The abstract concept of ORM is fine, unfortunately the particular ORMs we use suffer from pretending all objects and their relationships exist in RAM, there's a single instance of every entity and it's always up to date. An abstra

At this point browsers are more complicated than the operating systems we had back when browser+mail was the norm. And I bet Gmail.com running in a modern browser is more complicated than a mail client from that time. As such, browsers are

I find it odd how many schema changes in modern RDBMS must be done on the whole table at once. You can split a table in chunks and recode each chunk gradually in a way which doesn't change the data in it (so no downtime) but removes de

Elon would rather lose 50 billion (and yes that includes what he owes the bank and his co-investors) than admit defeat. He sees his "genius who makes no mistakes, it's all 6D chess" image as his primary money maker.

I realize yes. And do you realize if you'll be using keyboard and mouse you may as well not literally wear a computer *on your head*? Are you aware of displays? They can support themselves. On desks. Or wall mounts. Compared to Vision

None of what I said is restricted to the current state of LLMs. I was speaking very broadly about the nature of AI in our world, and going back to the creation of DNA...

Maybe, but not in terms of needing code. You see, the rules of formal languages that encode formal rules of system constraints pre-date computers by centuries. Think of math proofs, for example. Sure, we can encode symbols as emojis, or geo

Do you recall the wave of people breaking their TVs with the Nintendo Wii controllers? I'd expect a similar wave of people breaking their expensive Vision Pros if they try cooking with one. It's a terrible idea. First, most kitche

Great example how AI can be given few partially opposing constraints and told "find me a common subset that fully satisfies both". This thing would take a person weeks of tweaking to get right.

I'm a kind fella usually, but this article was criminally stupid.

My sci-fi theory is that the boycott freed up so much unused RAM and CPU at their datacenter that it went into meltdown.

AI doesn't have a problem with bias. It is bias. It's how it works, it is its nature. I find it very interesting also that when faced with these biases, we think the AI is wrong, instead of looking at the society it reflects. Ther

Calling his Tesla stock "savings" and using market cap to determine its liquid purchase power is astoundingly ignorant. Tell me, if you have, say, 100 million in savings, and you spend 20 million, does the remainder magically shri

Oh it will be. Already everyone can program, be a voice artist, draw paintings, write poems, and what not. The actual skills will be lost, because cheap and quick beats depth and intent. Basically every time.

And yet they bought a recruiting company to the tune of 30 million a month ago. Clearly Elon doesn't even have the decency to file for bankruptcy. He'll following the Trump book. Bold claims, bouncing checks, blaming everyone else

We don't like it, but he keeps testing his power and getting his way. Sometimes I don't even know how. But truth is law and order stop applying when you have power or wealth.

Let me clue you in: it's not that simple. If Google simply "dumps them", then Twitter will sue back with arbitrarily large damages, which far outweigh the money Twitter owes to Google. It all hinges on details of their contra

Can someone explain what the heck EXACTLY is Vercel without the marketing gobledygook about how they empower frontend developers to follow their inspiration at the speed of thought and so on BS.

The block feature IS going away. Let me fill you in on the entire story so far: 1. Elon introduces Twitter Blue $8 subscriptions and announces that when enough Blue subscribers block someone, the victim will be rank demoted for the entire s

Think of it as threads stepping over each other modifying and reading the same mutable state, vs threads that work in their own sandbox and share mostly immutable state. The former require a lot more alignment and synchronization. Software

This entire over-monetization of Twitter is so pathetic, that it's giving me NFT vibes. Instead of millions of variations of bored apes, we have here a business model incentivizing millions of stupid hot takes, stolen memes, and clickb

Your comment reads like you have no idea what's happening, you just wanted to complain about something.

by BulgarianIdiot 3y ago
Absolutely. Of course how many people you can control depends on the nature of their work and and your mutual communication. Say I bet one could control directly more, say, sanitary workers, than software developers.

Elon didn't simply fire middle managers. Zuckerberg's statement is just another example of public figures hearing and saying what benefits them personally. So I guess Zuckerberg wanted to make it comfortable for himself to fire mi

Imagine being closed in a black box, and all you have as input is someone passing you written instructions through a small window. You can't see who is giving you the instructions. They're always on the same paper, same font, size
