The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 6 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Taylor: Python is a comically bad programming language for AI to generate
“Python is probably the most common generated code just because how much it's in the training data and data scientists love Python and I love Python too. It's such a comically bad thing for AI to generate just because it's one of the most inefficient programmin…”
Deng: Future generations will not need to write code for work
“I don't actually think he's gonna have to code when he grows up. I think that's gonna be a solved problem, but it's a very, very valuable skill because I think learning to program is learning how to think structure in a structured way, right?”
Deng: ChatGPT often just writes and executes Python code internally
“When ChatGPT does something really interesting, I tell people it's oftentimes just writing Python code and interpreting it.”
Salva: GitHub Copilot generates 40% of code for Python developers
“And so just to put a fine point on that stat, it is 40% is specifically for Python developers. It candidly, it varies depending upon the language.”
Code is better suited for AI models than natural languages
“In fact, They're kind of nice from an AI perspective because they're relatively constrained in terms of their semantics, right? The number of words, and I put that in scare quotes, as it were, that can be expressed in Python, for example, is much smaller than …”
Widjaja: Gojek's first growth SMS experiment increased driver acceptance by 2%
“Our first real growth experiment, we were actually still the data team at this time, was to connect a quick Python script to the Twilio API that we had access to. And we SMSed a bunch of drivers through a CSV that we uploaded that said like, Hey, you're accept…”
