Not necessarily. In this case the business seeks an alternative to workers such automation or simply going without.

No need to imagine. That would just be Declarative Programming going mainstream?

Its just that algorithms like the Prolog’s WAM or the reet used in rules are replaced with neural nets and the like.

Rules use the same When Then format acting on a Given fact base. Prologs Horn Clauses can easily be translated into that form.

BDD writes all tests in the format Given When Then.

It’s already here.

I want to read the follow up article where the challenge is to create a typesetted document. Bentleys criticism includes a single like Shell script invoking Latex.

Take a look at the code. He makes use of both Gotos and global variables.

See paragraphs 5 & 7.

He would have been rejected as a job applicant immediately as soon as the paragraphs were read.

Is the generator still being trained based on current comments?

If so, how long will it be before it starts generating comments that include feeding the title init itself?

But they won’t find Musk when watching Iron Man or Avengers.

To find him in film they have to watch the Greatest Showman.

Is it possible that value can be generated without a financial transaction?

The reason is explained in the front matter: “On one level, the data is simply a part of a mundane programming book. On another, each row represents immense suffering, lives lost, and in some cases amazing redemption and acceptance. In preparing for this dataset, I was deeply moved by a number of the statements and found myself re-evaluting my position on capital punishment. I hope that as we examine the data, you too will contemplate the deeper issues at play.”

Erik may know SQL but there’s an entire generation of developers who don’t.

These developers find it easier to dip into shallow DSLs instead of learning the depths of SQL.

I’d like to defend this guy. What he is doing is testing the trust mechanism.

If he went to Google and said ‘I think the trust mechanism is broken’ Google would say: ‘We know, that’s why we are pushing to move everyone to https.’

‘That isn’t enough. The padlock on the https page gives users a false sense of security.’

‘We don’t agree with that. Where’s your data?’

Google wouldn’t have accepted this. They have pushed full HTTPS hard, and suggesting that it has a negative consequence is unacceptable to them.

His experiment has proven the problem. How else could it have been demonstrated?

Ideally this would have been a large scale study done by academics. But this guy doesn’t have those resources. Nobody is going to fund this research.

The depressing thing here is that everybody is more interested in calling this guy a jerk than dealing with the issues he has raised.

Trust on the internet is broken. This guy did it with ease. Imagine what is being done by those who want to scam millions?

But yeh, call him a jerk and then you can bury your unease beneath a big pile of outrage. It’s fine. Fine. He’s a jerk.

Exactly, the only video game Crash here in the UK was Newsfield’s magazine.

I think he is making a mistake selling this as a book. These prices just don’t work for a book.

He should be selling it as a knowledge community. Members get access to the resources, conversations, training, etc.

Add levels of membership that have to be earned through merit somehow and membership at a higher level becomes valuable on the CV.

Alexa is still struggling to understand what Album I want to listen to from my rather limited music library.

She won’t be replacing the Amazon website anytime soon.

I think this is all about establishing a new distinctive look.

The current one screams “1990” at anybody reading.

Now they need something that is distinctly IBM while gently whispering “2020” into the readers ear.
