Maybe it's just a secret cabal of rogue agents downloading LibreOffice for no particualr reason whatsoever? I mean there is a precedent already: those fellas hijacked some poor wiki.
In many (most?) companies it also takes nontrivial amount of time to patch potentially affected systems. In my company half IT department got recently an email that we need to urgently patch all Windows servers because…
Later on he gives an example of Blackboard software that was very disliked. So I don't see what was unique in his perspective either. To me this article is not very focused and feels mostly like rambling. The core idea…
Sure. I don't give a damn about them. But Phil Collins man. I love reviewing his body of work before I get worked up. Obvously we cannot cut him, because I need him. So how do you decide what to leave out?

I have problems reconciling this story with the Amazon one from few days ago. If we take both for truth doesn't that basically imply Amazon researchers got scared by the ‘Fix this code’ prompt first and then spooked the…
Agentic engineering? Vibe coding? That is so yesterday. Chain-of-thought flow is where it is at now. You heard it here first folks. Early examples of such phenomena include Rube Goldberg machines
https://x.com/i/status/2053560589327180255 I sense a pattern emerging.
Are you suggesting intelligent design got us here?
Not really convinced by the first graph (and following too). According to it on a 10 year old project developers only manage to spend 10% of their available time adding features because rest is consumed by maintenance?…
Got it. Vibe coding is all about the end result, damned be the way we got there. So I assume agentic engineering must be the opposite here? Don't care what we will cook. If I get a calculator while asking for integrator…
Caring about what? I could slap an application and say I vibe coded it or I could equally claim I agentically engineered it. No one could tell the difference(if there is any) without seeing the code. The only thing you…

I don't have a problem with AI assistance either, but this undermines the point the article is making. For me it is like a priest preaching gay sex is wrong and then being caught in bed with a male prostitute (snorting…
He writes 2,253 candidates and 2,069 were disqualified. 184 were qualified, so 1 in 12 was considered competent.
Asking ChatGPT about safety of someone traveling instead of asking that person is the nerdy thing to do. Somehow a hairstylist doesn't invoke image of a nerd in me. That is why I find this story implausible.
Agreed. Lead main source in nature is galena, which is relatively nontoxic. It rarely occurs in metallic form.
The fire started on 26th September and news about it reached HN only now. I think this is telling how disruptive for South Korea daily life this accident really was.
Reminds me of one of the stupidest hacks I discovered (In my mind). In one of my previous companies we had many similar Lotus Notes databases and one of them didn't allow to copy text from it. You could paste, I'm sure.…
I'm sceptical a layperson will understand or care what it means that their data will be used in training. If you are concerned about such things this heavily implies you don't want to share your data. Just don't agree…
Exactly. This is a basic optimization technique and all the dinosaur era databases should have that. But if you build a new database product you have to implement these techniques from scratch. There is no way you…
