An epic opportunity is an epic opportunity. If most investors are too stupid to notice one (yes, that is often true, I know), then that's also an epic opportunity for the 1 investor who might take the chance. I'm not saying the in

How many millions of people think the world is literally 6000 years old because of that book? Does that make it believable to you?

Sure, and they didn't speak English either, but I don't see how that's relevant.

The problem is that 90% of people will not do that once they've satisfied their confirmation bias. Hard to say if that's going to be better or worse than the current echo chamber effects of the Internet. I'm still holding out

It's like 3 lengthy paragraphs that don't even get to the point until the end. The writing wasn't particularly good in the first place, so I just closed the tab when I saw that.

But is that the apocalypse? I hate the fact that we're destabilizing the environment, but humans (and wildlife) are pretty good at adaptation. Our ancestors have obviously survived massive extinction events in the past.

Agree. You can always claim prescience by being vague enough. "Something really bad will happen" will eventually come true. I suppose the point of this site is to call out the ones who dare to be more specific.

The homeless man currently yelling outside my window is an equally authoritative source of information about the apocalypse as the Bible, and he thinks it's coming soon.

A poor quality product can only be profitable if no high quality alternative exists (at a similar price point). Every time that's the case, it's an epic opportunity for anybody with the wherewithal to raise some funding and build

I agree that LLMs are great for a cursory review, but crucially, when you ask copilot to review your code, you actually read and think about everything copilot tells you in the response. The biggest issues arise because people will blindl

Ya, there's not much you can do when leadership is so terrible. If this kind of workflow is genuinely blessed by management, I would just start using Claude for code reviews too. Then when things break and people want to point fingers

If leadership is that inept, then this is likely only 1 of many problems they are creating for the organization. I would be looking for alternative employment ASAP.

People have long talked about how reading code is far more important than writing code when working as a professional SWE. LLMs have only increased the relative importance of code review. If you're not doing a detailed code review of e

Clearly, you have JavaScript enabled by default in your browser, so I'm wondering if you yourself are a programmer?

This is a relatively reasonable take. Unfortunately, that's not what most AI investors or non-technical punters think. Since GPT 1 it's been all about unlocking 100%+ annual GDP growth by wholesale white collar automation. I agree

It's not a particular model. It's every model. And it's just interesting that no other manufacturer seems to have the same problem. iPhones are just too advanced, I suppose.

Apple has been proven to intentionally slow down older devices, but it's definitely not to inflate their profits. It's just a way to kindly preserve your old battery for you. And they try to keep it a secret from you so you don&#x

As companies grow, they tend to move away from subjective performance reviews like that and toward more objective metrics. Otherwise, it's too easy for personal politics to contaminate the promotion process. Employees are incentivized

I didn't realize "performance tracking" actually just meant "blind metric tracking". Are there lots of rules to differentiate the good kinds of metrics (like actual outcomes for customers and co-workers) from the ba

Yeesh. Prohibited? Then how do you decide who gets a promotion? At random?

If tech companies are this stupid, it ought to be very easy to disrupt and usurp them by simply shipping competing code that works. In that sense, the author is painting an incredibly bright picture of the future of the software industry: o

At Google, you can just run "buildifier" to auto-generate the build files from the source code import statements, so clearly the build files are redundant. That's not the point. Bazel is supposed to be fast, and keeping the a

Actually, the Rust toolchain makes cross-compiling way easier than any other fully-compiled language I've ever used. There are like 100 different platforms you can target by just setting the `--target` flag, and they all pretty much ju
