The answer to this is: countries with the most natural resources will build robots to farm all their food, mine all their minerals, and build all their products. It will be up to governments to enforce that outputs are equitably distributed

Law is so ripe for replacement by AI. It is entirely based on established written arguments with gray areas, edge cases, linguistic subtleties, etc., being the crux upon which many controversial decisions are drawn. That is, law arguments a

I shipped my iOS app without opening Xcode (well, I had to open it to get some provisioning stuff to work). I still use Visual Studio Code to kick off the simulator, but other than that, I use no IDE at all. Claude writes all the code in Fl

I don't think anyone has mentioned the obvious middle ground: PO Boxes at USPS post offices. Nearly every town and city in the USA has a post office. Instead of driving packages to individual's homes or having businesses deliver t

The last take-home test I did was for EE364a: Convex Optimization. It was a 24 hour test, and I had a cold. I booked a hotel room as my apartment didn't have air conditioning. It was brutal. I got most of the programming questions corr

Hard is relative. The Apple IIe could do roughly a half-million instructions per second. Yet, application develop was long and tedious. Layers upon layers of abstraction requires more powerful CPUs, but translated into highly complex applic

How can someone so successful be so naïve? The statement, "impossible to earn a billion dollars," is not meant to be taken literally. It is used to underscore the fact that founders (and early investors) are paid ridiculously disp

Devil's advocate: My wife thankfully just got her green card three months ago. She first came on a J-1 and then an F-1. She knows many, many people who come with the intent of staying either without status or via questionable marriag

I'm going to offer a counterpoint suggestion. You need to watch Claude try to implement small features many times without planning to see where it is likely to fail. It will often do the same mistakes over and over (e.g. trying to SSH

Claude set up my whole backend on AWS. That includes a load balancer, web server, email server, three application servers, and a bastion server to connect to their VPN. It configured everything by writing an AWS Terraform file. Stored all s

The combination of Flutter + Claude Code makes cross-platform app development really, really fast. I've been impressed with how well Clause handles prompts like, "This list should expand on the web, but not on iOS." I then as

It seems AI is putting senior developers into two camps. Both groups relate to the statement, "I started programming when I was seven because a machine did exactly what I told it to, felt like something I could explore and ultimately k

That is the problem with software developers with expertise in software, but no deep domain knowledge outside the CS world.

I don't know enough about lighting, but if I bought five of these, would I reach 50,000 lumens? Is it just additive? This would cost $250. https://www.harborfreight.com/10000-lumen-4-ft-linkable-diam... Also, if you&#x

There are many stories on r/ClaudeCode of developers realizing the power of that particular model. Think of all the solo developer webapp/mobile "hot" startups (FB, Craigslist, Instagram, SnapChat, Pinterest, etc.). It i

When your most potent competitor companies (FB, MSFT, Apple) and investments (OpenAI) were all founded by college drop-outs, it does make you wonder whether college itself was holding these individuals back. I'm sure they are exception

AI is making us face the reality of non-physical goods and services. If a product exists solely as data (writing, music, code, drawings, movies, etc.) then the value is in the idea and its distribution, and less on its production. I'll

As an interventional radiologist, I want it to be easier to see images from outside hospitals. Epic has nearly solved the problem of seeing outside medical records. Yet, I still can't see the images for the CT scan you had from the hos

Auto Hotkey doesn't work well for Epic manipulation because Epic runs inside of a Citrix Virtual Machine. You can't just read Window information and navigate that way. You'd have to have some sort of on-screen OCR to detect w

Well, it isn't every user. We use a version of Epic called Epic Radiant. It's designed for radiologists. The tab that always opens is the radiologist worklist. The thing is, we don't use that worklist for procedures (I'm

I think MSFT really needs some validated user stories. How many users want to, "Improve my writing," "Create an image," "Understand what is changed" (e.g. recent edits), or "Visualize my data."? Those

Your belief is held by many, many radiologists. One thing I like to highlight is that LLMs and LVMs are much more advanced than any model in the past. In particular, they do not require specific training data to contain a diagnosis. They

Well I do enjoy procedures. As for diagnostics, it’s very different when you come from a CS background. On a basic level, software exists to expedite repetitive human tasks. Diagnostic radiology is an extremely repetitive human task. When I

I'm an interventional radiologist with a master's in computer science. People outside radiology don't get why AI hasn't taken over. Can AI read diagnostic images better than a radiologist? Almost certainly the answer is
