I agree, but live performance in the age of recording is already a luxury good, and it is unlikely an AI would replace live performance any more than a player piano or CD player would (or has.)

It must be wonderful to live in a place where that's an option. Due to my partner's work, I live in a town of about 100,000. There is a doctor shortage - New patient intake can be months. The system hangs on with physicians'

There are enough tech people that are ready to brain drain from here right now - some well placed money would go a long way right now if Germany, France, the Netherlands, or another tech hub was ready.

I want them to do the same study with managers. And maybe executives. Does relying on employees kill the same critical thinking skills? Or is this a skill that has to be cultivated like every other skill?

It is, but it's an order of magnitude better than the last set of no/low code tools for anyone who has the basics of programming already.

There's an alternative future where some genius figured out a technical innovation for hydrogen and batteries struggle to scale. There are definite disadvantages to hydrogen in retrospect, but some of that has to do with the relative s

So... that senior engineer plateau is real. And yes, it means you'll be making about the same amount of money, inflation-adjusted, after about 8-10 years, if you don't ever want to do the work to break into staff engineering. (And

I think this is meant to be funny, but what if you could stage your dating profile away from the apps and send to friends for review? Maybe have 5-10 of them?

Don't get a professional headshot, of course! But you absolutely should have someone who knows how to make you look as good as possible in a natural environment. You should also have a woman friend critically evaluate your profile. (If

I can see this being bad for OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic, for sure, or at least their current valuations, but I just don't understand why people think this is popping the AI bubble. This makes a bad assumption that the state of th

You absolutely can put it in your hobbies! The issue is that you rarely look your best in those pictures, and unless you are explicitly looking to date someone who loves to fish, you aren't showing them how they would integrate into yo

I think it's instructive to sit down with a woman who trusts you and watch how they evaluate dating profiles. It was certainly eye-opening for me. Your biggest competition is not the other men on the app. It's "do you make th

So, if a man has a bad experience, they're out a few hundred bucks and a few hours, in general. Ask a woman who trusts you about their worst experiences sometime.

If you've been set up by mutual friends, that means you have someone vouch for you. That means you're more likely to be safe. A bad experience for you is a bad couple of hours and a few hundred hours. Ask a woman, what is a bad ex

There are alternate explanations here. Men do not put as much effort into their presentation as women do. Men are putting out profiles that show themselves as anti-woman, and that's unattractive. Men absolutely should be pickier - they

If you ran from NYC to London or Paris, you could do the vast majority of the flight where this wouldn't be a problem.

I think it means people in the military and contractors are already using openai and other tools and nobody is able to stop them, even if it leaks secrets.

As a user, why should I care? I would just rather pay someone 100 bucks and not care whose fault it is. (And yes, that's why I don't use Linux on the desktop anymore, as much as I loved i3 and tiling environments.) It's proba

Two caveats for less-experienced engineers (whether by senority at a company or years in the industry): * As a manager, I would prefer you to crush those ten easy tickets if you aren't up to the task of the hard ticket. If that hard-fo

That's how we all solve problems. If this was novel, it would be a paper rather than a blog post. The meta-strategy of combining LLM and non-LLM techniques is going to be key for getting good results for some time.

That's how we get things like leftpad in the JS ecosystem. On one side, I think if we had a good system of trust, that's not a problem. And part of me likes the idea of something like Shadcn - you like a component? Copy it into yo

So, I wonder how AI is going to work with the new upgrade. Are teams going to delay upgrading until there is proper Claude support, for example?

by ebiester 2y ago
Yes, but how is that 15 year old going to do the same? What about the ones who don't end up winning the career lottery? We need this to be possible for two people making 40k a year, not 140.

If you're willing to spend money, Macrofactor basically is an automated version of this with a bit more refinement.

I am very diligent, and the truth is that it is hard and it changes how you eat to be more countable. On a cut, it matters more. On maintenance, it matters less. But most of it is a guessing game and making an assumption that it will all ev

This feels like someone who hasn't been in the industry long enough to know what it is like to try and design software before implementing it with groups larger than 3, and yearns for problems that aren't as complex as the ones th

The problem is that the vast majority of code will not have long term implications so long as it reaches a minimum of design, performance, and does its job without bugs. Consistency of patterns is more important than the optimal pattern for
