Because they are engineers? The difference between an engineer and a hobbyist is an engineer has to optimize the cost. As they say: any idiot can build a bridge that stands, only an engineer can build a bridge that barely stands.

On top of my mind: responses have feedback buttons below them. You can simply deploy different versions and compare the neutral + positive / negative feeback ratio. It would be sinful if they did not add other metrics like how many tim

Or maybe they are just AB testing and aggressively optimizing the response generation? LLMs are known to be compute/energy hungry to execute. It is a developing technology, if not downright experimental. Therefore, this explanation is

I think law and sofware are very similar in this. Basically read the parent post, except replace words of tech with law and court process ones. As you increase the number and the precision of laws, you inevitably increase false positives. F

Consider all 4 dimensions of the battlefield. You cannot be aware of every direction, at all times. Especially in cities, which has 3 spatial dimensions of potential hostile infantry positions. Therefore sheer numbers do matter. Especially

Things break all the time, so errors will happen. If you look at life as good & evil, you won't solve any conflicts. You should rather focus on "incentives". Correcting bugs and errors take time and other resources, there

First, let me lay my credentials bare, so you would see where I'm coming from. As I like so say: "I am merely 30 cloudy days away from white, and just one good tan away from 'person of color'." Therefore, I have the

Yeah, but it is somewhat like saying as your revenue scales, so does your expenses. And it indeed does. But it is a net win at the end of the day, for 10% of a billion is much better than 10% of a million. With space debris, come debris cle

It might be an apt comparison though. I much rather have reusable rockets than having ISS. I much rather have in-orbit construction infrastructure than having either hubble or JWST. I much rather have remote repair and maintenance satellite

Ditto! As we approach the launch date, the feeling in my stomach when I read about Webb is getting worse. JWST is going to revolutionize our understanding of cosmos, but only because it's target spectrum, which requires operating tempe

by lazysheepherd 5y ago
Exactly. It is so sad to see many great engineers working on decade-long projects with 300-something single failure points. That time and money should instead be spent on reducing the cost per kg to orbit, as well as in-orbit manufacturing.

Sorry, it has nothing to do with etymology. It is a remote and obscure use case which may or may not be offensive to some group or other. I do not care. I'm here to read about some tech company changing their revenue model, and what te

I suspect the reason is the fact that not all developers live in the bay area, and $60 is a good money for them, and could worth more than 2 days. Also if you code for fun anyways, you might as well build what you need, and get chance to us

This makes me suspect it might be like instrument playing. A lot easier to learn while young. I'm 29 right now and I've started practicing around 23-24. A bit too late for this kind of muscle memory I guess. Thank you for sharing,

I've been practicing touch typing for over 5 years now. I seem to be capped at around ~65 WPM. I sometimes wonder if it will stay there, or will it improve. I take this to test my speed: https://10fastfingers.com/advan

Just a trivia perhaps, but WPM is _exactly_ 5 times faster than CPM. "the definition of each "word" is often standardized to be five characters or keystrokes long in English" [1] 1: https://en.wikipedia.org&#
