2006 subway accident in Valencia had a similar context, they used the FAP system, cheaper than ATP, which would have prevented the accident.
That was often a "mechanical" issue with analog captions. You could send only 4 bytes of caption content with each frame (and some were control codes) and the display only fit 32 characters per line. If several people…
Being slower than a compiled language is not saying much for an interpreted language. But it's slower than PHP which is a closer comparison, and PHP has had JIT for six years now.
Captioning and subtitling has taken a direct hit from AI tools, but about half of it is from clients severely reducing their quality standards. Back in the early 1990s the widely referenced BBC guidelines required 99.9%…
I feel back in the day you still saw ads that were kind of creative and there was a certain glamour around being the one brand with the best ads. Current ones are outright unpleasant, the "make the viewer feel bad about…
This is one angle of the productivity story. You don't have any sort of plausible deniability covering all these bugs, test cases etc. when they are comprehensively discoverable by tooling. It's like having typing bugs…
It's already painful now.
If you have a deadline for starting a fire you won't be happy looking at an unskilled person holding a lighter under a bunch of wet twigs.
The more we go in that direction we closer we get to reinventing frameworks in a more compute heavy way. It just so happens that there's no framework (outside silos) for many specific tasks, and AI is the workaround to…
You really felt productive doing anything with Visual Basic 6, at least until things slowed to a crawl because it wasn't so performant or it was held back by the typical Access database. You didn't need 200 hours of…
A caveat is that in this case third parties have plenty logs of the bad behavior. If classic companies were coming out with CCTV recordings of someone's employees breaking padlocks and rummaging warehouses any CEO would…
But you may be still trying to teach kids that are going through a form of withdrawal for several hours because it's not managed outside school.
Templated code generation is ancient. It's just that the latest "template engine s" are very comprehensive.
LLM is spicy memoizing, so it can potentially be faster than a tool call. But people will spend a month tweaking and testing to ensure they have the level of determinism they need, which means it's more expensive, and…
I always wonder when do they stop considering the outer layers part of the star and not relatively dense solar wind soup. Nobody says Earth has 7000km radius, even tho there's traces of exosphere past 500km.
Not really, the actual issue is delta V, launching near the equator requires less fuel because you are getting all the benefit from Earth's rotation. Mass is almost everything for rocket launches. Northern launches are…
I still remember the "Visual" craze of the 90s when everybody was going to be able to make applications without writing code. Visual Basic 6 wasn't even too esoteric, it could have happened already if it was a thing.
Blows my mind that several trillions in I still see so much LLM text with no stylistic awareness.
"There Will Be Blood" but it's 2026 and Plainview's child is AI.
After a decade and half we had to restrict our public side and reorganize our old TED content because scrappers were really hungry for assorted captioned videos. If you have anything of value for training you get eaten…
Well 2010 PHP and the frameworks at the time were still going through the 5.x desert journey, and the prospects weren't entirely clear with the cancellation of PHP 6, so you wouldn't fault your 2010 self for not trying…
Some specialized models may end solving themselves by helping fit the problem with the appropriate regular algorithms/formulas, which are a million times more efficient. So they are probably less attractive to dump…
I think it's partly because of where they come from to the problem. I have education/experience in both literature and coding, I have a pragmatic starting point when approaching text while also being able to recognize…
A lot of what would be the top "reference" works aren't even that good either, they were a successful marketing phenomenon or had cultural or social relevance at their time. So, you can get a lot of bad prose going by a…
Most places where people do their weekly groceries in Spain have at least a small book section if not a bookstore by the entrance. It's a typical thing to bring over to the beach or a weekend trip that doesn't matter if…
