It's funny when these executives, on one side, will happily lay people off, implement attrition policies, or engage in morally-questionable behaviors, all with the purpose of maxim…

So, business as usual? The mighty have always influenced the less powerful. The US has just as much incentive to influence European elections, as do Russia or China. It's not surpr…

Also, in one of their points they argue that, in the case of non-programmers, the more domain expertise one brings to the table, the higher the chances of a successful outcome. Wel…

You can't tell me what to do; you're not my real mother!

Not exactly overthinking, more like misinterpreting. Claude is not a person. LLMs don't think, want, feel, or have any kind of inner experience whatsoever. They just generate words…

This guy deletes!

Your line of thinking rests on the assumption that "AI enables machines to understand English", but this is false. AI, or more precisely LLMs, are a class of algorithms that take a…

It's called anchoring, and it's a negotiation tactic. Also extensively used in marketing.

Small startup. I don't use a laptop. I prefer work/home separation, so I use a workstation, and I'm in the office 5 days a week. I have three screens attached to my PC. A main 27" …

It's a bit of an over-generalization, though. Tech stack matters more and more, the larger a project gets, and the more people join it. Some languages and frameworks lend themselve…

There are a few layers to this problem. They're not entirely wrong about developments in AI-assisted coding – it is progressing quickly. But for now, LLMs doing "any software engin…

Why is everything so far in this thread worded in past tense? It feels like you're all talking about a long closed chapter of history.

Only if the place is called "Mystery Science Theater 3000"

I thought I was depressed, but recently realised that I’m actually feeling off because of long COVID symptoms. The brain fog is pretty much constant, and I’m definitely more forget…

Weird post, could be misleading to others. You really don't need "multiple terabytes of SSD storage" to run Llama 3.1 70B. All you need is about 40GB for the model weights. Plus th…

I don't see absolutely any incentive for a company to spend more on tracking technologies (whatever their nature may be) in order to lower their profit. So guess who gets the prove…

Couldn't agree more. And I say this as a developer that uses LLMs in my day-to-day work.

Cyberpunk was supposed to be a warning, not a playbook...

I guess I missed the news about the license change. We still use it in production in my startup, but now I'm considering migrating to something else. After a quick google search, t…

As proof that they are right, I'm not even going to open the article

"[...] async should be the hot cake compared to synchronous programming. But that doesn't work out in practice for some reason. If that really were the case, 80% of web apps would …

Well done. You just realized that ownership is only a concept, i.e. it doesn't exist in the physical world.

The author doesn't even mention the fact that 1 B (byte) = 8 b (bit), which is, at least partly, causing the phenomenon.

It varies wildly. In my experience, for a small company with limited resources, they are often more a burden than a boon. It is a good way, though, of finding worthwhile candidates…

I think that you are being misleading when you keep hammering the privacy aspect. Yes, end-to-end encryption means that only the people participating in the conversation can decryp…
