Sure, but Google is a very unique environment and the advice is unlikely to work at the majority of employers.

I get the sense that Lalit wants to do the work and get paid while avoiding the career meta game. The appeal of that is understandable, but having been in this situation in the past, it's not all its cracked up to be. The number of tec

I'm surprised at how many years the plane went without having that part inspected. It looks like the failure was due to fatigue cracks, but the last time the part was inspected was in 2001?

Coming from a small company like iD, it must have been quite the shock.

I put a framed picture of the leadership principles on my desk for much the same reason, with a similar reaction. As corporate principles in general go, they were decent, but frequently they were used to excuse poor behavior, so... Yeah.

Another way of looking at it would be adding some personality to the corporate drone existence.

What's the issue with drug discovery? AI/ML assisted drug discovery is one of the better examples of successful AI utilization out there.

Very nice work. Might not hurt to throw in a few more pictures that illustrate the steps in the build process.

It's getting harder and harder to distinguish between AIs and humans! If AI wasn't mentioned, I'd be here thinking it was caused by one of my former coworkers.

"When the measure becomes the target, it ceases to be a good measure." Something something something. Forwards looking earnings guidance is also a pet peeve of mine - I've had plenty of stocks take a significant decline becau

I think the majority of coders out there write the same CRUD app over and over again in different flavors. That's what the majority of businesses seem to pay for. If a business needs the equivalent of a Toyota Corolla, why be upset abo

34 million developers? That number doesn't even pass a basic sniff test. Are there 34 million people that have Xcode installed? That I can believe.

This is hilarious, I love it. And the advice looks pretty decent at first glance too.

There's truth to that, but the vast majority of people can figure out that a movie is bad, no matter what they had for dinner or what's going on in their lives. We're not looking for the Platonic form of the movie review, but

Yeah, the whole AI thing has very unpleasant similarities to the dot com bubble that burst to the massive detriment of the careers of the people that were working back then.

> I don’t understand why there’s this focus on juniors as the people who know AI best. Because junior engineers have no problem with wholeheartedly embracing AI - they don't have enough experience to know what doesn't work yet.

It's already exploding. The hype train is going to keep on moving for a while yet though.

There's what AWS leadership says and then there's what actually sticks. There's an endless series of one pagers with this idea or that idea, but from what I witnessed first hand, the ones that stuck were the ones that made mo

I always thought of plotters as legacy tech, but considering the variety of marking tools you can attach to the head, I'm wondering if I should get one. Does anyone know of an inexpensive plotter you can buy or build?

Businesses are overly optimistic about AI replacing people. For very simple jobs, like working in a call center? Sure. But the vast majority of all jobs aren't ones that AI can replace. Anything that requires any amount of context sens

In general, licensure is a great tool to hold the pool of practitioners to a high standard, few if any areas being more important than medicine. But if someone has saved 6,500 children from dying, it doesn't make any sense to get hung

by LinuxAmbulance 1y ago
A better question to ask is "What jobs can AI replace without a drop in the quality of the user experience?" Generating clip art is definitely one of them. Any others?

Ah, the optimism of 1997. The article is super focused on the hardware side of things, and to a point, that makes sense. Your hardware has to be able to handle what you're simulating. But it's not the hardware that's the diff

The fact that for profit medicine is holding up some of the most advanced medical treatments in history is really disturbing. As a society, there will be a significant benefit, especially once it's cost optimized. But we'll never

Don't feel down on yourself in the least. Two to three years is a good run in the tech industry. If I'm not learning new things that will get me the next better job that's a rung up the ladder, there's no point in stayin

Except if you want to do level design for existing AAA FPS games other than Counter-Strike, the days where user maps and modding were allowed have come and gone long ago. There's nothing out there like there was for Counter-Strike 1.6.

AGI might not be achievable in our lifetime, and possibly not in the next several. There's nothing out there at the moment that can even begin to describe the necessary things for consciousness to exist, let alone self-awareness. I don

I'm just confused by the number of people on this site that are adamant that their phones cannot possibly be listening in on them 24/7 and sending data back to Apple or Google on what they overhear. "We'd notice the band
