The code I see is a lot like the pelicans. All of the code in codebases, good, bad and ugly, is slowly being replaced by whatever level of code ai is currently able to create. All …

Software that had a data moat because it was hard to integrate with or migrate off of will have that moat disappear. A web site is a client now. Building data migration too for all…

They will add flooded streets to the training simulation and this problem will go away. Eventually, the corner cases not in the training simulation will be so corner they basically…

Instagram is gone as well. Everything is fake in different ways. If the video isn't ai generated, then it's influencers acting out a scenario they think will get engagement. I real…

If had to answer this question 2 years ago, I wouldn't have said software was a "don't see it's bad until later" category, with compilers and it needing to actually do something ve…

Yes. They probably are, but it's moderately hard to eat a healthy vegetarian diet if you look at what vegetarian athletes actually eat.

If llms are able to write better code with more declarative and local programming components and tailwind, then I could imagine a future where a new programming language is created…

If a company can align it's business model with user goals, then it can work in the long run. Apple has somewhat aligned it's integrated hardware sales business model with user pri…

I humbly submit '1ndex' and 'ind0x', or '1dx' and 'i0x'.

The selling point software that monitors social media to do support is about brand reputation. If people are saying bad things about your company on social media, then that is hurt…

Are there any successful models that weren't trained with RLHF, or using a system with RLHF. I'm curious if this could be done without a fine tune step that would't meaningfully bi…

This article does a poor job of representing induced demand so it's can't be trusted to critique it. Traffic and congestion is defined by (number of trips) * (distance traveled). S…

Adding a date of travel and checking the scheduled tail number would be much more accurate.

Doing REST microservices is incredibly slow because of the amount of work it is to agree on what a "clean" and "consistent" api looks like for each service. It's just such an endle…

When senior leadership is non-technical, they can't tell when non-customer visible changes are useful or they just have mediocre engineering. They also can't tell when their softwa…

It’s a good version of scrum. There many more bad scrums.

I would guess they monitor tons of metrics for any change to search and any change that reduces ad revenue gets rolled back or reviewed.

I think the author's point is that tracing is a better implementation of both logs and metrics, and I think it's a valid point. * metrics are pre-aggregated into timeseries data, w…

Correct. I'm saying that private insurance is good at insuring uncorrelated risks, like car wrecks, but usually, only the federal government can enable insuring correlated risks. S…

There is an issue with correlated vs uncorrelated risks. This is the reason that only the federal government can offer FDIC insurance for banks and disaster insurance in Florida. W…

I'm a bit late responding, but I'll answer anyway. I did read the article and believe I am disagreeing with the author's core point. In the roofing example, the roof installer is p…

Do you have any examples of deploying to Kubernetes with something you consider real tools? I agree with what you are saying but have found very few real world companies using real…

Exactly. Good products and companies are abstractions that allow a homeowner to not have to learn about shingles. The roofer should definitely understand what shingles are going to…

I really appreciated the economist view of parenting as trade-offs and acceptable risk she presents. The way medical information is communicated to general public is very binary an…
