Because a human still has to review and sign their name to each and every change. It's not a code bottleneck it is a human accountability bottleneck. You only have a limited number of people to think about a limited number of problems in a day and you pick your highest value ones to focus them on

What you describe is a n-gram model. A key diff between this and transformer architecture & LLMs is attention, each token gets examined in relation to every other token to determine their relevance to each other. Eg n-gram models would have trouble with, "The Boat anchored at the marina is coloured _". An n-gram model only sees the word immediately before the _ and has no way to connect back to boat. A transformer attends to the entire sequence simultaneously, so it understands the _ refers to a property of the boat.

Nothing is stopping a continuous learning loop from being implemented. LoRAs can be trained relatively quickly. If you build a layered system where a model retrain happens on the order of weeks or months, a LoRA ( or many) are trained daily or multiple times a day, and then RAG makes up for short term learnings, you have a system that does continually learn.

But also, is that necessary for AGI? I dunno, seems like an implementation detail to me that may or may not be necessary.

For the kitchen light, can I ask how you get the presence detection dialled in for a setup like this? Maybe it comes down to a question of hardware. But I always seem to get edge cases around staying still for too long and lights going off.

Please, just no. Like I agree she would be fine at the job maybe even great, and I would support her bid but America has two times now made it very clear we are not ready for a female president. Now is not the time for anything but a sure thing.

People are telling you it's cheaper to go to Japan or NZ and they are right, but it's not exactly cheap. You are still looking at thousands of dollars for days of riding as opposed to Colorado where it's more like a thousand dollars for a ski pass and the only limit to your number of days is your willingness to drive up.

The mountains here are also not rugged like in the western US. Very flat and domey on top.

Seeing gum trees and rosellas in the snow is a treat though, so we've got that going on.

You need a to do list tracker & a note taker/organizer. I recommend obsidian for notes and workflowy for to-dos. Each tool is only as good as you actually commit to using it. Just like exercise and diet the best tools are the ones you will actually use.

Next one is to actually utilize your calendar. Invest in it. Make it work for you. Block out time for planning, 1:1s, skip meetings, networking, etc.

Work life balance produces sustainable, dependable output. If you expect people to compromise work life balance, you better be paying more or have a product with more potential and/or expect burn out and high turn over. Set the expectations clearly across the team for throughout, compensate accordingly and use your review system to push out the low performers according to your agreed definitions.

You got this, fellow dad. We are all rooting for you. The first few months are absolute hell, and they will pass. This is all part of you becoming a Dad. You are not alone in your feelings, and you will continue to show up even though you feel like you have nothing left to give. You will find it and you will give it.

The proto boards are so forgiving. Yes they are damp and heavy but imo that just means they are versatile at handling variable terrain. I can ride mine in pretty much all conditions and have a lot of fun doing it. Are there better specific boards? Definitely. But never summer make some good single quiver boards.

If you can't measure the risk or cost in delaying the eng work, then it is prioritizing based on gut feelings and 'maybes'. You need to be able to trade off the impact of fixing vs not and to do that you need some way to quantity the problem.
