How’s it an ill fit? Outside of large monorepo things, which are not the majority of modern commercial software projects, the main complaint I hear is the learning curve. But LLMs should be addressing that fairly well.

MRIs are so much cooler than that. https://www.radcommons.org/residents/files/physics/MRI_Made_... is a good read.

Ever thought about wrapping your AirPods to be skin-colored? I wonder if that would be more inviting for strangers than the stereotypical white color.

This seems clearly not very true; Iran didn’t seem very at the mercy of the US this year. There is a ton of resistance to actually using nuclear weapons, seemingly making them practically irrelevant.

This would be great if it wasn't written so breathlessly.

Without looking, I’m guessing one of these was cherry-picked from Amis and one was plucked nearly at random from LinkedIn. The writing style AI uses has its place, but not as _every sentence_. That’s what is exasperating. At the same time,

> The house gets repossessed or sold for taxes Sold to whom? Isn’t the argument that no one will have money? There are approximately as many houses in the US as there are households. We are not going to see all the houses empty and all t

If I’m one of the six people who ends up with all the money and controlling all the robots, why do I want your 3 bed 2 bath house in Tennessee? Trying to take it from you will only make you riot. It’s not exactly a bright outlook, but I do

At least it probably means they haven’t been replaced with LLMs…

Random dudes in those days couldn’t either. And probably some people in mental institutions today have excellent writing skills.

Mine makes us take the "least cost logical" option, but it only looks at flights that match your current search (airport, day, time window). So if you have a specific flight you want, it's usually trivial to concoct a search

DC tours are probably a nightmare to do in a PCI-compliant (and the myriad other standards they claim compliance with) environment.

I would have assumed hiring / screening resumes is a relatively small fraction of what an HR department does?

WSL is 90% of a good product. They just quit improving it too early. Managing file permissions between Windows and WSL is a nightmare, it does horrific things to your filesystem if it ever runs out of memory, at least once every day a teamm

As a lifelong conservative and capitalist, even I think this might be the thing that makes some form of socialism possible.

I often use LLMs to write or review code, but never ever copy/paste from them into any text box attached to my name. If my name is posting something, I understand it. If I can read an LLM response and reword it, I understand it. I real

Curious about the T case - is Intel doing some kind of binning and trying to select the processors most likely to fail under high thermal load to assign that suffix to? And thus the T procs are priced lower?

Thinking about agents as remote junior devs who _might_ be North Korean operatives has been the right model for me.

Fully loaded costs for an average employee at a bigco are scary. Not $200 but significantly higher than the number on your W2 by the time the company pays vacation, benefits, unemployment insurance, etc.

And your comment was calling it crap for some reason. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if you’d left that apparently superfluous word out of your comment.

Curious if you can share any backing information from your last statement? As a senior engineer (well, that's my job title anyway), I find it encouraging.

Numbers I see put Pixel at less than 5% of iPhone sales. Not nothing, but world-changing? I doubt the world would look significantly different had Google not done Pixel.

Oh sure, if I found an SO I'd move out. No question. Nothing on the horizon and I've never even met anyone I would be seriously interested in, but that can change quickly. But as you say, that's orthogonal to the rent/bu

I want to buy a house, but I do not want to end up crazy underwater on a house. If I thought values would be at-least-stable I probably would buy. Everything just seems so bubbly that it feels like a trap.

Well, at least if you're nuked, you might be able to redevelop that land before the nimby's emerge from their shelters.
