I think people have outdated ideas on AI code quality. Latest ones (i.e. ones after Claude Opus 4.8) are a game changer. They now write better code than a lot of engineers. They are also able to understand much larger…
have been doing "racing to debug" things with AI for quite some time too. Have to say, before Opus 4.8, there wasn't even a comparison for anything slightly complex. Opus 4.8 has been the turning point though. I am not…
Because 90% of those UIs is written by these new AI models. That is how they are able to churn so much new user facing stuff all the time. The fact that it works at all is proof that these new AI models are actually…
Trend is pretty clear pretty much across all western countries. Even among ones that have supposedly highest quality public education like Norway, Sweden, Germany, etc... People are getting too stuck on US specific…
I think it depends on what counts as doing nothing. Every time I cut my hair, I sit in a chair for ~30minutes silently without doing anything. My barber knows I don't like small talk so he just cuts my hair and that's…
I am surprised to see that there isn't a lot of information about performance regression testing. Correctness testing is important but the way SQLLite is used, potential performance drops in specific code paths or…
Most important property of blockchains is verifiable transparency. That is a huge deal and yes, most financial and government systems would be much better for people if they were built with that type of verifiable…
That is sort of my point. I think "repeatable read" is a fools gold. You think you wont need to do locking, but it is too easy to make incorrect assumptions about what guarantees "repeatable read" provides and you can…
Here is my issue with this. We are assuming you need to read a "consistent snapshot" in some type of real time application. Because if it isn't real time, you can always have those snapshot type of querying on…
I have been advocating for the longest time that "repeatable read" is just a bad idea. Even if implementations were perfect. Even when it works correctly in the Database, it is still very tricky to reason about when…
Funny coincidence, this is also a great way to get ChatGPT to produce correct solutions when it produces incorrect stuff on its first try.
If you have never seen a 10x engineer you either have never worked with truly talented people or you haven’t worked on actual hard problems. There aren’t just 10 or 100x engineers , there are even infinityX engineers…
High availability + uptime is now necessary for any business no matter how small. If you need to run 24/7 available high uptime services you can’t avoid distributed systems one way or another. (Distributed systems vary…
I have been wondering for a while now, how does Forbes still maintain its brand? It has now been at least two decades that it has had close to zero credibility, but somehow in general population it is maintaining its…
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/decentralized-finance/st... Ethereum was dominating TRON until very recently and this does have to do with huge increases in Gas prices on Ethereum
While I am no huge volume arbitrageour/market maker, I actually make a living running arbitrage systems and market making systems specifically for stablecoins. I do consider to know what I am talking about, considering…
Nah, most of USDT is on TRC20 because gas fees are way cheaper there and most of the exchanges support withdrawing USDT using TRC20. So all arbitrageurs, market makers, etc, transfer USDT between different entities…
People who have no idea how crypto markets work always get riled up by these tweets. Contrary to popular belief, there is generally huge demand spike for USDT when crypto market has flash crashes, not other way around.…
I sometimes wonder how many of the commenters actually read the article itself. All the discussion in comments is about residential properties when in the article it clearly says: " Another concern the report outlines…
In case of human rights, what would more advanced mean other than one that is more fair to all humans of a particular society or country? More advanced human rights just simply means more fair human rights, it has…
Honestly curious, which other cultures have more advanced and fairer human rights setup compared to "western civilizations"?
McAfee could easily have had plenty of dirt on ton of powerful people. He would have given up all that info for reducing his sentence in the US. It is not super crazy to think that there would be plenty of people who…
Companies pay different amounts based on the location due to market price differences for software developers not because of differences in cost of living. If you relocate to Zurich or Vancouver from SF, highly likely…
While information is public on blockchains and everyone has same level of access to it, transaction execution is not democratized. The premise of this whole reverse-exploit is that there are people who are extracting…
That makes absolutely no sense. HFT and overall arbitrage games in traditional markets are way more wild and complex than all this.
