This is just insane! Why hasn't this bubbled up to the top?
I was reminded of this classic short story by Isaac Asimov, The feeling of Power: https://archive.org/details/1958-02_IF/page/4/mode/2up
The next generation of SEO - this article is both hilarious and disturbing
Reviewing someone else's large pull request is like having a second task in parallel with what you are working on yourself!
Telecom vendors were doing exactly this before the dotcom crash of 2000
I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention that one of the key factors that enabled deep learning was the use of RELU as the activation function in the early 2010s. RELU behaves a lot better than the logistic…
Yeah - it was pretty chaotic when I was there too. We had to use the internal purchase order system to buy certificates from a CA. It was cumbersome as it required several levels of approval. I have long since quit IBM…
I will never buy a car without CarPlay - it's that simple. I will likely buy an EV at some point but I will never buy a Tesla, Rivian or GM EV since they lack this essential feature. I like that all of my phone's…
I worked in tech for thirty years and was able to retire comfortably. I was well paid but never had a spectacular salary - what worked was steady saving and investing.
After working in AI for a big chunk of my career, I have switched gears in retirement and am having a great time learning to program small controllers like Arduinos. It's like going back in time - minimal OS, simple…
How does this kind of constraint modeling compare with logic based approaches like Answer Set Programming (https://potassco.org)? Years ago, I got excited by the possibilities of ASP but it does not seem to have…
It has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an IMU built in which is very useful for a robotics project I'm currently working on. Plus it has a huge amount of RAM and flash compared to an ATMEGA Arduino
I'm using the Arduino RP2040 in a project. This is also in the same form factor as the Nano and is truly remarkable in terms of value for money. Really impressed with Arduino
The board did their job perfectly!
Like you I was sick of software engineering but still really enjoy programming. I was fortunate enough to be able to retire early and I now enjoy programming a few hours a day on various personal projects and open…
Pretty underwhelming set of predictions. However, his fascination with the deconstruction of Twitter was pretty jarring.
Same here, I started out 2022 with a neutral opinion of him. It could not be any lower now.
I read the book The Soul of a New Machine in 1982 when I was an undergraduate in India. I was so impressed that I became determined to get into software development as a career. Then I came to America for grad school…
How does one buy Bitcoin or Ethereum outside of exchanges?
Good point. I think it will get even worse as automation improves. Consider that problems beyond thew ability of the automated driving system are delegated to the human driver. As automation improves, the human driver…
What's not clear is this: I thought being in the Metaverse is supposed to be leisure time activity. So what would you do with it at work?
I wrote my first program in 1980 (in Fortran). After I finished my PhD, I was employed in various programming jobs for about thirty years until I retired in 2020. I still spend a lot of time programming, which I still…
from the manufacturer's viewpoint the main problem with EVs is that there is much less scope for differentiation in the power train. Most manufacturers are going to be using similar battery technology. I think that…
I agree. This article reminds me of the vacuous advice given to new investors: "buy low and sell high" :-)
I mostly worked in IBM research but once spent a few months on assignment in a product developed group in the mid 1990s. At the weekly group meeting, each developer would mention throw many lines of code had been…
