> Useful from a business standpoint, yes. This business standpoint is the whole thing, I don’t see many people arguing otherwise. And the business standpoint is in fact quite revolutionary. Amazon can have a team of like 5 engineers main

So where should people who want to learn the discipline of software engineering go? It’s definitely what most CS majors are actually there for, and there’s no separate software engineering major at (almost) any liberal arts colleges. I get

I still don’t think there’s an alternative for After Effects. People always say DaVinci Resolve, which seems like a good replacement for Premiere Pro, but not After Effects. I’ve looked into a lot of entrants in this area but one has nearly

I’m pretty sure they’ll be fine. I can’t imagine a CRUD agency being like “VR? No transferable skills! To the breadline with you!” Realtime state management is a highly sought after skill.

As someone who just had to build integrations with all the big social media sites, this tracks. People thought I was crazy when I came back with the research that our TikTok integration would be free, and then our X integration would be $42

Honestly it’s DRY that I oppose more than anything else, I’ve watched too many codebases turn into unreadable spaghetti because engineers thought everything needed to be abstracted. With regard to Clean Code, I think Uncle Bob’s takes on fu

I do a tree-search-ish thing when interviewing people. I’ll start with a super basic question about something beginner-ish on their resume. If they can’t answer that, the interview is politely wrapped up. I’ve eliminated a surprising number

If you create a standardized test it will be gamed. Even with the small modicum of standardization around interview questions that we currently see, people have published books like Cracking The Code Interview, making it easier for people w

I think GP is referring to people like Elon Musk, who have a personal brand built around the idea that they’re “rational people who make data-driven decisions based on logic” and yet twist themselves into fascinating rhetorical shapes tryin

I don’t really care either way. I’m tired of having to debunk the same sloppy arguments year after year.

Not necessarily. The placebo effect is the kind of thing where you might have trouble at first telling if your symptoms are improving or if you’re just having a “good day” or an “easy week”, and that confusion can even last a month or two d

I will say I love this feature on my iPad (touch the screen and hold without moving, the video will be 2x until you let go) but I wish it could be turned on on a per-device basis.

I think part of the idea here is that we’re not talking about putting GPT-4o in charge of a company, we’re talking about GPT-7a (for “agent”). By the time we get to that turn of the game, we may not have as many issues with hallucinations a

I Am Not An Entertainment Lawyer either, so I can’t answer with too much certainty, but I’d suspect the actors have a clause in the contract they sign allowing the character to be played by someone else post-contract. Think about how many c

How? This kind of thing is already illegal. If I’m producing a commercial for Joe’s Hot Dogs, and I hire a voice actor who sounds like Morgan Freeman, and he never says “I’m Morgan Freeman” but he’s the main voice in the commercial and the

He could’ve, but did he? A judge will look at all this subjective stuff and make a decision, and they might not find that argument convincing given the other evidence on hand.

Nah, I think it’s pretty clear cut. Under current US trademark law (IANAL etc), if I sound like Morgan Freeman, I’m free to do what I want, as long as I don’t try to convince people that I’m Morgan Freeman. If I’m cast in a movie because my

I just got here from the “DoJ moves to legalize weed” comment section, and I have the same thing to say: I don’t care why people do a good thing, I’m uncomplicatedly happy it happened.

I don’t care at all why they do it. I don’t care if they hate that they’re doing it. If they do the things I want and don’t do the things I don’t want then, well, that’s pretty good. Also of note: Donald Trump could’ve done this to score so

To be fair, ffmpeg is highly modular, some parts of it are probably already in Rust. I feel like rewriting certain extremely high-use libraries like libx264 could be done if like, 5 really productive Rust engineers with codec experience too

What makes you think that LLMs will be better at combating spam than they are at creating it? There’s no universal rule that innovations in AI will go hand in hand with innovations in detecting AI, yet I feel like I see people talking all t
