that’s true today and yet they will be bankrupt by 2030

Toyota has been way, way behind on electrification. I suspect they’ve been Innovator’s Dilemma’d are are in a death spiral that they haven’t even noticed yet

yeah. I worked on the internal banking connection at Square in the old days (~2011) and it was a _nightmare_. like, pre-TCP/IP connectivity that depended on dedicated copper to do teletype in COBOL-style fixed length fields in a crypti

I have on old fleet truck: four full doors and an eight-foot bed. I love it, it’s getting quite old, and I have no idea how I’m ever going to replace it
125.

yeah he's really underselling the recent models' ability to do the "Designing the solution conceptually" part. I still have to be in dialogue with the AI - I ask a lot of questions, we iterate towards something - but I c

you don’t have to say “in datacenters” when talking about linux, that is the obvious context in the vast majority of cases

I love Haskell because I can write provably correct code that still doesn’t work
129.
by jes5199 2y ago
yeah and then what. I don’t think desire is infinite.

if the AI transition really turns into an Artificial Labor revolution - if it really works and isn’t an illusion - then we’re going to have to have a major change in how we distribute wealth. The bad future is one where the owner class no l

sure but the bigger models don’t make these trivial mistakes, and I’m not sure if translating the LLM english sentences into LISP and trying to check them is going to be more accurate than just training the models better

how confident are we that they don’t? I hear a song sparrow and I can’t help but think their calls sound like compressed data, almost like a modem
133.

I’m still trying to understand this. Could it be that these are much larger codebases than I’m used to? I actually haven’t seen software analysis of codebases provide much value
134.
by jes5199 2y ago
I’m in the same boat, I really like the idea of it but the actual use of it eludes me. It’s like there’s a cultural gap, even when they’re talking about the practical applications of the system it’s incomprehensible; I eventually came to th

my iPhone gets into a state lately where a pane will suddenly lose the the ability to _scroll_. it can happen in any app, but I see it a lot in Safari. Like, what is even happening, this is a fundamental UI interaction. The only way to fix

I have a vague recollection that GitHub is optimized for whole repo cloning and they were asking projects not to do shallow fetching automatically, for performance reasons
137.

then why don’t they co-locate teams when they get RTO’d? I keep hearing about people who have to go sit in a mandatory hot desk but are still stuck on Zoom all day. Seems like the worst of both worlds

my rule of thumb is that the average startup has no more than one novel piece of code, and it is usually one of the first things written. Then after that there’s enough plumbing and UI work to keep a few hundred regular engineers busy

I would so much prefer an hour on a rural highway over an hour stuck in city traffic!

I don’t disagree! but among Americans who do not go to church, most of them have parents or grandparents or great-grandparents who attended Christian church regularly, and some of that culture is still prevalent in subtle things like “prote

and yet plenty of people have a commute _within_ the city that is longer than that

culturally-Christian atheists, mostly, followed by a lot of the less-mainline versions of Christianity
144.
by jes5199 2y ago
sure but a church building that hasn’t been used in years surely was already deconsecrated

the further north a person lives, the more likely they are to think the time change is helpful

MCP tends to be much simpler, less powerful than an API that you’d actually try to develop against. The LLMs need the most simplified access patterns possible
147.

wait, when did we get “dialog” and “popover” tags? these are wholly unfamiliar to me also I sort of expected this feature to interact with CSS somehow, you could implement a lot of behavior by just adding and removing styles

this does seem like it would skip a lot of the questions about whether it’s even possible to make a machine intelligence

if you still get a moore’s law halving every couple years, it becomes competitive in, uh, about thirteen years?

then why do I keep ending up having to support hand-rolled SqlAlchemy and FastAPI
