We even have the options around in our compilers to treat warnings as errors. As continuation on that idea I for one was lucky earlier in my career to work with the brilliant idea of just asserting in production. Straight up crash the softw

Yeah, I gave up trying to find productivity uses for the copilot in office because of limitations like that.

If I was to speculate, this is the result of "rank n' yank" where the performative productivity is more important than actual productivity. If true it says something about why AI is pushed hard by Microsoft, it make performat

Well, for me it makes a difference. I often get in a sense a "theory of mind" of the other developers when I read other code. I don't get the same thing with AI code.

A feature wasn't 10000 loc written by a AI before that no one except the AI with the context understands. If you review all that to understand it fully your productivity gain diminishes, the gain might not go away fully but it is much

Well you aren't writing the code, the AI is and you are letting the AI debug that created it in the first place and it doesn't learn from the experience in the same way. Hopefully you understand the problem in such a degree that y

I read that as you have never been debugging a production issue at 3am while losing data and/or revenue.

So, they still booked up all the ram and ssd in the world and still going to use gigawatts of power. The price of energy production is not going to go down 20x and 30x it just means that they can cram in more inference on the same energy co

Well from my point of view. When they talk about gigawatt datacenters, then yes it is economically nonviable. You just need to know the scale of a gigawatt to realize that we need to start building power plants and fortifying the power grid

My little anecdote of breaking the spell. Really I might not been truly under the spell, but I had to go far in to my project to loose the "magic" of the code. The trick was simply going back to a slower way of using it with a reg

They have made huge investments into hardware so everyone is getting more expensive hardware, and now begging everyone else to make their investments worthwhile. Don't mind that they are driving up prices for hardware and requiring new

Fun fact about BSTR, it uses memory before the string pointer to store the length. From the CComBSTR documentation from microsoft: "The CComBSTR class is a wrapper for BSTRs, which are length-prefixed strings. The length is stored as a

I'm dumbstruck that Crowstrike exists with George Kurtz still at the helm. There is no accountability at all. Kurtz was CTO of McAfee when their update caused back in 2010. Why does these things keep following him?

When skimming through the report I got to think of the oscillation problem in RIP routing protocol. Although it isn't the same thing, but it shows the complexity of the problem to anyone who thinks there is a single solution to it.

In my view it is about design that requires taste and creativity. Engineering is about function, design is about form. If I build something that solves a problem but if it isn't well designed it can mean that no one actually uses even

Companies do what they always do. It isn't the first time a organization sees something trendy, say that they adopt it and just renames their old processes to with what is trendy and doesn't change one damn thing. It happened with

The scale of paid content is much smaller than the general youtube scale. And they already have a categorization for it. Of course you could lie about the categorization of what you pay to YouTube to show unsuspecting people, but at least y
