The thing is, AI is a productivity boost but staff drive all the productivity. The catch 22 is AI is expensive so in order to provide it to everyone they need to reduce staffing. The result is remaining folks are able to produce more but th

For my team to re-work fragile, complex parts of the system we need to push back at product from shipping "features." Product does not see reliability as a feature they can advertise -- it's expected. And frankly I can't

$2k or $40k? One of those is not "self host."

Your TB stories made me recall my (fond) TB stories. I came from a country that requires tuberculosis vaccines as a school-entry requirement. I have the vaccine and antibodies. Then moved to a country that didn't have this requirement

Great concept but I did not have a ton of fun playing after the novelty wore off after a few minutes. It would've been more fun if time stood still and I had the opportunity to plan what I do at each cpu cycle. I was looking forward to

Good point. I've (even with agents) never made more than like 5 PRs in one day internal to a company and if I have they typically included accompanying proto or submodule changes. Heck give a factor of safety of 2x and cap at 10 daily

I get a lot of nostalgia and initial interest in these types of phones. But I always talk myself out of it because, with self control, my current phone is just as good plus it's one I already have. Perhaps when my current phone loses s

lmao excellent reference! While this is poking fun at the block chain hype a bit, a shocking amount of (good) software engs don't know good security practices. I'd be interested to hear arguments for and against being licensed to

Given how many critical systems software touches these days, I am surprised that there they are not licensed. Imagine if civil engineers can just go building shit as minimum viable products? Sure prototype quickly but someone should be fou

Do you have any resources on hardware necessary for running models and tweaks? I see you mention 2x 3090 and I wanted to do more search on what hardware is satisfactory for what models.

I am in no way supportive of monopolies though taking "the need to compete" out of the equation and having steady flow of money that won't be cut off if "someone beats you to market" was pretty revolutionary. Consid

I mean, I get it. I have a family, financial obligations, etc. Certainly not shaming anyone for fulfilling those obligations working for a successful company. But don't put yourself up on a pedestal and cloak yourself in righteousness

I want to see more of "I'm rejecting this offer to work for Google bc my moral compass" not from folks who are paid out and ready for the next thing already.

I've worked roles where our priorities shift with the wind. Many times it is for good reason, like a strategic customer to get a foothold in a market. Other times it is just because management hyped up some effort. All's this to

Idk man creativity is something pretty human. insufferable people are very fine if, for example, music & art is outsourced to AI so they can make a some $$. But those things are meant to be enjoyed, not consumed.

This feels like a troll comment, but I'll bite. Mathematics requires substantial creativity at every level. There is problem selection, conjecture formation, proof strategies, definitions, models, and explanations. Yes, it's const

Sorry did you read the article or just the headline? The theme is mathematics is a human-endevor and automation undermines that, particularly the ones starting out. It risks killing the culture entirely. Some other key points: - AI-generate
