Musk is doing what he's always done: making outrageous promises/predictions that won't come true but sound like science fiction to lure the uneducated into investing. * The hardware is outdated quickly and putting it in space

In my experience, most businesses are running some portion of their operations in spreadsheets. More importantly: they don't want to change. They're running things out of spreadsheets because that represents the technical skills t

I doubt the question you want answered is, "Does Sam Altman know how to code?" The simple answer is: he has written code at some point in his life and at some basic level he knows "how to code" but probably hasn't c

I hate ads. I use an ad-blocker, I've abandoned Chrome so I can effectively block ads on Youtube, and I avoid ad riddled services like television (ad-free streaming or piracy for me, thanks). I propose people promote their products on

The paradigms from different programming languages aren't always compatible. The differences in those paradigms are the strengths and weaknesses that make languages better or worse for various applications. It's hard for me to ima

Huh... I never thought about it like that. I had no interest in using OpenClaw, but my coworkers are extremely dumb and inconsistent. OpenClaw might be comparable.

If you pursue this, be aware that consumers are tired of AI and don't believe it works well. You need to show that it's "insights" are reliable, accurate, and useful. If you're stuck in traffic, stressed out because

I'm not going to argue against engineers using AI coding tools to write boilerplate code faster. I certainly think it's a useful tool for that. But outside of that context, it's problematic to argue that "you can't

I certainly expect Tesla to use the cameras on their cars for similar purposes if they haven't already. Although I would expect them to distance themselves from it by selling the location data 'in aggregate' to another compan

It's been overshadowed by Python which has a sexier image because it isn't associated with Microsoft. It certainly doesn't help that in the beginning C# was a Windows only language tied to the .NET framework. It's taken

Every time I see an article like this I'm frustrated by the positive spin they put on an environmentally irresponsible and unsustainable practice.

It is not obvious what you're supposed to do. From just trying things randomly, I think the objective is to get each numbered square to 'claim' or 'path into' as many empty squares as the number shows. That is, if y

I don't want to defend Docker because I'm not a fan, but I can tell you that as a dev the appeal is controlling the environment instead of specifying it. Lots of Docker fans don't think about what version of libc or java is i

This is intriguing. What are you discussing in the 15 minute phone call? Do you spend any time probing their coding knowledge? Before the phone call, are you looking for examples of their work in open source or public repos?

Huh. In 20 years of using gmail I can't remember ever seeing a phishing email in my inbox (they're all filtered out as spam so I never see them). I'm curious what's led to our different experiences.

0. You're spot on: data centers almost exclusively run Linux. 1. CUDA runs well on Linux, but it's not real clear to me what you're asking in the second half of this question. CUDA is an SDK and driver that nvidia produces so

To me that sounds like sophistry (unintentional or not). Wikipedia summarizes it nicely: "Sophistry" is today used as a pejorative for a superficially sound but intellectually dishonest argument in support of a foregone conclusion

It's interesting that you worded that question differently in your title and post because I certainly see people take credit when it works, but blame the AI when it fails.

I don't know why you would want to let someone use an AI when taking an IQ test. There's already debate about how useful IQ tests are for measuring intelligence. Letting someone use an AI during the test would just further muddy t

The Trump administration doesn't need a lab leak (theory or evidence) to rewrite history. They rebranded Jan 6 as a heroic act of patriotism without any kind of evidence to support their claims. Propaganda doesn't need facts or ev

I think you should reach out to science and education influencers. At very least they can give you site feedback. If they like it, you might find opportunities to promote the site. I'd be interested to see what Tom Scott says (see his

Many aren't. For many it's just a job and they'd happily take a job in another field with better pay and benefits. But that's not super common right now. For the last 20 years dev jobs have been some of the cushiest avai
