If you read the whole thing, the answer is plainly no: > It's worth pausing on what this means. LLMs identify roles from an insecure feature (style). This is like identifying a stranger's profession from how they talk…
Its not a bad comparison because pistachios are a cash crop, not a staple crop. That is to say, pistachios aren't grown to keep people fed, they are grown for economic profit
Sounds like he pays for AI himself. He said he bills by the feature/bug. So he keeps all the productivity gains from using AI
Is mail fraud really taken seriously? after I bought my house I got dozens of letters every few days that appeared (or tried to appear) from my lender warning of "FINAL NOTICE call this number about your mortgage!!!!!".…
The trailing return type pattern was added to the standard, IIRC, to make it easier for templated functions to have return types that depend on the types of the arguments, such as in this example: template <typename A,…
I'm interested, as I've never been in an org with QA specialists. What does that look like?
Honestly I think micro mobility is an undervalued topic. It has the potential to really change the viability of transit in a ton of major cities, where transit infrastructure has poor coverage. And honestly anything at…
IIRC those are basically hash tables, which are first-class citizens in many languages already
Yeah, this is one of my favorite things about LLMs right now: they haven't gone through any enshittification. Its like how google search used to be so much better
That's awful. I hope you were able to recover damages from the builders
Huh. I'm pleasantly surprised about this. Maybe there will be a long-lasting positive outcome from all this AI stuff after all
For those interested, this blog post also has a part 2 and 3: https://hackeryarn.com/post/rust-macros-2/ https://hackeryarn.com/post/rust-macros-3/
Not necessarily. If $x is enough to get you 10x more Software engineering effort, people may be willing to increase their spending on software engineering, rather than decrease it
>Hard-code some logic to identify cranes and always assume there's a cable dangling from the end. Probably this one. Even if the drone sees the crane, there's no guarantee the cable won't move faster than the drone can…
You're right, people absolutely do rely on internal behavior intentionally and sometimes even unintentionally. And we tried our hardest not to break any of those customers either. but the point is that putting something…

Sounds like your organization isn’t learning from these periods of high bill. What lead to the bill creeping up, and what mechanisms could be put in place to prevent them in the first place?
I'd be wary of draining the battery while the car is off. You don't want to prevent the car from starting
Your lack of empathy is obvious when you say the benefit of these services is that "people are lazy". Many many people simply don't have extra time, and taking one thing off of their plate makes life easier. For many…
If you really wanted to look like Amazon codex you would write Java :)
Is this meant to be used in production systems, or is it just a learning exercise?
Plotting is one task I find such huge benefits to AI coding assistants. I can ask "make a plot with such and such data, one line per <blank>" etc. Since its so east to validate the code (just run the program and look at…
Technology: Noun 1. The application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives.
On the other hand, I can imagine that banning that banning one form of advertising drives those would-be advertisers to other mediums, such as the ones that drive addictive apps and such. This would in turn increase the…
It already applies to real people, doesn't it? I.e. if you read a book, you're not allowed to start printing and selling copies of that book without permission of the copyright owner, but if you learn something from…
