If the AI truly becomes human like, then it should also make mistakes like a human does even on simple arithmetic.
Now, AI might make mistakes on simple arithmetic just like humans. However, once the human is given a hint on the fact that there is some simple arithmetic mistake to be corrected without any details, then the human corrects it. But the AI never does.
At this point, I think we need a single C++ book that captures all the best improvements since C++98 and simply skips all legacy. Just skip it as if it does not exist.
Only then will new programmers feel encouraged to look at C++ in a fresh new light. And the book remains thin.
I just loved it - that the web page is simply so clean...
Inspecting the downloads, it comprises exactly one HTML, one CSS and an Image. Loads super fast. Good old 90s.
Its all in the wording.
Such probability questions have deflated and dumbfounded generations of students and general public trying to learn the subject.
It will help greatly if authors annotate unsolved problems with difficulty levels to let unmentored readers know what they are up against.
Yes, its painstaking for authors to provide solutions to all problems so why not let readers contribute and post their solutions ? The link to such a forum can be part of the book text.
And thank you for the superb book.
If there is a big war like that between superpowers, I bet we will have so much to cry about that we will give a damn even if our investments go down to zero !
I find that it helps most if we make algorithms the centerpiece of the design and then use inheritance to facilitate coding and make everything succinct.
The days of unwieldy inheritance structures coming out of big design patterns are clearly over.
This just shows that you don't really need 50K employees to make what Google does. You just need a few hundred brilliant ones who churn out something that makes super normal profits and carries the rest of the thousands of employees through. The rest of the staff will surely do something useful, but it could be just like finding the best screws to secure the covering of the already functioning nuclear reactor.
