Some programmers prefer rubber ducky to colleges for similar reasons and it works for them. Assuming people have time to listen, would they be better coders if they explained their problems to human instead? Maybe. But maybe not for them ne

I can blindly distinguish Moog from Behringer with compressed youtube audio and I don't even have good ears (at least for one instrument I did that experiment on). It's just a signal, I'm sure it can be copied perfectly but M

I guess it's sarcasm, but if you are experienced and have project loaded in your mind you also don't need to use code completion. Stuff like copilot feels to me like a stronger code completion.

I've never really been limited by CPU when running postgres (few TB instances). The bottleneck is always IO. Do others have different experience? Plus there's elegance and a feeling of being in control when you know query is assoc

Investors have no idea what thickness the wall should be in their building either. Clients not being experts at the job they are getting somebody else to do is not a new pattern. So while some trust is required, it's best if you can ge

Just hire pentesters along with the development team. Make sure they are not affiliates. You can put in contract that as long as security issues are present they need to fix them before getting paid, which seems like a reasonable expectatio

The data is already there. People will get bored with manipulations and they can just ignore current timespan. Even currently, creative individuals is 0.01% of users which is easy to spot with simple heuristics especially given such a small

They are majority. Why punish them because a few people can't handle not having full access to the device? I like open ecosystems but I don't think your argument holds. Nobody can be an expert in everything.

Tangentially related, but it's interesting that Chomsky stated in a few interviews that he seems LLMs as just plagiarism machines, that they don't create anything new. Which I disagree with - us being creative is also just collidi

I think you are oversimplifying. You've chosen arbitrary abstraction layer. It's like saying it's just transistors again. Or it's just machine learning. It matters what they can deliver and Jim's track record is bes

Accelerating star-like masses to 99% speed of light in a few seconds also seems somewhat less efficient than your typical FM transceiver.

You probably can have a better AMD setup. Just look at things they brag about [1] - our newest 24-core machine is UP TO 4x faster than 8-core Intel from I don't know how many years ago. I have no idea about actual performance but it do

Oh, thank you. Now I'm confused to be honest, I've encountered lignin theory stated as a fact in a few books and I have no basis to tell who's right. Why does it always have to be "it's complicated".
