Pragmatically, we can say that AGI is reached when it's no longer easy to come up with problems that regular people can solve (with no prior training) and that are infeasible for AI models. Right now it's still easy to come up with such problems, so we don't have AGI.

The hard parts of software are what come next. when you scope, integrate, scale, upgrade, instrument... when you extend it, understand it, and maintain it. Over the entirety of its lifetime.
Generative AI isn't making this easier. If anything, it's making the real work harder.

When I am saying I personally am not promoting or benefitting from crypto - PoW of any kind - I mean it.
Updated my job board terms to reflect this. Said no to a fiat-to-crypto company wanting to post several ads.
I personally do not support the environmental impact of PoW.
ALT Unfortunately, I and cannot take business promoting companies in this space. My concerns are environmental (anything supporting PoW including ETH and BTC). Hope you understand.

With today's clearing skies, the NASA MODIS satellite got a clear view of the extent of snow cover over Western Washington. You don't see a view like this often. #wawx

This month a special visitor passed over the Goshute Mountains HawkWatch: a male Golden Eagle that was tagged in 2014 by @WDFW Research Scientist Jim Watson (@jlwatson00's dad!). This eagle migrates to the Grand Canyon each fall and then returns in the spring. How cool is that?!

We want to run a survey for VS users with low vision, but I'd like to dry run it first. I really don't want to run a survey collecting feedback and find out it's inaccessible.
If any low-vision folks are willing to help out, please message me.

Relieved that Microsoft leadership made this call. Creating software and services is one of the few occupations that can transition to a remote-first workplace. If we can help to stem the transmission and save lives, that’s the responsible thing to do. businessinsider.com/microsof…
