AI will write the requirements. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI comes for high cost centers like programming and high information decision-making (the C-Suite) at roughly the same time. We could spend years in a lopsided state where

I do not share your optimism. Right now we are seeing what AI can do with one hand tied behind its back. In my experience, when Github Copilot makes mistakes they are frequently ones that it could’ve avoided if it ran static analysis on its

If this article was some sort of “Don’t worry, the AI-enhanced world is gonna be just fine!” puff piece then the author’s credentials here would take be quite discrediting. I think it takes balls to start an AI startup and then post an art

At the moment some of those competitors may have spare supply because people weren’t interested in them before. But once that runs out, I don’t see a reason they won’t all run into the same problems as the RPi Foundation as they get in line

It seems to think that we’re fictional characters, I got the following when I asked why the comment it wrote was in my style: > The comment uses a positive and supportive tone, expressing agreement with the article and praising the autho

If these removals were fine but Taibbi has other examples that are actually bad… why didn’t he just post those instead? It’s a huge stretch to say that removing revenge porn is somehow evidence of corruption. If Taibbi had real dirt he shou

I was a libertarian in college, in part because of these arguments. And the thing that put the sour taste in my mouth and made me swear it off forever was when I realized that “school choice” and “laboratories of democracy” weren’t about le

As a bonus? Maybe for Twitter, but as a user, I would not care for this at all.

I’m not gonna say that no Democrats do this (because it would be clearly untrue, see Nancy Pelosi). But I do think it’s pretty notable that this year a Democrat Senator proposed a bill to rein this in, and got 15 co-sponsors, all of whom

Agreed. In life there aren’t many times where there is one clear and correct answer, but this is one of those times.

I don’t, and here’s why: If libcamera turns out to be a bust, then we’ve burnt that name. Now the next library will have to be called something like libeyeopener, and I’ll have to spend years telling people “although libcamera sounds like t

Some of this may be a side effect of the fact that many apps built on WebRTC audio seem to opt for ultracheap audio codecs like G.722[1]. While I haven't been able to completely validate that this is the case, I have noticed that some

Have clock speeds really plateaued? Sure it’s not “double every 18 months”, but in mid 2018 I bought an Intel 8700K that turbo’d to 4.7GHz and could (with liquid metal, dark magic and luck) overclock to exactly 5GHz. I remember people sayin

I have the feeling this guy was serious. If for no other reason than that he stopped responding. I feel like if it was a joke he would’ve kept responding and dialing up the ridiculousness. He also seemed pretty authentically earnest. There

Part of the reason I think 21st century automation is different from 20th century mechanization is that when you mechanize jobs, that requires physical machines, and the number of factory workers and mechanics needed to build/maintain

Yeah, but what happens when GPT-3 starts writing better prompts than humans? People are talking like that’s not going to happen, just like a few years ago people wouldn’t have foreseen how far AI Art would come. I feel like putting bounds o

I hear this a lot, that “automation creates jobs” chestnut. Whenever people try to support this argument, they either fall into the “not thinking quantitatively” fallacy by pointing out that “sure, 25 writers got laid off, but the company u

Sure “everyday users” aren’t clicking “View Source”, but that’s not really what the issue is about. When I was a kid, every piece of software I used was pre-compiled, and therefore opaque. This made it difficult for me to figure out how peo

I think they’re referring to the fact that, within the system apps that Microsoft controls, there are multiple generations of UI design. Like, last I checked I think Device Manager still has a Windows 98-ish look (there are many others).

Yup. On my team at a previous company we just started a team Slack when the company moved to Teams. If people wanted to get in touch with us faster, they had to use Slack. If they wanted a meeting with us, we’d send them a Zoom link. It was

Yeah but you posted that comment like, 20 minutes after the post even went up, probably less than 10 minutes after it hit the front page. For a post to not have any/many comments at that point is pretty normal.

Stable Diffusion is the kind of phenomenon where people are actually contributing other backends (like the one for the M1 GPU). That’s not super common though, a lot of the time if you want to get a network running you need an Nvidia card s

I gotta say, I’ve been really cynical about this and honestly thought Ethereum would keep putting off the move to PoS forever. I’m very very happy to be wrong. I still don’t see the value in cryptocurrency as a project, but now that it’s no

Yeah but what about SSL? You’ll need a handful of more lines of nginx, plus a script that runs once a month or so to get a new LetsEncrypt cert. Supposing that script you write or copy/paste works, now you’re good. Until your site gets

IMO The biggest value add is that if the battery dies you can still get where you're going. That alone is pretty nice.
