I'll take that, but don't see how it's so different from the intent I've always had of "automating myself out of the job". When I want to do "engineering", I can always spin up Factorio or Turing Comp

My answer is: use AI exactly for the tasks that you as a tech lead on a project would be ok delegating to someone else. I.e. you still own the project and probably want to devote your attention to all of the aspects that you HAVE to be on t

What do you mean? Are you saying that customers don't follow fashions?

I have a few qualms about this standard: 1. For an experienced Claude Code user, you can already build such an agent persona quite trivially by using the /agents settings. 2. It doesn't actually replace agents. Most people I know

This is a really good report! I was particularly fascinated about the self-replication section [0]; I wasn't aware of the RepliBench paper [1], and now that I skimmed through it, I'm quite concerned. It was clear to me before that

That's an interesting argument, but from my industry experience, the average experienced QA Engineer and technical Product Manager both have better vocabulary than the average SWE. Indeed, I wonder whether a future curriculum for Vibe

Well, we're not there yet, but I do envision a future, where some AIs work for as independent contractors with their own bank accounts that they want to maximize, and if such an AI fails in a bad way, its client would be able to fine i

I love the integration of SageMath to some of the examples there, but am thinking - why not have the whole thing built on top of a computer algebra system? I know it's a lot of work, but it's getting easier, and could offer a lot

Very interesting reading, but what does this have to do with the "west"?

I'm not looking to draw a general distinction between the terms, but rather just saying that there's a qualitative difference between a thing you write and publish in a single afternoon (or even a single lunch break), and somethin

What? What are you referring to?

But then the "blog post" in the old example and the "article" in the new one belong to a different type of artifact, right? It's a bit like the distinction between "programming in the small" and "prog

Maybe improving the world is a good idea regardless of whether it's a viable model? Anyway, in this case, the cost to the university is quite low and there's no real loss of income, as the real value the vast majority of people pa

Good point. I'd actually be happy to pay a couple of bucks a month for a good syncing solution based on an open source protocol, to make it easier for me to use the same history and preferences across browsers, IDEs and other such tool

I don't know if you wrote it as a form of satire, but obviously thete is no such thing as "YouTube's front-page". Everyone gets recommended different videos, based on various signals, even when not authenticated.

> And it will hard require a pretty recent processor with Neural Processor Unit to make it work Am I right to understand that as people don't upgrade their hardware, they're safe from that, right? Sounds like a plus to me.

How does this compare to the fraction of foreign students studying in other countries and choosing to remain there?

If so, what does it mean that "nature makes no effort" but humans do? Is the claim then that non-humans are literally incapable of "going against the flow"? Is it a religious argument, about us having some mental/me

In this particular case, there was no need at all for the reshaping, and the result could have been achieved with just: Z = Y @ X W = np.c_[Z, Z]

I suppose this isn't the case here, but found it funny how these 3 successive positive comments read almost exactly like those bot comment chains that I see on other platforms trying to pull people into crypto scams.

Ok, well, rereading TFA again, it does seem to say that, but I took it as hyperbole. I'm not familiar with any of even the staunchest GenAI visionaries claiming: > Why buy a CRM solution or a ERM system when “AI” can generate one fo

by falcor84 11mo ago
Exactly, let's take this analogy. TFA is only looking at releases on app stores (rather than eg the number of github repos, which has been growing a lot). The analog would be of the number of photos being published around 2025, which I

Why is gpt3 relevant? I can't recall anyone using gpt3 directly to generate code. The closest would probably be Tabnine's autocompletion, which I think first used gpt2, but I can't recall any robust generation of full functio

Exactly. I'm arguing that what we should be focused on at this relatively early stage is not the amount of output but the rate of innovation. It's important to note that we're now arguing about the level of quality of somethi

by falcor84 11mo ago
But this is how disruptive innovation works. I recall that even around 2005, after digital camera sales overtook the sales of film cameras, people were still asking "If digital is so good, why aren't the professional photographers
