Clearly some folks here have never worked at Amazon before. It's genuinely terrifying to see what most of the internet runs on.

Yet, with 37% of people being only a $400 surprise cost away from financial destitution, you might be completely wrong. https://www.investopedia.com/here-s-how-many-americans-can-t…

Still, it lowers the resolution of the results if you have to throw out a significant portion of the interviews.

> Whenever I see a claim that "x% of adults do y", my brain goes Would that everyone employed this level of skepticism before commenting on figures.

Ah, guess I was conflating the two (they are quite similar after all). From their documentation (the link you posted): > For untrusted repos, use a basic text editor instead. Is th…

This draws to mind the dialog that opens when you open a new project in Cursor (and VSCode too, I think), where the IDE asks the user if they trust the project they're opening. Is …

I'm always confused by these phrases: > The new API cuts word error rate by 3.5 to 4x on the same audio: from 9.02% to 2.12% on clean speech Shouldn't they have said "cuts error ra…

Oh yeah, I think I alone have shared this article with a few dozen people.

Just more focused places to find it, I think. I loved the historical seafaring stories that DI would post, but then I realized that there were subject matter podcasts that dug into…

Admittedly, I haven't read DI in quite a while, but seeing this post brought back a flood of memories from my college days of waiting for the next article to drop. This blog was th…

There is no such thing as a complete piece of information and it is unreasonable to expect every published piece of every bit of information to contain all required context to unde…

"Ingenuity" is what I think is missing. The sheer _want_ of solving a problem that is distinctly a living creature's concern. The irony is if we ever taught machines how to have th…

Nonsense. The goalpost is "this is as good as a senior engineer". A senior engineer can easily understand architectural rationale. Don't dismiss my argument because it's inconvenie…

I'm not sure what your background is, but as a staff level engineer, I can assure you they do not. They in fact seem to lack any understanding of architectural intent within a suff…

I've been using it mostly to bat away yak shaving rabbit holes one can get into when working on a large and complex project. I work mostly on platform work, which is generally nebu…

I see it as rude as well. The literal interpretation is: "your time is worth absolutely nothing to me."

Without reaching for my tin foil hat, I have a feeling MS is able to suppress these incidents somehow, because yeah, that one was pretty bad.

What's your general increase of cost and maintenance overhead? How many devs and repos do you have?

Or last week's "If you use merge queue, oopsie, we accidentally destroyed your trunk", which also failed silently.

I kind of had assumed that had already begun impacting downtime, though I guess it would be good to get some confirmation.

"Useful" is an interesting term. How useful is someone who is an expert at using AI but has no computer?

So I guess I should just give up on my dream of having a useful AI assistant for day to day "human" tasks. We're just hell bent on replacing humans in jobs.

Then prove I'm wrong. Prove that an LLM can in fact solve completely novel arithmetic.
