Even with the same model results are different. I work in a startup where they went bonks with AI ~1 year ago. Every employee got a Claude account that I don’t even know what tier is (we just have what feels like unlimited tokens), they imp

Agree that it isn’t nice to just copy & paste, but the assumption that your AI generated answers will the same of someone’s else is wrong. Everyone using AI for a while built a different set of preferences, memories and context in gener

AI is here to stay. Like it or not. We will still see several reports of over adoption, mistakes, regression… all will only serve to learn, refine, and hopefully regulate. I think it’s pretty naive to expect the entire world will simply dis

In Claude Code, it always shows the diff between current and proposed changes and I have to explicitly allow it to actually modify the code. Doesn’t that “fix” the copy-&-paste issue?

Real reason is humans are way too optimistic in planning and, for some reason, tend to overlook even more rare, but catastrophic risks. I’m almost sure that the system had some sort of local replication and versioning that was enough to dea

Would it switch the lights if you’re only listening with headphones while your camera is open? Most of my awkward moments happened with family members casually cruising on my background while someone else had the word. Usually they can hear

You are right. My comment wasn’t meant to completely invalidate the point of the article or to provide an alternative exhaustive list of causes, but more to bring this other aspect that I felt wasn’t surfaced yet.

A good part of that is a disguised sense of superiority. Life becomes way lighter when you realize other people are also smart and what you’re “fixing” can very likely be: - something so unimportant that no one felt it was worthy working on

Well, from outside it seems that the list of friendly nations keep getting smaller and smaller… and good luck replacing the vast majority of your supply chain with local workers. Just look where all the products you currently have were made

Iceberg has the hdfs catalog, which also relies only on dirs and files. That said, a catalog (which Delta also can have) helps a lot to keep things tidy. For example, I can write a dataset with Spark, transform it with dbt and a query engin

I share the sentiment, and I also get downvoted every time I post something on those lines here. Only thing that can make you even less popular is saying that using cloud services can make sense depending on your priorities. =D

Truth lies somewhere in between. It's also a generalization to think everything related to the “evil-nation” postulation is nothing beyond a conspiracy theory. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Edit: quoted evil-nation si

Title could be “Nobody cares about the same things that I do”. Or simply “Nobody agrees with me”, which also would be exaggerated, but slightly less myopic.

Cost isn’t always the most important metric. If that was the case, people would always buy the cheapest option of everything.

There’s this theory that systems often thrive at the expense of its individual parts… I guess this is one of such examples.

I’ve been using ad blockers for years now, mainly on DNS level. Last week I decided to test Apple’s private relay and for 5 minutes I had to deal with internet with ads. Disgusting experience.

Thank you for this comment. I feel that I have been operating in the same mode of your former manager and never considered how this could be as harmful as being too direct.

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for 2 years. Did a bunch of different protocols and eventually settled on ~18:6. Lost around 15kgs (from 105 to 90) and as a nice “side effect” got rid of all skin problems that I’d had during the previo
