Its been a while since I worked with MATLAB and others. Whats up with GNU Octave these days? IIRC thats what folks were championing 10 years ago when anyone was talking about the problems with MATLAB.

I'm guessing he's suggesting the AI can be a conversation buddy anytime you want, and also point out your mistakes so you can learn from them.

Kinda a reductionist answer. They are traded on Bitcoin exchanges, because people think they are valuable, because x y and z etc.

Once upon a time blob detection was considered "AI"

I would love to to use Linix as my daily driver, but keep needing to go back to Windows for Ableton and gaming.

How would this work when substantial equity is involved? It makes sense that if you drop your hours, your salary would drop in proportion. But if a substantial amount of your total comp is from unvested equity, it doesn't makes as much sense. Your employer can't take away unvested equity, right? If so it seems like your employer would have much less incentive to want to do something like this - you may be working half as much, but your total comp only drops by like 25% or something.

Very similar for me - there is also a direct line from me reading that article to me being a software engineer today.
