Today I searched something and almost pasted the output into an internet forum discussion I was having. But I decided to check the wikipedia source just to make sure. The AI summary was not quoted directly from wikipedia, and it got some ma

Does good design up front matter as much if an AI can refactor in a few hours something that would take a good developer a month? Refactoring is one of those tasks that's tedious, and too non-trivial for automation, but seems perfect f

My guess is humans will still be necessary for financial, life-or-death, and mission-critical software. But what % of developer jobs work on those systems? 5%?

If the AI can just refactor the whole app whenever it wants w/o taking a person-month of effort, and you have rock-solid tests for everything, maybe human code comprehension isn't necessary? Yes I am aware this means my job is gon

It feels like that at first, especially as I get older. But I still think it comes back to me a lot quicker if I once understood it than if I was learning it from scratch. Possibly just because I know how I think.

And a whole lot of fail ever since.

And one side started it by killing 1,200 civilians and kidnapping 250. Which doesn't justify genocide. But it does factor into the response when one side is governed by a death cult that has no problem letting scores of their own civil

Yes, but when you call it "pillaging" it sounds much more romantic.

I was in the living room and didn't follow it into the bedroom. It didn't sound like it ever turned on the vacuum. It has a mapping mode (I assume) where it drives around and doesn't vacuum.

I have my Roomba programmed to start at 5pm every day. Multiple times now it's come to life at 7pm, gone straight to my bedroom, stayed for for 5-10 minutes, then come back home to its dock and gone back to sleep. I have no idea what&#

Well under that theory, this would have been a good time for Kavanaugh to go against Trump, since his vote didn't matter.

For twitter I have a sports list that I stick to 99% of the time. A little politics filters through, but I've found that to be just the right amount. When major events happen, I switch over to my full feed, where I follow a bunch of po

I have my Facebook feed curated enough that it shows me reels I like (landslides, dance-offs, kids or animals doing cute things - nothing salacious). Of course, AI crap filters in, but a majority are still good. Even the sponsored posts are

If I'm not in flow state focusing on some programming problem, my brain is still going a million miles a minute pontificating about 10 different threads of nonsense at once. So I could see where focusing on one task doesn't actual

I started playing Civ (any version) for the first time a few months ago. I'm somewhat addicted, but at the same time I might find a new game soon because I get upset when the AIs attack me. Sometimes I take it personally and decide to

Yeah, they're usually just called "steamers". I put clam in front of them to disambiguate. But it's always bugged me. They're not steaming anything! They're getting steamed.

Could it be the model is constantly searching its own name for memes, or checking common places like HN and updating accordingly? I have no idea how real-time these things are, just asking.

Or just have your AI and their AI go on a date and report back how it went.

I got the brunt of this when Amazon banned me from KDP for life over a complete nonsense hallucination by a fraud detection bot. I thought at some point I'd get to talk to a human who would immediately say "Oh this is ridiculous,

How does it compare in difficulty and scope to the original Adventure ? I guess actually known as Colossal Cave Adventure? When I played it on my uncle's terminal in the 70s it was just called Adventure. I stayed up all night and didn

Can you put "Gaussing splats" in some kind of real world metaphor so I can understand what it means? Either that or explain why "Gaussian" and why "splat". I am vaguely aware of stuff like Gaussian blur on Phot
