    I think the author didn't want to go too in depth for the sake of simplicity, very similar to the blog post itself, which just hit the surface. That being said, many more dimension…

    I agree that many assumptions are made, but the concept was presented well in combination with something most people can relate to. They mention in the Acknowledgements section at …

    I don't think picking sides is helpful here at all, but I do agree with you that we are more than likely screwed. The average left or right leaning American has no idea how a bond …

    A mathematics book that was once on the front page here said the same. Mathematica by David Bessis.

    Cbus has been designated as the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest" in recent years, and the prices have reflected. Fortunately, you can make FAANG or coastal money if you have the rig…

    Almost every conversation I've had over the years goes two ways: "Why do you care so much about ? If you have nothing to hide, why are you so concerned?" Or: "Why do you care so mu…

    I know this is anecdotal, but my engineering graduate program at a well known private university in the NE had roughly 300 graduates, more than half of them on student visas. I fee…

    I competed at a professional level in motorsports and had a lot of momentum in my 20s. It felt as though I was headed to the top of the sport, but it came to an abrupt end from a r…

    I went from big tech to a team of four at a small org. To work uninhibited and with close to zero speed bumps from management has been life changing for me and my stress levels. We…

    I volunteered down there for a week when that happened. I think the only thing we used our phones for was a picture here and there. Otherwise, complete darkness. Despite the obviou…

    I would agree that the insights provided are little to none. I think this is some sort of fallacy that being being PR'd by tech bros with a lot of skin in the game attempting to co…

    > One of my projects was a vibe-coded implementation of JavaScript in Python—a loose port of MicroQuickJS—which I called micro-javascript. You can try it out in your browser in thi…

    I'm guessing the reason is probably the sex allegations. I don't see a graduating class that probably used an LLM for every single homework assignment boo'ing a speech because of A…

    Wish I had you at my first engineering job at IBM. A couple senior devs there (not all) would get pissed when juniors tried asking them questions. Not only did it take a bit of cou…

    Many things at my software engineering job are like this, which require constantly changing human institutional knowledge that is almost always undocumented, or changing so quickly…

    Anecdote, a close family member of mine is a director of arts for a very large city in the US. They typically install/uninstall at night - she's told me this is especially importan…

    It's no Super SNES emulator, but Claude has had a bit of trouble porting an old VB Net application I had from 15 years ago to a newer web framework.

    LinkedIn was already bad enough, but now it's really bad. 98% of posts are LLM generated, and the few software engineering jobs posted are getting over 100 applicants in 30 minutes…

    It's from the ground up at this point. I'm in my last Master's course at a very well known and expensive private university in the Northeast. When we have presentations it sometime…

    I'm not sure what there is to prove wrong. You are biased and have a heart at war against Christianity. There is no way I will convince you of anything. This is a very common bias …
