I did, partly out of curiosity, partly because I'm in a progressive town literally surrounded for a hundred miles by a sea of red. They like Trump because he appears anti-establishment and they fear/dislike the establishment. The

How can that replace search? It's not full of ads and sponsored links. They need to get with the times.

Stanislaw Lem's "Solaris." Really got me into a lifetime of thinking about what comprises life and our relationship, as humans, to other life forms. Has informed my personal philosophy ever since.

Interesting. You have turned this around to be about me instead of the ideas. You must be good at arguing on the internet. I'm not.

I'd go even further than "hold no value" and say it's actively detrimental on both the individual and society. We already have an avalanche of dehumanizing technology that isolates and placates us. We see the results o

More software is not better. Software is a burden that must be maintained to keep its value. Having more software, written by people who don't know how to write software, will not be creating value. It will be creating an ongoing ma

I take your point - admit it's a leaky abstraction.

I still liked riding the bus, all the way through college. I live in a small town now, no need to ride the bus, a bike does fine, but I miss it sometimes.

Way back in the SimEarth days I got introduced to the Gaia concept, which at the time seemed a little hokey, but as time goes on seems more and more apt. Not trying to sound like Agent Smith, but sure seems like the earth is treating human

That almost sounds like a science fiction scenario. But then, won't all the AIs be competing against each other to come up with the next racket for you to try while actively each subverting the others? Your example is something tangi

I thought your reply was reasoned, good advice, and also taught me a new word - bloviating. And I'm an English major!

Curious, to you maintain the code yourself, or is an LLM required to maintain the code as well?

"I can now write clojure code without ever touching anything lisp-y before" I have trouble with doing that myself. When I personally don't understand the code completely I worry I'm about to step in it. Maybe it's

Yeah, I'll second this. Our company has an aggressive push to use LLMs for development, and it has quite certainly been the the source of a lot of obscure problems that made it into production. Definitely going a bit too fast for the

Honestly, the first article I've seen where the actual usage is explained clearly and matches my own experience. Maybe because I tend to write software the same way. The thing I've heard the most from other developers, particular

This is a highly relevant and accurate point. Let me explain how this happens in real life instead of breathless C-type hucksterism: We have a project working on very large code-base in .NET Web Forms (and other old tech) that needs be upd

I can educated guess the subtext on this from seeing it so many, many times: software is being deprecated and/or going into maintenance mode, or isn't good ROI, so bean-counters trying to save money by finding sub-minimum wage la

Huh, so, not only clueless at security, but also clueless at customer relations. Also, their commercials are stupid, so clueless at marketing. I find it funny that their name, CrowdStrike, sounds like an anti-personnel reaper drone. Now m

I have 6 weeks of vacation which I never take more than 2 at a time at my employer's request because when I'm gone it's less than optimal. They are acutely aware of this. For the last 6 or 7 years we've had good metric

I'm late 50's, 35+ years professionally programming, mostly business software and ecommerce. I entertain at least one serious offer a month and numerous inquiries a week, none of which I intend to take but instead use as leverage

On Altman: "It’s increasingly clear that the board fired him for the reasons they gave at the time: he is not honest or trustworthy, and that’s not an acceptable trait for a CEO!" My experience, with one personal exception, is tha

Oh goodness, this is just the kind of behavior that shows how incapable OpenAI and Altman himself are of conducting their business in a responsible manner. Just the thing you don't want to see in the field of AI. Up next, SJ AI gen
