Practically speaking, it's going to be both more impactful than we think and less impactful than we think at the same time. On the one hand, there are a lot of fields that this form of AI can and will either replace or significantly re

Hmm, I'm not sure the former holds true anymore. We're seeing societies getting far more polarised with some extreme rhetoric and and proposals coming from political parties, especially in places like the US and Western Europe. Ki

Seeing Musk buy Twitter and start promoting right wing speech rather than left wing speech was quite the shock to these people. Suddenly the realisation dawned that corporate censorship could be used against those you agreed with, and in fa

Fortunately, a video does need to have a vertical screen resolution to be counted as a short. So landscape/widescreen videos don't seem to be affected there. But this can definitely trip people up, especially now the maximum lengt

Feels like you could write the same article about theme parks nowadays too. Okay, there are still a fair few physical attractions there, but the likes of Universal Studios were infamous for having 'rollercoaster' like rides which

I don't think it can be emphasised enough how big of a deal the ease of deploying applications written in these languages is. The fact you can just upload the files with FTP, SSH, by pulling them from version control, etc makes learnin

This is probably a huge factor for sure. Both the UK theory and practical tests are somewhat tricky, at least compared to those in places like the US. Many people will fail them the first time around, and a fair few will fail them multiple

I'm still not a fan of how 'web3' has become a buzzword for crypto. The name seems like it should describe a much more interesting and general concept, not just "it's a service, except you can make money/sell N

I have to admit, I've always wondered what would happen if say, the old Twitter staff had just completely wiped the servers before they left. Would they even try to bring the site back, or just write off the whole company? But seriousl

Becoming? It's been that ever since social media was invented, if not before. Entire YouTube channels exist that do nothing but report on random internet drama and whoever the 'main character' is today. Of course, you could s

Depends what you mean by learning Git. To use it on a basic level, a few hours maybe. But I'm very, very far from an expert here, and know maybe 1% of the commands possible there.

Okay, gonna be honest, the main issue your game has is that it seems too generic/boring. The visuals aren't bad per se, but they feel like they come straight from some premade UI framework, like a slightly fancier equivalent to pr

Yeah I believe there's other life in the universe, and that some of it is probably sentient. Whether it's visited Earth on the other hand... that's a lot less likely. Feels like the distances you need to travel for that kind

Given that our company prohibits the use of AI tools for programming purposes, things aren't any different to before. We've just found no reason to use said systems given the inconsistent quality of the output.

Honestly, I'd say the best setup would be something like: 1. Live coding/code review/take home test 2. Technical discussion about said test/project (and the company's tech as a whole) 3. General team discussion&#x2F

I wonder if it'd be possible to fix a lot of these issues by having a constitution with damn near impossibly strict standards for changing it that rely on the entire population agreeing (or close to it)? So there might be a right to pr

Yeah this really annoys me, because it appears to show that any pretense that the law applies to everyone equally is disappearing fast.* If it at least affected politicians you could write it off as "idiotic idea that wasn't thoug

Cancel culture always scared me, and this blog post sums up exactly why. It seems like pretty much everyone is willing to turn on a 'social pariah' at the drop of a hat, and just about every aspect of your existence gets annihilat

As someone who's also posted quite a bit on sites like YouTube over the years, I wouldn't say the amount of negative comments have been that overwhelming. They certainly exist, but they've always been a minority of the commen

Nah not really. My opinion is that it's better for the user if the code is open sourced, and the availability of LLMs doesn't override that. Why punish the people using the software because AI exists?

Feels like a good case for an antitrust complaint if you ask me.

It's also worth noting that poor quality internet connections can be depressingly common in countries other than the US too. For example, here in the UK, there are a surprising number of areas with no fibre internet available even in l

Well, the internet in general has a very strong anti-AI sentiment to be honest. If you even say anything positive about it on most social media sites (Twitter, Reddit, BlueSky, Mastodon, Threads, Instagram, etc) a large percentage of the au

This feels alarming to me. Yes, I can see how it could help deradicalise people, but it's also the perfect type of tool for an authoritarian government or other type of authority that disagrees with the public sentiment on a subject. I

They can be useful, though you have to use them carefully. For instance, one of the best ways I've found to learn a new language or framework or technique is to find a working example of something, then take it apart piece by piece to
