Google feels like a stereotypical popular girl in high school. Google is well-liked and good at a myriad of things. Out of the blue, a charming new transfer student arrives, impressing everyone with her exceptional dancing prowess. Google,

I can speak from experience on this. Getting started with TensorFlow was very complicated with sparse documentation, so we dropped the idea of using it.

I know we all love GPT-4, and it totally deserves it, but we really need to support other companies building their own large language models even if it's Google. We don't want a monopoly situation.

I recommend experienced engineers dip their toes into management to see if it's the right career path for you. But make sure that you're able to back out if you hate it, which is a very likely outcome.

I wonder how related to "long lyme disease" this is. I listened to a podcast, Patient Zero, about how a very small percentage of people who get lyme disease have symptoms for years.

Google got too corporate and played things too safe for too long. Imagine if Google released Bard 1 year ago.

Car infotainment systems are terrible. That's the reason why everyone wants CarPlay and Android Auto. It's kind of like going back to flip phones after using smartphones for years.

This reminds me of when one week, Webcrawler was the go-to search engine. Then it was Ask Jeeves, then Yahoo, then Google. This is one of those times where companies that used to be on top can slip very far behind.

Windows 11 has already lost the marketing battle. They should have kept the version number at 10 and gone with a "ui refresh" update. People aren't going to switch until Windows 12 is released.

Microsoft needs to declutter. Windows and Edge are starting to feel like a very disorganized junk drawer.

This only makes sense from a euro-centric view of the world. Month before Day is most compliant with the international standard for date (ISO 8601). We use Year-Month-Day fairly frequently in the United States too (though the most common

This sounds like Apple strong-arming their staff to try and rally around a mediocre product. The Apple Watch comparisons don't make sense. Even the Apple Watch Series 0 was totally worth it. You could get notifications on your wrist,

This has "rock is the devil's music" vibes to it. With congressmen reading lyrics to Alice Cooper songs, and saying it's going to destroy the American way of life. I guess things never change.

I like GPT-4's explanation of P vs NP. Prompt: "Give me good computer science arguments for why P = NP and why P != NP" Response: "The P vs. NP problem is a major open question in computer science, which asks whether pro

Twitch is part of Amazon, so likely just part of the bigger round of layoffs.

My personal experience: Many of these topics are electives. Database Systems, Concurrent Programming, and Network Programming were all topics that were covered in classes that are not part of the core curriculum. I found the same to be t

It's crazy to see such a dramatic about-face. Amazon recruiters used to be banging down the door of everyone with software engineering experience not too long ago.

Here are some badly thought out reasons to return to the office: 1). Collaboration: Most of the time this makes no sense since teams are much more geographically distributed nowadays since Covid. Are you actually talking to people in pers

Monetizing what we took for granted as available for free has really rubbed everyone the wrong way. I've noticed teams are much less likely to request paid Docker Desktop, especially since there are perfectly suitable free alternative

This reminds me of carcinisation. Where natural selection tends to heavily favor crab-shaped animals even though they come from different lineages. Natural selection seems a lot like physics. Given similar initial conditions and a populatio

We typically use LinearMouse for this. Allows you to even set scrolling direction, scroll speed, acceleration profile, etc per mouse. But yeah, MacOS is a little like Gnome Shell. It requires a few basic apps to make it usable, but after

It's just the normal Amazon app, not anything special. And not to judge, but I think a password manager is really beneficial. You can even self-host it if you're concerned about security.

I think we've just given OpenAI's developers a good set of test cases that they can develop against. I expect all of these to not work eventually.

Don’t take this too seriously, this has been a Rupert Murdoch position that his papers have trumpeted for a long time now. Don’t forget that the WSJ is just as much under his umbrella as the New York Post is.
