Date: May 7th, 2024 12:19 PM Author: Heady Azure Mediation Temple Somewhat integral. Drilling a well is very expensive. So you want to make sure that there is enough oil or gas there before you drill. This is done using technology. If you are curious look up Landmark Graphics (now owned by Halliburton). They have many softwares that map the land and reservoirs which tells engineer the optimum place to drill.
Once the drill bit hits the ground, you want to get as much data as possible - gas pressure, water content, soil density, etc. They stick sensors on the drill bit which send back all kinds of data. That data needs to be stored, analyzed, and acted upon. This is done using software.
Lots of coders needed to make this happen. America's shale oil boom is basically a technology marvel more than anything else. |

Date: May 8th, 2024 6:25 AM Author: contagious theater The real hurdle is getting LLMs to the point where they can translate specifications & user feedback into a full product. Right now, they're getting pretty good at turning ideas into technical specifications, but that's the tip of the iceberg.
The lowest-hanging, highest-yielding fruit right now, believe it or not, is legal reasoning. At its core, this pretty much comes down to issue spotting, identifying the applicable laws (statutes, rules, case law, etc.), applying the laws to the facts, and arriving at some legal conclusion. This applies to transactional law and, albeit to a lesser extent, litigation (which has a performative component that transactional law lacks). |

I haven’t been on a call where I don’t already know what the answer is going to be in years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5526000&forum_id=2#47644522) |
