(1) You go to the store and buy a microwave pizza. You go home, put it in the microwave, heat it up. Maybe itā€™s not quite the way you like it, so you put some red pepper on it, maybe some oregano.

Are you a pizza chef? No. Do we know what your cooking is like? Also no.

(2) You create a prompt for StableDiffusion to make a picture of an elephant. What pops out isnā€™t quite to your liking. You adjust the prompt, tweak it a bunch, till the elephant looks pretty cool.

Are you an artist? No. Do we know what your art is like? Also no.

The elephant is ā€œfake artā€ in a similar sense to how a microwave pizza is ā€œfake pizzaā€. Thatā€™s what I meant by that word. The microwave pizza is a sort of ā€œsimulation of pizzaā€, in this sense. The generated elephant picture is a simulation of art, in a similar sense, though itā€™s even worse than that and is probably more of a simulacrum of art since you canā€™t ā€œconsumeā€ an AI-generated image the way you ā€œconsumeā€ art.

On LinkedIn I see a lot of posts aimed at software developers along the lines of ā€œIf youā€™re not using these AI tools (X,Y,Z) youā€™re going to be left behind.ā€

Two things about that:

  1. No youā€™re not. If you have good soft skills (good communication, show up on time, general time management) then youā€™re already in excellent shape. No AI can do that stuff, and for that alone no AI can replace people
  2. This rhetoric is coming directly from the billionaires who are laying off tech people by the 100s of thousands as part of the class war theyā€™ve been conducting against all working people since the 1940s. They want you to believe that you have to scramble and claw over one another to learn the ā€œAIā€ that theyā€™re forcing onto the world, so that you stop honing the skills that matter (see #1) and are easier to obsolete later. Donā€™t fall for it. Itā€™s far from clear how this will shake out once governments get off their asses and start regulating this stuff, by the wayā€“most of these ā€œAIā€ tools are blatantly breaking copyright and other IP laws, and some day thatā€™ll catch up with them.

That said, it is helpful to know thy enemy.

So. Some bits.

i := fIndex(xs, 5.6)

Can also be

i := Index(xs, 5.6)

The compiler can infer the type automatically. Looks like you mention that later.

Also the infer is super smart.. You can define functions that take functions with generic types in the arguments. This can be useful for a generic value mapper for a repository

func Map[U,V any](rows []U, fn func(U) V) []V {
  out := make([]V, len(rows))
  for i := range rows { out = fn(rows[i]) }
  return out
}


rows := []int{1,2,3}
out := Map(rows, func(v int) uint64 { return uint64(v) })

I am pretty sure the type parameters goes the other way with the type name first and constraint second.

func Foo[comparable T](xs T, s T) int

Should be


func Foo[T comparable](xs T, s T) int
