Many many workplaces are now mandating AI usage in some form. I could easily see it.

I think anything that faces the internet needs extreme caution. I've done enough pentesting myself to see that mistakes are abound and most of them are logic problems.

Nintendo dominated last generation with switch. The games were only HD and many at 30fps. Some AAA didn't even get ported to them. But they sold a ton of units and a ton of games and few complained because they were having fun which is

Given how much more favored ECDSA and ECDH is these days, i recommend teaching elliptic curves. They're actually quite simple to understand mathematically if you want a shallow comprehension.

CVE are important but there’s also a lot of theatre there. How many are known exploitable? Most aren’t if you follow threat intel. Most of the Internet infrastructure is running c/c++ and is very safe.

Grad students and even post docs often do a lot of this manual labour for data entry and formatting. Been there, done that.

The 40% investment could presumably go into jobs and infrastructure that might be more durable.

Many arguing in favor of tarrifs note that it is not a free market. China is definitely playing to dominate with government assistance deep in the supply chain on up.

The author literally said gpt is spending 10x more for equivalent. This really means ChatGPT had that intelligence at that cost a year or two ago. Smaller domain models are better at focused tasks in that area but can’t be generalized.

LLM to me are the least interesting part of AI. Deep learning has proven very useful for signal processing and image segmentation among other things. Those are small enough to run on phones. LLM simply don’t seem to be that useful at small

I may be cynical but I’ve seen a lot of AI hype artists warn about the danger as a form of guerrilla marketing. Who knows though.

I have a spicy take! OKRs every quarter don’t keep you focused on the prize, they keep you focused on your own performance for whatever the industry equivalent of publish or perish is called these days.

Education is a provincial function in Canada and I think the system works great. Some provinces like Ontario struggle more than others but I think it works out well overall.

> If a platform lies or spread malicious content, it seems people want the platform to have the liability and consequences for the malfeasance. Does the government then setup a ministry of truth? Who gets to decide that?

What I remember from the 80s/90s is that computer speed was never fast enough to keep up with use cases. Users really did want speed and marketers focused on speed.

But if they have lower cholesterol and still have a heart attack, then certainly the causal link is not quite there. It seems you’re suggesting it’s a good proxy measurement if untampered by statins though

Hire one junior per team. Don’t overload your senior staff with OKRs and managerial tasks. Let mentorship and apprenticeship happen.

I find context _sometimes_ work but more often than not i rephrase the question a million times, try to break it down into smaller problems, .. whatever. It seems like it just doesn't "understand".

This is the huge trend I’ve noticed on the last ten years. I too would love it if CS students studied more operating systems, networks, and computer architectures. Software engineering is very much an apprenticeship and we’re building real

Just try to challenge and mentor people on not using it because it’s incapable of the job and wasting all our time when the mandate from down high is to use more of it.

In defence, it's not just the developer. Every tech company seems to be copying the FAANG template of constantly having to prove your value and looking over your shoulder. There's no more "tenure" if you want to call it
