It’s great for sheet music and for DnD DMing. I also use it store all things I write. I don’t use links though, I’m a barbarian who uses folders and canvases
I use the app for two things mainly: DnD DMing and sheet music. I think it’s deep but I mostly just make canvases and copy paste in images and then move those around to a useful shape. I put in tables, text, images, and all on canvases. I don’t use links really, I probably should but I use the known Folder structure to get to whichever canvas I’m working on.
Nice illusion of competence on easy conditions…Until it hits a person and Tesla EV performs far worse than the Waymo both during th crash and afterwards PR wise. Guarantee you Elon will throw the driver under the bus for not watching, not his sketchy system.
It’s vaporware and it’s dollars and cents. Tesla EVs are already too expensive. He has no margin to include thousands more on sensors, alternative being the lawsuits that would follow if he admits it was all vaporware.
Since Luddites smashed textile machines in England three hundred years ago, it seems technology didn’t care, it kept growing apace due to capitalism. Money and greed fed the process, we never stood a chance of stopping any of it.
Why is that safe in the medium to long term? If LLMs can code monkey already after just 4 years, why assume in a couple more they can’t talk to the seniors’ direct report and get requirements from them? I’m learning carpentry just in case.
Sort of ironic. My dad coded on hole punch cards and hated it, hated th physicality of that. Now he super loves AI, having left the field 20 years ago due to language fatigue.
Did society actually value those skills before? Maybe companies or individuals did, but giving coded instructions to computers was seen by most as wizardry at best and geeky at worst. Unfortunately, I feel society values tackling and home run hitting, superficial beauty, and wealth, far more than technical skills.
Typical HN comment. They’re so in the weeds of edge case 1% concerns they can’t see the golden age around them.
Most people living through golden ages might not know it. Many workers in Industrial Revolution saw a decline in relative wages. Many in the Roman Empire were enslaved or impoverished. That doesn’t mean history doesn’t see these as golden ages, where golden age is defined loosely as a broad period of enhanced prosperity and productivity for a group of people.
For all its downsides, pointed out amply above, the golden age of computing started 100 years ago and hasn’t ceased yet.
> Many workers in Industrial Revolution saw a decline in relative wages.
Yeah! Why weren't all those children with mangled limbs more optimistic about the future? Why weren't they singing the praises of the golden age around them? Do you think it would have resulted in a golden age for anyone except a very small few if the people hadn't spoken out against the abuses of the greedy industrialists and robber barons and united against them?
If you can't see what's wrong with what's happening in front of you today and you can't see ahead to what's coming at you in the future you're going to be cut very badly by those "edge cases". Instead of blinding ourselves to them, I'd recommend getting into those weeds now so that we can start pulling them up by their roots.
The question should be "golden age FOR WHOM?" because the traditional meaning of that phrase implies a society-wide raising of the quality of life. It remains to be seen whether the advent of AI signifies an across-the-board improvement or a furthering of the polarization between the haves and have nots.
"the golden age of computing started 100 years ago"
Only 14% of Americans described themselves as "very happy" in recent studies, a sharp decline from 31% in 2018.
woohoo we did it, our neighbors are being sent to prison camps who work with the "golden age" bringers. Go team. Nice "golden age" you got there, peasant.
So what your saying is lots of people being unemployed and dying from lack of resources is merely a "downside" and we should all just support your mediocre idea of what a "golden age" is?
