My first impressions and thoughts on the presentation speak to the need for human mathematicians to accept, absorb, and understand new AI-generated proofs—and to the fact that it takes time to do so, as well as the increasing burden of sort

Josh Collinsworth paints an accurate picture here, and he’s not wrong. People will be hurt by the displacement and disruption that new technology brings, not just AI. It has been happening since humans first picked up stones and sharpened

I was going to mention Yegge's recent blog posts mirroring this phenomena. There's also this article on hbr.org https://hbr.org/2026/02/ai-doesnt-reduce-work-it-intensifies... This is a real thing, and i

It's a tough game for Perplexity as long as they use Google's search, and with Google now providing "AI Summaries," and with the whole ad ecosystem (invented by Google) designed to turn us into predictable consuming robo

Reading these comments after falling asleep to SNL sketch re-runs. They all sound oddly sarcastic and ironic.

Good article. I, too, am fascinated by calculators and how they work, especially the HP scientific RPN calculators. So much so, that I ended up developing this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim

Reading down further I see this is a follow-up to "40 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know". So, is this new book the same 40 algorithms from the prior book with 10 added? If so, perhaps the real book could be called "The

The android app wants full access to the file system? With the "trust us, we'll only really access the folder you tell us to..."? Am I reading that right?

It's like Game of Thrones - without the intelligent intrigue.

Wow. I see almost nothing controversial in the McKinsey article. In a nutshell it addresses hard metrics (DORA) gathered via the repo tooling (commits, MRs, etc) which is enhanced with some outcome metrics, and they combine with soft metric

Pair programming can be a productive, even fun, activity in limited situations. Now that we have the option of our pairing partner being human or AI, it sort of highlights a lot of the situations where pair programming is NOT productive, or

I have had a nearly identical experience. Thanks for sharing.

We've reached the point just past the elbow on the Moore's Law graph where things are skyrocketing. Any projections we humans make about the future advancement of AI are hopelessly inaccurate. For example, running a GPT-4 model on

Yep. It was fun while it lasted, but I expect none of the manufacturers will support hacking or mods on these devices in the future because there's too few people doing that compared to the masses they want to sell to, and they have ze

So anyone who has already unlocked their Pixel 2 is good to go right? Getting the latest Pixel unlocked requires an internet connection, but once done it's done. So the complaint is that in the far future the vendor might not support t

ELI5 - everything about a phone only works when the carrier allows it to connect to the network. So, the way this is done is to, well, connect to the network and allow the phone to be unlocked - which according to the article is what happen

Like others responding here, I was lucky to see the LCM just before the pandemic killed it. Truly sad to see it go.

Product description sounds like Luke Skywalker's description of Princess Leia's rescue reward to Han Solo. "More then you can imagine." To which Han replies, "I can imagine quite a lot."

Unfortunately just diagnosed type 2. Can't find Ozempic anywhere due to this crazy drug shortage and off label prescribing.

Main reason would be they have a lot of legacy code written for Oracle. For new projects, the choices are wide open.

The fact that we exist and live is baseline extraordinary. What we do after that is so-called gravy. But seriously. Measuring ourselves against the Einsteins is a path leading nowhere. What you do adds to the universe.

Interesting that summon and auto park will "not be available and will be restored once vision gets parity with the sensors..." Wow. Wondering when that will happen, as I still get phantom braking in odd situations with my 2022 mod

I can only go by my experience in that a passion for making computers do things was the seed. From there it drove a desire to learn more. I don't think most people can sustain the desire without that. It really should be about feeding

I often think what Richard Feynman says "What do you care what other people think?" In general I've found people don't really spend a lot of time dwelling on other people's actions. They have their own problems. We

Severless.com framework has lots of plugins that allow local emulation of AWS services like S3, dynamodb, rds, etc. that your application will be using. It also helps with running debugging remote lambdas and deploying them. There's al

I admit I was being somewhat facesciuos. But clearly If you took credit for the work your computer did running your program, you would probably not get an argument from your computer until the conditions I mentioned were met

Well, presumably, if it is your computer, running your program, using your equipment, you've got the copyright until your computer gains consciousness and a lawyer capable of filing a lawsuit.

Good news. We've found lambdas orchestrated with step functions and properly split out as to function can do a lot of data processing even with the limits you stated before needing to switch over to AWS batch or ECS. Nice to have that
