Absolutely agree, for the most part. Luckily I think the tide is going out and developers are going to be forced to start actually solving problems in their domain out of necessity. No more easy money = no more engineering for engineering’s

This is a fascinating idea, imagine a company spins up a super complex stack using llms that works, becomes vital. It breaks occasionally, they use a combination of llms, hope and prayer to keep the now vital system up and running. The syst

They should have created a systems language to replace objective C and an easy language like Python or JavaScript for app dev, instead they created a language that tries to do everything and the result is a mess. For example SwiftUI, UIkit,

It’s horrible but also kind of so good. The bugs are absolutely horrendous, swift is an abomination, the menus are completely impossible to figure out, the builds are wacky. But I’ll be damned, SwiftUI and the build and deploy process for i

That stuck out to me as well, physical fitness is super important for so many reasons, one being it is one of the best tools to help improve your mental health. I think part of really growing up is first recognizing how little you know, hum

To me it’s a problem of if a piece of information is not well represented in the training data the llm will always tend towards bad token predictions for related to said information. I think the next big thing in LLM’s could be figuring out

Yeah today we do … what if engineered systems were more like humans, where we trade consistency for more interesting capabilities. Not to say there won’t still be traditional engineering for stable behavior systems, but these tools do have

Right now you have this awesome new dynamic capability that doesn’t mesh with how we are used to building software; well defined, constrained, correct. Software products are close ended. Imagine if they weren’t. Imagine if you were playing

I was diagnosed as a kid, I never really took the meds consistently. My perspective now is that adhd people are a minority tribe, very chill people living in an unchill world. I feel blessed that I have the ability to function and find my p

It’ll come. Can’t say in what form, but the reckoning will come. Probably anti trust, or anti tech regulations as the public hatred of the tooligarchs grows. The problem with being out of touch is you can’t see the ground shifting beneath y

Also not one to nod along with Tucker Carlson but he hit a really prescient note in that speech ~,”how can we expect young people to be invested in the country if they have no stake in it?” Which just totally strikes a chord with me as some

Haha, I could imagine. The logic games in the LSAT aren’t particularly “hard” as much as they’re just uncommon. You’re kind of just applying procedural rules, like a human calculator. I suppose if you enjoy it as an activity, the LSAT logic

Mixed on this — I personally struggled with logic games, being dyslexic, the diagrams would easily get mixed up. On the other hand, an extra logical reasoning section could really beat the crap out of you mentally. Wonder what people who ha

Nobody remembers when the Masked Beast arrived. Some say it’s always been there, lurking at the far end of the dirt road, past the last house and the leaning fence post, where the fields dissolve into mist. A thing without shape, too large

To get to the gist; you shouldn’t need to show pornhub your ID to verify your age. You should be able to verify your age with an identity provider that issues you a signed token for example. The signed material does not contain any identifi

This article has the tell-tale signs of AI slop. It’s perfectly fine to use AI to write, but if you don’t know how to write well (which you learn by writing a lot and getting feedback), then you are just going to produce slop. And no I’m no

The words-to-thoughts ratio is way too high, it reads like a elementary school book report, it’s way too long for how dry it is, I could go on but these are just some of my initial thoughts while reading the article. Also, knowing it is mos

I love the idea of faith based technology, where it just works but nobody is capable of comprehending why or how.

No, payday loans are factoring but for individuals. Haha, but yes pretty much that’s a very apt comparison

I never got into the weeds as I didn’t end up taking the job, but ill explain a bit: The factoring company buys a company’s invoices at some discount, say $.90 cents on the dollar. Companies that need factoring are usually small businesses

Once, when I was fresh out of college, I worked at a mortgage company, a really rotten place. All day I looked at loans, applied some rules, issued a thumbs up or thumbs down. Some couple in Honululu Hawaii with x income trying to get an n

I use presigned urls as part of a federation layer on top of an s3 bucket. Users make authenticated requests to my api which checks their permissions (if they have access to read/write to the specified slice of the s3 bucket), my api s

I think this might be part of the reason Apple is “behind” on generative AI … LLMs have not really proven to be useful outside of relatively niche areas such as coding assistants, legal boiler plate and research, and maybe some data science
