My comment was half in gentle jest, but you have really found a relevant example there - thanks for sharing. I guess I have a potential PhD project if I ever want to get into maritime biology: "The Dark Side of the Fish: How Crafty Par

That's interesting! They might also evolve a tendency towards moving to the left flank of the fish.

I believe these concerns about entry-level talent pipeline neglect one thing, which is that LLMs offer learning on steroids - motivated intelligent junior developers can learn more about any technical or business topic in one morning of wel

I am surprised by this: in my experience, LLMs excel in configuration of software far more than they do in writing it. And there are tools emerging almost daily for AI-powered browser and native application automation. So I don't see h

"a fast and effective way to have a multi-million-token context window" This truly is the challenge - both to have the huge context window and the ability to conduct coherent and comprehensive reasoning using the entire context. W

"Excel requires the user to manually enter every scenario—even in the simple example above, exploring 2 cars, 3 apartments, and 2 Netflix plans would require entering 12 scenarios, with names like “Cheap Car / Medium apartment &#x

Web components are still a little tricky to work with. For example, passing down a complex state to child components is easy in React, but in native web components not so straightforward. Stencil.js is a nice choice for that, but it is just

I believe this is actually where Gen AI tools like Claude.AI come into their own. For example, in the past few weeks we needed to plan a complex integration project with both frontend and backend integrations, dependencies on data provided

If you are right, a modest investment in an index fund of shares covering tech companies in the USA should generate enough returns over the next few years to retire in comfort.

I am guessing you live in an area with high average housing prices in the catchment area of your school? Over the past 60 years, several generations of parents moving to catchment areas of good schools creates a self-reinforcing loop where

Very enterprising on his part, and a nice reminder of the culture of the early-ish web.

The kind of school you went to sounds very different from the grammar school that my working-class father went to in the 1960s and that helped him escape a life of asbestos-breathing drudgery in moribund shipyards.

Probably spend a lot of time working out who your company's customers are, what problem they want you to solve and how the company is currently performing at doing that. This can be done together with different people, for example the

Amazing how many areas of humanities, physical sciences and informatics and engineering were required to achieve this result. Showcases the range and depth of human knowledge perfectly.

Claude answers a lot of its questions by first writing and then running code to generate the results. Its only limitation is the access to databases and size of context window, both of which will be radically improved over the next 5 years.

The LLMs are now writing their own algorithms to answer questions. Not long before they can design a more efficient algorithm to complete any feasible computational task, in a millionth of the time needed by the best human.

That's very true: the opportunity cost of most business projects is effectively zero once you are retired, so you can pursue something only marginally profitable that you enjoy and it counts as a win. In fact you have a competitive adv

What is an "unlikely event" for any given passenger is nearly a 100% certainty for Tesla. The engineers and product managers who came up with that solution probably have trouble sleeping at night these days.

I have both a German mobile number and landline number, and have never once received a scam and spam call on either in the 8 years I have been living in Germany. I guess it is a problem of having a public contact number on a website.
