Nope, some superficially similar technical things are founded on very different concepts from other technical things. For example, grokking a functional language requires a whole different mental model than for an imperative language. Also,

I consider myself a reasonably competent senior engineer, and yet with regex this is what I have noticed: Every time I need to write even the simplest regex, I can't seem to get it right the first time. I always need to struggle with i

Then calculators are AGI. A program that does fizz-buzz is AGI. Way to make AGI a meaningless term. What LLMs do now is so far from AGI that I don't know how people make any connection between it and AGI. This is what AGI means (or sho

Pretty much all your claims are false, in my experience: - LLMs do not have grad student-level competency in anything; they often make elementary mistakes in very basic reasoning. - Image generators produce spooky pictures with garbled text

I guess the US got it's mineral deal now, so the justification for continuing to provide more aid to Ukraine has been obtained. The US, especially with Trump at the helm, will not put any more real pressure on Russia. Best they will do

The context is even more broad than this. Beyond satiety, you also have to consider the role food is playing in the person's life. Is the person hooked on Dopamine, with food a (the?) main source of it? Can they introduce other enjoyab

The color detail of these pictures is so detailed and beautiful. Were they really hand colored? The color absolutely looks like something that would be computer generated. If they were indeed hand colored (when?), that would be an absolutel

Nice, but where is automatic ellipsis for multi-line text? Do the people spending time on these effort really talk to devs to determine what they find most critically missing and/or annoying about HTML?

Oh, I am aware of the problems with this scheme for names. I just used it as a simple example. I wouldn't design my users table this way. If I can, I even avoid storing actual names of users at all. If I have to, I use a simple free fo

But if you have data to migrate, it is not always possible to infer the diff, no? Say I have a users table with a name column. Then I alter the table and split the name column into two new columns: first name and last name. How is it possib

To me the only solution is that we need a security in depth approach: - Create a trusted packages program, and mark trusted packages with a prominent badge. Package authors can apply to join the program, which will involve a review of their

Why don't you put the blame where it belongs, and tell Putin to go back to his country? Per Occam's razor that should be the simplest solution, no? Otherwise, should Europe keep giving up territory whenever the Russians roll in?

Oh, so you are in agreement that genuine Russia officials, who decided to start this murderous war, are not supposed to be hurt, right? Only the "corrupt" ones?

But I don't understand your point. Since Russia started the war, how does it depend on Zelensky "to end this madness"? You'd prefer the Ukrainians roll over and get massacred and genocided? Is black white, and white blac

Indeed, Trump's playbook is quite simple, not sure why politicians the world over have not caught on: 1. He says or threatens something outrageous; People get all riled up, take a position of defiant vulnerability. 2. He softens his st

I have gone through Hickson's proposal, interesting. I notice though that he is proposing to address the problem from the opposite direction to mine, though I think his approach is also viable. I dream of an HTML-like platform built to

I see you are skeptical, but the failure of those technologies does not mean a new HTML-like platform cannot succeed. We've learned a lot about security, DX, and UX since those times. A new platform can apply all those.
