The thermodynamics argument misses the fact that our body is not a single input, output engine. The body will use energy from several different sources, with different efficiencies. It will store energy in different forms, with different ef

Yeah I thought that was good. The fix wasn't that long either given how fast enterprises like this usually operate.

It is a trope at this point. I think Rivian has done a pretty good job here, but the trope is that the non-bike companies wanting to implement their technology, also feel the need to reinvent the bicycle part of the bicycle. Ignoring the de

It's most notable to me in mid level manufacturing equipment. Once upon a time you would never touch a chinese made CNC, lathe, mill etc. Now they're totally fine, and offer significant value for your dollar. Sometimes outperformi

Which seems to be a great thing for liveability and happiness metrics across the board.

Not that hard, but also why would you want to promote based on metrics? That will get you people gaming the system, and I can't imagine a single software dev metric that actually captures the full gamut of value a dev can provide. You

Saving misguided AI codebases is going to be quite lucrative for contract work I suspect. A lot of non-technical people are going to get surprisingly far into their product without realising they are on a bad path. It already happens now wh

Some variants of Australian English are very similar to Canadian English. I can't always immediately tell if someone is from Canada or home. This is probably because some states in Aus use Queens English passed down from the colonies.

I am not from the US, but your administration could still fumble the AI bust even if it wants to avoid it. Who knows maybe they are hoping to short it.

I don't disagree with you on the technology, but mostly my comment is about what the market is expecting. With such a huge capex expenditure it is expecting a huge returns. Given AI has not proven consistent ROI generally for other ent

It's been a rollercoaster, and it's still not clear what's on the other side of the loop.

When it works well you both normalise your expectations, and expand your usage, meaning you will hit its limits, and be even more disappointed when it fails at something you've seen it do well before.

I agree, I think we are in the latter phase already. LLMs were a huge leap in machine learning, but everything after has been steps on top + scale. I think we would need another leap to actually meet the markets expectations on AI. The mark

Well we are all doing different tasks on different codebases too. It's very often not discussed, even though it's an incredibly important detail. But the other thing is that, your expectations normalise, and you will hit its limit

There have been a few consequences to my pain tolerance. I grew up with chronic pain and daily recurring severe injuries, the doctors discouraged pain killers because I would become dependent and so I had a slew of paid mediation techniques

We would also need to know how many people are willing to pay for it, on a consumer level. Additionally business will need to see real ROI for using it. At the moment everyone is trying their best to implement it, but it remains to be clear

A brand is built on sentiment. That's the upside. You are witnessing exactly why it's important here, as people tell you why they're going to stop being customers. I don't watch anime so have no skin in this game, but th

Of course, but some technologies are more mature and stable, and maintaining those amounts to set and forget security updates, not rewriting functionality to keep up with changing features etc. It's not a dichotomy though. If you build

I more or less agree, if you are a small company with a small real world userbase, you don't need hyperscaling tech, and thus hyperscaling problems. I think some companies oversubscribe to reliability technology too. You should assess

How is that any different than having a developer work on it, which also doesn't happen? It's not a money thing, huge companies with dev teams fail at this too. I don't disagree that things probably won't stay static tho

It said simple web pages, not web apps. Web apps that use APIs are basically in the same boat as a phone app. Constantly moving API target and platform requirements ever changing.

The reality of game development is that everyone wants to love it, but it is actually very hard to love. I bet a good percentage of people fall out of the funnel early.
