This looks like my garage. It’s a little more organized though
It’s not really comparable to conventional programming. Machine learning really does benefit from scale and gets better and faster overall with scale. We do something similar in another field and have over 30 million unique curated items with from ten to twenty orthogonal classifications of each. We deal with billions of images a year. Our models can get us meaningful results on anything new with 99.9% accuracy. There are people who are much more accurate than the model but your average person off the street is not even with training.
I think a better measure of output is either new test cases or new story points, not lines of code.
And there are massive differences between programmers. Your best programmers who actually understand things from top to bottom can individually replace entire teams and come up with concepts to tremendously automate or streamline things.
I started programming in Junior High. By my first real job coding I used a LISP compiler to write c programs to input files, create tables, write plsql, and automated test cases from a given file spec. One months work in a day. Two thousand lines of code In an hour. In another job I automated and instrumented everything having to to with the software development from end to end for a large defense shop which made it clear to leadership only ten percent of the staff did the work. In another I wrote code to upgrade binary report files that solved a ten thousand man hour problem in a day.
I think the Vax VMS system is still the best ever written. DEC even had a viable PC on the market but missed the PC revolution. It’s a shame as we’d likely be much further along and much more secure.
Let's also not forget there are at least a couple more supercoliders 2 of which are in our own country.
They know there is something else. How?
They are smart enough, advanced enough to scientifically a nd mathematically catolog and measure all the mass in the universe.
All there calculations so far, say that 92% of the mass in the universe is "missing". They KNOW there are other dimensions and they are trying like the devil( tongue in cheek) to open portals to these dimensions.
One scientist was quoted, "We want to open them to see what comes out, and see if we can send something through. They will succeed.
Rev. 9 read it.

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Shiva aka The Destroyer.
It is now.
This man made his dog a bed and pushes him around.
The poor puppy is old and could no longer go for a walk.
This way, the dog can still get out sniff fresh air.

Love me some good liver and onions. I was so dumb and hungry in basic, I thought it was steak once. After I started eating it, I said fuck it. Ate it several more times after that

Chapter two of the happiness quote. Was a nice quiet night
Every time someone tells me that they would not eat that or they don't like that or they're not gonna try that I just think to myself well you're not hungry enough................................ yet!

Sad truth I hope many people never truly know
Most Northern Californians feel that way. During a discuss about splitting the State, it dissolved into an argument about who would be stuck with the Bay Area.
SoCal gets the bay area.......duhMost Northern Californians feel that way. During a discuss about splitting the State, it dissolved into an argument about who would be stuck with the Bay Area.
the gesture depicted in the bottom right the most useful.

I bought a 69 Dodge Charger in 74 for 1100.00.
440 magnum automatic. Wish I still had it.
Do you think that's a bitch.
My buddies and I in the 70s were cutting up E-body Hemi Barracudas and Challengers to race in the NHRA.
The best thing is that during the gas crunch, you couldn't give them damn things away.
Our cats name is Fatass. We get those post cards from the vet addressed to him when it's time to get his shots. Don't know what the mailman thinks.
I have that same one. Close to 30 years now. Works like a champ.
I had a buddy (@armorpl8chikn can attest) who joked with me about “one day we’ll be sitting around a fire, attempting to explain electricity to the young ones, and they’ll shake their heads in disbelief”.
A time like that, a hard time, is all that could correct the cancerous thinking that has taken over the western world. Pronouns and micro-aggressions don’t hold much sway when you’re struggling every second to eek out existence.
