That's not quite how auto-regressive models are trained (the expression of "ideas" bit). There is no notion of "ideas." Words are not defined like we humans do, they're only relate…

I don't understand. Deterministic and stochastic have very specific meanings. The statement: "To continue my reply I could say this word, more than the others, or maybe that one, a…

GeorgiaTech's online Master's in Computer Science has lower costs. About $8k in total. I did it along with a full-time job since I only took one subject per semester.

Which aspects? Foundational textbooks would focus on principles, not necessarily implementations, and don't go "outdated" the same way a snippet does.

To be fair, he never said "every single role at your company requires a secret clearance." He has specifically mentioned that you can get by even without them. You have misquoted.

I think there's merit to both design docs and prototypes. At the same time, your argument that "you'll be replaced by GPT in no time" is also an opinion that you've not supported w…

Good for you.

I agree with you. I've wrote very big web applications in Rails, Django, and Java/Spring. I understand the argument for things being "explicit" in Python, but then I just prefer Ja…

Yes, which is why the rest of my sentence is important. I said, “I haven’t found a need to use a proprietary language.” I didn’t claim that one will never be needed by anyone. :-)

Yes, I’m aware, which is why it reminded me of PureBasic with which I’m more familiar. :-)

I'm familiar with PureBasic (although didn't use it a lot). I got introduced to it in the 2000s (2000-2007 or something), along with DarkBasic, GameMaker, and the likes. In today's…

This is a very good comment and does reflect my experience. As engineers, we're the only people who can estimate something close enough, and it becomes our job to do that while tak…

This is it. I'm a hardcore engineer at heart who has a lot of these sales, marketing, and product folks as friends, and can attest to the fact that they also have constraints. The …

If your knowledge of Python comes from JavaScript, I would not blame Python for it. It's the failure of the person to not "read the instructions" and assume instead. Maybe conduct …

By that logic, the 30% Apple tax must be "extremely fair" because all iOS apps are built on both the software and hardware built by Apple, which are arguably far more complex than …

Looks awesome. Compliance in itself is a huge space that can benefit from a lot of automation. And the pain point of avoiding back-and-forth and giving quick feedback is real, beca…

As someone who has done a lot of those things (beyond programming), I can assuredly say that "writing about something" is neither a proof of understanding nor a proficiency in a su…

But wouldn't the value of data be reflect in the cost of exploitation? (By cost of exploitation, I don't mean to say the resources needed to exploit, but what a company would stand…

During my Master's, security was one of the subjects I took. It started with an equation that related risk (how much you'd lose if something bad happened), the probability of that …

Yes. Although I’d like to see a deeper investigation. Of course, quality of completions have improved. But there could be a confounding phenomenon where newer folks might just be a…

The title is correct. But I agree that saying "50% increase" conveys less information than saying "1% to 1.5%" (because you don't know 50% of what), and seems to have been used onl…

Good points. Although, having worked on many high scale architectures before, I always err on the side of thinking that any technical solution of this magnitude would have far too …
