If the cost is not “good enough”, why are the big guys buying a lot of it?

I feel this is one of the major ways that most pundits failed with their “the data is going to run out” predictions. First and foremost a chatbot generates plenty of new data (plus feedback!), but you can also commission new high-quality co

In my experience five 100-line diffs get reviewed much faster than one 500-line diff. Especially when you follow best practices like splitting refactors from functional work; the canonical stacked diff for me is “refactor to make the upcomi

This is why I advise most folks to not take the latest point release of your language or libraries. The bleeding edge is where many of the new vulns are. In general the oldest supported release is usually the safest. The trade-off is when n

It sounds like you have never heard of the Stacked Diffs workflow. Here is an overview: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/stacked-diffs It’s a perfectly reasonable preference to eschew this workflow, but defin

Some people prefer working from home; others prefer office full time. I think hybrid orgs are going to be viable in some cases, but it’s harder to reap the benefits of in-person if only some are standing at the whiteboard. In particular if

The FDA makes life very difficult for companies making medical claims that are false. I cannot see this device actually coming to market in the US without rigorous studies demonstrating efficacy. (No idea how strict Australia is…) The artic

Lots has been written on this subject, check out OpenAI’s papers on -O for example. Latency is a big one due to batching. You can’t really interrupt the agent, which makes actual conversation more clunky. And yes, multimodal has better unde

Refugees typically apply for asylum (you can look up what this means under international treaties). The base claim is that their lives are at risk in their home country, for example due to religious persecution. Lots of grey area in the mid

Thanks for sharing! I think these are probably the lines of reasoning that best bridge from Western philosophical traditions to the Buddhist ones. Anatta seems to be one of the trickiest subjects in Buddhism, not least because there is a ve

It’s a great question. I have come up with two answers (though I am far from an expert): 1) this is empirically verifiable; just do an RCT where you teach people a meditation technique for attention without prompting, and see what they obse

Indeed, there is some more detail around attention (foreground) vs. awareness (background), but the claim really is that in your foreground attention there can only be one object at a time. In your example the three sense modalities would o

The Buddhist take here would be that when you actually hone your attention, introspection reveals not a unified consciousness but a stream of discrete events: thought, visual perception, tactile, tactile, thought,… The default is to not ha

Even the book on Microservices says “First build the Monolith”. You don’t know how to split your system until you have actually got some traction with users, and it’s easier to split a monolith than to reorganize services. You may never nee

I would agree on say 14->15 but I find it somewhat ironic that this version contains what could be one of the biggest changes in many years; Apple Intelligence is putting local-first LLMs into the OS. I predict that in retrospect this wi

Unless there is some sort of “maximum diameter” of each civilization, past which it either splits, stagnates, or implodes. In which case you can sidestep the assumption that development monotonically increases and the first-mover must win.

Yes, the problem is that from a narrative perspective a story about post-humans would be neither relatable nor comprehensible. Personally I think the transhumanist evolution is a much more likely positive outcome than “humans stick around a
