Losing potentially good talent because they don't know how or where to look for mistakes yet is foolhardy. I'm happy for them to throw in the towel if the field is truly not for them, but I would wager that a not-insignificant por

The use of a LLM in this case is to show them where the problem is so that they can continue on. They can't develop an understanding of the algorithm they're studying if they can't get their program to compile at all.

I suspect they're referring to the Infowars kind of supplements, not vitamin supplements.

I don't think we need to pretend Python package management is good to contrast C++, they're both awful for different reasons. At least there's maybe a way out for Python (uv / the various PIPs); C++ doesn't appear t

I'd suggest you level up your reading comprehension before suggesting the parent poster was in any way offended or in need of therapy.

The area of Rust code that is unsafe is much, much smaller than the amount in equivalent C code, making it much more tractable to audit. I won't pretend that it's perfect, but it's not remotely comparable to C.

Can you back up that claim? In my experience, the vast majority of Rust is safe, or built on communally-audited safe abstractions over unsafe code.

You are tilting at windmills. The article exhibits the kind of English I'd expect from someone sharing a technical development in an acceptably-perfunctory style for a company blog.

Aren't you editorialising by doing so?

It's good enough for personal use, but absolutely not good enough for professional use, especially in low-light scenarios. Source: own an AVP and an iPhone 15 Pro

I was under the same impression, but the parent poster is right: the main difference between L4 and L5 is universal applicability. Waymo is L4 as it can drive without a driver, but only in certain areas.

The latest iPhones can already do stereoscopic image and video capture for viewing in the Vision Pro. It works pretty well.

Why? I can say that, in my personal experience, AI has allowed me to work more efficiently as a senior engineer: I can describe the behaviour I want, scan over the generated code and make any necessary fixes much faster than either writing

On one hand, I somewhat agree; on the other hand, I think LLMs and similar tooling will allow juniors to punch far beyond their weight and learn and do things that they would have never have dreamed of before. As mentioned in another commen

The argument is that, instead of hiring a junior engineer, a senior engineer can simply produce enough output to match what the junior would have produced and then some. Of course, that means you won't be able to train them up, at leas

Think about the sheer amount of data that you receive through your five senses over 570,000,000 seconds/18 years. It's a lot, lot more than 5TB.

Echoes , which is on Meddle, is one of my favourite tracks of all time. It's an incredible sonic journey through all kinds of territory, and I find myself rejuvenated after having listened to it.

I disagree with the parent poster (as I've replied elsewhere) but this is a boring and facile response. Do better.

This is your experience, but I'm not sure you can generalise it to most people's experience. I like cars - admire them, even - but my car was first and foremost a tool, and my relationship with it was as such. I did the work requi
