If you're working with the 1% of human developers who think like that, sure. My experience has been that current models are way beyond all but the most highly competent developers I've encountered in my several decades career.

Surely "pile of...?"

And of course these SOX-mandated second reviews were 99% of the time pure theater.

Right on. In many ways AI has just exposed how bogus and delusional our industry's "process" has been for years.

My experience conflicts with this assertion. I've used Claude to achieve an understanding of two large codebases (that I mostly wrote, and certainly came up with most of the concepts therein) to the point that it's far superior to

It's asymmetric warfare. It costs them little to demand a false positive be acted upon, but costs you plenty to refute it.

I'd say "some learning" -- I've learned how to operate and maintain an excavator from YouTube without significant struggle. otoh it might be difficult to learn linear algebra that way. But otooh an LLM might be far bette

I mean, I'm concerned about the societal impacts too, but this article is pure nonsense as far as how useful today's AI tools are. I know multiple people with very high paid jobs who have told me they simply couldn't do that

I read the paper's abstract. They're not actually claiming what commenters here think they are. They're saying that there's some sort of pipeline processing for the task of "listening to speech" and when the su

Not really (except perhaps if it's Stockhausen they're playing). A piece of music played with two hands is still one coherent information stream.

Seems doubtful to me that there will be any hardware in our species specific to processing language. It's going to be the same basic hardware as Chimps. Whatever is going on that's related to us being a social species is all softw

Different classes of shares are possible, as are other time-varying schemes such as warrants. But that's not what Musk did. The shares all have the same class.

Yes, but all bubbles (except the tulips...) have a real, valuable, new technology at their core. That it's amazing technology doesn't stop the financial side of it being a bubble. In fact it all but ensures it is.

Not the parent but I'm guessing: a) it's expensive and b) you can shoot your feet off.

Sometimes conventional wisdom stops being wise. Also 90% of the people in charge of conventional wisdom have their personal wealth depend on retail investors not selling.

But you can play them if you have 6-finger AI hands.

Not to rain on the parade but my (er...considerable) experience has been that the videos you end up watching to figure out non-trivial songs do not have tabs at all. The teacher generally describes finger positions one finger at a time visu

But the tabs would be wrong (since they're invariably wrong in UG).

Hmm. Either I've lost my mind, or you're running a different Docker than me, or you're thinking of some strange scenario such as a Mac where docker is actually inside a VM, or you're wrong. While there is a feature to do

I doubt you need a prescription for most vaccines. Typically there's some sort of guidelines that might say normally given to over 55 years old, but there will be some wiggle room due to other hard to prove preconditions such as family

That said, once built and lit up, it's hard to move a data center to another country.

Serious things tend to be long and tedious and potentially full of proprietary information.

As someone who was there at the time, OSI certainly didn't fail by being "overcomplicated". It failed because a) they charged money to read the standards documents and b) TCP/IP already had so much deployment momentum th

I saw the title and assumed an article by Wolfram. But it's by Tim Roughgarden who I know from algorithmic game theory. Anyway, I'll register my membership in the "it's more fundamental than that" camp.

My experience has been that Claude/Opus will ask me questions, although sometimes I have to step in and redirect a bit. Codex/GPT just dives in and cranks code out, which after using Claude for a year I found rather concerning. It
