This is a good example of how communication can be hard. I’m not suggesting the person without information over explain. I agree that’s a pretty silly idea. I’m suggesting that as the other person, the person building the flux capacitors, a

The opposite of this, actively over explaining, is also a great way to grow trust and your career. By trying to anticipate questions when communicating at work, or writing code, you open up the room for others to ask questions and speed up

I’ve been asked multiple times in interviews what I think the difference between a dev/engineer and a programmer is. As a hiring manager I’ve also had people ask me the question as a way to get at role expectations. These were all at s

It is clickbait, assuming you don’t know the distinction between a developer and a programmer. If you do it’s actually a pretty solid title. I’d argue it’s worth a read because the main point is very good. I think the core distinction is im

I guess I’d ask why is something having been first released in the late 80s, or any decade, as positive or negative? Some things are still used because they solve the problems people have. Some things are still used just because of industry

This is a very interesting comment for me. I really dislike your virtues but agree with everything else and your general dislike of stoicism. I think there might be a more middle way which doesn’t include impertinence, for example, as a val

I’m watching Person of Interest for the first time. It’s interesting watching it today now that the premise, minus 100% accurate crime prediction, is largely a forgone conclusion. It was produced after Klein but before Snowden and does a go

Not to hard pivot but any DIY links you’d recommend? I’ve been getting into this field and would like to DIY something around this scale. Keep a fridge running, maybe have a little dc circuit for a home lab.

Clickbait headlines aren't anything new. While a better headline like: "How the Layoff Culture that Started in the 80s and Spread to the Rest of Wall Street is Actually Harming Business's Long Term Prospects" would be be

Oh ok this makes sense. Because of the ordering of the sentences I read it as “it pushes the code to production and then monitors it in production”. I have found that prompting something like “do X and write tests to confirm it works” works

Thank you for all your work on the language!

I’m sorry what is happening with this paragraph: > As long as the bank authorizations keep coming through, it will push on bug fixes until they're deployed in production, and then start scanning through the user logs to see how well

As always Gleam’s lsp actions show just how much useful code generation can be done without the need for any gen ai so long as you have strong types. I continue to be amazed just how much the community cares about the developer experience o

This isn’t how all layoffs work though. Some, yes they are due to over hiring and a failure of management to plan. They are likely necessary for survival of the firm and generally last course of action. Although even those come with a cost

A similar issue arises with health insurance. Using AI to evaluate claims is a huge efficiency play and you don’t have much ability to fight it if something goes wrong. And even if you can these decisions can be life or death in the short t

For me peak internet was mid 2000s StumbleUpon. Finding random sites at the click of a button lightly sorted by theme. One major difference was people weren’t competing to get the most views. Of course monetized sites wanted more but today’

Right their purpose is to produce bullshit in the most technical sense[1]. There is no concern for the actual truth, just that the output sounds good. Edit: That’s not to discount the value of said bullshit or to say they are never correct.

This is one of the more major risks of chatbot style generative AI. People are very open to well argued answers to problems even if the answer is wrong. I was reading this article about how those with less educational attainment seem to use

Universities run small cities. That staff number includes the people who mow the lawn, cook food, clean dorms, work security, maintain their networks, etc the list is massive.

Oh yes if the question is if the duplicate is also _me_ then I understand the concern. That’s a much more complicated question. But when it comes to perspective it’s easy to answer. Which I guess is literally what the wiki page says it make

I don’t understand how this refutes physicalism. Only my eyes are hooked up to my brain. If you duplicate the whole system there would be a duplicate that would begin experiencing its own version of reality.

The article actually takes a stance that if you incorporate AI you can learn how the person is at doing things the AI cannot.

It’s like the “fish don’t know they are in water” saying. As an American if you weren’t educated to be aware of Pax Americana you very much struggle to understand it. The current world order is far from perfect and many suffer as a result b
