<p>"negative price" is a bit misleading. It means you get a discount on monthly bill when consuming excess power (in fact preventing that grid voltage gets too high). It does not mean paying for producing excess. There's an easy outlet for excess so no need to scare people off installing/producing more energy.</p>

<p>Most time i spent in bug fixing or extending features was in code that tried to be clever and over engineered. e.g. "Let's use the visitor pattern with double dispatch to do dependency injection" vs "just adapt the methods and done".</p>

<p>To me the reasoning of understanding all the things you use in a rock solid way is hard to grasp.<p>You just typed some text and hit send. You trust that the combination of letters that form words and the combination of words that form sentences, arrive somewhere in a list of comments? But do you understand how those bytes (utf8 or utf16 or..) are transmitted (which endianness, how are they packaged, does it use sentinels or length codes), where do they end up (database, plain text), how is the text organised (alphabetical, by data, by points...)? In fact you are not sure about any of those. Still you typed and hit send. So how is that much different from writing a prompt and hit send?</p>

<p>Where I live electricity costs 30 to 40 cents per kWh, I think it's easy to go over 20 dollars per month. Also I find 20 dollars is really a small amount of money to spend on AI. AI fays itself back fast if it helps you with serious stuff.</p>

<p>> The thing is I think there will come a time when AI tools will not be as accessible as they are now<p>I am very convinced that today's SOTA level will be accessible 3 years from now, but you might be right about the SOTA accessibility at that point in time.<p>Still with today's SOTA you need to know much less details to be able to write code than without it.</p>

<p>I'm sorry to read that. In fact I meant love in a more broad sense. There are many kinds of love, it does not need to be having a spouse. I work every weekday mainly for having good relations with people, money comes second.<p>But coming back to your story of life (ignoring the last sentence) : it's not too late to find love and also: try knowing and loving yourself, being content a bit more. When that succeeds, it is more easy to find love.</p>

<p>> thinking does not require language<p>It requires some kind of signal. Words of a language are a signal.
We choose words for an llm to interact with us, but other transformers work on pixel values or audio sample values. There exist transformers used on brain probe generated values.<p>I would see human language processing as a kind of coprocessor sitting in another side of the brain. But the same can be said about transformers in general. The words side is only part of them, to be able to communicate.</p>

<p>How sure are you that comprehension is not a mere form of advanced pattern matching? We have the intuition that ideas and words appear trivially in people's mind, based on comprehension. I think chances are, that intuition is wrong.</p>

<p>I regularly had a depression for years without even knowing it was a depression. Until a neurologist told me, after examination of brain imaging, it's best to take this pill for at least a week. Only after feeling its effect, I knew it was really depression causing the symptoms, even though I did not feel depressed! I felt exhausted and stressed and had several physical side effects like dizzyness and stomach ache.</p>

<p>> Undigitized data is still data. Wording, style, nuance, type, artwork, binding, metadata, attributions, citability… all of these things are permanently lost<p>I understand what you mean but... "permanently lost" sounds dramatic. When I trow away old pictures, old drawings or pieces made by my son at school, they are lost as well. Not that I do that often, but it begs the question, should every 'ip' made by humans be preserved?</p>
