You'll see plenty of the "no true Scotsman" arguments too. Seen it with OOP, "agile", and now LLMs.

A key distinction between OOP and Functional that I'm surprised is left out here is the way they handle state. The author talks about functional languages being good for parallel processing and distributed systems, but a big part of th

I wonder if they're trying to setup a precedent to start deploying the military in force on US soil to fight "narco-terrorists"... "We'll we can't kill them all in the boats, so obviously we need military strik

Even if you eliminate all of OpenAIs other costs besides inference they're still in the red. And they can't just stop training new models. That's like saying Honda can just quit designing new cars. They technically could, but

I'd love to see the financial data on that.

OpenAI is claiming they'll post 74 billion in loses through 2028. Anthropic is on course to lose 3 billion by the end of this year, they lost 5 billion last year. As far as I can tell the inference provider landscape is a fucking mess,

That might be a problem in the frontend/JavaScript world, but I think people forget the industry is a lot bigger than web dev. I've managed to go my whole career without ever having to write a single line of JavaScript. But to be

I think it's gonna be a lot worse with LLMs. Mainly because they're substantially under charging, I don't think the cost of operating is going to drop much, and the workflows are only going to get more token hungry. The incen

I get your point, but I don't think the pricing is long term viable. We're in the burn everything to the ground to earn market share phase. Once things start to stabilize and there is no more user growth, they'll start puttin

The core of the entire argument is that the $150/hour is based on a developers ability to physically write code, which is not true. Having something that can generate code reliabily (which these things can barely do even with an expert

There's also going to be a large lag. A lot of the protections are baked in and won't just disappear overnight, but as the system degrades it will get worse and worse. Decisions made today might not cause immediately visible damag

Given there is apparently a large emphasis on the performance of these individual "portfolio" managers, and speed of delivery is made to be such a big deal, this is definitely going to get out own people killed.

I'm just trying to figure out what the last paragraph of your previous comment means. So asked bluntly, what did you mean? Edit: Ah, I see what you mean. My bad. I thought you meant "normalizing" the trans issue in general, n

by scuff3d 11mo ago
I did. I don't have my pronouns in my email or my bio at work. Nobody gives a shit. For the record, it's not because I have any particular issue with trans people. If they want to put that info in their bio, or other people do, th

I've been working for 20 years, I've watched the landscape transform around me. Those were jokes/comments made to me in the workplace back when it was more acceptable. Those same people went on to complain they couldn't

I didn't say anything about Adria Richards. I don't even know who that is. What the fuck are people saying that could be construed as racist? Literally in 20+ years I have never seen this or felt this way.

For someone upset about having to worry about offending people in the workplace, you sure get offended easily. I was primarily being hyperbolic. My main point is that generally people who are upset are upset that they can no longer say or d

But then you have to use VSCode, and that's never a good thing.

> Like not playing with the fantasies and embracing reality is a violation. What does this even mean? Can you give me one specific concrete example of what you want to say in the workplace that you think will end up in a conversation wit

Of course it exists. Anytime you give people power someone is going to abuse it. That's never going to go away. And the people who are going to abuse that power will do it regardless. I and people I know have directly observed racism&#

Still nothing. Lol I'm happy to give people the benefit of the doubt. But this specific topic I don't think I've ever seen someone actually provide a real answer.

You're specific statement was that companies were listing job postings saying white men weren't welcome. I don't see any evidence of that. I'm going to try very very hard to ignore the fact it was James O'Keefe that

Yeah that's unfortunate. Hopefully they'll find the right balance. Well intentioned missteps are better then maliciousness I suppose.

I mean in this case I think it's fairly useful. I'm the exact demographic supposedly impacted by this. I've work for corporations for 20+ years, and watched the culture shift around me. I have friends and colleagues in severa

Yeah that's pure idiocy. That's so bad it almost feels like someone trying to out trans people under the guise of DEI.

These policies aren't about perfectly equal representation. It's about equal opportunity. That women you want to do the job get equal opportunities to men.
