Hell, Google pays Junior Engineers less than that in Bangalore.

Could you give me an example differentiating detail oriented work vs analysis oriented work?

I was shopping for washing machines last summer and looking at huge "AI" stickers on the more expensive ones gave me a headache.

I'd imagine it'd be a reasonable tradeoff for disabled people who can't use their hands.

As someone who's still learning English, this is one thing I'd never use AI for, at least not in the near future, simply because thinking and structuring my thoughts before typing is the same as it is before speaking and actually

Phrasing, I wasn't blaming anyone, just curious about the technicalities.

Couldn't that also cause glitches since optimizations meant for HL2 might not work for, say San Andreas? I understand some optimizations might be universal but I can't help but think about unexpected behavior.

> to rename the game executable to hl2.exe This seems genuinely unbelievable. Does anyone have a technical explanation for this?

That's what all the Physicists tell me.

I always think about how relatively bug-free older games like GTA San Andreas are, since if they ship with some game breaking bug it's pretty much permanent. You could say this about software in general, but with games, especially non-

AGI in the next 20 years is more likely than all the roads in my country getting fixed anytime in the future.

I'm curious, do you have an example?

I think that's the best thing they could have done as a company. Sounds like the end-user first philosophy is still there.

"Citizens United" might be the most ironic name in the history of western democracy.

I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. Good chance that a few students that cheated or at the least used AI in a major capacity to graduate, still booed when that former Google CEO brought up AI at the graduation speech

Auto-complete on steroids, is still my favorite analogy for AI. I don't mean that in a negative way either. Autocomplete is very good, but that never stopped me from learning English grammar and spelling.

I haven't read the study, but I wonder if one reason comprehension went down was because of over-reliance on AI among students.

How good is AI integration in Apple products? Did they drop the ball as hard as Microsoft did? I naively assumed a few years ago that Microsoft could pull it off perfectly because they had more than enough in terms of resources & engine

I guess an optimistic way to look at this would be to treat this as just another layer of abstraction, meaning people could focus on larger scale problems moving forward, similar to how the evolution of programming languages influenced deve

I wonder how Steve Jobs would've reacted to this GenAI boom. He constantly talked about the intersection of Humanities and tech, as well as fostering creativity by pushing people to their limits (for the better or worse), so I don&#x27

I share your aversion to modern marketing tactics, but by your logic, programmers that develop the addictive social media algorithms are the meth cooks. Everyone is complicit. Modern day "tech bros" get a significantly worse rep t

You don't have to be able to vibe code an entire business from scratch to know that the technology behind AI is significantly more impressive than VR, crypto, web3 etc. What the free version of ChatGPT can do right now, not just coding

AI development/research is far too modular and globalized to be regulated, or have regulation have any sizeable impact on its progress, assuming it's even possible to properly define clearly, "limits that shouldn't be cr

Aren't most interviews like this? Most dev openings I see posted mention the specific language who's expertise they're looking for and the number of years of experience needed working with said language as well. It can be ann

by limflick 1y ago
I think the point is that it's more about trial and error, and less about blindly winging it. When you don't know how a system seems to work, you latch on to whatever seems to initially work and proceed from there to find patterns
