We even have the options around in our compilers to treat warnings as errors. As continuation on that idea I for one was lucky earlier in my career to work with the brilliant idea of just asserting in production.…
Yeah, I gave up trying to find productivity uses for the copilot in office because of limitations like that.
If I was to speculate, this is the result of "rank n' yank" where the performative productivity is more important than actual productivity. If true it says something about why AI is pushed hard by Microsoft, it make…
Well, for me it makes a difference. I often get in a sense a "theory of mind" of the other developers when I read other code. I don't get the same thing with AI code.
A feature wasn't 10000 loc written by a AI before that no one except the AI with the context understands. If you review all that to understand it fully your productivity gain diminishes, the gain might not go away fully…
Well you aren't writing the code, the AI is and you are letting the AI debug that created it in the first place and it doesn't learn from the experience in the same way. Hopefully you understand the problem in such a…
I read that as you have never been debugging a production issue at 3am while losing data and/or revenue.
So, they still booked up all the ram and ssd in the world and still going to use gigawatts of power. The price of energy production is not going to go down 20x and 30x it just means that they can cram in more inference…
Well from my point of view. When they talk about gigawatt datacenters, then yes it is economically nonviable. You just need to know the scale of a gigawatt to realize that we need to start building power plants and…
My little anecdote of breaking the spell. Really I might not been truly under the spell, but I had to go far in to my project to loose the "magic" of the code. The trick was simply going back to a slower way of using it…
They have made huge investments into hardware so everyone is getting more expensive hardware, and now begging everyone else to make their investments worthwhile. Don't mind that they are driving up prices for hardware…
Fun fact about BSTR, it uses memory before the string pointer to store the length. From the CComBSTR documentation from microsoft: "The CComBSTR class is a wrapper for BSTRs, which are length-prefixed strings. The…
Because he showed the action fps was possible on limited hardware. Also he has had some good ideas in the software- design and architecture of Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake, that where apparent when he open sourced their…
Uhm, isn't radiation a problem outside of the atmosphere? How fast are the data transfers going to be? so many questions...
I'm dumbstruck that Crowstrike exists with George Kurtz still at the helm. There is no accountability at all. Kurtz was CTO of McAfee when their update caused back in 2010. Why does these things keep following him?
I've turned off my history on all logged in profiles, to get YouTube not giving me recommendations! I had a constant humm of YouTube content in my background during work. So when I was offered due to the EU to turn off…
I'm old as dirt but I recall one of the arguments for TPM was shoved down our throats was the ability to tie documents to machines and organizations. Something something... industrial espionage. Now we know that is a…
A crypto library is "essential complexity" and running a node.js runtime inside a container in kubernetes node in a virtual machine on a server owned by a hyperscalar cloudprovider is "accidental complexity". I'll take…
When skimming through the report I got to think of the oscillation problem in RIP routing protocol. Although it isn't the same thing, but it shows the complexity of the problem to anyone who thinks there is a single…
I've harped on this before: the problem is that the ads if they are fraudulent or harmful in other ways and the companies making money when presenting deserve get their shit blocked. Especially if they can target ads to…
The important thing here isn't who he is, but how he was treated when presented the idea that techies are going to loose reputation.
Do you have a link to the post (or posts) from Michael O. Church? I have a vague recollection of the idea but I would like to reread it with what I know today!
I didn't say that I was any good, just that I enjoyed it. I have a dog eared copy of Advanced Windows Debugging that I've used, but I've also have books around reverse engineering, disassembly and a little bit of…

In my view it is about design that requires taste and creativity. Engineering is about function, design is about form. If I build something that solves a problem but if it isn't well designed it can mean that no one…
