While it’s important to make this explicit, at what point do we just assume a high-reliability UPS is table stakes? Of course, if you need SIL2 type reliability then you need to assume any given hardware component can spontaneously combust

I meant in the sense of “if a dev doesn’t perceive it as slow, they won’t optimise it”, not that they’d necessarily optimise something that is slow.

It goes for all spheres of life, full stop. I’m not sure if agents struggle with this because they learned it from humans, or if they struggle with it because it’s a universally challenging problem, but it’s something we share with them.

And at that level, it’s a matter of definition anyway. What is “AI generated”? A photo of a screen showing an AI picture is still a photo. If that’s “AI” then what about a photo of an AI generated billboard? Or a photo of a bus with an AI g

Devs pay attention to, and optimise, anything that is painfully slow in their test environment. That’s why we need to test stuff on slow hardware.

Imagine an unholy fusion of The Anarchist’s Cookbook and A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer, distributed to every malcontent with a smartphone. At some point some kid is going to build a bioweapon for their school project.

So it’s becoming illegal to not have the Facebook app installed on your phone if you have a Facebook account?

I’ve been that person. I was told to my face that I was being passed over for promotion because I was “a doer” and “got things done”. I understand the thinking but if you tell someone that, you have to offer something in lieu of upward

The daunting bit (if you're using gmail or something where you don't own the domain) is getting everyone to update their address books. I took the same approach that you did and it took years before the forwarded emails died down,

That’s nice. Many peoples’ experience differs. Congrats on it working on your computer. Personally on the whole I’ve had no issues with controlling my weight. I’ve had a couple of isolated instances where I felt hungry all the time and st

You’re still responsible for what you and the team ship if the team is human. Trusting your people just means you’re willing to take the fall if they mess up.
