What about hallucinations though? If the LLM missed just one number, which at this point is very likely, you would get totally distorted information. Sorry if I missed something, but skimming through the site I didn't find any informat

What you are alluding to is a modern interpretation of the theory, one that arose from Einstein's postulation about the relationship between space and time. This interpretation produces novel, testable predictions which have been exper

The theory of gravity is easily falsifiable. If we identify an object that has a given mass and does not produce the expected gravitational attraction, we will have to review the theory. Your assessment is very harsh. Popper's framewor

There's a value to compartmentalization, and this solution does not capture it. If you have to make one small change and it cascades through individual modules of your code, it may be true that more work is required, but you going thro

I was excited initially, but now I would place the probability that this is true at under 1%. If you build a working room temperature superconductor in 2021 and have a patent ready in March 2023, it is absolutely ridiculous that you would n

If anything, I hope Atlassian is looking into some AI capabilities for precisely this purpose. I also find their search feature lacking when dealing with a huge knowledge base, and perhaps a bot would improve things.

In my personal experience, devs that "cross-pollinate" in other fields are usually more competent than someone with the same YOE from a purely tech background.

Compared to what, though? If Teams can be had for free, that's the baseline they have to fight against.

Embraer makes some very interesting mid-sized commercial planes. This piece is light on details and the price range seems crazy optimistic - can you believe you would only pay 2x or 3x what an Uber charges to fly over a city? Nevertheless,

Honest question: if we can enforce limitations on a person's liberty, freedom and so on when they drive a car, why couldn't we do the same when they hold public office?

Almost all the big companies you mentioned were founded 50+ years ago. When it comes to tech, yeah you can cite Spotify, but against the US big techs it's kind of cute that this is the EU's calling card. Ornikar? GitPod? Please. F

Tom Hanks can generate millions so he gets millions, and Netflix thinks AI can generate millions too, so it's not hard to understand why they would pay a lot for that. I sympathise with the strike, but I think it's misguided to th

Ok, so make an enormous capital investment in tech that will be outdated in two years - if not already outdated, as you mentioned AMD and Intel. Then, I'll need to hire geniuses who can extract juice out of this hardware at a scale tha

While I understand you, I don't share your pessimism. The golden age you alluded to was elitist. Very few people around the world benefitted from technology, it was a game for privileged and/or rich kids. Now we have literally bil
