This is the usual cycle of game developers. There are usually layoffs after a project, even if it's successful. It's why I never chose game development as a career.

"this won’t really benefit the public at large when it’s done" I'm currently enjoying subsidized AI usage at relatively cheap prices from these same companies. It's cheaper than a cell phone bill and most people can affo

I think it's still the favorite. Every SWE I know still uses it.

While all of these might offer some cooling in your home, nothing beats air conditioning.

Hactivists are just petty dictators, with no power. Instead of trying to make changes democratically, they attempt to create it through destruction. This person's antics went from spywhere creator to the police. Being 'ant-police&

At some point, I think companies will move back to in-person interviews only with a controlled environment, to ensure no AI cheating.

Any job that can be learned in 1-2 years will be low pay.

In the 90s, anyone that knew HTML could get a six figure development job. Within a decade, this changed, and you needed a new skillset (people that didn't change were out of work). It's the same with AI. It automates a portion of

We have continued to find backdoored Chinese manufactured routers and network devices. Will there ever be a way to fully audit Chinese models?

It won't pay off if LLMs efficiency gets good enough to make those data centers obsolete. It's a huge gamble.

Canada shares a border with the US. Replacing this means a permanent increase in cost for many goods and services. I just don't see this as a good long-term plan.

Most engimeering decisioms aren't made my engineers. Many times, the goalpost keeps moving while the deadline stays the same. The end result is cutting corners and perfection is never even a thought.

I have a hard time with Caffeine. It will work for awhile, but at some point, I start getting massive anxiety and have to quit. Quitting takes me a week and comes with body pains and sometimes mild depression. When I was in high school, I u

When specific movies were poorly reviewed on Rotten Tomatoes, apparently because they thought they were not genuine,the company pulled the reviews. This is no different. I seriously doubt most of them are genuine and instead a way to post p

I wish this was in the US. I've almost been hit multiple times by kids on an e-bike racing down the sidewalk not paying attention or using headphones.

Probably not. The Wordpress Bug Bounty program pays very little. Exploit brokers will pay 500K, but we wouldn't be seeing it here if it was sold.

Then why didn't we see the same writeup earlier? If you look through the writeup, you still need the skills to go through what the LLM gives you and actually create a valid proof of concept. I've been using LLMs to find security v

Easy to do, when you don't need to put billions of dollars into research, and just have the end product. It reminds me of socialized healthcare: wait for US companies to develop the drugs, buy a cheap generic, and somehow point to it a

Really? I use claude regularly, and the Chinese models are far behind and feel like a cheap copy. It's Linux on the desktop all over again. Next year will be its time.

Any large company in China is only allowed to get this way by direct control from the CCP. This isn't really anything nee and I thought it was common knowledge by now.

The Chinese government is so nice and giving. In fact, they have so much love in their hearts for the Uyghur people, they created a special mobile app for them, just to make sure nothing bad happens to them.

The LLMs will be invisible. Everyone will see the harness (the client app you use in your daily life that drives some LLM-based function).

This sounds like development/engineering will eventually go from a knowledge-based career to a factory worker, with a reduction in salary. It takes way less knowledge and experience to guide an LLM, than it does to write it yourself. E

Trump wasn't 'duped'. He did underestimate the level of involvement in Iran that would be required. It is hurting China. Their economy has slowed to a crawl as a result of stalled oil and has delayed any real gains they had b

"The logic is that free, user-built companions inside mass-market general-purpose apps are impossible to moderate at scale." I think they misspelled censor.

Americans can't even handle flock cameras. I would like to see their response to the level of control and spying in Chinese society.

This is a very rational view of it. AI is just a tool. I've found it useful in many ways, but I still can't completely replace all work with AI.

I would be careful with this demo. When you go to whatismyip.com, it's showing: 104.28.233.73. Someone could use this to cloak their IP address and do some damage.

You might not be hearing from these people. I use LLMs daily to piece together technical reports and smooth out rough drafts. It saves me hours of time / week. I also use it to augment my technical work, because I don't want to be
