I dunno even isolated to language specific aspects someone with no experience could hang themeselves. I use a ton of Go & Javascript, if you take a fundamental part of both languages, async operations and compare them…
I dunno I find it almost more important than ever to have deep domain experience. You need to be able to scan output and spot any problems/improvements instantly. If I am just auditing AI output around an area I don’t…
and you never look at the code? I understand the feasibility of this and sometimes in my lazier moments I skim the code changes and trust automated/manual testing to validate changes, but to just like... you don't even…
I think this all stems from Baby boomers controlling the narrative. Baby boomers had an insane relationship with the sun. Getting crispy brown tan, using tanning oils, using that metal collar to blast sun directly into…
Is referring to these new models as "LLM"s still correct anymore? The frontier models are a more complex orchestration of LLMs and many other programming techniques, they aren't just a weight set anymore. The whole…
Heavily agree. The computer should be a force for order, because being a living creature is chaos. That said LLMs can be used in ways that promote order. People just got excited and wanted to believe they could be…
Yeah being good is great but... some of the best engineers I have ever met are working at small companies making 150k, while mediocre ones fell into Meta/Google/Tesla jobs during the pandemic hiring frenzy and are now…
Similar story where as soon as someone made a 100k+ offer to me I dropped out of school and never looked back (was making $12/hr at the time). In retrospect it was not the best choice because college does give you a…
Only 39 but definitely relate. From 18-28 life was sharing apartments with various friends just wiling our time away working easy jobs, rock climbing, video games, girls, etc. Then the looming pressure of "you are…
Yeah they seem clickable because anything Anti-AI is a bit soothing right now, but he is constantly wrong and usually is pushing the angle of "these businesses aren't even profitable!" Instantly close the tab as soon as…
Same story, ended up just need to replace a fuse and clean out some filters. I hate to be a "tech elitist" or whatever, but goddamn it seems like software is one of the most learning intensive careers you can pick. A…
People outside of the tech industry are totally ignorant of how capable models are becoming. Lawyers, Finance bros, Accountants, Doctors are all still barely being scratched at compared to the massive investments into…
If you believe extraordinary individuals are a product of nature and we don't know how to nurture them into existence then it makes sense. Whatever confluence of events triggers an Einstein has the greatest number of…
I see a ton of people praising AI tools replacing software engineers. There is like a weird schadenfreude and an ignorance that this will only affect the tech industry. They don't seem to realize that 100X the resources…
I don't think that is possible. Humans have always taken the path of least resistance, especially when it comes to work/school. The idea that we just "trust everyone to carefully check and learn from AI output" as our…
They seem to have a post on every Who is hiring thread for the last few months so... infer from that what you will
If every violation gets captured hopefully we can have law enforcement and judges that can use their discretion to make sure the "spirit of the law" is what actually results in punishment. Or we fire 80% of them if an…
6,400 is maybe a tiny fraction of the total. Maybe AI will allow them to have way more breadth?
I don't agree that running a frontend application with NextJS SSR, lazy loading, etc. is "easy" compared to the days where you just wrote HTML, JS and CSS. The level of complexity and the expectations of users are in…
Reminds me of Moravec's paradox, that it is easy to get computers to ace complex math tests but difficult to teach them to walk. We are very excited that computers have mastered the "know the recipe" step and are…
In the early 2000s major sports didn't even want to run "enjoy a vacation to Las Vegas" ads because of the loose connection to gambling. Now they encourage users to bet as part of the commentary.
Market makers are not going to let anything collapse, there is not going to be a "storm". The government and everyone with any money/power are fully invested in keeping the market going regardless of any kind of…
That is a sort of a nightmare. On demand sex work for extremely low cost with 0 risk of disease... We are slowly stripping everyone of the will to build meaningful lives by fulfilling all wants with soulless instant…
I always wondered if you could compare odds on the most advanced sports betting apps and those on futures markets and exploit any big diffs between the two.
Well now the tools are butting up against the limits of what humans can do, and the people they are going to displace aren't just picking up boxes. Workers who will be replaced now are already specialized and highly…
