What would be worse is AI doing this with a million other lines and having to review all this in a PR.

"AI code is crap."

The shit your human engineers get up to:

[François Chollet @fchollet]

Software engineers shouldn't fear being replaced by AI. They should fear being asked to maintain the sprawling mess of AI-generated legacy code their employer's systems will soon run on.

Because that one will actually happen.

@mgill25 I am sure it might be increasing them. More time goes into solving problems of integration that may not be as straight forward as a prompt.

@mgill25 @Delta2315 @prabhatexit0 @ttanay100 Would have loved to catchup if was not in bengaluru

@jaidevd This is too comfortable for me to focus. I can't even work on a sofa. There is a level of discomfort that probably is required for attention.

This is definitely a good idea. A narvodiya Vidyalaya attached to uni specializing in math. This could give great boost to future research

[Nilesh Trivedi @nileshtrivedi]

One of the very interesting innovations in the UK education system is the high-schools specializing in the study of mathematics.

These are called "Maths schools", have selective admissions, are sponsored by a nearby university and receive additions grants from the government.

@kingsmathschool was the first one started in 2014 and the models seems to be working well enough that a few years later, more like @ExeterMathsSc @CamMathsSchool @LivMathsSchool @LUSoM_ have come up.

It seems to be the need of the hour for India as well.

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Current LLMs are trained on text data that would take 20,000 years for a human to read.
And still, they haven't learned that if A is the same as B, then B is the same as A.
Humans get a lot smarter than that with comparatively little training data.
Even corvids, parrots, dogs, and octopuses get smarter than that very, very quickly, with only 2 billion neurons and a few trillion "parameters."

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

@jaidevd Looks like your friends are heading towards middle ages.

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

Yes, fundamentally I think people work for ego. Money just seems give them a clear sense of boost.

[RandomSpark @ShripadAgashe]

@realmeson10 If not money then it is often for the ego. So is working for ego better or money better?

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

I am not sure if this is accidental or fraud @IndiGo6E
but you have an internal domain exposed for search on google. If anything you should at least make this non crawable.

Turns out the Shahmukhi character set was still in the works when I was working on the above project. On a similar note, the initial domain for Punjabi wikipedia also was simply for a Gurmukhi-based wiki with subdomain of pb,which I remember was changed to pb_IN and pb_PK. 4/n

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

I was reminded of some things I saw very early in my career. My first piece of professional work was helping adapt a spell checker aspell to Punjabi. Aspell worked very well for indic languages 1\n

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

At that time, I had a vague idea that Punjabi was written differently as "Shahmukhi" in West Punjab, And I wondered how people there would write if this is the Punjabi Unicode character set. 3/n

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

I just thought socio-political ideas also have an engineering impact. Why I suddenly remembered about this, though, I don't know, or do I.

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

@ponnappa @protosphinx I think non-tech has been mislead to mean non expertise. If anything it's likely that non-tech founder has better understanding of the problem space.

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

@apansinghal To more last change in attitudes.

[Amit Singh Sethi @Dusual]

@apansinghal Not to say that it wasn't a great movie. But it was much like any other bollywood movie which is fine by itself but the very nature of bollywood as a mass medium has always meant that it makes things too simple. And ever so often we as society don't take the leap forward 1/2
