I don't even know who those guys are. I am simply sharing my experience.

Sure there are such examples I guess.

As I said, your communication style is coming across as arrogant and disrespectful. Instead of asking for more clarification and giving a benefit of a doubt you chose to counterpoint with a trivial example, in which tbh I am hesitant to bel

Not only you don't have a depth of thinking critically, and understanding my point, but you're also unbelievably arrogant.

What are you trying to suggest? That people without the University degree who have been trained for monkey coding do exist? Sure but that's not what I was saying nor does it skew the picture in any significant way.

Why not? I have literally got several first hand examples where people are fired because of how good the AI models became. Why do you find that questionable?

Over-hiring could be one way of explaining the effect we are seeing, however, where are those "coding bootcamp" or "online courses" engineers? I honestly ask because I have never worked with one in almost 2 decades of be

No, it is not the same at all. I intentionally frame my words by saying that after all there may be an indication that such an event or correlation exists but I am explicitly not stating anything, therefore it is rather an invitation for di

It's a crappy article. I expected better than a click-bait.

Objective reality is that many people have lost and are still loosing their jobs. If you don't have anything useful to add to your response please refrain from polluting the discussion.

When writing code I also believed in the "beauty" and "elegance" because IMO it opens up all kinds of different opportunities that involve using or organically growing or improving that code. It turns out that if it does

In the last decade or so I have never seen so much layoffs across the industry. This may be suggesting that evidence supporting the latter hypothesis is not maybe too far fetched.

If I move out a bit of my circle, where people do all kinds of work, I'd say that there's generally a stigma on the "IT" workers. Moreover the stigma is there even within the IT company/industry itself, where sales,

So, by definition, driver of a tram is guilty for the accident the same way the driver would be if he had run into another vehicle. Tram hit the bus from behind.

Everything that the parent comment said I tend to agree, and I lived in Europe for a long time. One thing he left out, and which is also very important, is a high level of corruption. Your success is defined by a function who you know and n

And they obviously don't hire the right people. Reasons can be many-fold. One possible explanation is that there's not many talent left on the market, and most have been already picked up by other AI labs paying more $$$ while off

Why do you say so?
108.
by menaerus 5mo ago
You lay out some good arguments but I agree with both: the models relative to few years back really did become the commodity because today you could take the non-frontier model, maybe self-host it or pay the much less price per M tokens to

2-bit quantization? That's a lot of signal being removed. Considering how quickly the AI models are progressing in their capabilities (still exponential curve), I will not want to use the 2025 model in two years time. Similarly, how I

The rest of the comments, as of now, are unreasonably unsubstantiated and a little bit hostile. AFAICS it's a large effort combining some pretty damn cool ideas from database internals world - this must have been written by someone exp

I hope you don't interview people because what you laid out is full of false assumptions.

Do you know what is it that it allows for such a quick warm up? Small boiler? Saturated group? Maybe my comment is more relatable to HX machines then although I don't quite get how is it possible to warm up so quickly - the machine is

So much bs that I don't even want to go further into discussion, sorry. I say this as someone who has made several thousands of espressos on E61 group machine. I'll let you have your own opinion but anyone who has made more than a

The temperature drifting is by far the largest factor in reproducing the espresso shots not the water flow.

by menaerus 6mo ago
Do you know what's the difference between the two? Building an espresso machine isn't exactly a science.
116.
by menaerus 6mo ago
A good machine will always need time to heat up since the temperature stability, which is very important for getting good espresso shots, correlates with the weight of the device. For most machines this means 30-45 min or so no matter what

I don't think we are. We will not be able to keep the peace with code production velocity and I anticipate that focus will be moved strongly to testing and validation

So where's the proof of this exact problem and why exactly did it end up on the list of unsolved problems if it has been already solved?
119.
by menaerus 6mo ago
Yes, I understand that but what I'm saying is that the problem definition isn't completely clear to me. I'm not saying that there is none, it's just that it may not be obvious at the first read.

You don't seem to understand the idea that CPU spending time on TLB misses and at the same time seeing no measureable effects in E2E performance because much larger bottleneck is elsewhere can be both valid simultaneously. In database
