From what I've read from people with relevant experience, the only way to get a large organization change direction is to issue imperative decrees lacking nuance, because large organization by nature tend to be process heavy and are to

With such kind of ATS systems, is it still a thing to optimize for a one page resume that is easy for a human reviewer to scan, or just include enough buzzwords and external links to try and please the LLM?

Even if they only fire the juniors and retain the seniors, they have effectively broken the pipeline that creates more seniors for the next few decades. That is either betting on AI being better than humans then, or closure of the company.

Yeah, the whole AI industry is just people ripping off each other.. Started by AI companies gulping up all the information that technical or altruistic people shared on the Internet in the past 40 years to help other fellow humans, then mov

It's likely the elected officials know nothing about AI the technology. Depends on who has their ears in terms creating policies around technology.

Is that before or after the OpenAI and Anthropic pay off all the people and companies who's copyrights were violated when they used their works for free to train their models? At least DeepSeek freely gives back the benefits.

Weird, isn't it? Microsoft owns all of LinkedIn, Github and NPM. All three either have security or stability issues, which seems to get worse, not better, as microsoft goes more into AI. Where is the AI productivity (10x by some accoun

I use vanilla emacs and compile from source straight from master at whatever commit it happens to be in when I decide to do it. Only once was there a noticeable breakage when a command like `git log` in the terminal would spit out all its o

From the article > Matz has said as much. He’s described Ruby’s design as starting from a simple Lisp, stripping out macros and s-expressions, then adding an object system, blocks, and Smalltalk-style methods. The features most Rubyists

If I remember correctly, the original GPT was considered too dangerous to release to the wild. With hindsight, does that hold? If not, then how would we know a model is truly dangerous to release?

Hypothetically if LLMs were possible in the early 90s, what would the software ecosystem look like today? Would it be 80s technology everywhere but widely deployed? Or would things have advanced further - better compilers, more ergonomic la

These became popular after Moore's law made it possible many years after C/Unix had become the standard. And they became just good enough that more people didn't go into Lisp/Smalltalk instead.

I highly respect the Ken Thompson and the rest of the old UNIX hands, but wouldn't they admit that the real world is messy and the best solutions in isolation don't always win? Their creation C and UNIX won over the more advanced

I'm curious, what would you say is DeepSeek's core competency?

I can't say what they should or should not be doing. Generally, it is conspicuous how American companies are absent when it comes to state of the art open models. Meta tried for some time but it seems they've given up.

Perhaps, the issue is that the pace at which they release open models compared to their closed ones, shows that they are more committed on the closed ones and are not interested in advancing the state of the art of open models.

It would depend on the complexity of the challenge. Knowing that a knowledgeable human took the time to verify the project/exercise gives a learner confidence that they are in the right track, not going down a path of hallucinations
