The article didn't do a good job explaining the 120% attention angle, I kept reading waiting for that and it never really came. I definitely had the impression it was heavily using…

It's not really political. Or let me rephrase possibly yt-dl is being political. VUT the concept of 'not adopting a core dependency until it has been widely used in production for …

I don't think it's helpful to call this psychosis. N Beyond that I don't think it's even irrational. It is definitely factual that there is a complete paradigm shift in the priorit…

Generally agree with this stance case in point: the breakthrough in ai coding was not that AI intelligence increased as much as that a lot of the core process execution moved out o…

Didn't the US use some weapon that essential causes the same thing as Havana Syndrome?

This again? In general, Software Engineering is not engineering. It's not a technical issue, it's a 'software doesn't really kill people so government doesn't intervene in it'. In …

I don't think the title and the article really communicates it's case well. Did not understand the goal until 90% through the article when they showed the source code of RCL with t…

I upvoted this, because while it was critical it didn't feel meanspirited and it was factually correct. After fully reading the article I came to understand it really was not refer…

Ultimately the important thing is that the development team align on the style of programming that they will use at least per project. And the larger the codebase and more develope…

I don't think 'gentrification' is the right word for this. However the comments here do illustrate an underlying 'real' phenomenon what ever you call it. Just for clarity: - Non-Ja…

I am not knocking the article but seems like if you are going to dedicate the effort of learning quick mental math it's probably more efficient to 'just' know how to multiple 2 dig…

The ABC approach written about her seems good to me, but I still think of this as abstraction. I get that this is a 'zero' or 'low cost' abstraction but it's still an abstraction. …

This is valid thought process BUT Altman is not going to come back without the other faction being neutered. It just would not make any sense.

numerous things, for one much much greater likely hood of getting caught.

Good for you? Different people have different challenges, I salute you for standing up to yours. I don't think you should change your mind on this, the feeling of sticking to you '…

Trying to understand why this is necessary? LLMs cannot reliably generate valid Jason?

Article doesn’t really present an argument. Pretty much starts with ‘you don’t want the cost and complexity’ and then goes on from that point as a given. A more useful article woul…

I think there is a minimum floor that should be allocated to this kind of work. It doesn’t make sense to clean everything to a perfect condition but there should be some amount of …

But you are not actually retired. Seems more in line with what the article is saying.

This to me is what killed delivery as a service. It doesn’t work even when they are charging what works out to be double the salary the restaurant pays its own delivery people. And…

Well the thing is studies are not really for media or lay people, or even researchers/scientists out of a given field.

I think outside of the formal logic space the concept of invariants still are core to programming. Many different strategies such as pure functions, unit tests, type systems, isola…

Comics just are too expensive to target a young child audience, and as such their story lines reflect that… basically only comic hero with big money behind them aimed at kids is sp…

'succeed' is kinda loaded here. Your really talking about world best, in that I agree the people who are world best are gonna have to have some innate ability to handle the pressur…

This is basic concept of the free market. it is valid to reject this concept. The free market is basically a religion in the US. However if you reject this ideal which is the weste…
