How would you go about reviewing a PR like this? AI is red herring in discussions like this. How the change was authored makes no difference here. I wouldn't. I'd reject it. I'd reject it even if the author had lovingly cra

I shared an office with a bunch of crypto enthusiasts in 2010 when I was running my first startup. They kept going on about Bitcoin and how I should get some because money would be obsolete in a few years. I thought they were silly (and I s

I'm not savvy on investment terms, but most of these bullet points seem like a loss for Microsoft. Having a customer locked in to buying $250bn of Azure services is a fairly big benefit.

OpenAI is now able to release open weight models that meet requisite capability criteria. GPT-OSS:20b is a great model for local use. OpenAI continuing to release open weights is good news.

Something that Claude Sonnet does when you use it to code is write scripts to test whether or not something is working. If it does that for Excel (e.g. some form of verification) it should be fine. Besides, using AI is an exercise in a &quo

It's widely known LLMs are terrible at even basic maths. Claude for Excel isn't doing maths. It's doing Excel. If the llm is bad at maths then teaching it to use a tool that's good at maths seems sensible.

I don't think any of the use cases suggested really make sense though. For a compute-intense task like audio or video processing, or for scientific computing where there's likely to be a requirement to fetch a ton of data, the bro

I imagine some manufacturers used tariffs as a reason to lower the price of their products that imported into the US while also raising the price outside of the US to balance that change, but that doesn't mean the manufacturer or their

No, but they will become 'web dev using AI' jobs. This is true for all engineering jobs. And eventually, all jobs.

If you need authority over someone to persuade them then your argument isn't compelling enough, either because your reasoning is flawed or you're not communicating it well enough. In the case in the article the author believed the

Meta appear 4 times in the top 10 with a total of about 2.25bn in fines. That sounds like a lot but it's only 1.6% of their revenue. As a cost of doing business that's probably acceptable to the Meta board. It'd cost them mor

In any high-churn job environment like customer support it's easier to assume people will leave rather than fire them. Most of the time you'll be right. That means there's no incentive to manage bad workers.

`let`s and `const`s incur a significant performance penalty. Is that still true? Early versions of V8 would do scope checks for things that weren't declared with var but it doesn't do that any more. I think const and let are l

My experience with coding agents leads me to believe using something like this will end up being more noise and work than ROI I think that depends on how far out your horizon is. If you're only looking one task out, or maybe a few we

I get it, but the alternative is what? Don't publish the videos unless you have a good reason to. There is no upside to just throwing everything you record on the internet. People don't watch the videos, your channel is degraded

Doesn't that require local hardware to trail a few years behind as well? I don't see consumer hardware being on the same level as a cluster of A100s for a very long time - mostly due to form factor. No one wants a laptop that&#x27

I run AI locally and it's a really useful tool, but I'm aware that it'll always be constrained to work on data embedded in the model, that I have locally, or that I can access via some sort of API integration. That makes it m
