Yeah it's not there yet. It's definitely overhyped. The main reason is that it can't do any kind of complex task yet. The evidence is all of the examples that people showcase. If you are going to showcase the abilities of AI,

The role has absolutely been degraded. The SWE role has been distorted by the industry. The responsibilities have been eroded and all the potential specializations of it have been bundled together, including responsibilities that have nothi

I'm guessing it falls into some category of government agencies hiring contractors which probably happens all the time. If this is a problem then it follows that all the other instances of government hiring people who nobody voted for

Completely agree, these are good points. I'll add that current AI is overhyped precisely because it is not 100% reliable, especially with novel or cutting edge problems (where the most utility exists). This means that engineers using A

I think this is falling for the same illusion as generative art, since programming has a huge creative component. Useful code tends to solve unique problems, otherwise you can copy/paste or import a library, just as interesting art is

The problem is a lot more complex than meets the eye. As long as the structure of society is shaped like that of a tall pyramid, someone will always take the place at the apex. It is at the very least ingrained in human nature, if not in ma

It's not as good as the other stable diffusion based models, like Flux or SDXL, from only the first two attempts to be fair, but the quality was substantially lower. I'm still planning on trying to run this locally and test some m

What's often left out of the discussion is that even with DeepSeek R1 the costs of leveraging human levels of expertise is very costly at the moment. The evidence for this is obvious. All the examples for how the latest LLM is somehow

In short DeepSeek R1 has nearly identical performance on benchmarks (AI tests with questions to determine their capabilities) as OpenAI o1 model, AND it's open source (only the weights), AND it's more efficient to run (I think mor

I was hoping to get a 4090 after 50 series launch but looks like there are none at the moment. I hate crypto so much.

Wondering why not use Time instead. Also the use of "plain" in some of those methods, who is coming up with the names, they are verbose. That said it's probably going to be wrapped in some module anyway.

I agree, but there was no mention on how these platforms pay people if they have a lot of engagement. Initially it was more predatory, but now X, FB, YT, they pay those who are generating the content, and it's a viable small business,

No, it shouldn't be that hard to understand braces means a block. Why would 'begin'/'end' be easier? Just teach that { = begin, and } = end. Alternatively use a different language that is simpler but will trans

LLMs and transformers use a statistical approximation to generate information (whether it's text or images, etc). As a result it mostly limited to providing an average response... which in general is not that useful. When it comes to w

Yes, absolutely agree. Small companies look for the best only to over-engineer solutions, and large companies will look for the best only to have them do a very tiny slice of engineering (since they hired an army of engineers) and fill the

I think this is more a critique of the industry rather than frameworks. It's how companies like to constantly adopt industry "standards" instead of hiring engineers to create the specific domain framework. A lot of times this

I think this is a better approach than React. I've only look at it but I can see with a uniflow pattern for state keeping it might be the most scaleable solution for an interactive FE. Whether the wider industry would agree is a differ

tt feels llke this is just making a bunch of excuses for why fires are such a problem. The real question should be, is it impossible to have 100% safe controlled fires, or is it too costly? Can they not do smaller fires over weeks to make s

Well, I do agree but to an even further extent. Not only can we not become familiar with all the information, but experts also cannot do this. There is way too much information, and it updates way too quickly. There are of course exceptions

The people who put the thumbs on the scales are subject to the same bias and relative positioning of their beliefs. Whatever the issue is with the average person sorting through information will also affect the authorities and experts. Mayb

We should be educating people to think for themselves instead of advocating for centralized authorities who think for you.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a mod for this already. Personally I like the art style and direction, I just want more details and maybe even in 3D to rotate the camera. Hopefully they're working on the sequel with some of

Lol, it's funny I played both and like factorio much more for precisely those reasons. It's post-apocalyptic and gritty, and has enemies. Satisfactory is great but I need a threat to stay focused. To each their own :)

Good, but from the CO2 stats I've seen it seems they need to work harder and it will still take a few decades, so we'll have to deal with it anyway.

Climate change is not a variable in this scenario. Even if that's the actual cause it won't be changing anytime soon. The problem has to be dealt with anyway, and there are a lot of people saying it's due to lack of cleaning
