Their main value is in being cheap before they realize that they're underpaid and hop jobs. They tend to catch on quicker these days, making companies more reluctant to hire them. It has little to do with AI.

The cost of nuclear power is absurd . It's 5x the cost of solar and wind. If you use electricity to synthesize gas and then burn that later to generate electricity that is still cheaper than nuclear power. https://theecol

While we're at it I would actually prefer it if nuclear power paid for its own catastrophe insurance instead of lumping that burden on taxpayers. Currently their liability is capped at $300 million. Fukushima cleanup cost $800 billi

That's a lot of words to say a lot of FUD. I know people who work in the embedded space working on stuff similar to traffic lights and LISP isnt even on their radar. Rust is. LISP isnt. Every niche language has its fanboys who can en

Or theyre just picturing some CRUD app that needs to connect to a few APIs being made for a clueless exec who doesnt even understand their own business problem. To be fair, a lot of programming does end up being just that.

They're buying a defensible (or laudable) justification when the training company's fee appears as a line item in the company budget. This doesnt mean the training has to be good, useful or original in the slightest but the provid

Exactly. I think it's been a while since I've read an LLM hot take which couldnt have been written by an LLM and this one is no exception. There's a 99% chance that the training materials on sale are equally replaceable with

Not ok, but anybody who is ok with terrorizing, say, an Iranian civilian nuclear scientist ought to be equally indifferent to this.
