I’m sorry, but the whataboutism argument being made about online data trackers and brokers being “the real bad guys” totally misses the point that insurers are extremely thirsty for data like this, which is a very different buyer than, say,

This is ultimately scaremongering. First off, safety was supposed to be addressed by government funds which it sounds like only recently were approved; there’s nothing fundamentally unsafe about rail when you actually build it properly. But

My point stands. Who needs to cross oceans so regularly and so fast?

The puritanical elites in America have been ruining everyone’s fun for decades. So tired of their double standards and overreach.

Just give us high speed rail. Who does supersonic travel actually serve?

I would love to see if there’s a pattern before making any hypotheses, but my go-to assumption is just run of the mill conflict of interest bias.

Seismic events for venture investment tend to be seismic events for the economy, and thus for society, whether or not the investments pay off as expected.

How dare people walk around showing their age. Disgusting!

It’s possible to do both. Attitudes like yours are manufactured by the ones to blame. Don’t shoot the messengers.

Yeah I’m not saying either aren’t useful, just that they can both be a trap for tinkerers.

No real mention of results that aren’t self-referential. I guess vibe-coding is on its way to becoming the next 3D printing: Expensive hobby best suited for endless tinkering. What’s today’s vibe coding equivalent of a “benchy”? Todo apps?

Nice! What’s the new mapper you’re using? Is it available as an IC or does it use FPGA or something?

> In both cases they imply training models is happening when that's not been confirmed. It is safest to assume that your photos are being used for training.

Training runs basically 24/7 at full throttle. Inference isn’t the main source of energy consumption.

I meant what is the _author’s specific_ application.

Good docs don’t fix bad apps or APIs though. I get the sense that demand for docs is a signal that there’s a deeper problem with DX. Good docs generally only exist in places where they’ve given the rest of the DX enough love in the first pl

Interesting tech but there’s zero explanation of the actual application, so it’s all a little abstract.

Are arms dealers immune from responsibility, in your view?
142.
by namuol 1y ago
Disagree. Poor engineers will go in circles with AI because they will under specify their tasks and fail to recognize improper solutions. Ultimately if you’re not thoughtful about your problem and critical about the solution you will fail.
143.
by namuol 1y ago
Hard disagree. It’s not super important to be AI-pilled. You just need to be a good communicator. The tooling is a moving target, but so long as you can explain what you need well and can identify confusion or hallucination, you’ll be effec

Performance is a feature, I agree. Language choice matters to a degree. Shitty apps can still be written in “fast” languages.

Beware the greenfield effect. I don’t want to comment on the technology choices specifically here, but in general the whole “we rewrote our app in X and now it’s better” is essentially a fact of life no matter the tech choices, at least for

Good point - to be honest I didn’t realize the difference which is very significant from a treatment perspective.

I know of at least one YouTuber who took a homemade treatment that alerted his GI system DNA to produce lactase so he could eat pizza again: https://youtu.be/J3FcbFqSoQY

Yeah I agree, I enjoy the process. I don’t think that’s what’s behind “everyone should learn rust” in this case, and many cases. It feels like a “cause”.
