yeah, it's a hard problem to accurately tell people a reliablity number. Rachel famously wrote about this in "Your nines are not my nines"[0]. The truth is though, that some systems depend on others. Actions being down means

“LLMs can capture intent now” reads to me the same as: AI has emotions now, my AI girlfriend told me so. I don’t discredit you as a person or a professional, but we meatbags are looking for sentience in things which don’t have it, thats why

yeah, but sometimes the calculations they do are wrong. Very annoying when it happens, used to be common on the chipsets in the TB16 Thunderbolt docks from Dell... if you knew to turn off the offloading the ethernet worked otherwise it was

I unironically love the aesthetics of Phabricator. I also like stacked PRs (which is mercurials default).. Maybe it's worth a shot tbh.

"false equivalence" needs an equivalence claim to be false. I didn't make one. The sentence after "I have" was literally "you could argue the scales are different." GitHub spent a decade asking the world t

The link in my previous comment answers the credentials question in detail- including specific technical post-mortems on horizontally scaled stateful systems. Vertical scaling wasn't the topic.

I have. You could argue the scales are different, but computers are also faster now. So, argument to credentialism out of the way... What should we do as consumers if a provider that is a defacto monopoly due to network effects stops func

It's a cart and horse problem. You can choose to live where you don't need a car, but those places become fewer and fewer because of the distances needed for cars. (as in parking space minimums mandated by the city). "Not

Lots of apologia for Github here. Aside from the fact that defending a billion-dollar company is a bit strange; especially one that is steward to the the overwhelming majority of open-source software. Maybe that's good-will doing the w

I wonder if it's not a: "maintaining this kind of engine is a heck-of-a-lot of work and is why there are so many aviation regulations and the reason engine overhauls are forced and cost millions-of-dollars" kind of thing.

Hah, fun how that works. Maybe the trick is not caring if it comes across as creepy. If you take my genuine happiness to see you as creepy, maybe thats a you problem.

Fair point, and those papers are interesting (particularly the first one, which directly talks about this..). I think we might be talking about two different things though. The scientific evidence for Neanderthal sophistication was there fr

Character counting remains a huge issue without tools. Are you using only frontier models that are gated behind openai/anthropic/google APIs? Those use tools to help them out behind the scenes. It remains no less impressive, but I

Lies, damned lies. SCRUM by definition is meetings. in fact, I like this topic, because usually people use the motte and bailey of Agile. (as in, Agile is a manifesto to some, or a process to someone else) but scrum is super well define

After doing a bit more digging, the reality is more interesting than the video implies. Neanderthals didn't get a rebrand because white people found out they shared DNA; the bad reputation was always built on dodgy science that was alr

I also tend to find people who score well on those tests don't put much stock into them.

They were pretty great though. I mean, racism and people using anthropology to try and act superior to each other aside (which, I will grant, is a pretty big fucking aside): neanderthals were crazy strong and had bodies which had much more

What? Theres hundreds of MBAs who know this and it’s used to squeeze the workforce. Thats why its the default thinking from them, because it works sometimes. I think you missed something.

Laziness and cost cutting, the generated logo doesn’t even look good . A logo is quite literally one of the first things you see, it informs your first impression of a company. If they really care so little about that: then it does follo

Whaaaaaaaaat?! Apple, somewhat famously, build their power adapters incredibly well. If they’re not charging something my default assumption will be: that thing doesn’t support PD. https://youtu.be/SUlNKYI07SY?is=sJ2ICaXwxCs

Any job where there's a definable output can be measured. Factory workers are one type. Others might be farmers; if they're able to yield x tonnes of valid crops out of y acres.

That second comment isn't making that statement though. It's saying that: cost vs revenue is something we can see. If I buy a plow for $2,500 and it enables growth of $5000, then arguing "the plow was expensive" is a moo

Honestly, Intelligence and Motivation are the most important things to me, not specific competence with a particular technology. I generally feel like intelligent and motivated people can learn anything.
