Would Altman shine within Microsoft? Seems like raising capital is his main skill set, and theres no need for that now. But from Microsofts point of view this prevents a new competitor from popping up.
I tried that once, but paying changed the ui in some way that I found to be a huge degradation. Dont remember what exactly it was, but now Im using the adblocker again. Just ublock works fine btw, as long as you keep it and its filters up to date.
Sure, but in those industries the users leave, the company suffers and the executives get fired. VC are attracted to moaty business models where users cant leave.
This only happens when the users are the product or its a marketplace. Most business models dont suffer from shittification. But VCs love investing in the ones that do.
Ive gotten some use out of ChatGPT for system design. I describe my problem, it recommends solutions, I ask follow up questions and add more context etc… Just like I would work with an actual collegue. Then in the end I still have to go to the source docs but the option space is often so large that I find this initial back and forth very helpful.
Coding tools, like Copilot, are completely useless on the other hand. I think they would need to be integrated with the compiler and the IDEs indexes to be of real value. Perhaps you would also need another network architecture than transformers to really understand the tree shaped nature of code as well.
Theyre already noticably plataeuing when it comes to coding, which similarly requires you to navigate tree structures and plan how to connect existing things together using shortest paths rather than inventing things out of thin air.
If you don't want to publish events from uncommitted transactions you'll have to first store them in a local table and then move them to the queue after the commit. But if all consumers have direct access to the database anyway...
Ive been curious about that book ever since Rich Hickey recommended it but couldnt easily get my hands on a copy and kinda forgot about it. This was a great review; Im going to give it another try.
IntelliJ has much superior code completion even for dynamic languages such as Python and Clojure. I seem to recall having tested Javascript too, but I could be misremembering there as its been a while since I didn't use use Typescript.
Whenever I try to use something other than IntelliJ (generally VS Code) I'm always struck by how awful the code completion and auto-imports are. I really hope we can get a lightweight editor with those two functions working properly.
However, I don't see how you can do either of those features well without a lot of indexing of the codebase. And indexing is a major reason why IntelliJ so so clunky.
This is in no way a realistic study. A dull and rambling voice speaking about some random thing not related to you or your work will make people disengage. Doodling presumably keeps people from totally spacing out.
