Ah yes, what C needs is VTABLEs.

For now. Ten years ago OpenAI was founded. Who knows where we’ll be in 10 more years.

Illegal I don’t know, but it could be considered bullying.

Some kind of ring that links webs together?

None of that is new, it’s just not profitable and so we (humankind) dropped it.

This is in addition to the first year of losses, which are likely higher.

Disagree. UN is a diplomacy tool, NATO is a defense organization. Entirely different goals, and if UN was a defense organization something else would have filled the void for diplomacy and you’d say UN wouldn’t be necessary.

You don’t play diplomacy with your friends. And you cannot get your enemies to sit down if you’re aiming a gun at them. The UN not having teeth is the point.

My kid is learning HTML so… maybe?

I also studied Blade. - You mean the blade? - no no. Blade. The whole trilogy. Like a million times. I can recite it by heart.

That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.

The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.

But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.

They’re regulating engineering of software and electronics.

From Engineers Canada;

In the case of software engineering, a piece of software (or a software-intensive system) can therefore be considered an engineering work if both of the following conditions are true:

• The development of the software required “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.”

• There is a reasonable expectation that failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the natural environment.

That does seem to me well defined. If you disagree then it’s okay.

Edit: taken from this: https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/public-policy/professional-practice-software-engineering-en.pdf which also add context.

I cannot speak about electronics as my education was in software engineering.

Software development is done by developers. If you are a software engineer chances are you’re working on software infrastructure that actually apply at scales that are not “add a shopping cart to this blog”.

There are reasons you ask a civil engineer for work.

It’s a good thing that Engineer is a protected profession and not everyone can claim it, like Lawyer or Doctor.

In the US now it’s “oh you’re an engineer? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

Yep the ASCII table just goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, …

Man try to work in retail for a month and tell me that again.

0.3% is a decent chunk?

Neural engines are coming to basically all CPUs. It won’t be long before you can run your own girlfriend offline on your phone. Training the data is the expensive part after all. I can already run basic llama 2B on my iPad, though offloading the software instead of just downloading off the App Store.

I’m fairly sure anyone with a good GPU can also run these, but I haven’t tried.

Companies were doing that with NFTs (which is what you’re describing) but now nobody want to touch an NFT so those companies definitely went bust.

The best case will be companies who can hide the crypto behind the product, like “give us 5$ and we’ll give you 5 read-a-tokens which is totally not crypto btw”. Or wait a couple of years for crypto to come back in vogue.

I think you can charge per article on substack. Not entirely sure though.

Some newspaper charge X$ for Y articles, I think the NYTimes do it or used to. It’s usually a horrible deal compared to monthly subscription, but I think that’s the point.
