Wonder if those two young authors even know the word objective.

I think the poster gets it. As do I. And I do not believe either of us care all that much about the vocal minority.

Claude is better for much than GPT atm. You really think the government is going to hamstring the engineering of weapons and intelligence capabilities by not using it?

Bluster followed by a "we can't do it now but we will... soon". Whoever has the best model can do what they please you'll see. I work with these things daily as an engineer (been d…

Is it really the case companies like OpenAI and Anthropic will repeatedly visit this archive and slurp it all up each time they train something? Wouldn’t that just be a one time th…

Costs more to incentivize people who are already flush with cash to work harder and keep working for you. It’s the prize waiting for anyone here later in life if you kill it and ea…

I've been given one by a member of the NYPD twice in the past couple of years. I've politely accepted it, put in my desk drawer, and I do not carry it. Always bothered me. Police c…

And what of the rooster mascot?

Most complex, unique, value producing things have a path to monetization for the builder of the thing. If the money isn’t there for the builder they are either not leveraging their…

Pretty sure I’m a machine that’s drawn all my conclusions by statistically analyzing all the input I’ve received since birth… I don’t really know how else I would learn what I have…

- "All it can do is assemble patterns according to other patterns it has seen when prompted by a request" Sounds pretty much like everyone I know.

Fact: functional programming takes more time to learn. It's not full of people that are "smarter' or "snobs" it's just full of people that have taken the time and invested in educa…

Was going to comment but found myself clamming up and deleting it.

I love that the article focuses on interpersonal skills... too often the knee jerk reaction (as software engineers) is to view "skills" through the narrow lens of engineering (vari…

Just curious on general thoughts here since Apple has this thing with Epic going on and, generally in the history of software, other platform owners have charge a fee for releasing…

The link leads to nothing? Has been removed? (Sorry if late to the game but seems no one has mentioned this yet)

After working on more than 20 green field projects over the 25+ years I've been a software engineer I can tell you that yes... all SDLC management tools suck at times, but also can…

In that case then maybe the question "Where can I find news that requires the least amount of cognitive load to consume?" is more appropriate... this is also a little defeatist.

I hear you on Reuters maybe that was an unfair inclusion (it is certainly not sensationalist news) but still...

Thanks for the allsides link. If it's what they claim that's a good one.

It's just that I rotate between all these organizations (e.g., reuters, cnn, foxnews, msnbc) and I legit don't know where to actually find unpartisan material anymore.

"Types and Programming Languages" (aka "tapl")

I know one employer this will impact: Goldman Sachs. Not only do they demand you tell them what your current salary is during the interview process, they force you during a rigorou…
