My guess would be scientific experiments where they need to correlate or sequence data over large regions. Things like correlating gravitational waves with radio signals and gamma ray bursts.

Really? Language models are fundamentally not equivalent in scale and scope to formal logical models. People are extrapolating poorly.

It’s also meta overstating the power of influence. Why would they do that? Because it’s good marketing for them to sell a story around how their services running ads can be used for highly effective mass influence.

The ux changes and features remind us of pocket and all the other low value features that come with disruptive ux changes as other commenters have noted. Meanwhile, Mozilla canned the servo and mdn projects which really did provide value fo

> I add to my team’s CLAUDE.md multiple times a week. This concerns me because fighting tooling is not a positive thing. It’s very negative and indicates how immature everything is.

Google has been doing this well in their office suite for years. Discoverability has been way higher in Gsuite than office.

Gmail search has been excellent for 20 years. Outlook search is still terrible even with copilot. LLM isn’t the killer feature, a search that works is.

I paid quite a fee to have crave streaming service in canada. It's pretty premium with HBO and that. Yet, all the star trek shows are now behind ads.. several minutes for a 20 minute episode of lower decks. Things are getting out of ha

This is a recent phenomenon. It seems most of the pages today are SEO optimized LLM garbage with the aim of having you scroll past three pages of ads. THe internet really used to be efficient and i could always find exactly what i wanted wi

I’ve learned most languages on the job: c#, php, golang, JavaScript, … I know others who learned ADA on the job. It’s not too terrible.

Yeah. Everyone wants to know some cross functional initiative that you led and the exact business value of it.

There’s too much emphasis on career growth into leadership. I know so many programmers who simply want to solve the trickiest of technical problems, do good work they can feel proud of, and go home to their families. They want stability mor

Thousands of generations of parents had children much younger than today. I think we’re too worried about having everything perfect and de-risked these days. Also realize that parenting is what grew me up. I don’t think people are ever “rea

I’d estimate the vast majority of CVEs in third party source are not directly or indirectly exploitable. The CVSS scoring system assumes the worst case scenario the module is deployed in. We still have no good way to automate adjusting the

M365 is arguably far worse than office97. Drive/sharepoint is confusing and team is especially broken. Azure is a product all right, but there’s nothing particularly better there than anywhere else.

Absolutely. Who hasn’t spent time scrolling down a page, past three ads with filler text to make the page longer, trying to find whatever you needed. Most of the time I just need a quick answer to a question and the best pages can take me r

My take on government APTs is that they are boutique shops that do highly targeted attacks, develop their own zero days which they don’t usually burn unless they have so many.., and are willing to take time to go undetected. Criminal organi

LLMs are rather easy to convince. There’s no formal logic embedded in them that provably restricts outputs. The less believable part for me is that people persist long enough and invest enough resources at prompting to do something with an
