Utterly accurate.

I trust the opinion of the silver beard programmer.

Once you go mainframe you can never go back.

Until the first time you write a mapreduce.

Hmm, mainframes can operate linked and synchronized but they aren’t really built for massively parallel processing problem sets per se.

So they are obsolete.

No they are just really good at financial work.

You bank or deal with brokerages, you are connected with a mainframe.

I had to look that up.

A MapReduce program is composed of a map procedure, which performs filtering and sorting (such as sorting students by first name into queues, one queue for each name), and a reduce method, which performs a summary operation (such as counting the number of students in each queue, yielding name frequencies)

That part is pretty vanilla functional programming .

JavaScript:

const foo = myArray
    .map(fn1)
    .reduce(fn2);

I guess it’s the parallelization and distribution part that makes “mapreduce” it’s own thing but the name is a bit generic.

@Hog yeah it’s about parallelization. These days the applications are mostly straight SQL and the distribution happens on the back end unless you want to add some tuning commands and depending on the platform you use.

From Anton’s video on the new Chinese AI super computer:

“It sort of highlights how absolutely ridiculous and how super-complex our brains are and how efficient they are at doing what they do the best. The human brain is the only such phenomenon on the entire planet that’s able to generate so many ridiculously complex ideas without using huge amounts of power. You can literally do all of this [gestures over his shoulder to image of massive Chinese computer] by just eating an apple.”

Can AI Replace Our Graphic Designer?

We’re playing with the various things and they are scary good.

I’m on the waiting list for the DALL·E 2

When AI starts doing industrial and service design, I might get a bit worried. Graphic design not so much.

Blanks

I got into the beta for Midjourney the other day. It’s kinda wild what that thing can do.

Already rebranding your easy ass work to try to differentiate yourself from AI? Good move.

It’s only easy if you have talent. But no need for rebranding. Industrial design and service design are what I have mostly been doing. Graphic design has played quite a small part in my work history.

How did you learn industrial design in a pre-industrial country?

The same way you learned the word design in a country that sucks in design.

tigger

I have both dall-e and midjourney and IMHO dall-e is better. I guess it might depend on what for.

Railroads do service design against traffic models.

If I didn’t hang out here, I’d probably have no idea what Dall-E2 is about:

Life is so much richer for hanging out @ LOT

I feel that way about my forum. Test reply reply reply.

I’d like to see AI doing actual graphic design and creating layouts, typography, and different styles instead of illustration in which DALL·E 2 can be quite useful.
