You’re partially correct, but this isn’t an explanation for why they’re rendered wrong Hands are extremely complicated mechanically. They are the most complex creation evolution has come up with and part of the reason humans are able to do

This is the same reasoning that SQL gets criticized with. But the answer is simple. Git (and sql) range from simple task to very complicated. Everyone likes to fantasize about making it easier but they’re only thinking about the fraction of

Unless somehow a “mission statement” is legally binding it will never mean anything that matters. Its always written by PR people with marketing in mind

I used to think like this, but after getting a wife and kids, there’s just no way a corporate job can be continually rewarding like you describe. Everything is always mired in unpleasant bullshit and emotionally detaching like the above pos

Ah yea docker and kubernetes. The silly little playthings of the tech world

Life is more complicated than that. There are smart people burdened with a moral compass, which forces them to "do the right thing" which might be pursuing their passion or contributing to society. Then there are smart people who

First of all, all code requires domain knowledge to understand. Some domains are just simple. Business domains never are. Even with your upper case example, if you don’t know what upper case letters are, you are in the same position. Seco

With all due respect, I don’t think you really get what art is. Please just google the definition or something. No someone that doesn’t have art skills cannot create art precisely for the same reason, with or without ai . The hypothetical s

by timacles 3y ago
All you say is true but that is still not the point Ai does not and cannot create art, it’s as simple as that.

by timacles 3y ago
You're confusing art with pretty pictures. AI "art" is not art, they are just pictures. It has no meaning, it has no context, it is not inspired by anything. Art has depth, art has emotion. Theres no AI pieces that someone &q

To really "get" the Tao Te Ching, I think you have to study Zen and Buddhism. Without getting an intuitive understanding of abstract phrases, talking about things with metaphors, stuff like emptyness and "the way" you&#x

Python's use of whitespace is, dare i say, perfect. It makes everything more readable. I've never seen cases where indentation is ambiguous. I think this is because in a programming language indentation happens in a small set of s

I'm sorry but in what world is a human interaction is just generating the most statistically likely next word? I can't even being to go into this.

The only reason is if you have a bunch of micro service apps that need their own small db that can be quickly spun up, and you already run everything else in kubernetes. A very niche use case that doesn’t apply to 95% of shops. All the rest

I'm not really following what you're trying to say. What is that personality type, and what are the things its good at? What is the LLM advantage? Not saying your post is devoid of any substance, just trying to educate myself on m

It’s good at a beginner, early intermediate level when you need help with syntax and structuring basic things. It’s an excellent helper tool at that stage. But it’s obvious outside of jr dev work and hobby projects there’s no way it could p

I follow the PG world very closely and would like to add that Postgres community essentially "soft" turned that down and its not going to be a thing any time soon, like in the next five years at least.

Its very easy to say something like that, but impossible to provide any sort of examples, even in a fantasy context. Like what a gas cloud with intelligence? We live in a universe with distinct rules, saying life doesnt have to have cells i

by timacles 3y ago
A cell is just literally an organic unit. It’s something organized that is alive. Any living thing would have to have cell’s otherwise it’s just not organized in any way which doesn’t make sense in the context of our universe

Code is just an analog for life and its duality. Its all those things and none of those things. Code is code. Humans are the ones with the obsession of abstracting and categorizing things to make ourselves feel better. In reality, none of t

This basic wisdom sounds like a child's view of human relationships and emotions. Like someone approximating what things should be like rather than what they actually are. It honestly just reads like misogyny, like women who have many

Yea this is as classic fallacy. This famous talk outlines it: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html but theres a huge amount of factors that go into becoming one of those guys. Its not just talent

That one isn't a line drawing, its a shadow relief drawing with depth removed. Then with with outlines applied to the shadows. Even then, the only reason why its so "confusing" to us is because they applied some kind of rand

As a person that has been practicing and studying line drawing for 15+ years, this article seems like its way off the mark. Its just not asking the right questions. The brain uses all kinds of context sensitive cues to try to link what its

As a general life advice (this may sound harsh (but thats life)) ... never admit weakness or flaw to anyone that you're selling yourself to. They will immediately ignore your 99 other good qualities and only focus on the flaw you menti
