Personally I find I’m able to focus on high level design problems which I enjoy a lot. I still enjoy crafting elegant solutions to unique problems, but at least in my current job, most code is trivial and feels tedious to write by hand. Also, LLMs generate better code than some of my coworkers. Most of the slop I’ve had to deal with this year is in 20+ y/o codebases, and none of it was generated by LLMs.

Very fast, too!

This guy’s got upper management written all over him.

Yep. It’s a “write once, read never” storage medium.

Only if they get caught. Seems like a lot of money for a flawed system.

OK, then what about the kids who only have 1 phone but claim to have none?

How does this work, are all students required to put a phone in the locker? What about kids who can’t afford a phone?

And what about kids who get a second phone to put in the locker so they can keep their main phone?

It’s not a threat, it’s a plea.

No, it’s far cheaper to scan a stack of loose papers than it is to scan a bound book, that’s why they’re cutting the pages out. And most of the books aren’t that valuable, even if they’re rare. So it’s an accounting decision to destroy the books.

It will never generate something novel. Whether it will generate something “new” depends on your definition of “new,” which is a little more ambiguous than “novel.”

Sorry if I’m being too pedantic.

Even better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_umbrella

Although that might be more of an offensive umbrella…

Wireless is also critical, but I’m starting to think your confusion is more around grammar than technology.

Underwater cables being used for parts of the internet is not the same thing as “internet means wires.”

That’s not quite right. Projectors make headlights less blinding. It would be worse if we still used basic reflectors. Also, not all vehicles use expensive LED headlights.

Back to your original argument: you aren’t saying you think an IR HUD would be less complicated than a cheap halogen bulb in a projector, are you? Because that would be rediculous.

There’s a lot more that goes into to than you think. A camera and HUD will never be as cheap as a bulb and a reflector.

Of course the cost would come down (slightly) if a new tech goes mainstream, but you don’t think an IR HUD could become as cheap as regular headlights, do you?

I’m still not sure we’re in agreement, but maybe we are? I’m saying the US auto market has never had enough influence to block a cost-effective safety feature from appearing on foreign markets. Another person pointed out that the IR HUD was used on a luxury car and the high cost probably prevented its widespread use.

Are you correcting my post or yours? I was speaking in the past tense.

Makes sense.

I think you’re over estimating the amount of influence the US auto market has had.
