Musk is doing what he's always done: making outrageous promises/predictions that won't come true but sound like science fiction to lure the uneducated into investing. * The hardwar…

In my experience, most businesses are running some portion of their operations in spreadsheets. More importantly: they don't want to change. They're running things out of spreadshe…

The article's title could be shortened to just "Congress Is Doing Little"

I doubt the question you want answered is, "Does Sam Altman know how to code?" The simple answer is: he has written code at some point in his life and at some basic level he knows …

Windows: - Bloat: software packages and services that cannot be entirely removed (at least not without 3rd party tools) like Edge, OneDrive, Copilot, etc. - Requiring a MS account …

I hate ads. I use an ad-blocker, I've abandoned Chrome so I can effectively block ads on Youtube, and I avoid ad riddled services like television (ad-free streaming or piracy for m…

The paradigms from different programming languages aren't always compatible. The differences in those paradigms are the strengths and weaknesses that make languages better or worse…

Huh... I never thought about it like that. I had no interest in using OpenClaw, but my coworkers are extremely dumb and inconsistent. OpenClaw might be comparable.

If you pursue this, be aware that consumers are tired of AI and don't believe it works well. You need to show that it's "insights" are reliable, accurate, and useful. If you're stu…

> A good example among analog controllers is the Atari one that had a variable capacitor and the capacitance was measured to infer its position. Although the measurement is digital…

I'm not going to argue against engineers using AI coding tools to write boilerplate code faster. I certainly think it's a useful tool for that. But outside of that context, it's pr…

I certainly expect Tesla to use the cameras on their cars for similar purposes if they haven't already. Although I would expect them to distance themselves from it by selling the l…

It's been overshadowed by Python which has a sexier image because it isn't associated with Microsoft. It certainly doesn't help that in the beginning C# was a Windows only language…

Every time I see an article like this I'm frustrated by the positive spin they put on an environmentally irresponsible and unsustainable practice.

It is not obvious what you're supposed to do. From just trying things randomly, I think the objective is to get each numbered square to 'claim' or 'path into' as many empty squares…

I don't want to defend Docker because I'm not a fan, but I can tell you that as a dev the appeal is controlling the environment instead of specifying it. Lots of Docker fans don't …

This is intriguing. What are you discussing in the 15 minute phone call? Do you spend any time probing their coding knowledge? Before the phone call, are you looking for examples o…

Huh. In 20 years of using gmail I can't remember ever seeing a phishing email in my inbox (they're all filtered out as spam so I never see them). I'm curious what's led to our diff…

0. You're spot on: data centers almost exclusively run Linux. 1. CUDA runs well on Linux, but it's not real clear to me what you're asking in the second half of this question. CUDA…

To me that sounds like sophistry (unintentional or not). Wikipedia summarizes it nicely: "Sophistry" is today used as a pejorative for a superficially sound but intellectually dish…

It's interesting that you worded that question differently in your title and post because I certainly see people take credit when it works, but blame the AI when it fails.

I don't know why you would want to let someone use an AI when taking an IQ test. There's already debate about how useful IQ tests are for measuring intelligence. Letting someone us…

There is no explanation that would make me overlook that red flag.

Every sequence of bits can have meaning depending on how it's interpreted. If there are infinite universes, then in one them there's a hardware platform that will interpret 'xiHkv9…
