Remember in 2023 when people thought "prompt engineering" would be the new software engineering and invested tons of time into learning CoT, ReAct, thread-of-thoughts, etc? Those w…

Zitron thinks capex is a liability that needs to be paid off in a year instead of a long-standing asset. Similarly he thinks that an investment into an AI startup is also a loan th…

The Lambda-SQS poller will slow down in response to the lambda's error rate for this exact reason. Note that this can cause issues: say you have a time sensitive application that r…
