Here's the hope that the demand for software continues to increase as developer productivity rises, and that increases in developer productivity are partially captured in higher salaries.

It feels that way for a lot of privacy concerns. "Telemetry" is the scare word for debug log, core dumps, and stack traces. I think it’s completely reasonable to want those.

I don’t really agree with this. The vast majority of the time, if you encounter an error at runtime, there’s not much you can do about it, but log it and try again. From there, it becomes about bubbling the error up until you have the conte

Extremely unlikely. It’s ubiquitous internally.

So I have to give it out and have people donate it on my behalf?

So I make 1,000,000 separate donations in the amount of $0.01?

It's really gonna depend on the project. When my hobby project was greenfield, the AI was way better than I am. It was (still is) more knowledgable about the standards that govern the field and about low level interface details. It can

Why not both? Also detection?!? That’s crazy. Everybody should be doing this. The raison d’etre for these sorts of bans is their perceived negative health consequences. You almost certainly safer using whatever PED you can get your hands on

Having worked on a graphical application in rust for a (albeit not a complex one) computers today are fast.. latencies top out at 3 ms with cpu based rendering in an application with just a few rendering optimizations. The fact that you jus

I think your perspective on this matters a lot less than that of the researchers. Their perception is that what’s happening at Harvard and NSF is fascism. The perception is that we have a gestapo in ICE arresting mayors and judges, an admin

That's kinda cool. I bet you could take that to the next step and allow arbitrary code for validation of types/arguments at compile time.

Can we get an updated opinion in light of the facts being the exact reverse opposite of the initial hypothesis?

I've had great success by asking it to do project design first, compose the design into an artifact, and then asking it to consult the design artifact as it writes code.

I would think the biggest advantage is YouTube. There's a lot of modern content for analysis that's uncontaminated by LLMs.

I can see a world where there's a private alternative to the FDA going around and certifying that food is safe for consumption. I just know that the world before the FDA didn't have one, and the FDA works well enough that I'm

by jppittma 2y ago
What I hate about this argument is that the FDA does not predate civilization. In fact, it's a relatively recent development. Not only has this idea been tried, but throughout most of human history, people lived in the world you descri

Why not destroy the foundries, move all the TSMC employees to the US, rebuild them here (there is no surer investment), and let China have the land?

> Yes of course, why wouldnt I? Trying to understand that opinion and maybe bring us closer to agreeing on the underlying issues would be my first aim, I think the promotion of liberalism and the lack of critical thinking has created a s

I hate how the word "disagree" is used to strip all nuance out of political conversation. If I said it was my political opinion that the gestapo should show up to your door, and drag you, your wife, and children to a death camp -

If it’s a tool you use every day, it’s worth understanding on a deeper level. I’ve used the shell probably every day in my professional career, and knowing how to script has saved me and my team countless hours of tedious effort with super

I've just been using them for completion. I start writing, and give it a snippet + "finish refactoring this so that xyz." That and unit tests. I write the first table based test case, then give it the source and the test code

I think what I’m missing is why all of this is necessary in a world without dynamic linking. We’re talking about purely build time dependencies, who cares about those matching across static binaries? If it’s this much of a headache, I’d rat

I don't believe AGI at that level has any commercial value.

What are the chances that the CIA has a manhattan project style quantum computer somewhere? I can’t believe that if the current SOTA could break commonly used encryption methods that it would be widely known.

Well, we're probably a F10 company and my project had to move off of our vmware environment because prices were too high. Even at enormous companies, these things matter, and there's still accounting for resources at the local lev
