It's funny when these executives, on one side, will happily lay people off, implement attrition policies, or engage in morally-questionable behaviors, all with the purpose of maximize profits, while on the other hand blame the employee

So, business as usual? The mighty have always influenced the less powerful. The US has just as much incentive to influence European elections, as do Russia or China. It's not surprising that they act on these incentives.

Also, in one of their points they argue that, in the case of non-programmers, the more domain expertise one brings to the table, the higher the chances of a successful outcome. Well sure, but what's the quality of the output? Someone w

Not exactly overthinking, more like misinterpreting. Claude is not a person. LLMs don't think, want, feel, or have any kind of inner experience whatsoever. They just generate words (or tokens, to be more precise) based on a complex sta

Your line of thinking rests on the assumption that "AI enables machines to understand English", but this is false. AI, or more precisely LLMs, are a class of algorithms that take a string as input, and return a new string generate

It's called anchoring, and it's a negotiation tactic. Also extensively used in marketing.

Small startup. I don't use a laptop. I prefer work/home separation, so I use a workstation, and I'm in the office 5 days a week. I have three screens attached to my PC. A main 27" (slightly curved) screen in the middle,

It's a bit of an over-generalization, though. Tech stack matters more and more, the larger a project gets, and the more people join it. Some languages and frameworks lend themselves better at long-term maintainability, as the code base

There are a few layers to this problem. They're not entirely wrong about developments in AI-assisted coding – it is progressing quickly. But for now, LLMs doing "any software engineer job" is still far off. At least in the wa

Why is everything so far in this thread worded in past tense? It feels like you're all talking about a long closed chapter of history.

I thought I was depressed, but recently realised that I’m actually feeling off because of long COVID symptoms. The brain fog is pretty much constant, and I’m definitely more forgetful and confused than I used to be. There are some cardiac s

Weird post, could be misleading to others. You really don't need "multiple terabytes of SSD storage" to run Llama 3.1 70B. All you need is about 40GB for the model weights. Plus the tooling around it, which is assumed you&#x2

I don't see absolutely any incentive for a company to spend more on tracking technologies (whatever their nature may be) in order to lower their profit. So guess who gets the proverbial shaft in this equation?

Couldn't agree more. And I say this as a developer that uses LLMs in my day-to-day work.

I guess I missed the news about the license change. We still use it in production in my startup, but now I'm considering migrating to something else. After a quick google search, there seem to be a bunch of alternatives, but this one f

"[...] async should be the hot cake compared to synchronous programming. But that doesn't work out in practice for some reason. If that really were the case, 80% of web apps would have been powered by Node instead of PHP today, ri

Well done. You just realized that ownership is only a concept, i.e. it doesn't exist in the physical world.

The author doesn't even mention the fact that 1 B (byte) = 8 b (bit), which is, at least partly, causing the phenomenon.

It varies wildly. In my experience, for a small company with limited resources, they are often more a burden than a boon. It is a good way, though, of finding worthwhile candidates to hire. Unfortunately, that tends to happen quite rarely.

I think that you are being misleading when you keep hammering the privacy aspect. Yes, end-to-end encryption means that only the people participating in the conversation can decrypt the messages. But as Annie, the service built by you, is

I am starting to believe that this is, most likely, the best way out of a lot of the mess we find ourselves in, in the modern digital world. We, the laypeople, are under scrutiny in so many ways, our lives being recorded all the time. The b
