That is one possibility (that is playing out). Another one worth contrasting is the idea of AI as leverage for the worker. If you can take a regular developer and augment their output by 25%, then they have become more valuable to you and y

I think this is even getting ahead of itself, since the story is writing that you can be treated this way without yet being charged. Not knowing if the author "deserves" it puts you in the shoes of the detainee in either case, sin

I think there's some ambiguity in the discussion around what people mean when they say "good code". Good code for a business is robust code, that's functionally correct, efficient where it needs to be and does not cost t

Lack of developers, if juniors don't get hired they will move onto other industries. Company brain drain, knowledge leaves with your seniors if you decide to get rid of them, or they just leave due to the conditions AI creates. I don&#

There's a really interesting project in Japanese natural language processing called J-Moshi that had a novel approach and in my opinion good results. They tried to make it mimic the way Japanese is full of really quick acknowledgement

It's easy for me to say because I don't mind old cars, but you really don't have to go that old to find something without ad-tech or tracking. You can have a completely acceptable experience in say a 2015 Toyota Camry or Crow

Oh that's why the "Hoonipig" had that livery. I must admit I didn't think much about it's origins, but it was one of my favourite cars to come out of the Hoonigan/Ken Block machine. edit: on second look, it doe

I should hope you're not being serious! In case anyone thinks this is real, decaf is not made from the dirt. It's beans that have gone through one of a few different processes. Swiss water method is what I prefer due to the low ch

I don't know if it really plays out like that, though I hope so. Many businesses are mega successful in spite of incredibly poor or inefficient technical execution. I don't know if it really matters so long as customers get the th

I just can't imagine relying on something like that for my safety. I have worked on GPS and IoT solutions in related spaces and the comms networks aren't reliable, and actual control of a consumer vehicle is about the last thing I

I've always found the "time is money" hourly rate comparisons a bit contrived, because I can't actually trade my every waking hour for an hourly rate. The reality for most people is that the trade-off is actually between

A decent electronics repair shop/individual should be able to replace the battery with an equivalent, it'll be worth it given the cost of them. I wouldn't be surprised if camera repair joints would consider it unsavable but t

I would put this in the luxury goods category, which has been doing really well. Photography has a lot of gear horders too, so I wouldn't be surprised if on that alone it sells out. Then people who actually want to use it will stay pri

Generally speaking I think we should expect better. But it did remind me of how Japanese websites sometimes have opening hours. The website shows a closed status page during the out if hours time. Which I think makes some sense for some ser

If we have to devolve into a tech dystopia, the least they could do is make it interesting. The billionares should get into a lunar robot war, corporate space wars would make a great drama. Maybe if they're busy playing Star Wars they&

An actual plan would involve regulation, otherwise we are just complaining loudly while things march on anyway. I fully expect things to march on anyway. I have no idea how it plays out for creative industries, I am still thinking and obser

It's really clear that businesses are hoping to replace people with AI. In an industry that is already very difficult to make a stable living in, and troubled with regular plagiarism, is it really that surprising that any encroachment

That's true but employees offer more than code output, and you still need people operating the "machine" at this stage. I am interested in how corporate politics evolves in this new environment. Usually all the way up the cha
