I think about this one often, John gets it

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.

Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.

I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.

I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

@IterIntellectus IPO soon btw (unrelated I'm sure)

@GTAVI_Countdown The QA/QC playtest budget has to be crazy. It’s starts with hiring the best artists and story tellers then they play the hell out of their game to make sure it’s fun. Like many other big studios they will not release a game that doesn’t live up to their standards (like valve)

@zacbowden Maybe for privacy focused on prem LLMs all you need is something lean and minimal. Anything intensive you’re better off running remote. In other words I think this device will become a great (expensive) windows gaming laptop

@benjamincowen Fun to go back and read the responses

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@rfleury @brian_armstrong Yes. This gives companies like Coinbase not only an excuse to let people go, but make it look like a positive thing for the company (we’re so efficient with these tools)

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@BritHugoboom Yes who can forget Kelly Purse

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@shagbark_hick Accurate

@aiedge_ Microwave salesman explaining that chefs better start learning a new skill

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@FirstSquawk Be aware that companies promoting LLM products have a strong incentive to highlight benefits and downplay limitations. It’s a good idea to approach headlines like this with a critical lens.

@wallstengine This reads like a bully signing your yearbook at the end of the year "you suck, have a great summer"

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

When I awoke I spent that on Talismans”

@MSR_Builds @cgtwts LLMs elevate developers, it doesn’t replace them. It’s a tool it is not sentience. This is the correct take.

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@cgtwts

@danielgothits IMO the likely situation is it was a group of developers. Maybe you could argue Back was the public facing forum poster; but if you look at Back's C++ code it does not match stylistically with early bitcoin code

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@RealGameVault The Midnight club games were awesome

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@nostalgia_ This game was awesome. During peak attitude era. Stone Cold on the cover. Hell yeah

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@JohnCarreyrou I think there is an obsession with unmasking satoshi because of the BTC wallets they control but IMO they likely were burned and lost forever as an initial POC. If the real satoshi wanted to cash in and kill the project he / they would have done so already during a bull market

[Leabs @Shadow_Stack]

@JohnCarreyrou This would not hold up in a court of law but its undeniable that ideas in hash cash led to bitcoin. Maybe the ideas are whats important. I think the most likely possibility is that satoshi was a group of the usual suspects giving them plausible deniability (it wasnt me it was us)
