Time and time again Elysium keeps popping into my mind. It's possible that the elite will control most part of wealth generation, keeping it for themselves. The rest of society will develop an underclass economy and work for each other

That's great. I wish we could convince more people to use similar tools regularly, myself included. It may not 'scale' as well as algorithmic feeds, but maybe that's what will save the Web. We need more sweat and passion

Strange article. Even though I do like music and engineering. >Electromagnetic pickups—(...)—fixed the loudness problem. But they left a new one: the envelope Was it really a problem to be solved? Good tube amplifiers already existed bac

Obviously AI generated article. And the author hasn't made any attempt to disclose it. Take that into consideration. Yet, The Machine has good points. >For someone whose entire career is built on "if it broke, I can find out wh

Honestly, I only use coding agents when I feel too lazy to type lots of boilerplate code. As in "Please write just this one for me". Even still, I take care to review each line produced. The key is making small changes at a time.

I've build a signal injector to debug a guitar pedal that was not working. It was a nice little journey in itself. The astable multivibrator produces so much harmonics that I could hear it all the way back from the input jack, where it

This is the best advise here. OP, I'm sure that life is hitting you hard, but there's some valid criticisms. When we're in angst it subconsciously gets into everything we write, including resumes. You need to sober up. Tailor

Go read a book, contribute to linux kernel, eat a cheeseburger, get in a nice hotel, watch movies, learn to cook, drive though the country, befriend locals, start a wine collection, earn a master's degree, publish papers.. The author

Your argument goes like "If they're really intelligent, they'll think like me." For a true superhuman AI, what you or me think is irrelevant and probably wrong. Cars are still faster than humans, besides evolution.

I don't particularly believe superhuman AI will be achieved in the next 50 years. What I really believe is that we'll get crazier. A step further than our status quo. Slop content makes my brain fry already. Our society will becom

LLMs help bootstrap ideas where developer lack skill. By this very nature, that generated, not totally understood code is the worst thing you can put in production. The fact that it will be put in production by the metric ton is a guarantee

IMHO the benefits are closely related to very fact that it's a hard thing to do. It's hard to go against your will to eat, relax and get entertained all the time. To be able to go against laziness and short term gratification is a

I feel uneasy every time someone casually advocates the use of LLMs for a task. Sounds dirty. Hard to explain.

Voyager must have it's program code written in memory banks. Each code session having a known start address. The code inside the failed memory chip must have been moved to free banks or then less important code was deleted to give room

Besides the debate about microservices being good or bad, it's clear that netflix developers are very passionate about what they do. To me this seems to play a big role in the success of a software product.

That's a habit I may have done way too much in the recent years working from home. It indeed helps organizing thinking, but that come with some disadvantages. Once you get too accustomed, it can... slip out at inappropriate times. Now

I think this is a bad thing for the way it was implemented. Twitter for a brief moment used to work like a Global Broadcast Radio, where everyone could hang out to get a sense of What Is Going On, even if results skewed towards the interest

Monoliths are like heavy trucks. Microservices are like motorcycles. Surely you can delivery 15 metric tons of wood with either of them. You will just need a lot of motorcycles to match capacity. Somehow a big part of industry became conv

I don't believe it will be as a wave, but more like fewer and fewer new job offers being offered as remote. At some point, workers will feel the pressure as remote offers become scarce. This will affect everyone. Even the best have bil

What's the term to describe a ad hominem fallacy towards programming languages? Asked the almighty chat and got this new term: "Code Persona Attack" Python is fine.

It's kind of how playing guitar is nice and all, but majority of players get lazy to stand up and prefer to do it sitting in front of computer.

My theory these days is that indexing services like google are now too big to work properly. There's more and more noise added every time new information is indexed, to the point where strong bias is necessary for it to return relevant

After tinkering for months with a setup like this, I vouch that the best way to play is with a big external drive over usb. Nowadays OPL supports exFat and the occasional FMV stuttering is a small price to pay for the simplicity. It Just Wo
