I don’t think there will be an “AI native” generation of developers. AI will be the entity that “groks pointers” and no one else will know it or care what goes on under the hood.

I'm developing a game in Godot using C# and my experience with it is very good. I guess it depends on how deeply you integrate with Godot. I try as far as its possible to write my game headless. My opinion may change when I have gotten

Both the vision and cognition hardware in humans are vastly superior, and don't get me started on the software. I never understood why they would choose to fight with "one hand behind your back". More sensors = more better

Why? If the human has final say on which play to make I can certainly see them thinking they are proposing a better strategy when they are actually hurting their chances.

> It doesn't matter what you make or how you make it. What matters is why you make it and what you have to say. I want to add one point: That you make/ ship something at all. When the first image generating models came out my h

What makes you think that the UK would fare like Switzerland and not like Norway, who also tried staying neutral? What makes you think a Europe with, for example, Nazi Germany as hegemon would be safer for the UK, or that the UK would have

Many interesting points. I of course know nothing, but I don't see the strategic importance of Sevastopol. If you're Russia controlling Sevastopol, yes it doesn't freeze but where are you going to go? In peace time it doesn&#

Please make the case that the UK should have (and could have) stayed neutral during WWs 1 & 2 and gained from it.

MatLab was taught and used extensively at my university, and has many strong sides and a fantastic standard library. We used it mainly for physics and robotics calculations. The licenses are (were?) prohibitively expensive outside of academ

Wife has a 16 pro, I’m on a 13 mini. Other than her phone being way too big I don’t notice any difference. And why should I? Reading text on the web, calling, sms’ing, listening to music or using navigation does not require “next gen” hardw

I would love to hear more about your definition of corruption and why it is inevitable. From what I can tell it is that an organization with “morals”, meaning some sort of code restricting their possible actions, will be out competed by an

Would be really cool to graph out causes of death over the centuries! Wikipedia cites continous publication from 1527 to 1858[1]. Collecting the data seems daunting, though. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bills_of_mo

Why not take it further and not update dependencies at all until you need to because of some missing feature or systems compatibility you need? If it works it works.

Agreed, children were the original pension scheme and might well become one again! Jokes aside I agree with you on strengthening bonds with local community, and it's something that many people neglect, not even knowing their neighbors.

I think we are on the same page actually - I'm not dismissing the notion that we might engineer ourselves out of a declining work force. But then the question is, if human labor (me, you, us) is -gradually- becoming unwanted, then how

A good and thought provoking read. This is obviously navel-gazing, but looking at this from an individual or family perspective, I'm wondering about how you could prosper in a depopulating, aging, and warming world. Traditional investm

IIRC the ancient Greeks did not view themselves as the "pinnacle of civilisation", but somewhat fallen from a time of heroes or a golden age in the past. This golden age is when many of their well known epics take place. Another p

Maybe - though I associate being "on-call" with being expected to respond outside of normal business hours which was not the case in the teams I worked in.

Sort of. I've worked with having a rota where engineers would spend a week handling support and bug reports which avoids many of the pitfalls with the entirely separate "two crews". I wrote a bit more about it in https:&#x2F

The book mentions having a rota: > Engineers rotate between the crews on a regular basis. The Microsoft blog post referenced above recommends swapping some team members between the two crews every week. In my experience this works well.
