Fun thing about these beetles is they do their territory call by knocking their abdomen against rocks or hard surfaces making a distinct TokTok sound. As kids we used to have great fun knocking rocks together around…
You should throw in CORBA from the 90s for completeness. My view mostly it was a confluence of poor dev experience and over-engineering that killed them. Some of those protocols were well designed. Some were secure, all…
Move beyond benchmarks… proceed to list a bunch of benchmarks. The problem for me is that it’s not worth running these myself, yeah I may pay attention to which model is better at tool calling. But what matters is how…
I agree with you on the quality of the study. My point was that value shouldn’t be considered a given, we’re still figuring it out. In my team I see examples like yours, but I also see engineers having to clean up slop…
Just to make the point. I agree there’s adoption but value is still being figured out. See the MIT Nanda study, and the other one from a few weeks back on the perceived vs actual productivity increases. There is value,…
BBC editorial standards. Unless it’s proven to be a murder, they can’t report it as such. They can say an investigation is launched etc. they’re pretty good at following up with subsequent articles or even changing the…
You say that like this isn’t exactly what Doge would want to accomplish. They’d likely do away with educators at all and just let llms do it. I agree with your base point though. “Demand better” should be the new war cry
It’s their business choice, but they’re no longer the only option, nor in my opinion the best one. Vote with your feet and your wallets.
Still mostly politics at that level too, unfortunately. But I agree at least there’s a chance to do something worthwhile.
The original cargo cult?
Did this extensively in the mid-naughties. Huge site, lots of data and traffic. Performance exceeded what was available at the time, scaled super well, but not something I’d ever go back to. - xslt is not a programming…
I love this thought from the article. > Limit our brain diet the same way we try not to eat (delicious) fatty food every day to avoid the total collapse of our bodies. Gives me hope that after our societal binge on…
Airwarrior and Battletech Solaris. Man those were good times.
Is that back?
Add to this that voice assistants fundamentally got worse and worse as their makers tried to monetise, increase usage etc. it took cool tech and made it annoying. I can see llms going much the same way.
It’s opportunistic I think. Rev is up and as you say SAP is like tar to get out of. IMO There’s a market expectation that “big tech must make cuts” and therefore they either feel their share price would be under…
Agree with you a lot. Especially about that style of management being attacked. It’s easier to manage when all you do is assign work, reward with money and blame silent quiting, millennials, or whatever the latest cause…
As I understood it, it was to not let black do the formatting during CI builds. In local dev you’d let it reformat. Even while it won’t break anything you want CI to be your safety net, flagging a local setup as being…
Read past the inanely long description of futures. Lme retroactively cancelled trades from yesterday due to a massive short squeeze on nickel
This seems to do a better job of explaining https://docs.temporal.io/docs/temporal-explained/introductio... From my take, an interesting way of dealing with scalable workflows and batch jobs. But I need to read more…
I doubt that they did this for a short term (weeks of gravy) gain. I also don't think that it's a case of increasing impressions. I do however think that it allows them to display more ads, and therefore increases the…
Dude, the user has just asked for advertising :) why are you even mentioning donations? Giving the user access to stuff they want to buy, when they want to buy it and where they want to buy it, without giving them…
Good point, Formal logic I studied in the phil dept far outstripped the AI courses at a similar level in CS. The same goes for Linear Algebra and data mining/IR. Those two areas, possibly along with linguistics (data…
Absolutely! I once hired a MSc CS grad on a project and he produced some of the worst code I've ever seen, not even just a code perspective, which to some degree is understandable, but from a conceptual point of view as…
love that! I'm so going to be using that as a jargon buster in the next corporate symantic symposium navel gazing event.
