication, with more energy ... somewhere in your organisation. As long as the organisation can keep a learning and collaborative environment and the assholes at the door, I welcome as many 10x engineers as they will fit the room. But then if all your peers are 10x engineers ... they become 1xs ?

You may need to choose a "Source" in the top left. I got the same error before choosing a character.

You expressed my exact thoughts and I was about to link to the same insightful article. I guess my comment could've been shortened as a silent upvote, but I commented anyway.
