Companies over a certain size (say more than 25+ employees), are universally bad at: - measuring productivity - adapting to change This article just reinforces that. Past a certain headcount, executives have little to no understanding of wh

Agree you don't have to overcomplicate it. Magnus is a generational talent.

I don't think the OP gave enough information for us to really have any honest conversation about this one way or the other. That said: I suspect that OP is providing low-detail prompts. These tools cannot read your mind. If you provide

Yeah not sure where the 600k figure is coming from. But that 130k that's being reported is almost certainly not correct, and will be revised down. The ADP is only reporting 22k for January. Which lines up very closely with the monthly

I'd argue that "good", or at least "good enough", is when they reach a point where it becomes preferable to spend your time prompting rather than reading and writing code. That the final output meets the feature spe

AI's can self-critique via mechanisms like chain of thought or user specified guard rails like a hook that requires the test suite to pass before a task can be considered complete/ready for human review. These can and do result in

Time wasting would be not reading the comment I replied to, and then thinking I was replying to Simon/the article. Does that sound familiar?

I don't think I'm missing the point and respectfully, I think your reply is completely unrelated to anything that I said. Whether you are "better off or not" is a separate topic, and I never suggested one way or the othe

I (and lots of people) used to think the models would run out of training data and it would halt progress. They did run out of human-authored training data (depending on who you ask), in 2024/2025. And they still improve.

We've gone from "it's glorified auto-complete" to "the quality of working, end-to-end features, is average", in just ~2 years. I think it goes without saying that they will be writing "good code" in s

Yeah I don't think this get's enough attention. It still requires a technical person to use these things effectively. Building coherent systems that solve a business problem is an iterative process. I have a hard time seeing how a

A bit of an off-topic observation: Banks might not have focused on the hard sci-fi aspects but I have a difficult time imagining a more likely future for humanity than something like the culture civilization.

It seems like every argument in favor of doing this is: "yeah sure but what if X was Y% cheaper?" And some of us are reading these things and trying to be polite. But at some point patience runs thin and the only response that bre

An 8 GPU B200 cluster goes for about $500k right now. You'd need to put thousands of those into space to mimic a ground-based data center. And the launch costs are best case around 10x the cost of the cluster itself. Letting them burn

Neural nets have been better at classifying handwriting (MNIST) than the best humans for a long time. This is what the author means by judgement. They are super-human in their ability to classify.

I think that's also true of people but we are kinder to each other and ourselves when judgement is bad. How many times have you been in a conversation where you asked the wrong question or stated the wrong thing because you either were
