AI is a tool and nothing more. You give it too much and it will fumble, humans fumble but we can self correct where instead AI hallucinates. Crazy nightmare AI dreams.

Lets be real though most people can't beat a grandmaster. It is impressive to see it last more rounds as it progressed.

Sometimes I feel like someone already wrote what I am writing and it doesn't feel good to just work on something I know could be critiqued hard because an alternative exists.

I agree with this, but when working with a team I always feel motivated to see the progression made. Rarely do solo developers work well with others and rarely do collaborative developers work well by themselves. It really depends on the dynamic of the environment and the goal of the team.

Good example of when adding abstraction is more problematic than the processes themselves which is like an extra minute or two in flow.

Bad, especially if you have no control because you don't work in that department but you know you could do better than that department.

Google has to sell its AI some how. The problem is that businesses will see this and want to fire head count because they go, "Well I guess AI can do it for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!". Nope no way is it writing code freely.

And it is a fine pickle we jarred ourselves into. We thought it would be sweet but it just came out dill.

We used to have regulation on TV and media for broadcasting before the Internet. This encouraged a level of standards across media that ensured the safety for viewers alike. While this might not seem like an issue for you as a user, statistically children watch more YouTube and social media than any other person. While this might be a parent problem restricting access the quick dopamine hits from shorts has a brain altering chemistry, yeah we can alter our own brains through reward treatment, to have a shorter attention span lowering the capacity for learning and excelling in a particular study or course.

Yeah your comment deserves regulation.

Doom scrolling gets me when I'm in the bathroom. I ended up disabling YouTube on my phone.

YouTube needs a way to turn it off though. You should be able to disable short-form media on the app so you can focus on long-form media.

Or maybe we can get regulate short-form media. I've never been a fan of such a wasteful format with so little accountability. You drastically shorten attention spans with such media that it doesn't benefit anyone. Although I've seen a few short-form media used to to explain small scientific phenomenons.

I have always wanted to get into robotics. Maybe my next evolution in stuff is robotics. I'm starting to get tired of big corporate software engineering.

These silly things are neat. I'm also really interested in the snake/worm robots that dig to find people and inflate to move rubble.

I was about to write this complaint myself then I found your comment. The planet would've looked completely different and unrecognizable when we had rings.

I mean technically we have rings now too thanks to Elon Musk and the billions of space trash orbiting the planet. But Earth with rings legit rings was a whole other experience.

Easter eggs like this show the quality of the work. Very charming and awesome!

Technology aside I would actually prefer if the device to sit in my pocket until they can get technology small enough that it just doens't look like I'd get tired holding on my ears.

At yes lets use a screwdriver to do something which a hammer was meant for and call it progress.

That is what I read when I read the title. People should think about what a language's purpose is before planning to interate a technological design around it. Python is very good for many things just not this...

open source is the costco hotdog

Beautiful letters?

Or ugly ones I want some high-quality Comic Sans font.

That live demo on the page is solid by the way.

Maybe, the problem is that we are designed around a limited bandwidth network at the initial inception of the internet and have been building around that design for 50 years. We need to change the paradigm to think about our wide bandwidth networks.

More that if a protocol has met it's limit and you are at a dead end it is better to build a new one from the ground up. Making the internet faster is great but you eventually hit a wall. You need to be creative and come up with better solutions.

In fact our modern network infrastructure returns on designs intended for limited network performance. Our networks are fiber and 5g which are roughly 170,000 times faster and wider since the initial inception of the internet.

Time for a QUICv2

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9369/

But I don't think it addresses the disparity between it and lightweight protocols as networks get faster.

No, actually what I mean was that QUIC being a protocol on UDP was intended to take advantage of the speed of UDP to do things faster that some TCP protocols did. While the merit is there the optimizations done on TCP itself has drastically improved the performance of TCP based protocols. UDP is still exceptional but it is like using a crowbar to open bottle. Not exactly the tool intended for the purpose.

Creating a new protocol starting from scratch would be better effort spent. A QUICv2 is on the way. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9369/

I don't think it addresses the problems with QUICv1 in terms of lightweight performance and bandwidth which the post claims QUIC lacks.

They are already expected standards so when you create optimizations you're building on functions that need to be supported additionally on top of them. This leads to incompatibility and sometimes often worse performance as what is being experienced here with QUIC.

You can read more about such things from, The Evolution of the Internet Congestion Control. https://groups.csail.mit.edu/ana/Publications/The_Evolution_...

A good solution is to create a newer protocol when the limits of an existing protcol are exceeded. No one thought of needing HTTPS long ago and now we have 443 for HTTP security. If we need something to be faster and it has already achieved an arbitrary limit for the sake of backward compatibility it would be better to introduce a new protocol.

I dislike the idea that we're turning into another Reddit where we are pointing fingers at people for updoots. If you dislike my opinion please present one equal to where that can be challenged.

Agreed on this.

Maybe I'm the only person who thinks that trying to make existing internet protocols faster is wasted energy. But who am I to say anything.

When I saw this I was like ooh noes not myspace all over again. I feel this style may actually be a hinderance for adopting more users. People really want something more reactive like Discord. Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it. It is like comparing Slack to Teams. It will be a long time before anything catches immediately up to Slack or Discord in usability. Although I have a short list of things that would be QoL improvements that would make both them soooooo much better.

The greatest threat to any AI platform is the AI itself. I think people put to much reliance on the information generated and don't test or scrutinize the data provided. Right at this given moment it is much better are correcting grammar like an advanced spell checker, but as long as context is missing or the ability for the AI to visualize the information in a contextualized manner it just is limited to spitting out information it consumes and while that is good enough in most cases it doesn't raise the floor any higher on what companies want it to do which is replace human labor. Also the lack of foresight of giving over a business entirely to AI is also a massive problem as your employees are typically also your customers and largest word of mouth advertisers. I've worked on many products I've self promoted because I was excited for by which my own team and partnered teams worked on. You can't make AI ethusiastic about your products like employees. But don't get me wrong, AI is here for the future and it will help us all achieve our business goals, but for a business to be dependent on AI and campaigning that will only doom it.

AI's novelty is wearing off where it starts to fail to produce immediate growth to investors. Today's investors are caught up exploiting latest thing then burning out because they released something half baked.
