Massive amounts of people with unsustainable lifestyle will stop consuming stuff. How will the whole capitalist economy continue to function with massive amounts of medium-high income people not having the same income anymore ?
I fail to see features that default iOS calendar app already has. The UI seems really simple and there is dozens of amazing calendar apps that have been on the market for 10+ years of features in this price range.
Our problem is not coding. Our problem is knowledge. If no one reads it and no one knows how it works and that’s what the company wants because we need to ship fast then the company doesn’t understand what software is all about.
Code is a language, we write stories that makes a lot of sense and has consequences. If the companies does not care that humans need to know and decide in details the story and how it’s written then let it accept the consequence of a sttastistically generated story with no human supervision. Let it trust the statistics when there will be a bug and no one knows how it works because no one read it and no one is there anymore to debug.
We’ll see in the end if it’s cheaper to let the code be written and only understood by statistical algorithms.
Otherwise, just work differently instead of generating thousand of loc, it’s your responsibility to review and understand no matter how long it takes.
Maybe it’s time to ask deeper questions, ask how to reduce complexity while preserving meaning. Doing real pair programming with shared remote code and simulate as much as possible a real day-to-day environment. Not all companies search for the same kind of developers. Some don’t really care about the person as long as the tech skills are there. Some don’t look for the brightest in favor of a better cultural match with the team.
Genuine remote interviews aren’t easy but it also depends on the interviewer’s skills.
We’ve been touted for year that AI will replace developers, would Elon replace the engineers working on the software of it’s rockets with AI ? It depends what’s at stake. I bet their interviews are quite specific and researched thoroughly.
We can find better ways to create a real connexion in the interviews and still make sure the tech skills are sound without leet code.
We also need developers who master the use of AI and have real skills of thinking before and designing and deep review code skills
Maybe a business/layer would be needed (if that doesn’t exist yet) that pick « best quality » content and provide a curated list as a channel ? YouTube is just the whole catalog. I would definitely like that, channels and curated content from YouTube because I lost so much time finding great content sometimes that it’s sad.
The fundamental way how youtube content is organised is channels. You find a few channels you like, you watch their back catalogue and you subscribe to their new content.
And it is indeed a business layer too. The people making the channel gets paid for their trouble per views. Each channel is a little brand with their own idea of what kind of content they will give to the viewers and in what shape and what kind of quality.
I’m sure what you describe is different from this in some way, but it is weird reading that you wish youtube had channels without mentioning that it already has them.
> because I lost so much time finding great content sometimes that it’s sad.
Idk if you are pickier than me, or have even more niche tastes than I do, because in my experience youtube is full of great content.
Usually YT channels are per creator so it’s usually the same vein of content. But TV has channels from many sources and it’s a manually curated list of content.
I was referring to the same way of aggregating content. TV is old and we don’t need a 1 month program of planned content I guess because everything is on-demand but still. Being able to make a specialty like curated channel and share it to watch it like TV might be a thing.
I used perplexity for searches and I clicked on all sources that were given. Depending on the model used from 100% to 20% of the urls I tested did not exist. I kept on querying the LLM about it and it finally told me that it generated « the most probable » urls for the topic in question based on the ones he knows exists. Useless.
I don’t trust it at all. I wanted to know if he would be able to explain its own results.
Just because it was displaying sources and links made me trust it until I checked and was horrified.
I wanted to know if it was old link that broke or changed but no apparently
>...it finally told me that it generated « the most probable » urls for the topic in question based on the ones he knows exists.
smrq is asking why you would believe that explanation. The LLM doesn't necessarily know why it's doing what it's doing, so that could be another hallucination.
Your answer:
> ...I wanted to know if it was old link that broke or changed but no apparently
Leads me to believe that you misunderstood smrq's question.
No I got the question, I said that I wanted to see what kind of explanation it would give me. Ofc it can hallucinate that explanation as well. The bottom line is I don’t trust it, and the source link are fake (and not broken or obsolete)
I thought I was alone but there is so many comments I wonder how much people is there and if it’s really random or if there is common sources like some stress, airpods or some kind of psychoacoustic event.
I have like 3 different frequencies and it « exploded » in a stressful event at work. I always thought it was music all day with AirPods but it might be stress actually because everytime I’m tired and stressed it’s unbearable.
A nightmare that we learn to live with. I often ask myself what the sound would look like if demodulated and de-pitched if that makes sense. It might seem weird but a voice modulated at a very high frequency and pitch might look like those kind of noises or I am wrong ?
Stress and "posture" are certainly big contributors. Any kind of pressure on the veins and nerves around the ear can cause tinnitus, which includes the muscles in your neck, many of which attach to your shoulders. Sitting at a desk all day, or looking down at a phone, is probably a big contributing factor for many of us.
Stress can also cause us to subconsciously clench our jaws, which again can contribute.
Feeling stressed or fatigued certainly lowers my mental tolerance for annoying bullshit like tinnitus.
Very interesting because I just noticed that when doing an effort like clenching my jaw or something that mobilize neck muscles the sound is x10. So maybe because of bad posture along the years my baseline is higher than it should be ?
