Hah, lately I've had one particular coworker demanding in code reviews that I provide more 'detailed' MR descriptions. (All of his are clearly AI generated.)

That very much depends on the workplace. I was let go once for being 'slightly below average', because I kept foolishly spending the time to fix things in ways that didn't result i…

I've seen several varieties of this idea several times, and it always seems pretty straw-mannish to me. No one is asserting that computers themselves should have rights. But their …

Discord's text search isn't exact, which can be a big problem sometimes. For instance, I was in a discord for a game mod recently which had questions asked about the terms 'element…

BLS calls U-3 the "official unemployment rate" I guess, but they publish it in a table with 5 other measures that count different things. I'm not entirely sure it's fair to blame t…

If I understand the pricing correctly, that seems prohibitive. The models go up to 2k tokens of input, so wouldn't that mean that it costs $.16 per output token?

AI Dungeon is a pretty great use case. I'm not sure if it'll survive this pricing, though.

Ah, that's referring to something else. By generation it means the first output string of every scenario. IIRC I heard someone mention that OpenAI made them do that because people …

You get GPT-3 either way now, I believe. Dragon, the one locked to subscribers, is GPT-3 XL or something like that? Relevant Developer Tweet: https://twitter.com/nickwalton00/statu…

Maybe not by itself, but maybe useful in conjunction with eye tracking?

I don't understand what you are saying here. It seems to me like you would expect hunger to increase over time after eating. Thus putting the part of your fast with the highest hun…

I have not read the study, but when I heard this on the radio the researcher specifically said that the weight loss was because of the reduction in calories. The part that is inter…

That's a fair point which also occurred to me while reading the article. It is, I think, indicative of a deeper issue with using ML in these sorts of safety contexts. If the only w…

My experience was that while the IDE was available and picked up by newer developers, the majority of developers at the mainframe shop where I worked avoided it as much as possible…

I don't want to be dismissive since this is pretty cool, but from just skimming the page it seems like this is basically a version to neural nets that is roughly equivalent to gene…

> memory/resource scarcity is the mother of quality code My experience with Legacy code has been the exact opposite of this. I've seen some really well written and documented legac…

Is this true of individual schools, or only on average? I'm not particularly well versed on the subject but when I lived there my impression was that there was a mix of schools tha…

Perhaps this is a result of two different cultural approaches to conflict minimization? My naive impression of people from these two cultures is that Japanese people are typically …

What the appropriate value for minimum wage is largely a social question not an economic one. I would stipulate, however, that whatever you think that value is it should probably b…

I'm largely in favor of a $15 minimum wage, but I agree that if we were going to do this on a national level as opposed to local it would be prudent to phase it in over time so tha…
