I see a bit of distinction here, that the foundation models aren't actually 10x better than in 2022. What's improved though is that we have far more domain knowledge of how to get more out of slightly improved models. So consider

My experience so far is that, if you're limiting the "capacity" to junior engineer, yes, especially when it's seen a problem before. It's able to quickly realize a solution and confirm the solution works. It does no

League has the same zero tolerance policy as union. Though union players seem way beefier and move way slower on the field, so an impact that knocks someone down looks far more dangerous than in league. League players seem fast enough to do

Yes, Tailwind's CSS reminds me of the same unoptimized HTML tag soup that editors of the 2000s era web used to spit out. Tailwind is created by designers for designers. It's perfect for how designers think about layout and works w

I hate to be a contrarian right now, and it’s hard to disagree that an entire generation of science progress will be severely slowed because of this incompetence. However, deep scientific cultural do roots exist here and won’t be stamped ou

Isn’t this what everyone voted for? I assume this is just more of the same neo-liberalists’ Heritage Foundation at play here. No one is saying science shouldn’t science. Just that the government shouldn’t be in the business of funding it. H

If you contextualize this as a form of limiting the power and reach of bots, and you avoid going down the rabbit hole of speech and censorship, then this move is actually a very clever way of scaling that out. Trust is always going to be a

Isn't the article suggesting that because students do not have access to their phones during the school day, they are suffering withdrawl? I'm interpreting the message that students should not have a phone at all or at least in li

If Bluesky ever gets close to becoming a serious threat to Meta's walled garden, the effort to fight back against them will take a lot of capital. Just the legal battles alone will cost a fortune. Wikipedia isn't a threat to anyon

All of the big tech companies today are the result of 100s of smaller, well intentioned tech companies that got acquired into these behemoths. I always look at how WhatsApp played out as the company. They were the good guys, and didn't

There's no reason Bluesky has emulate what FB Newsfeed and Twitter/X did to solve engagement by promoting certain items over others. At the very least, they do have hindsight to learn from.

I imagine it's mostly going to be folks who were planning to leave anyway, and this is the nudge they needed to do it sooner. The downside to this approach is that they will probably tilt more towards senior and staff engineers who hav

Seems like it's fair to assume, both canines and humans are highly adaptable, and we behave the way we need to in the environment we're in. My dog has never shown me anything except love and compassion, and that gets him the best

It’s a nonissue in small projects, but I’m not sure I agree that `{ x * it }` is easy to reason about when coming back to this block in 6 months. It’s mostly something that I’ve seen bite engineers during refactoring.

I constantly run into situations where I need to nest an iterator computation, and things like "it" get confusing. I'm all for adding language features to avoid boilerplate, and it's clearly useful. I just want to call o

2010s visual art was full of super saturation and hyperrealism due to Marvel and Instagram filters. Sony's "Into the Spiderverse" freed itself from the shadow of Pixar, and has forever changed what high quality, mass audience

I can't tell if this article is trying to make it seem like a negative or not. Every decade defines is own unique style and it spreads until it's no longer distinct. 3rd wave coffee shops all look like that because they started du

I was hoping this article would cover non-obvious date time quirks when conveying this to humans. If the context is an event, what does midnight mean? A one-day event might start at 6pm but not end until 2 or 3am. A computer considers that

The problem with 2-4 hour boardgames that require extension rulebooks, launched in the last decade, is that these games are islands. No game can point to another game to offer mental shortcuts in absorbing similar gameplay.

This is the right answer, sadly. I had moved over to Mastodon and already people are using it to raise pitchforks. I just don't think our human brains deserve the power that comes with social media.

Andreessen and Co. have always been part of this strange utopian Libertarianism where they believe with all their hearts, that tech sets you free. I say the word strange, because it's optimistic, and forward looking, and not cynical. P

Clojure is a quirky language, and I really enjoyed writing a proof-of-concept microservice with it back in 2015-era when everyone was shouting "Scala is the way!" I was able to prototype with it and stand it up in a weekend. With

MacOS (ie NeXTstep) was built from the ground up to be an open and extremely extensible OS. There were countless ways to add in some 3rd party extension or hook. Since there were multiple runtimes to access your software, it was actually an

That's not fair. The sandbox was not the reason for WinRT/UWP's failure in the market. It was the mostly unfinished tablet UI that they half ported from their phone and told developers that was the future. They even copied Ap

Oh, I realize there's a misunderstanding somewhere, and likely the manager's fault more than anything. I imagine at some leadership training, they were probably encouraged to get their direct reports to open up and misunderstood t

From my cynical definition, it's a gate-kept level based on a senior engineer's actual sphere of influence within an organization. At any medium to large company, this role is usually the dividing line between someone who could be

The goal with any of these icebreakers is to encourage the team to be humble and approach work related problems in a thoughtful manner. It's easy for someone to assume you are asked to open up about non-work related stories, but it&#x2

Have you had much success adopting consume and borrow? Once you need anything in the swift standard library, you can't use a non-copyable struct with it. The keywords are all in too, so either you write completely self-contained rust-l

I still have no idea where macros fit into a project, or why I would want to use them. They seemingly built this functionality for SwiftUI previews maybe?! and didn't really consider how this could be a core part of the language. At le
