"Cloud" is not boxes like OVH and Hetzner sell. Cloud is a gigantic software layer offering all kinds of features and abstractions. I think it'd be faster and cheaper to replicate GitHub or even Office, which are complex but

We've been having really good models for a couple of years now... What else is needed for that 10% growth? Agents? New apps? Time? Deployment in enterprise and the broader economy? I work in the latter (I'm the CTO of a small busi

There's always one in the comments. Even way before AIs, with any discussion on low code, hiring tech turns, etc. What did programmers do to you to trigger such deep-felt insecurities thusly?
274.
by aerhardt 2y ago
I don't always programming in the small, and still feel that AIs provide plenty of chance for architecture, design, refactoring. For me it's been an absolute boon, I'm enjoying build more than ever. At any rate it's unde

That sounds like Ancient Greek democracy except the gap was much larger than 51-49.

I like AI, and I use it every day. I'm not a software dev, but I do write software professionally, and I also use AI for designing and architecting solutions. I feel the technology is eminently useful, and it's made me maybe 20-30

The other day o1 hallucinated on a question of some Salesforce object properties that are clearly laid out in the docs. It took me a while to disentangle it because it was very persuasive. I concur with you though, I still find the tech tre

The difference is if I ask a 5 year old to re-draw the drawing in orange, they will understand exactly what I mean.

I'm also using it lol. But I'm at about 70% of Foundations III and 15% of Stats and Probability and the amount of formulas is starting to be overwhelming.

Unfathomable to me that they'd make themselves look so foolish by trying to ban a piece of software.

Great science fiction is grounded in conflict, as is human nature. There is a whole subtext of conflict in this, and other threads about AI: a future of machine oligarchs, of haves and have-nots. Great science fiction, like any great litera

There is an implication here that you're letting AI commit to your codebase without reviewing it first. Or that humans are committing AI generated code but without reviewing it first. Is that the case? Because if it is, the answer seem

His experience mirrors mine. I'm happy he explicitly mentions search, when people have been shouting "this is not meant for search" for a couple years now. Of course it helps with search. I also love the tech for producing fi

People surely love Anthropic around these parts and on Reddit, but as a paying customer of both Claude and ChatGPT, I'll take the latter any time of day. I trust o1 much more than Sonnet, and I really like the ChatGPT native Mac client

The rate of improvement in the models is nothing short of phenomenal, but the applications are meh at best, even after a few years of billions of dollars and endless hours poured by the world's best product and engineering minds. Every

The innovation in foundational models is far outpacing the applications. Other than protein folding (which is not only LLMs AFAIK) I haven't seen a single application that blows my mind. And I use o1 and Claude pretty much every day fo

That phrasing still sucks, I am neither a native speaker nor a wordsmith but I've worked with professional English writers who could make that look and sound infinitely better.

The Rails dev says that Rails defaults are very good and so says the Django dev about the Django defaults. The Django ORM is loved by tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of Python devs globally, and while I could raise concerns about it (for

The main methodological problem is how one can leave out like 40% of the United States, and say that the US comes on top (which it still doesn't!). Like, I'm not even questioning the racial split data, but selecting the two groups

I think I've found the answer and it's simpler than that. There is no analysis splitting whites or other ethnic groups because PISA has national variations of questionnaires (source on the US one below), and in all likelihood no o

I am talking about the leading group, whatever that may be, why would you split only the United States by a certain dimension and compare it to the entirety of other populations?

The source he cites is himself, other than the PISA data. I cannot examine the entire dataset right now, but from reading the questionnaires I cannot find a single question on race. The only resembling question is on the birthplace of the p
