    And that is a good thing. What the human operator did was completely irresponsible and malicious, paying a small bill is hopefully educational and will correct their behavior going…

    I tend to agree with OP. In my opinion conscious machines are not something that we should allow to exist. If they do, they are not human and must never be treated as such. I am no…

    In this case you could even replace "LLM" with "C compiler" and it would change nothing. Look, I still got my physical copy of Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book with…

    Almost a decade ago, I moved my career into the management track. I am a director by now and have two more management levels between myself and individual contributors. I can stron…

    Well, not yet. It's a matter of organization, regulation and litigation. I was thinking along the lines of concepts that already exist, such as the private copying levy [0]. It bas…

    > Of course they want to get paid for it. So should the original authors, no? That is, getting a share of that payment. Something akin to the German GEMA could work, an entity that…

    Does it have to be? The etymology of the word „abstraction“ is „to draw away“. I think it‘s relevant to consider just how far away you want to go. If I‘m purely focused on the gene…

    It is quite frankly ridiculous that you need to be in the "in-group" to get things like this resolved and it is not the first time this has been reported, be it Google or Meta or a…

    Are these examples supposed to be bad? I think the world would be in a better place.

    It used to be that you had to have a strong understanding of the underlying machine in order to create software that actually worked. Things like cycle times of instructions, pipel…

    Having worked in a very large company for the past two decades now, one of the best career advices I ever got is about how you measure if you are a „good employee“. It is very simp…

    No, you misunderstood. It is not about their output, it almost never is. Most of the times, the business decision has already been made long before McK is hired. It’s all about leg…

    I do not disagree, in fact I'm feeling more and more Butlerian with every passing day. However, it is undeniable that a transformation is taking place -- just not necessarily to th…

    Why is it bizarre? It is inevitable. After all, AI has not ruined creative professions, it merely disrupted and transformed them. And yes, I fully understand my whole comment here …

    I feel different: the last line is very important in this context, since it communicates the underlying thoughts and values of the poster. Asking for "amazing" open source projects…
