In retrospect I really think it was a deliberate plan by IBM and Sun to turn software development into such an awful, impenetrable quagmire that they would be the only ones who could build and maintain any system.
What if we're actually running in a slop decomp of the simulation...
This is from March 2026, but it does match what I've encountered professionally. Code review was always a significant bottleneck and is even more so with agentic coding. We've had discussions about leaning more on…
"Wind and solar power could significantly exceed Britain’s energy needs" - 2023 https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-09-26-wind-and-solar-power-co...
On the other hand we'll probably see a lot more fully vibecoded projects gaining traction, because of the rate at which they can move once human design and review gets taken out of the equation. For example, I recently…
Very funny. Although ironic that this whole library was built with AI.
Unless they roll-back women's rights and improvements in child mortality, societies will need to radically overhaul their entire relationship to supporting parenthood in order to reverse this trend. The economic costs…
The author apparently wrote a book arguing that “near death experiences” prove there probably is an afterlife. I’m not sure he’s in any position to be lecturing anyone about delusions.
AI company leaders didn't invent this concern about the potential dangers of AI, either as a cause of economic disruption, or as a potential extinction risk. Superintelligence was published in 2014, and even then it…
My understand was that was in relation to IP licensing. Microsoft got access to anything OpenAI built unless they declared they had developed AGI. This new article apparently unlinks revenue sharing from technology…
What do you think chain of thought reasoning is doing exactly?
That’s why you need filler words that contribute little to the sentence meaning but give it a chance to compute/think. This is part of why humans do the same when speaking.
Something they don’t seem to mention in the article: Does greater model “enjoyment” of a task correspond to higher benchmark performance? E.g. if you steer it to enjoy solving difficult programming tasks, does it…
Anti-AI articles like this seem to be the new "Doing my part to resist big tech: Why I'm switching back from Chrome to Firefox" genre that popped up on HN for a decade or so. If it makes you feel better, great, but…
Responsive accordions are actually solved using CSS nowadays, but plenty of other things aren't, and the web has definitely needed an API or library like this for a long, long time. So it's great that we now have it.…
Doesn't seem relevant here. TurboQuant isn't a domain-specific technique like the BL is talking about, it's a general optimisation for transformers that helps leverage computation more effectively.
Sure thing, here's a report from the Greater London Authority tracking the history of air quality in the city since the "Great Smog" event 1952, which caused an estimated 4000 deaths.…
Which cities are you referring to? Some cities have policies that discourage gas and diesel cars, and plans to outlaw them by 2030, but I'm not aware of any that have banned them outright yet.
Would you say someone suffering from locked-in syndrome is of a different order of intelligence due to their no longer having a fully embodied experience?
Standard CEO: "I'll do anything to hire more skilled workers, except pay them a reasonable wage."
And all those 5 remaining dependencies have lots of dependencies of their own. What's your point?
Don't they? I just went to crates.io and picked a random newly updated crate, which happened to be pixelfix, which fixes transparent pixels in pngs. It has six dependencies and hundreds of transient dependencies, may of…
Linus named Linux after himself, it can't be good!
Any new regulation the EPA introduces results in litigation. Some of the previously introduced PFAS regulations weren't done in accordance with how the Safe Drinking Water Act says they should be (regulations were…
While it's a different niche, the worry for YouTube is that younger viewers generally consume a lot of short form video. They might eventually shift to watching more long form content as they get older, but if they're…
