Painful to see teams doing great work getting pulled away on the premise that there is "even greater work" to be done in other areas. There was something magical about the old days of Bell labs where there was just a naturally occ

The "current top dog" smartest model available will probably always have a premium to go after use cases where a little more intelligence is worth a lot more value. It did far better at some tasks compared to Sol (e.g. the ARC 3 b

I'm sorry but someone has to stand up for simplicity and to stop garbage from making its way into open public standards. The bar has to be set somewhere. How many people actually use this thing? We can't go introducing characters

That is so stupid. Absolutely does not deserve a new character just for that(especially one that is so unusually large). Whoever introduced that is absolutely drunk on power. The only reason that exists is because of a power discrepancy whe

I wonder if parallel processing is related to musical training or ability. I've always been jealous of people who can play the drums and sing or play piano with both hands and a foot while singing.

Someone should come up with an index to track this objectively. Otherwise, its all anecdotes and speculation. Some random ideas: 1. Measure trends in HTTP status codes over time 2. Measure github issues created over time 3. Measure complain

"What did you find when you googled it?" "What did an LLM say about it?" "What did the docs say?" These are all better follow-ups than telling someone to do a specific thing.

Software isn't the product though. Just like the article says, it depends on if the product is an essential or a dessert. If your product is a "essential necessity" one, then 98% is terrible for your software. If your product

Good potential for discussion here. I full agree with the underlying premise: This technology CANNOT be allowed to just give us more of the same, but lazily. It HAS TO be an empowering tool. It has to unlock NEW discoveries. For the purpose
