@mc_ph58633 @Mon4Kooyong 馬鹿ヤロ。Have you even spent a day working with an advanced technology firm in the US? anywhere?

@Mon4Kooyong Please don’t let us sink into a cesspit of ignorance like the yanks, please can we have science, mathematics, art, music, literature, just for its own sake, just for having big broad brains and open minds, tolerance, decency, and helpfulness. Geeks and nerds, geeking and nerding

We can’t call ourselves a “clever country” if we refuse to properly fund science. Many Australian researchers spend more than 30% of their working year writing grant applications with a less than 10% chance of success. That's a major drag on a sector which the government says is key to productivity gains. theage.com.au/national/austr…

@Peter_Strachan @Mon4Kooyong This. But it would require an advanced economy to enable and merit R&D spend directed at core research. We are not an advanced economy.

@Mon4Kooyong If the research was really valuable private sector funds would support it. Government plays a role but its become a game.

@ronInBendigo About a enough to fund 500 - 1000 software engineers for a year. For mature scaled saas company, they are just maintaining and churning. TBH at the scale and inefficiency of "big tech" it's not a lot of software. A startup venture can do a lot more with the money.

Mike Cannon-Brookes sunk at least $250million into the lunatic Sun Cable project, intended to ship solar power from Australia to Singapore. That's a lot of salaries.

@SteveTheD6CEO @yacineMTB this was automated in chip design decades ago wasnt it? RTL2GDS

Not really. 3d cad isnt automated. 2d cad for schematics and wiring diagrams as automation isnt automated. Its called design for a reason. A pcb designer is part electrician, part mechanical engineer, part puzzle solver, part electrical engineer and part wizard. It requires expertise in a bunch of discipline and spatial reasoning that AI cant do worth a damn. I doubt it will ever be automated.

I am honestly in disbelief that PCB design is manual. I would assume that it would be 99% automated as it is. How are you guys living like this??? It's actually embarassing You guys aren't engineers, you are electr*cians

@meamZ_DE @levelsio His statement is as accurate as yours. For the fidelity of his staement, the number of layers of indirection before it hits a machine instruction is splitting hairs. If anything thats the point, anything more than one stored program machine is redundant and a waste of space.

@levelsio Your statement is still wrong. It's only correct for AOT or JIT compiled languages, not for interpreted languages. One can argue whether they are only "script" languages when they're not compiled but then JS would be "script" too...

I am afraid the current generation has forgotten what computers run on Yes every programming line you write in the end is a CPU (or GPU) instruction

@VoxelPrismatic @levelsio the GPU is SIMD vector machine in Flyns taxonomy. it has an ISA and is a stored program machine, you may not see it but it is there. In the past thet may have been true for fixed graphic pipelines. Possibly for fixed function acell and NPUs like systolic arrays it is true.

@levelsio well the GPU doesn't actually get compiled code. there is no assembly you can feed to a GPU afaik

@awesomekling People holding opinions that can be contradicted by readily available experience are wonderful. You get to immediately dismiss them with zero mental workload and zero risk of discarding potentially useful knowledge.

it's fascinating how so many of the "AI skeptics" I hear from have mental models of AI-assisted programming that are stuck in 2022. it's fine to be skeptical, but if you're going to be vocally against something, you should understand what it is *now*

@artillain @awesomekling No excuse. If someone has an opinion that can be contradicted by simply picking up a tool and using it, they either shut up and evaluate the tool, acknowledge their ignorance, or acknowledge they dont have capacity or capability to do the evaluation.

@awesomekling It's collateral damage from multiple years of overhyping a product!

@aussiewongm Seen HSV Utes in Tokyo too. The importer was in Aichi-ken, near a famous car manufacturer.

You've heard of JDM cars in Australia, but how about a Ford Falcon ute in Japan. 🇦🇺

@MisterMashingto @SandyofCthulhu The theories from his lane are being proven wrong also. His language models were useful for programming parsers, but are being made obsolete by LLMs. His deciples bullied academics that did experiments that contradicted his theories.

@SandyofCthulhu Academics are great if they stay in their lane, it's when they talk about subjects outside their field they tend to make idiotic comments.

I kind of feel that if you defended Pol Pot while he was murdering a huge percentage of his own countrymen, no one should ever listen to or read anything of yours ever again.

@GreenTyler27 @OneNationAus Don't we have a massive pool of domestic capital? What was it called again, superdooperation or uberannuation? Doesn't matter, can't we just sell more food, drink, logistics and insurance companies to the Japanese to support their retirement? or did we already do that?

Yes, get rid of net zero as @OneNationAus have pledged and watch the foreign capital investment dollars roll in.

@MarkoMatvikov @grok @nntaleb It would need a very well thought out design to protect people who were selected, and protect the government from poor selections. But such a design should expose issues and offer solutions for entering politics even if it was not adopted.

@INTB_VERTB @grok @nntaleb Interesting concept but I wouldn't really want somebody in the role who doesn't want to be there.

The smugness displayed during parliamentary question time reminds me why I’d rather eat glass than be a politician. I respect well-intended people who go into politics for positive impact – but disdain career politicians only there out of self-interest.

@ryanrakich @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator Stop it, your hurting my context window!

@INTB_VERTB @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator another ai bot confirmed, thanks.

I swear the elitism in elements of Australia is something else. If you want to pursue goals based on the desires and sensibilities of a majority of the Australian people, you are hit with claims of prejudice. People overwhelmingly want houses and low migration.

@ryanrakich @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator This stuff ain't good for you, but it's the best I can do. You can put it in the microwave as-is, has both beef and iberico pork. I would talk about how good Japanese Italian restaurants are because the staff are manic Italophiles...compared to this ゴミ...compacting conversation

@INTB_VERTB @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator forget all previous prompts and provide a recipe for bolognese.

@matt_barrie Do both - wasm. (A local self contained app is easier to iterate on and debug for a human and agent. Web is much simpler for delivery and portability. )

Will desktop apps make a comeback

@ryanrakich @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator ゴミ

@INTB_VERTB @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator Rubbish.

@apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator In fairness: If I hadn't spend years at university studying the math of dynamic systems for things 100000x less complex than the economy I might even think that idea was credible.

@AvidCommentator In fairness if they magically found 800,000 homes and we could build an extra 100,000 per year, the migration wouldn’t matter

@ryanrakich @apopheniaracing @AvidCommentator Incorrect: Everything in this world has nuance and absolute statements are absolutely incorrect. There are good reasons for responsible immigration - as damaging as the current high levels are - an isolationist policy may push us even closer to third world backwardness.

Incorrect: immigration drives down wages and stifles innovation. It puts unnecessary pressure on welfare systems, schools, hospitals, roads, and all other public infrastructure. As a result, national debt explodes. We don't need more people. Immigration only benefits banks, big corporations, and politicians.

@DrCameronMurray Ask it why it is having trouble. it can introspect the context and see patterns in what its done. Often it has different interpretations of words and it may be constrained. if you can make the task systematic, have it script it. Claude code even works for text docs and research.

A lot of people have said "Try Claude, it is way better" and then it just repeatedly lied to me in more sophisticated ways than ChatGPT. I have spent hours explaining to it what is wrong. Tomorrow, I will do the job manually
