Ai generated text being too concise is not a problem I’m encountering. What we’ve begun to term “Claudish” tends to more closely approximate those “become an expert in X using this one weird trick“ articles that go on…
The writing in that blog has the distinct whiff of Claudish to me!
Yes! I wish I had more than one upvote to give!
Because the limiting factor for what you can deliver has never been, and still isn’t, developer productivity. Talking point: I think it is communication, and AI (notably information exchange in “Claudish”) is not as…
In Australia there is a scale model of the Solar System where the sun is the main dome of Siding Springs observatory and the planets are on billboards at scale size and distance. Pluto is several hundred kilometres away…
Current me if I’m wrong but I think that was a calculation based on a specific velocity at some fraction of C. Whereas a constant 1g acceleration would far exceed that fraction and thus shorten the time significantly.
Chris Newman fan? You should have lead with “What is it now?”
Discreamination FTFY
There are only two hard problems in computer programming: 1. Naming things 2. Cache invalidation 3. off-by-one errors
> Markdown files are slightly annoying to read/preview Maybe I’ve missed the intentions of markdown, but the ability to easily read the plain text version has always been the killer feature. Rendering as html is a nice…
Keep going! The idea has merit. But it is US centric. I tried the example with my local post code and of course it didn’t work as I’m not in the US.
> You can now spin up five agents to implement five different versions of the thing you're building and simply pick the best one. Or you end up with five different mediocre solutions where the best parts are randomly…
The described SDLC is a recipe for rigorously and predictably building the wrong thing. Does anyone actually work like this? Have they ever? At the least it misses all the feedback loops between the stages. Even the…
AI is like electricity. It may be the “product” you think you are selling. But it isn’t the product people are buying. People are buying what these things facilitate (lights, tvs, air conditioning, etc in the case of…
Yes! I have a similar reaction. I often think of Jack Vance’s “Eyes of the Overworld”. They hid the reality of a decaying world behind a fabulous facade.
Interesting read. Given what was covered and tradition notwithstanding, I think “Trump Class” (apart from being an oxymoron) is a perfect designation: - oversized - completely lacking in style - not technically capable…
As you are in Australia you might get somewhere if you lodge a complaint with Consumer Affairs https://www.accc.gov.au/ And there are also separate bodies for each state.
It’s because their thoughts are Roman while they are always Russian to Finnish things. Kenya believe it! Anyway, I’m done here. Abyssinia.
Douglas Crockford addressed this many years ago: write your human readable config with comments and run it through a pre-processor to strip them out before handing the config to a JSON parser. Seems like almost no one…
When I visited Tokyo one of the highlights for me was the sound of Takadanobaba station playing the theme from Astro Boy.
From reading the comments you would think this article was actually about cars.
I love the punchline: the computer eventually worked out that the sofa could never have gotten into that spot in the first place. Adams always brought me joy!
I skimmed the article hoping for a reference to Adams or Dirk Gently.
Australia is about the same except around the ceiling we call it a cornice.
When you realise the song is about vampires there’s no way this ever goes back on any “worst song” list.
