It’s not a helpful comparison because it’s too early. If the first iPhone went away, no one would care. Once software is rearchitected around AI, it will look a lot different. Your phone won’t need UIs that are as complex, because we can ju

AI reduces the thinking time, too. And most of my time is spent either thinking or coding.

It’s not cargo culting, it does make a difference and there are papers on arxiv discussing it. The trouble is that it’s hard to tell whether it’ll help or hurt - telling it to act as an expert in one field may improve your result, or may ma

Because to a 20 year old who is worried about getting a job, the value of getting all A’s and learning less is higher than getting all B’s and learning more.

Are you just mapping a text file of status codes to a single template? None of them are any different? Why make all of them instead of just showing the 404 page?

Try asking it a question you know has never been asked before. Is it parroting?

What do they do when they turn 15, realize they, say, have no sex drive, but have been on anti depressants for years and cannot take a break from life in order to now learn the emotional regulation skills they should have developed from 7-1

I’ve also found Dr Amen’s “types” of ADHD the most helpful way of understanding how ADHD affects people differently. When I had my brain scanned, it was explained to me that ADHD isn’t a matter of lack of willpower or distraction - when you

It doesn’t matter whether it’s wrong as long as the ideas it comes up with are good or interesting, which they often are.

Great point, one that I think gets missed when you write code for a living and are comfortable with the ecosystem. But I remember when I was getting started making projects - even figuring out what I needed to google to get unblocked could

Your anger about his comment suggests that it actually is about pride and identity. I simply don’t buy that most people here argue against AI because they’re worried about software quality and lowering the user experience. It’s the same arg

No one said artificial neurons are “less powerful.” They just work differently, and the way we “train” them is much less efficient and extensible. So of course there’s value in trying to understand how our language mechanisms work.

It’s interesting seeing splay trees mentioned in a post about “challenging algorithms and data structures.” They were taught in our undergrad algorithms class by one of the inventors (Sleator) along with a rant about how frustrated he was w

You might not have seen this pattern before, but annotating values with units as types is a legitimate approach. There’s a whole chapter about it in the book Software Design for Flexibility by Gerald Sussmann, the author of Structure and In

I think this is a little disingenuous. It’s not that the type system makes highly abstract/generic code difficult, it’s more that the specific ways people are used to writing that type of code in dynamically typed languages doesn’t len

If UX is the sum totality of the experience of all users of the system, it can be significantly better for most users but worse for a small number. I’ve never used the app so I have no idea, I’m just saying UX is more than accessibility, so

I’m pointing out the fallacy of the argument as a devils advocate.

The UX can be better and the accessibility worse.

Keeping an existing customer is significantly less expensive than acquiring new customers. It has more to do with expected churn rate for customers and the cost to improve service not making up for the expected reduction in churn.

That’s simply not true. It’s generally a matter of corporate dysfunction, not active sabotage.

I’m not sure what exactly has changed - I feel like software development has been mostly stagnant since the 80s. Most everything web-dev wise is just rehashed ideas from 30-40 years ago, so I doubt they have too much to catch up on.
