Agree

Personally, I see this as a variation (superset?) of Conway’s Law

“Not having time for it” is usually faulty thinking.

It absolutely is.

The whole point of software design is that any time invested into it pays back multiple times.

Try telling an unreasonable boss this.

My take / how I code:

Method length - when in doubt, and there’s no time to do much thinking due to a tight deadline, shorter is better

(Method length shouldn’t be the determining factor that goes into the design IMO. It should be other principles like cohesion. Shorter methods - on average - just happen to be side-effects of good design)

Comments - generally leave no comment where the code is capable of expressing itself; I do leave comments where it seemed helpful / necessary

Bundling vs TDD - no strong preference; both can be helpful depending on the situation

Bonus: the code for the prime number generator is atrocious. I did not bother reading the sections on it.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I said.

Anjum was absent from the operating room for eight minutes and the patient came to no harm.

it’s that there aren’t even any realistic theoretical applications.

Here’s the neat thing about research: the researcher themselves may not even know the kind of outcomes their research would bring about in the future.

It is not necessarily a known unknown in which we work towards a theoretical application; it could very well be an unknown unknown.

OpenCerts

An easy way for employers to verify that your certifications are authentic.

Tangentially, a lot of scientists do research on topics that do not see application in everyday life immediately.

I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head, but I remember reading articles on how some research bear fruit - ones with huge impacts - only decades later.

To stop research into a topic because there is no practical application now is short-sighted IMO.

“People” as in actual humans? None, I think.

If I block those with frequent trash takes, I won’t get to downvote them next time. Other reasonable people would then see their future posts with higher scores.

xkcd: standards

But while I did not know the concept of loops, I did deduce functions from how main() is being used.

Entire thing was one big recursion.

Bro discovered functional programming.

Did you generate this comment with a LLM for irony?

Those that I find the most useful are those that I (and likely many others) tend to take for granted.

For example, fuzzy logic may very well be used in electronics that involve temperature control - fridge, aircon, rice cooker, water heater - under the hood.

Another one is CSP (constraint-satisfaction problems) solvers which tend to be used in scheduling softwares. A possible use case is public transportation.

There are probably lots more AIs working behind the scenes that benefit everyone, but don’t get the coverage because they are just boring tech now. People may not even consider them AI!

I appreciate these AI for making my life so convenient.

Just thought the phrasing is funny because it is like ATM machine.

ETF index fund

ETF is exchange-traded fund, so “ETF index fund” becomes “exchange-traded fund index fund”

Personally, I found Khan Academy helpful.

For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.

Given your background, you may also be interested in Georgia Tech OMSCS’s Machine Learning for Trading.

Unless you have plenty of time and knowledge - in which case you might as well be a daytrader or join a hedge fund or HFT - you are likely better off taking the easy way out by buying index ETFs.

This post is more fitting for !anime@ani.social IMO.

what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

My understanding is that: the fields of neuroscience and psychology are not developed enough (at this point in time) for anyone to provide a definitive answer to this question.

Anyone who claims otherwise would probably have to make assumptions, and may be talking out of their ass.
