> ChatGPT has 1 billion MAU. People are now getting life advice, financial advice, and mental health help from chatbots at a scale and cost that no human support network could match. That's terrifying. You realize that's terrif

I dunno, the rest of the article feels very AI-written as well. Immediately after that, it goes into an overly in-depth bullet-pointed breakdown, it repeats information constantly... It’s either written by an AI or I’m sorry, it’s just poor

I know it's "Evil AL", not "Evil AI", but there _is_ an "Evil AI" at work here - this is aislop, pure and simple. I wondered for a bit why the whole thing felt repetitive and boring, and then I hit this p

noscript came before modern CSS, it came before XMLHttpRequest, it was around before a lot of things. It was before we had modern standards and practices around progressive enhancement. A lot of things that are commonplace and easy to do

I think you're missing the part where they quote the recommendation from the HTML spec: > For this reason, it's generally better to avoid using noscript, and to instead design the script to change the page from being a scriptl

Oh my god, yet _another_ "developer-focused" laptop with full-sized left/right arrow keys, which are an absolutely miserable experience to actually use. How is it that Apple is the only company these days( ) that consistently

We've been here before. Outsourcing of coding was really big for a while, until the reality of that situation caught up with those who practiced it - if you were saving a bundle on outsourcing your coding work, you were only saving mo

It's really thrown off some old adages. It's now "the first 90% takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90,000,000% of the time." Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

This is why I've been pushing back on the "just have the AI generate the tests!" mentality. Sure, let it help you, but those tests are the guarantee of quality and fit for purpose. If you vibe code them, how the hell do you k

I managed to avoid learning React long enough to become a manager. I'm not saying I won't ever end up in engineering and won't ever have to learn it, but at least right now, it feels kinda like I got away with something.

I was wondering why that wasn't mentioned once! The first realtor to walk the land would have noticed that sign in a hurry, I figure.

...this is actually a really interesting thought. The act of writing in lowercase is not, in itself, funnier. But writing in the training set that is in all lowercase is _probably_ going to be the funnier writing. Considering modern pundit

Xyz makes sense because that is what those axes are literally labeled, but ijk I will rail against until I die. There's no context in those names to help you understand them, you have to look at the code surrounding it. And even the mo

If you're logging and reporting on ERRORs for 400s, then your error triage log is going to be full of things like a user entering a password with insufficient complexity or trying to sign up with an email address that already exists in

From both the developer and manager side of things, I've found that the most important attribute of estimates is frequently the least paid attention to: that they be kept up to date. When you discover more work hidden under that "

Multiblocks power fail and void, but then your machine shuts down until you restart it. This is much better than suggested above, where you'd void over and over, but it can still utterly mess up a large craft being orchestrated thru AE

There are more situations than just "a 55mph head-on crash" that need to be considered. What about getting clipped at 5mph when the driver is turning, and on a Cybertruck you've now got a brutal gash dug into you. And a camer

Absolutely this. I was so excited for a second that they were re-branding and re-launching the mini. My 13 is getting long in the teeth, and won't be supported for OS updates in a few more years. Instead it's an ugly, phone-only

Again, you're going wildly off the rails in your logic. Sure, "executable by a human" is part of the definition for Turing machines, but that's only talking about Turing-specific capabilities. If you want to argue that a

Indeed, this could be AI's fusion energy era, or AI's VR era, or even AI's FTL travel era.

You can build this today exactly as efficiently as you can when inference is 1000x faster, because the only things you can build with this is things that absolutely don't matter. The first bored high schooler who realizes that there&#x

That which is presented without evidence can be discarded without evidence. Thus, no we don't.

That sucks if that's your experience, but it's not the universal, or even the common, experience. For reference, I get a sore-ish shoulder the next day, and that's it. Also for reference, when I got Actual Covid, I was knocke

This is incorrect for a lot of reasons, many of which have already been explored, but also: > with every new iteration of the AI, the internal code will get better This is a claim that requires proof; it cannot just be asserted as fact.

I forget where I read it originally, but I strongly feel that AWS should offer a `us-chaos-1` region, where every 3-4 days, one or two services blow up. Host your staging stack there and you build real resiliency over time. (The counter jok

It may be a bad metric, if you're being proscriptive, but it's a great heuristic. If I see a 500-line function where I'm not expecting one, I'm going to pay a lot more attention to it in the PR to try to figure out just
