I work in fintech, formerly as a contractor for some major banks, and absolutely nothing you say is true, generally. This might be the case for a couple of banks - or maybe in one or two specific countries, but broadly, none of what you&#x2

We could have both, easily. It’s a shame.

I think versioning still helps solve this problem. There’s a lot of things you can do with internal users to prevent causing a burden though - often the most helpful one is just collaborating on the spec and making the working copy availabl

Yes. If you believe you are the exception in the face of overwhelming evidence, you are most likely wrong.

God, Nacchio's story is infuriating. "Sorry, you can't use this evidence that exonerates you - it would be bad for the government."

There are plenty of argumentative and opinionated reasons to say it matters, but there is one that can't really be denied - reviewers (and project maintainers, even if they aren't reviewers) are people whose time deserves to be re

I'm right there with you, and having a similar experience at my day job. We are doing a bit of a "hack week" right now where we allow everyone in the org to experiment in groups with AI tools, especially those that don't

The parallels in how industry members talk about it is similar as well. No one denies that the internet boom was important and impactful, but it's also undeniable that companies wasted unfathomable amounts of cash for no return at the

I've never worked with a junior developer that was incapable of learning or following instructions unless I formatted them in a specific way.

It was always stupid, but no one is immune to hype, just different types of hype. Especially with the amount of money that was put into just astroturfing the technology as more than it is.

It's refreshing to finally see CEOs and other business leaders coming around to what experienced, skeptical engineers have been saying for this entire hype cycle. I assumed it would happen at some point, but I am relieved that the chan

If it was just for security reasons, they could sponsor FOSS development on the implementation. I am of the opinion that it is to remove one of the last ways to build web applications that don't have advertising and tracking injected i

I don't think that's really a useful question, honestly. If you asked a person from the 1920's to choose what was more impressive between a Microwave oven and cellular communication (both consequences of the invention of rada

It’s not a profit/loss evaluation. The people doing this have money to waste. It’s the same as spending money to go out drinking to them.

What? The internet did that ages ago. We just pretended it didn't because some students didn't know how to use Google.

No such stipulation or claim is made. The only verified claim is that the proof is valid.

I don’t believe that you understand what an LLM is - that or you have a problem separating science fiction from reality.

Why would they exclude the solution to the problem and give themselves a handicap that the AI does not have?

I don’t need to try to solve one. The answers are available online. That is my entire point.

There is no “we”, here. What you and other AI hype proponents call intelligence and what I call intelligence are not the same thing.
