Depends on what they're shipping. We're doing this with UI work, as long as your backend is secure I don't see what the issue is personally. Generally engineers are not well placed to be building UIs.

Maybe not revenue gains, but it's cost saving for sure. You don't really need many customer service workers anymore for example.

Top 5% imo. There's a large bottom 50-60% these days who are overseas talent and boot camp graduates who are competing.

This would only work if you have a solid devops team imo. AWS makes it extremely easy to deploy and scale infra. Another advantage of AWS is permission management, automatic RDS snapshots, cloudwatch comes out of the box... You can do every

Maybe I should have been more precise – I'm trying to learn how to physically manifest things in head. Woodwork is part of that, but I'm just generally manufacturing skills from CAD design, electronics & PCB design, metal work

I recently wrote more or less this exact comment on another platform recently (although I've been making music for a while). I was told that I should make music for myself, but I guess I don't really understand that perspective? I

> That isn’t even phrased as a “what if” — it’s asserting that Sandy Hook was staged. It’s framed as a truth, not a possibility, and the jury found that Alex Jones knew it wasn’t true when he was saying it. I think the deliberate malicio

Please can someone correct my opinion on this because I'm sure I'm missing something. I find it crazy that in the US you can't take an opinion on something without risking being bankrupted because that thing you said is later

Yes, probably... For a few years now I've been telling people to assume if they're in a tech job it will be their last. That's not to say there will be no tech jobs, but they will be very hard to get and less well paid making

Building a tech business is very hard these days if you're doing it as a technical founder. Almost everything with clear use has been built. You can make slight improvements to existing products here and there but you'll struggle

I've been concerned about AI safety for about two decades now. Given my age I genuinely think the most likely way I will die will be from AI either directly or indirectly as a result of it being created. I had a nightmare last night wh

I agree. My partner works in schools and recently she was talking about how they now run these classes in schools telling the kids not to send nude pictures to each other because it will ruin their careers and if they get out people will bu

GPT-5.4 Pro is very good, at the very least comparable with Opus 4.6. Some people on my team have switched to Codex in the last month citing that it's currently slightly better. If you have a good workflow with CC I wouldn't switc

Sorry to hear this. It's hard one day feeling like you're valued member of a team, then the next day finding out you're actually seen as completely dispensable. Best of luck with the job hunt.

Understand that it's not the model but the algorithm that's valuable? I wouldn't have the scale or compute to leverage a model capable of continuous learning, but there will be a company or two that will give me a few billion

Arguably this aligns with their decision to discontinue Sora. If we assume they are trying to rapidly free up compute then the UK is a pretty stupid place to be building out new datacenters... Any project here overruns both in time and budg

I would acknowledge that. I don't think these things are remotely possible any time soon with current rates of progress. However, I think people tend to fail to acknowledge the product of exponential trends, so the question in my mind

Controversially I'd argue that there is likely an optimal and stable level of technological advancement which we would be wise to not to cross. That said, we are human so we will, I'd just rather it happened in a couple hundred ye

What sources would you even be looking for? I think you're asking the wrong question. It's not like I'm arguing a scientific theory which can be backed by data and experimentation. I can only provide you reasoning for why I b

I assure you it will soon become very clear that mass job losses are one of the least concerning side effects of developing the magic "everything that can plausibly been done within the constraints of physics is now possible" mach
