At some point in the early 1900's, someone poked holes in a punch card to create the first "computer code." This has been pretty universally accepted as a bad idea.

@dataandpolitics I literally just logged into twitter for the first time in years to see if you had any GA thoughts. Glad to see you're leaving this hellsite and let's catch up in a (hopefully better) new world :).

Hey @stkbailey! I recently read your article on Airflow's problems https://t.co/NPzdCXg25U and was wondering if I could grab a few minutes of your time? I'm working on an OSS Airflow abstraction and wanted to discuss it in comparison to some of the points you made :).

Stop what you’re doing and read this entire post on the GPT-4 code interpreter plugin. This is completely bonkers and is going to change everything. https://t.co/0VHHb47dAQ

A glib line I have said for years: the first AI designed to disemploy programmers was called a compiler. It worked very well and caused explosive growth in programmer employment.

@jfischoff @zachweinberg I guess if it’s a problem you could find a company that’s based closer to you or move closer to where the company is based? I’d imagine where this is a bigger problem is multinational teams/hyper distributed

i find that GPT4 acts as a cognitive energy augmentation. you tire less easily trying to wade thru drudgery. it’s not smarter than you, it’s just seen all the common failure modes ever and knows how to debug them

@imbernomics To be clear, if/when Yellowstone blows, the entire continental United States will melt

[Nick St. Pierre @nickfloats]

AI tech is creating entirely new creative workflows.

NeRF's are 1 example I'm particularly excited about, & a company called @LumaLabsAI makes capturing them insanely easy.

@GergelyOrosz So I guess the conventional wisdom of "cut once and cut deep" no longer applies

[Daniel Imberman @danimberman]

@JamesTimmins Is this 3.5 or 4?

[Daniel Imberman @danimberman]

@nikillinit I bet there is already someone who has used chatGPT to summarize a letter that was also written by chatGPT

[Yosarian2 @YosarianTwo]

Holy shit. GPT-4, on it's own; was able to hire a human TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPACHA for it and convinced the human to go along with it.

@endingwithali Would you say he was highly available?

[Daniel Imberman @danimberman]

@isvictoriousss @QuinnyPig If I am a business with my money in a mid-sized bank and I find out that if my bank fails I can be SOL for months without any of my capital, I’m immediately moving to a “safe” bank like JPMC. If every business does this we will have a run on every midsized bank.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Company accounts invariably have more than $250k in them; it’s where payroll comes from, as the first priority.

All SVB’s customers did was “put their operating capital in a bank.” If banks that aren’t basically JPMC come to be viewed as uncertainties we’ve got problems.

[Daniel Imberman @danimberman]

@carterforva This is 100% false. The bank has assets. It will take time but depositors will be made as whole as possible.

[Daniel Imberman @danimberman]

@bricegramm @GergelyOrosz That seems to just be saying that they created a new bank to move the accounts to while they liquidate the bank. It's not saying "the money is gone here is your 250k insurance", unless I'm misreading.
