I'm not sure that's a valid analogy. Light, composition and creativity are all experienced directly by viewer, and essentially describe what it is that we notice and appreciate in …

>It's entirely possible they don't have the ability in house to resolve it. I've started breathing a little easier about the possibilty of AI taking all our software engineering jo…

I started building this over a year ago to help plan routes for a social bike ride I help lead in St. Louis. I got annoyed with existing tools either being clunky to use, routing u…

I believe the point he was trying to make is that he doesn't want to be recommended things he wants to watch. He wants his YouTube use to be be focused and intentional, and not let…

Yes, thank you. It feels like whenever this topic is brought up everyone argues between some false dichotomy of letting the kid binge on algorithmic slop or personally engaging wit…

This was incredibly irritating at first, though over time I've learned to appreciate this "extra credit" work. It can be fun to see what Claude thinks I can do better, or should ad…

This article really resonated with me. I'm currenlty juggling a few side projects, one of which is a game I've been tinkering with for 3 years. It's a pretty simple simulation of r…

The auto-commits of Aider scared the crap out of me at first too, but after realizing I can just create a throwaway branch and let it run wild it ended up being a nice way to work.…

That's been my experience as well with projects, though I have yet to do any sort of A/B testing to see if it's all in my head or not. I've attributed it to all your project conten…

Likewise it reminded me of my first summer job growing up in rural northern Illinois in the 80s: detasseling corn [1]. It was just something we pretty much all did, starting in Jr.…

Agree with your sentiment, but I'd take it one step further: why doesn't anyone calling the shots at Meta realize just how uncool it is to do such a thing? Which is the same reacti…

I find myself hoping between o1 and Sonnet pretty frequently these days, and my personal observation is that the quality of output from o1 scales more directly to the quality of th…

For whatever it's worth, my dad was a programmer and spent my childhood doing his best to get me interested in it as well. But I just couldn't have cared less. I think most of us i…

That's a valid way to look at this, and I appreciate that perspective. However, I think you may be missing the point that the advertisement is specifically meant to elicit, or crea…

I don't think it's the random ads that bother me and others so much, those are easy to tune out. Nobody cares about billboards. Random junk ads on websites are annoying, but I don'…

People tend to notice the neon clad roadie on an expensive bike taking the lane on a busy thoroughfare. People don't tend to notice the guy riding his Wal-Mart mountain bike on the…

Agree heavily with this sentiment. It sounds like this could be a useful tool for a personal project of mine, but I wasn't nearly as interested after reading they're not attempting…

I don't believe they're saying the feature doesn't exist or never gets used, but rather it's rarely something that's taught to junior developers, and rarely something you see highl…

Give it some time. I've been the manager of multiple engineering teams that had to undergo cuts, and in most cases I found myself in a situation similar to yours: it was obvious it…

>layoffs don’t consider individual peformance This is not true. The way layoffs almost always work is the CEO tells their VPs they need to cut, say, 10% of their staff. The VPs tel…

Yes. Parent is leaning on the conventional wisdom of 10 years ago regarding mirrorless. The AF on my a7 III is nothing short of miraculous compared to any mirrored camera I've ever…

I'm 47 years old, decently educated, and can honestly say I'd never heard of this war and thought this was a great read. Granted, it's quite possible I was taught about this in som…
