This article is trying to make an excellent point (emphasized in the second half of the write-up), but the claim that "DID probably doesn't event exist" is untrue, and but I'm sure the author only meant as click-bait. DI

The highlight to me in this article is how pandemic loneliness + crypto frenzy has made this type of victim a lot more common today. You can't do anything about crypto over the short-term, but I hope the loneliness aspect of this gets

This is just a case of false equivalency. Smoking and car-usage are completely different phenomena and the one should not be used make judgements about the other. You're going to have to do more than that to convince me & others wh

Personally, I'm too confused to be even cynical about it. I don't know anything about Van Jones other than what I see on TV, but that by itself cannot explain why Bezos felt he deserved the "award".

Copilot, as far as I know, also does not seem to factor in the greater context of the application/code you're in when auto-completing these tasks. To me, this is a huge part of modern-day development. It's not only about prod

It seems strange to assume anything truly "philosophical" when the main topic of the book is something as practical as software engineering/design. Even if he did try to shoehorn a few bits of metaphysics in, most of the book

All I'm saying is that the charge of "antisemitism" is too heavy and the author's post didn't sound that way to me, but since I'm not Jewish, I'm not going to press this point this further at the risk of s

I read the blog post and while the author's tone was a little bit harsh, I really doubt it can be called anti-semitic. I guess that's why they re-assigned him and he wasn't fired. You probably don't want a "head of
