Money is exactly what got us to this point! Besides, I always thought taste, or at least 'popular' taste, was a market function, or something? That's what people like Rick Rubin (I…

For me, photography is the metaphor - https://raskie.com/post/we-have-ai-at-home - We've had the technology to produce a perfect 2D likeness of a subject for close to two centuries…

The status pages suggests the app is fine, but the website raises a 503 for me. Was wondering if other were experiencing the same.

This is interesting. At what level and team size? There's going to have to be a point where you just give in to the 'vibes' (whether it's from a human, or a machine), otherwise you…

That's not always the intention behind that style of writing. Often, when I'm communicating with someone who is either dyslexic, or uses English as a second (or even third or fourt…

Some of the sites I maintain, are fine. But I'm guessing it's just a matter of time?

> Containers have nothing to do with storage. They are completely orthogonal to storage Exactly. And sure, you can use S3/Dynamo/Aurora from an EC2 box, but what would be the point…

It's subjective I guess, but I feel as though containerisation has greatly supported the large Cloud vendor's desire to subvert the more common model of computing... Like, before, …

The whole industry walked straight into the cloud service lock-in trap. How would we begin to wind back? I also think Docker is as much to blame as the bigger cloud vendors.

What are you suggesting though? That there were clues to herald these changes? Tbh, I did look at my (new) MP's record on social justice and welfare... They were surprisingly out o…

I really don't remember voting on this web censorship issue, or ID cards, because both of those policies would have changed my vote, for sure.

While there will be some dispute for years to come, the capabilities and potential of image generation models, and Large Language models, appear to be far beyond dispute. But the n…

I suppose the missing part of the story is why they held back on pursuing this market. At the time, the console market was wide open, with little innovation in terms of hardware, u…

I'd wager the chances of that happening are much lower under this current administration. Surprised Biden didn't consider it though.

> Whenever anyone tries to ban saying something that we'd previously been able to say, our initial assumption should be that they're wrong. Only our initial assumption of course. I…

This is it. Well organised and destructive conservatives across much of the western world, have conspired successfully to nullify the positive effect of a word once used to elide w…

Nick Clegg left just in time.

I'm keen in playing around with some SGR/EDA data, but even in the niche field of biometric sensors, the tech seems neglected when compared to a relatively low yield technology lik…

As written, possibly. Taken literally, it's full of holes. But if you're not a pedant, I essentially mean that most parents will vaccinate their children, many passengers will book…

I think this comment comes across as slightly ignorant. Many examples exist where a misguided belief in scientific 'facts' (usually a ropey hypothesis, with seemingly 'damning' evi…

A bit of a long one... My organization invited a candidate to complete a Live Coding whiteboard test for a second stage interview. It was a really simple problem (essentially 'Fizz…

At their core, I still think of these things as search engines, albeit super advanced ones. But the emotion the agent conveys with it's speech synth is completely new...

Accessibility. Some people are actually just here to read. That's what the original standard was for, after all.

Being able to feasibly feed it a whole project codebase in one 'prompt' could now make these new generation of code completion tools worthwhile. I've found them to be of limited va…
