Charging infrastructure is blossoming. It is funded by private companies. Roadtripping in an EV is pretty seamless now. I'm driving to Death Valley in a couple of weeks. Plenty of charging options along the way.
Wow. This is the exact opposite of what that the site is. It is very clear that the author of the web site cares deeply about the material and has put a lot of effort into the work. You are letting your personal biases color your view. That is your right, but check to see if it is making you happy.
You don't need a 40 minute change. My Ioniq 5 will go from 30% to 85% in 20 minutes. On road trips I'm usually in and out in about 15 minutes which is aligned with my stop time with my ICE car. Why would you limit yourself to stopping at a single vendor like Buc-ee's? My EV is the best roadtripping car I've ever owned. It's a superior car, and it "refuels" quickly.
Do you farm your own food, generate your own electricity, or process your own sewage? There are others in society who are picking your slack in these areas. That's was the commenter meant.
It seems like everyone presumes that the currently proofs which are difficult to parse will stay that way. LLMs are really good with language. There's no reason that the next wave of proofs won't be accompanied by very literate explanations that mathematicians can generate understanding from.
Do you write much code? Do you design software? It sounds like you don't. The challenge with software is managing complexity. This is unique to this field. Mathematicians are humans.
The author mixes "Science" and "Mathematics". Mathematics is not a science. There is nothing empirical about it. By mixing the two concepts, a reader might think that AI is on the verge of solving all of science. Until AI gets good at digging large circular holes in the in the ground, I think Experimental Physics is safe.
Very few tools are deterministic in the way you describe. A hand saw without a guide is very non-deterministic. A drill not in a drill press is not deterministic. A hand shovel is chaotic. You never know what you are getting from using hand tools.
Don't think you can be a mature developer unless you can fluently read code. I tell everyone learning to code that reading code is equally important. In our world of AI tools reading code is turning out to be a key skill.
This seems like a highly romanticized retelling of the origin story. LLMs would have more likely made that 5 years into 5 months. LLMs are excellent at accelerating work where you don't know exactly what you are after.
Computer Science isn't the field you look to for "novel abstractions that no one has thought of before". The vast majority of CS concepts were settled over 50 years ago. I've never encountered someone who has generated "an abstraction that no one has ever thought of before", in my 40 years as a professional developer. Its always clever applications of abstractions or algorithms to a problem. In the majority of cases it is because faster hardware has opened up possibilities to use an approach that wouldn't have been practical before.
The "replacement of an American" is where the narrative breaks down. Traditionally we haven't had large numbers of unemployed developers. One of the consequences of the the Dot Com bubble bursting is we lost an entire generation of native-born engineers. People weren't going in to CS. At the same time there was an explosion of software positions. This is part of what fed the increasing use of H1B talent. This was also one of the sources of the bootcamp phenomenon. Things are bit more dynamic these days. This is just a nativist, anti-immigrant move.
Because people have lives to get on with. People need to use computers. People have better things to do with their time than spend weekends learning about the details of internet security. It is an elitist position to say that protections erode freedom. In my ICE car the engineers have specified the grade of oil that I need to use. Certainly if I knew the details of the engine, the weather it will be used in, and other factors I could choose alternate oil grades. Are my freedoms being eroded by grade of oil being mandated?
Not really. When I spend time in rural areas I see bar codes and QR codes are used everywhere. All this does is allow for the option for a business to put their barcode into your phone rather than having to carry around a paper copy. It doesn't preclude the use of paper. Your posting is a false dichotomy. The gap between urban and rural isn't that large.
I don't think such a market for "human code" will emerge except in narrow art circles. That will not be code that people run for useful purposes.
The fact is that humans have never been good a writing code. The complexity can exceed the limits of human abilities. AI tools have no such issues. I love coding, but I enthusiastically embrace AI tools because I can write better code now.
Early automobiles were very simple machines. I you knew how to repair a carriage or a wagon, you were pretty close to being able to work on an early automobile. You should check them out.
The "complexity crisis" isn't a solvable problem. Complexity is a reality in software engineering just like wind loading is a reality in structural engineering. You can't "solve" the wind and you can't "solve" complexity. That's where engineering comes in.
Why are you spending your precious time and energy trying to guess if something was written by AI? Does it make you happy? Does it add value to your life? Why do you do this now when there has always been low quality content generated by lazy authors? You admit it is making reading less enjoyable. Why not just enjoy reading?
