Unless you value correctness and safety, it's probably not a great idea to use a probabilistic algorithm as a backbone for your software

The "enshittification" of computing. The Windows 11 default Photo Viewer has probably 20% of the features of IrfanView - and the problem is that normal users don't know a better tool exists for free if they need those extra f

Do you really think that transformers came to us from God? They're built on the corpses of millions of models that never went anywhere. I spent an entire year trying to scale up a stupid RNN back in 2014. Never went anywhere, because i

One of the most beautiful examples of religious architecture I have ever seen in person. Definitely can get lost in the thousands of little details. Really puts me to shame calling myself an engineer when I other engineers accomplish things

You have to check by hand, just like you have to check an intern's code.

13% unassisted is crazy. That's probably half the performance of an intern that costs ~100k/year.

Copy pasting from stackoverflow has been a meme for almost a decade now. I don't think that destroyed software engineering. Generative AI goes further than that, but fundamentally don't alter software engineering, at least at thei

You don't need college if your goal in life is to be a corporate drone. It's a huge waste of money. If your goal is to be a critical thinker with a diverse education and social experiences, college is one of the lowest barrier to

Just because something is hard does not make it worthwhile. It is populist slop, doesn't matter how many people worked on it.

I wanted to watch a special by my favourite comedian Stewart Lee. It's only available on BBC iPlayer and most VPNs I have tried don't seem to work with it. Is it really unethical for me to torrent that special that I literally can

Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why not non-profit in the start when you need to attract scientists and engineers who are in it for the challenge, and then change to for profit when you need to attract product managers and people who
