The patent system is very strong evidence that there are shortcuts. So many that we have laws designed to protect and incentivize version 1. Sure, there’s some hard lessons along the way; but far, far, far fewer than figuring it out in the

Within the last, like, ... 3 months, I think.

It scares me how much of this is true - people truly weren't doing all of this before; but like ... some of us (like myself) were, and we were trying to push other people to write good code like that - code that helped everyone else&#x

This is what I've seen. There has been a middle-ground though, that I've seen. I was using Jetbrains' AI Assistant, or whatever it's called, during an interview for the (nearly) first time, and I only used it as auto-com

Yeah, passthrough is pretty icky, for sure. I just take the headset off. It’s not good enough for passthrough.

Well, there’s probably several reasons: 1) because they’re not doing those others spheres of work 2) because they don’t think about the work nor how tired they are afterwards 3) they’re proselytizing AI work as the future and

I think you deeply underestimate the value of good advertising and the charisma of the ones doing it - especially when they're sharing their story more than trying to sell you something.

Weirdly, the experience with Virtual Desktop on the Quest 3 is fast, high resolution, clean, and all that wireless on WiFi 7.

The most incredible tech on the planet is just a useless, Rube Goldberg machine without an application for the tech. VR has lots of uses, but it takes someone outside the field who wouldn’t have given it a go otherwise to see another use an

I'm not a lawyer; but I believe that even if they take payment through BTC, etc, they're going to need to take sales tax, etc, based on the location that their subscriber is ... which means they need to handle the tax hell that

That’s exactly right. Finding ways to get paid for your work, and all the very complicated way taxes interact with it all, unless you’re going all-in on ads, is a messy problem that people will happily centralize for. And for the less techn

Your perspective locks in on a worldview where spirit / soul and body are intertwined and impossible to separate. There are positions that treat spirit and body as separate things, and I suspect the person you're speaking to has t

All these other responders. Goodness. It’s a clock. It’s a fun little project they made *FOR FUN!*. Did everyone forget that hackers and engineers like to have fun? Seriously. Someone at Open Sauce this year made a friggin CRT-based VR head

Would you feel weird with someone saying 100 miles North of Miami, 100 miles Sourth of Orlando, 100 miles west of Huston, 100 miles South of Chicago?

Oh that's really very clean, yeah. It's almost literally exactly what's in the text editor, just with a more friendly-for-mouse UX. They did very well.

How is this different fro Prometheus and its associated time series db? that looks like exactly how prom works, give or take. (and some of the negatives around stats that come with it, e.g. p95 calculation)

Education is often best achieved through spaced repetition and cross-discipline integration, especially with the intent of connecting something with someone’s personal life to sink it deeper. A single news article ever, or 1000 news article

Could also be a problem of the form of P=NP. Validating might be very easy, but writing might be hard. Like the traveling salesman problem. It’s very easy to tell whether a specific path takes N units of time, but it’s hard to figure out if

You can feel it, too. In particular when you’re used to smoother. It’s like going from 240Hz back to 60Hz, or even 240Hz to 120. People can tell.

Far lower. I assumed most companies aren’t even doing that, especially with the options I was given. I was a 1 or a 2 for most things, and a few 4s as appropriate.

I got a high rating because I use AI-powered auto-complete, search and CodeRabbit for MRs. I'm suspicious. Perhaps the explanations provided by the hover-overs is less than clear?

Never underestimate the power of a banter chat room that people just … talk… in. About anything, everything. Random protesting, etc. One of my previous companies talked so much in the random channel we had a second one made with our name on

Sigh. Anything that isn’t a default is optional by default. Anything that’s toggleable or configurable is optional. Security is, always, a trade off. It is hilariously common for private keys to work as a full identifier for a person, witho

Have you noticed an increase in their willingness to “do the right thing first time” during these last 6 months since your approval rate has dropped that much? (Even if the right thing is to have more conversations)? Do you know if there’s

That sounds like a fantastic way for a malicious actor or an unintentional prompt injection exploit to sneak into a codebase. Perhaps you could explain how this is different from rubber stamping, if it’s just 30 seconds of reading. Does the

Beyond mirroring the engineering practices that you yourself want to see other people perform, have you found any techniques to get people to … in short, do their job again? Understand context, understand what they did, why they did it, wha

To add to this, for all the claims of 100x, can anyone cite an example of someone actually pushing 100x in a domain that isn’t “translate or port tool/library/whatever from language A to language B”? Because that’s literally what

Oh definitely not. Many of us work in tech. Many of us are the people that wrote the code that other people on this website complain about as anti-patterns, dark patterns, etc.
