Obviously this depends on the product but I'd give anything to worry about interpreters over the correct computer architecture in the M1/M2 Intel Embedded world.

Why don't you read the code? The amount of people commenting on this, if there was something to hide they'd have probably caught it already and if not surely by next week.

And the majority of science sit in empty libraries with maybe a single citation by a postdoc trying to write enough papers to get the next postdoc...

Can it really be called the wrong tool when so many huge businesses and essentially the entire globe are powered by it? It’s certainly worked imo

I'm not saying Math is useless, I'm saying there must be tiers for topics in how useful they are such that someone can say "Hey, that's pointless!" and one can't follow with "Therefore all things are pointless". Or, that allow me to rank niche topics in their usefulness.

Irrigation is very important. Now, is Irrigation Maths more important to us as a species than Terrence Taos work on spontaneously combusting water? Probably! Would it be more useful to have PhDs be funded in optimizing food routes between countries after climate change over game theory applications for blackjack? Probably!

Farming provides food. Predicting the probability of water spontaneously combusting, while interesting, provides much less food.

Why not use “French” in a tweet and see if it’s flagged too?

Thanks!

Ah I apologize for the presumption, I just have seen so many Cryptobros going all in on ChatGPT and it sort of grinds my gears - I'm worried there will be all sorts of highly marketed get-rich business ideas sold to people now crypto is in a bear market.

Agreed that may be the case but all OpenAI needs to do is release a nice UI for GPT and they've suddenly pushed these SaaS out of the market. Why fund miners over the companies making pickaxes?

I guess Cypto isn't working out atm?

I wonder if "prompt engineering" will be replaced by improvements to LLMs within the next couple years and this is just a bad DX step gap along the journey

No I definitely have, it’s just so rare I can’t remember when I last did it. I do remember playing one in a blitz tournament 20 years ago! But if this is the first game they played, or if it happens in 1/10 matches, that’s wild

I can’t remember the last time I played an illegal move tbf, and I’ve played 7 games of chess this morning already to give you an idea of total games played

You're not wrong. I've worked in prod with all the cool languages (Scala, Haskell, Rust, Go, etc...) but stick to Python/typeScript when I want to be pragmatic.
