I wonder how well that scales and how it handles network partitions or erratic peers.

So, LLMs can’t do basic arithmetic very well at all but people use them to analyze financial statements?

I have a strange problem: I have always written in a manner that now leads people to think I am a LLM. It has been so bad, I even considered injecting misspelling and incorrect grammar and bad punctuation into my prose to prove my words are

More tech won’t solve it. Areas, either physical or logical, with no or low tech might help.

At some point, scalability is the best form of exploitation. The exploration piece requires a lot more that engineering.

Pretty responsible progress management by OpenAI. Kicking off another training wave is easy, if you can afford the electricity, but without new, non-AI tainted datasets or new methods, what’s the point? So, in the meantime, make magic with

The test question used to conclude ChatGPT fails at logic is “What is the first name of the father of Sebastian’s children?” WTF

Maybe so for Windows NT, but Linux 1.0 was released in 94. It feels strange because I was on the mailing list when Linus announced his project, and I had just gotten out of college when 1.0 became official. And yes as well on anything serio

Retire all the things. What makes this industry so…cyberpunk, is that nothing entirely goes away. Linux is probably the last time something was really built from scratch. Most commercial software in use today is dependent on code written in

That's cute, but I am more concerned about losing my phone, which contains so many MFA means. If that happens, I'm not sure I will be able to prove I exist and that I am who I am. And even if you don't lose your phone, you sh

You can stick with something for the wrong reasons just as well as you can shun something for the wrong reasons. Is Java hard to use? I don't think so. Is PHP messy? Before the restructuring that happened from PHP 7, not so much. In fa

There is no substitute for discipline. The unskilled always blame their tools. That is all.

How long did it take anyone to realize this nightmare? Since we are on the path to major discoveries, let's talk about runtime, runtime-dependencies and all that. Every Ruby app ever created is stuck somewhere on the time axis, before

I think the point is: Either you do it because you love it or you do it because it pays well. What must be noted is that there are other jobs that pay just as well, and do not entail as much complexity and pain. Just ask all the hustlers wh

Bring on the exodus. Based on the Dharma Initiative, let's have The Coda Initiative: Let's build a new Silicon Valley where there is plenty of space to grow and where startups will flourish.

These don't indicate overbuilding. It just means you are off the cliff as soon as your cash flow turns negative. Buying a house in this area is like condemning yourself to walk around with a huge sword hanging above your head.

Renting has also become unbearable, unless you are ready to shack up with roommates to bear the $3-4K monthly rent.

I feel like saying this: Ideas are a dime a dozen. It's execution that matters. But, I feel this would be harsh, even though it's true. So, instead, I'll ask you this: Who is going to pay for the product or service your idea will lead to?

Originally, I disliked C++ because it was poorly supported across platforms. You had this level of standard support on one platform, but only that level of standard support on that other platform. From STL to every other useful library. It

When one becomes obsessed with the tool of the trade, one loses sight of the greater end. If the ultimate goal is not worthwhile, it does not matter whether you code it Ruby or Scala. It's busy work and a waste of human energy.

I can appreciate "respect". Just don't fire the poor SOB when the service goes down because the people he works with ignored his warnings.

Any email address to share?

"Neutered SRE", then. ;) Or, "Reliability Ombudsman".

That's the best hiring process I have heard of. Good job.

As a QA professional, if you don't perceive yourself as being an integral part of the software development process, you are missing the point of your function. The entire software development process involves professionals who currently hav

You got it right entirely. And to make it plain for everyone to understand the insanity of it: A year in Elementary school is pretty much free in a Public School. It easily costs you $20K in a Private School. That's for one kid. Tack that o
