From the article, DynamoDB-likes are good IF: * You know exactly what your app needs to do, up-front But isn't this true of any database? Generally, adding a new index to a 50 million row table is a pain in most RDBs. As is adding a co

From the first graph... Isn't this also the effect of software development no longer being depreciable? (If I recall, that was about the end of 2021 or so?)

In my experience, most coding work is on established code bases. There's that well thought out senior engineer phase at the start of each project, but the vast majority of future work starts with grokking the existing code base. I don&

IANAL, but, my understanding is that if a court rules that the Fifth Amendment does not protect against providing a password (if they already know what's there from other sources, etc.), the individual may be compelled to comply with t

I'm not a climate doom-ologist, but this could be from humans burning fossil fuels, or it could be that we are still coming out of the last ice age. Since we can't control the latter, it only seems prudent to do something about th

This matches my mental model so far... the more experience, listening and communication required to perform a task, the more suited AI is to apply. However, the more specificity required (math, programming, engineering in general) the more

My guess is that, by the end of this year, we will see this pattern over-and-over. The economics are just too compelling, especially in the attention-driven business like News.

Apologies if this is actually a human-written post - I understand not everyone's first language is English. But, is this a markov chain generated response? It has a glimmer of actual content, but the wording / point / theme i

No idea if this any good... Every 3 seconds of video spawns a 10 second video advertisement. I gave up.

Very nice write-up on the various techniques and styles of generative art. I like the artificial life simulator. I did something similar here https://www.shadertoy.com/view/MftSRf

The article goes out of its way to characterize such ancient sites through the lens of our current culture. This kind of archeo-sociology is nothing more than a massive guess as to what was actually going on. There are simply too many possi

And burn down their own homes as well?

Mass burning of homes, on a recurring 60 to 80 year cycle, then to rebuild the same structures, seems odd. Not mentioning it in the posted article seems like an substantial omission.

Concerning when an article like this makes assertions but doesn't mention key social concerns associated with the culture such as the periodic burning down of the houses. [1] Given the "social strata" ideas presented in the a

I'm worried -- and perhaps over-reacting here. To me, this leads to a question: "Why should a company go public at all?" The growing number and net worth of so many equity firms, as well as very, very wealthy individuals, see

Nick Beato (bee'-ah-tow) is great. He has some awesome interviews with old-school rockers. Really fun. And he certainly has an engaging way of teaching music theory. I'm no pro musician, as he is, though I do dabble. I can detect

That's all a little beyond me at this point. But very compelling! As the original simulation shows, the idea is to calculate the difference and proximity of the pixels. So the drawing part is just a projection... The ease of getting a

Interesting. While I've played with ShaderToy a bit, I've not gotten such a thing to run locally. Maybe I should revisit this.. I guess all that I'd need would be in-memory buffer of my field, then a single function to copy t

This is pretty neat... Having an interest in the space for many years (on-and-off; life gets busy sometimes) - I've often lamented the lack of good pixel-level performance optimizations in graphics cards. Everything seems hell-bent on

No, no, no! Tell me something useful about the code, or why it is there in the first place... Tell me where it's called from, how often it's called, if the caller can ever send null args, expected execution time, who wrote it, and

(Sorry for posting this here - I'm just overwhelmed and don't know how to digest this). This stuff makes me queasy. The destruction to come from this kind of stuff is just blood curdling.
