This is both a curse and an opportunity. Compliance is one of those things that is costly and time-consuming but can lead to entrenchment in certain industries. I worked for a client eons ago that went through the enormous hassle of HIPPA c

I've been really interested in things like raylib [1] and other minimal C libraries for lower-level game-engine-like capabilities. There is a widening middle ground available for developers between writing your own engine completely fr

I suppose the more poetic: "don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin" is another way to state it. It isn't "new things might be good" it is more a reminder that your self-described feeling of un

What I want more than a library is an exhaustive test suite for all of the edge cases segmented by currency or finance authority. Tangentially, I also often think about super-strict typing. I know people mention some languages that already

I hear what you are saying but there is the other side. Perhaps the opinion/feeling you are having is related to getting older. We've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't in programming languages. Goto considered h

Keep in mind: one of the top selling games for children is Roblox. Our perception of what is "good" is very open to reinterpretation by the coming generations.

Thanks - will look into this more deeply once I am ready to start integrating generation into my tool. Do you have an API that can be called? Are you interested in reselling your technology through 3rd party tools?

Consider another angle. I follow a lot of the new AI gen crowd on Twitter. This community is made up of a lot of creative industry people. One guy who worked in commercials shared a recent job he was on for a name brand. They had a soundsta

I wonder how they will package this as a product. I mean, there is some advantage to keeping the tool proprietary and wrapping it in a consumer product for Instagram/Facebook. What I hope (since I am building a story telling front-end

There are a few available to the public. runway.ai and kling are a couple that I see heavily used on Twitter. I pay for runway right now for experiments and it works. The problem is that maybe 1 out of 10 prompts result in something useable

Every PR is a single commit. The only extra commits on a PR would be "Review feedback", etc. But it would be squash merge and the final commit message updated to include any important details related to the changes from the feedba

I'm not sure I understand your exact logic, so let me talk through a simplified scenario for arguments sake. Imagine each change takes 1 day. Imagine the team releases code to production every day. On Monday a developer picks up the ta

This sounds like levels.fyi for companies? As long as they are selling aggregate data and not data specific to an individual (e.g. for determining an offer for a particular person) it seems reasonable.

I've heard people argue for this strategy a few times but I am not convinced. Most projects I work on have feature branches that get squashed into a single commit (erasing the history of the branch). If we even have the case described

I'm looking to create an end-to-end story telling interface. I'm currently working on the MVP and my plan was just to generate the prompts and then require users to manually paste those prompts into the interfaces of products that

I am actively working in this area from a wrapper application perspective. In general, tools that generate video are not sufficient on their own. They are likely to be used as part of some larger video-production workflow. One drawback of t

I agree with you here on the defeatism of this kind of post. It is almost like asking people to compartmentalize their trauma. That is, don't expect to change your work environment - simply bear through it and eke out a modicum of real

Just one man's anecdote: I worked a short walk from a specialty Japanese food store when I lived in New York city. It was the kind of place that had fresh produce and fish/meat flown in from Japan a few days per week. They had a v

I literally thought of building this kind of thing recently, although I have some differing ideas on how to implement it. But the general idea of a single header C-like file that compiles to wasm and outputs primitive drawing commands is ex

I recently had the opposite, where the CEO of the startup was killing almost all ideas of adding AI to their products. Perhaps AI is just polarizing. Some companies are jumping at the opportunity. But older startups like the one I was worki

I would argue that hiding methods is one way to obscure motives of those building the case against a defendant. The specific discussion was related to a "wait-and-see" attitude in regards to the motives of the justice system of Fr

My first thought on the matter would be novelty. If the consciousnesses of the future sufficiently valued novelty, and if the contents of a brain scan were considered a high-value source of potential novelty, then I can imagine there might

There is a difference between having code and writing code. For example, sometimes I want to have code that I don't want to write. I often use libraries from package managers for this case. Using existing libraries frees me to write th

The actual cause of the investigation is unlikely to come up during discovery or the trial. This is because of Parallel Construction [1]. Here is the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article to explain: > Parallel construction is a law e

Even if one were to grant your assumptions (which I would challenge) you still end up positing a false dichotomy/dilemma. You might rightfully say that you cannot think of a third possible outcome of your highly specific and one dimens
