That's interesting. Obviously, energy cost creates a barrier to entry, so reduction of cost reduces the barrier to entry... which adds more players... which increases demand.

Yea - high dimensional spaces are weird and hard to reason about... and we're working very frequently in them, especially when dealing with ML.

The article opens with: > In Scrum, Product Owners have sole authority over the Product Backlog; they control what to build and when to build it. Engineers are merely ticket-takers, implementing one instruction after another. I think thi

^ This. Before seeing this here, I went down a rabbit hole on why-anyone-cares about the OSI model, especially as a descriptor for their golang project. It seems to be just a classification that one person found useful, and people treat lik

I would love if there was a Nielsen-rating equivalent for fake news outlets. Having worked in AdTech and Pulisher Analytics for about a decade, I know that orgs are measuring fake news viewability and content type + quality, so it'd

Doesn't this just raise the price of gpu's, and further encourage people to hoard them?

A service that measured "credibility" or "activity" of a username/email could be really useful here. At least, it would be a leading indicator that something _might_ be up. In particular the aside here about the ema

Agreed here - Stopping general access is going to not have any impact on well-funded criminals and bad-acting governments.

Here's a really cool article I read a while back on using computers and geometry to finish Gaudi's work: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gilfranco-Alves/publica... It's interesting using comput

Larger tech companies are likely betting on being able to replace a lot of coding jobs with ML. Additionally, I think it's likely that we're indeed even training AI to replace Engineers with code generation tools. That is, code-ge

Stories like this confirm my opinion about how much bad management there is out there.

Agreed here. Using a real name is a deal breaker for a lot of people, and as a result you lose their contributions, which hypothetically could be more informed.

Is it hard to teach "Intent", because the treatise here isn't well thought out? The article starts with building a straw person, Stanley (who is weirdly homophobic for some reason?), and doesn't really articulate "h

I know. This author is writing from a pretty weird place, especially if they're first categorizing fictional "Stanley" as backend Engineer.

Use Firefox if only to put up a decent fight against Chrome's massive play to control your data and the ad ecosystem.

I think "BIGRELEASE" is not accurate representation of how semver is used. I always understood it as something that introduces a non-backwards compatible change in the API. This is so that you can specify ranges of api versions th

Hm this is a good idea. Or similarly, be able to make a "meta file" that maybe contains every function that was used in a chain... Cool thought

I generally agree with the thesis here that "users and business are under-represented by people that are building and maintaining software", but the greater-than comparison over simplifies it, right? It's something like &quot

Agreed - I think SQL is great, but the JOIN operator has been problematic for me with analytic queries and queries where you want to enrich data across different tables. I think the problem is fundamentally that if you take a record, and sp

Glad this is getting press! Google was playing 3D chess when they started developing Chrome, and when they started making moves to strip away things like user agent strings, they were really just making the final moves of a campaign set yea

A few thoughts: - Operation of the gun can be used as training data for AI - Eventually we won't know when the gun becomes completely guided by AI
