Whatever directly and naterially affects affects cost and that's it. For some of my services on DigitalOcean for instance, I monitor RAM because using a smaller instance can dramatically save money. But for the most part I don't m

Either this whole comment is from a GPT or the author is a major contributor to the GPT training dataset. Anyway, LLMs are nothing more than very expansive error reduction algorithms. They don't reason. They store and manipulate meanin

There are life experiences that are impossible for kids in the city ever have and are more valuable than any sport, dance, or academic activity. I still cherish sports, music, and dance, but the difference in childhood environment is immed

HTML/Javascript need a lot of work to make it usable again, so I love seeing attempts at fixing pain points like this. That said, even after reading the Why HMPL section, I don't see why I would use this? I mean, the examples look

A majority of humans alive 500 years ago would have murdered you on the spot as a demon if they saw you use cars, planes, microwaves, etc modern technology. You'll come around to generated content as you get more accustomed to it. It i

I do totally agree on the SAFe bits. I've seen it implemented extremely well when 1) everyone got regular training (biannually or quarterly) and 2) senior leaders adopted their appropriate SAFe roles. Quite often i see organizations do

I don't understand people like this author. I guess I do. It's all marketing flamebait to get attention. He knows exactly what story points are, he goes through them exhaustive, but strangely deriding them the whole time. Then he

While i agree with all the potential downsides you mentioned, i still lean heavily on the side of short summaries being extremely helpful. This was an interesting title, but having seen the summary and discussion, im not particularñy keen t

Yes, having just gone through this i was surprised to find that cancer of almost all kinds is rapidly becoming more manageable. Prognosis is quite good for most people and most cancers when caught early enough. It is still an artform though

Very cool! I literally brainstormed this yesterday, so very cool to see somebody has actually created it the very next day! I was also thinking about doing RAG with it.

I'm always telling my developers to stop talking to the customer about technical details. Do you think carpenters talk to their customers about types of nails and dimensional lumber? Or they talk curves, size, and color?

It's a classic problem - there are some people who know exactly what they are talking about and you should trust them, and there are some people who just sound like they know what they're talking about and you should absolutely NO

It is, but the users don't care. They want a spreadsheet with updated data from Salesforce combined with info from Servicenow and some stock tickers. Local, web, punchcards, the user does not care. Today there's a mess of Google S

It's not profitable and we should stop saying that. The issue is that there's just not enough quality out there so companies accept less quality and have to start managing for it. If they could hire fewer people who crank awesome

I'm sure the mainframe itself is ironclad. It's the programs that crashed all the time, the fact they couldn't scale the load to match growth in time, they couldnt get developers to make updates at the volume required. As a p

iRobot seems to have lost their way. They've been overtaken by competitors and haven't innovated in at least a decade. Their lack of profit is their own fault.

I've worked in a financial company running on mainframes. They were the least reliable part of the whole organization. The only reason they're still around is they've become hostages of the mainframe. My experience is that no
