Time and time again Elysium keeps popping into my mind. It's possible that the elite will control most part of wealth generation, keeping it for themselves. The rest of society wil…

That's great. I wish we could convince more people to use similar tools regularly, myself included. It may not 'scale' as well as algorithmic feeds, but maybe that's what will save…

Strange article. Even though I do like music and engineering. >Electromagnetic pickups—(...)—fixed the loudness problem. But they left a new one: the envelope Was it really a probl…

Obviously AI generated article. And the author hasn't made any attempt to disclose it. Take that into consideration. Yet, The Machine has good points. >For someone whose entire car…

In other news, being able to actually code will be one of the top IT trends in 2030s

Honestly, I only use coding agents when I feel too lazy to type lots of boilerplate code. As in "Please write just this one for me". Even still, I take care to review each line pro…

I've build a signal injector to debug a guitar pedal that was not working. It was a nice little journey in itself. The astable multivibrator produces so much harmonics that I could…

This is the best advise here. OP, I'm sure that life is hitting you hard, but there's some valid criticisms. When we're in angst it subconsciously gets into everything we write, in…

Go read a book, contribute to linux kernel, eat a cheeseburger, get in a nice hotel, watch movies, learn to cook, drive though the country, befriend locals, start a wine collection…

English, German, and all hard skills i'm slacking off: Cloud, Deep knowledge of networking and linux. Maybe finish reading Design Data Intensive Applications for good. And definite…

>Tired, you parameterize your deploy script and configure firewall rules, distracted from the crucial features you should be working on and shipping. Where's your Sysop?

Your argument goes like "If they're really intelligent, they'll think like me." For a true superhuman AI, what you or me think is irrelevant and probably wrong. Cars are still fast…

I don't particularly believe superhuman AI will be achieved in the next 50 years. What I really believe is that we'll get crazier. A step further than our status quo. Slop content …

LLMs help bootstrap ideas where developer lack skill. By this very nature, that generated, not totally understood code is the worst thing you can put in production. The fact that i…

Things I wish become taboo: Admitting to use AI content. Everyone is so comfortable doing shit like this.

IMHO the benefits are closely related to very fact that it's a hard thing to do. It's hard to go against your will to eat, relax and get entertained all the time. To be able to go …

I feel uneasy every time someone casually advocates the use of LLMs for a task. Sounds dirty. Hard to explain.

Voyager must have it's program code written in memory banks. Each code session having a known start address. The code inside the failed memory chip must have been moved to free ban…

Besides the debate about microservices being good or bad, it's clear that netflix developers are very passionate about what they do. To me this seems to play a big role in the succ…

That's a habit I may have done way too much in the recent years working from home. It indeed helps organizing thinking, but that come with some disadvantages. Once you get too accu…

I think this is a bad thing for the way it was implemented. Twitter for a brief moment used to work like a Global Broadcast Radio, where everyone could hang out to get a sense of W…

Monoliths are like heavy trucks. Microservices are like motorcycles. Surely you can delivery 15 metric tons of wood with either of them. You will just need a lot of motorcycles to …
