Computers are already able to write software faster than humans, this is called compilation. Languages are only a way to describe a problem and the computer automatically builds an extremely efficient software to solve it. No language models involved, so no randomicity, no biases and no errors caused by the inability to follow elementary syllogisms. Language models are not intelligent and they will never be. Yes, true AI imho is possible, but it won’t be a statistical model trying to predict words in a phrase, this is ridiculous and just companies marketing which you continue to take the bait.

Programming languages are only a way to describe a problem. Even with AI if you want it to build software for you, you have to describe your problem and to describe problems human languages are not that efficient, soooo… AI would require kinda a programming language, just an high level one. Maybe you can avoid writing logics, but as a software engineer, writing logics is the easiest and less time demanding task in serious software development.

Pentagon combat drones: “I’m flying off the wing of something that’s making its own decisions.” (Aug. 27) (www.nytimes.com)

Recently revised Pentagon policy allows for autonomous use of lethal force. In test later this year, combat drone will be asked to chase, kill simulated target, coming up with own strategy for mission. Second program’s goal is Air Force that is more unpredictable and lethal.

This is really hard to believe even without an article saying it is hypothetical lol

Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?

It’s a bit of a weird shower thought but basically I was wondering hypothetical if it would be possible to take data from a social media site like Reddit and map the most commonly used words starting at 1 and use a separate application to translate it back and forth....

You cannot represent everything using english text, and text in known languages can be extremely compressed just because we know details about its structure. (And anyway, it cannot be compressed that extremely, information theory explains this very well, computational power isn’t the only limit here).

If you cannot represent everything using valid english text, you cannot compress at high rates without losing information. A big part of digital data is actually noise, and noise cannot be compressed by definition.

The same thing that is wrong with wanting to play something new: nothing lol

GSM data? Is this 2005? Ahahahahahahah

Companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Meta are paying salaries as high as $900,000 to attract generative AI talent (www.businessinsider.com)

Have those companies’ movies and TV shows ever been good?

NixOS, I have a fetish for configuration files

Flakes are extremely simple (my whole system is a flake: github.com/cmargiotta/dotfiles ), but they are basically not documented.

The grammar is really really bad, I prefere a lot the Guix one too! I am using NixOS only because the last time I tried Guix I didn’t find a lot of packages for their extremist GNU policy (I agree, but I need some packages), is it still like that?

Here in Italy cinema is priced around 9-10 euros and carnets are often priced 5-6 euros per ticket.

undefined> carnet

Oh sorry! I was convinced carnet was also used in English! It is basically a set of usually five “coupons”, they are basically free tickets that you can use for any movie within a year.

Do 8 billions of people using single use plastic have the same impact of 20 billionaires on their yachts? This cannot be that difficult, guys. Billionaires are absolutely a problem but our actions as individuals are extremely important anyway.

This isn’t goofy, this is an extremely diffused “pattern” when you need to use non dynamic number sequences.

Probably because it received upvotes recently?
