By the same measure, of an llm really sucks we stop using it, same solution

fwiw I think there’s no valuable distinction. Both take in their learnings and evaluation an output. It’s even pretty common for us humans to hallucinate outputs. Remember that restaurant we went to in Rome where we had pizza? No, it was Pa

I just can’t fathom this. If I was asked to design a lunar lander… “if it falls over, it’s fucked”, wouldn’t make the cut.

I use ai “voraciously” coding every day. Even the best models are not very good. I found that if something is hard to do it’s because it’s not documented properly, and therefore it’s not in the data anyway so the model can’t out, just guess

That’s wildly inaccurate to the point of trolling so I’ll leave it there

I’m old too and have been doing this just as long. What’s the most impactful task for the business right now? What’s the feedback from the sales team? What tickets are coming into customer support? What are our competitors doing? What do th

When we eventually nail agi, I think we will look at llm’s as nothing more than the interface to ai, how we interact with it, but we won’t consider it to be ai.

There’s something sad about how basic this is compared to say FrontPage (so shoot me) which was oh ~25 years ago.

Ignore those handbooks they’re selling you snake oil. The original agile manifesto though is still valid. Guiding principles is all you need

Software is made to a price just like other products. Great software takes time and skill, like other great products.

Presumably “scraped” isnt the right term here. They already have the raw data, they Won’t be “scraping “ it from the website they’ll just be investing it from where they store it

In Orkney (north east Scotland) they have the sanding stones of Stennes. Not nearly as impressive as Stonehenge but also not surprising there’s some connection.

You’re right. We shouldn’t try to improve what we are doing now.

It’s pretty cool. Definitely not a world first. Not even a HN first, I’ve seen these posted occasionally over the year. Still like it though!

Because it’s not just about configuration, it’s also about reputation and a low sending volume you are in danger of getting dropped merely out of not being a well known sender

I’ve always found it a little naive. Sure, day 1 of a new job you are not going to be as good as you are 2 years later. Seems like a normal part of growth.

The proble with that is, it’s very hard to moderate. It’s more addictive than alcohol but doesn’t come with the stigma or controls

“responsible agi” is a bit of an oxymoron imho. It’s like giving birth to a human, you can prepare it, train it, guide it, and tell it what not to do, but eventually that human becomes entirely accountable for their own actions

Isn’t the elephant in the room that many people don’t want EV’s too work. And many of those people s are auto execs.

It is, agree. Imho in most cases the right answer is to build it to not require that kind of clock synchronisation

Maybe this is counter-zeitgeist, but managers are just people like you and me. As you get “higher” up the org, you get further and further away from action/result. But you can see more. The narrative around “why don’t managers just let

Most of the things that make you a more “senior engineer” are not getting better at writing code. It’s a social endeavour and you’re a bigger lever when you grow outside that small circle.

I imagine it could. Something for it to contend with though is that our published media, soap operas, reality tv, so and so, don’t really reflect what we humans are like in real life. They’re caricatures of us.
