Maybe we will all be CEOs or Board chairs of our own corporations employing agents. And we work to find the best agents to increase efficiencies, improve effectiveness, etc.
Exactly. The parameters you can configure are there due to a lack of automating those since what you want to optimize for might be different than an automaton would.
A little context may be of help. Maybe a better headline for the article would have been, "How Can You Determine if your PostgreSQL Instance's Workload is Read-Heavy or Write-Heavy?"
It's useful to know to help optimize settings and hardware for your workload as well as to nkow whether an index might be useful or not. Most major DBMSs will have some way to answer this question, the article is aimed at PostgreSQL only.
I took an IQ exam in grade school. Went fine until I encountered a number sequence, what is the next number kind of thing. I found a pattern, and it's predicted number was not listed as possible choices. That was total crap. I got vexed and then tried to answer the last 3/4 of the test wrong. Parents were later told I was gifted. (Maybe they meant it as euphemism! Ha!). I later learned of a little-known proof that for every sequence, there are infinite number of correct next-numbers. So the test was flawed. As an adult I took a High IQ test and scored 179. (I still dont' grok epsilon-delta proofs and probably never will). I was tested in college against an IQ test and broke it by solving the unsolvable portion through a stochastic technique. He had to go back to his original assumptions.
I'd say, as a group, those with a higher IQ than another group from a random selection of a normally distributed population, they can be expected to perform better on mental tasks that we care about. But at the individual level? Meaningless. Feynman was ~120. I, who have not contributed to anything like quantum physics scored higher, much higher.
For AI, an IQ test is interesting, but I would randomize the temperature (and other knobs) and take lots of samples. Keep in mind a relatively low IQ can blow away an AI on all kinds of things like compassion, understanding the pains of the human condition, self-sacrifice, etc. (etc. means a whole book could be worth exploring).
The equation to rank links is a poor substitute for an editor. Editors used to be the gateway of information that was disbursed via newspaper, radio, and TV. They were not without fault. So what is the least faulty filter? (Even your own brain, eyes, and ears are faulty, sorry perfectionists.) You cannot trust video or audio now due to deepfakes. What can you trust as a source of information more than 50%?
There's still information in the noise, you have to become your own editor.
If a developer making $1/hour produces $10 output (of something people buy), then if you add another developer making $1/hour produces $10 of output, you have $20 total product. Developer A and B can compete on their rate down to the point that it's not sustainable, and thus, an equilibrium will be struck.
How is adding more developers going to reduce the output?
Title does not approximate well the article. Ad probandum: "Computing is not yet overcome. GPT-4 is impressive, but a layperson can’t wield it the way a programmer can. I still feel secure in my profession."
A little bird told me that it was easier to break up big projects into classes and farm them out than in other languages at the time. The `protected` keyword for example prevented the other developer(s) from modifying that part of the object, creating safety.
Artificial intelligence firm DeepMind has transformed biology by predicting the structure of nearly all proteins known to science in just 18 months, a breakthrough that will speed drug development and revolutionise basic science
Sorry for the vagueness and your burnout. I'd look for a professional that specializes in burnout, barring that, a good physician would be the first place to start. There could be underlying health conditions you want to eliminate such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or sub-clinical thyroid issues. You could have your cortisol levels tested to confirm your stress levels once underlying conditions are eliminated. From my personal research there's a lot of factors involved, stress the major trigger. It's serious and important enough you want to get a professional involved. Sending good energy your way.
High performance requires high maintenance. If you are burnt out or have symptoms or even suspect, I strongly urge to get a team together to help. It's something you have to actively watch out for (at least for some people) and actively treat. Here are two data points: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28119229/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29057125/
"Taken together we therefore have determinism with the occasional, random quantum jump, and no combination of these two types of laws allows for anything resembling this intuitive idea that we can somehow choose which possible future becomes real." How do we know that the present moment is deterministic, the whole of the present is only the result of the whole of the past? Don't we have to know/understand everything to draw such a conclusion?
Sampling the set of Mensa members is not the same as sampling "superior IQs".
digression: My personal preference is to call IQ a testing quotient and not intelligence quotient--it's more specific and less qualitative, for "intelligence" is overloaded.
Saw this last night: http://www.anotesark.com/ Had never heard of Kiribati (pronounced roughly Kiribahs). That country could be the canary in the coal mine for the rest of us. Glad there are people such as Gates who are not waiting around.
