    It's important to not assume AI can do everything humans can, just because people are saying it.

    The Economist had a fun article saying social media is not a business in 2008. I’ll try to dig up the link again.

    Curious: Is there any technologies and their adoption that were successful that Economist was wrong, or right about?

    It's hilarious how 2 year old reactionary AI trends are still arriving anew in slow moving places.

    Free speech isn't free of consequences. Rights come with responsibilities and understanding where someone's rights may stop and someone else's rights might begin.

    Depending on how possible it is for a use case, reducing the attack surfaces and vectors can help, such as being mindful of how much client side javascript exposes anything.

    I agree in any practice, it's not easy :) In a non-deterministic world the compiler is no longer consistent anyways.

    This can work great until the models get tweaked and you realize you’ve been working based on the currents of the model this week. Creating a robust enough setup that can work on d…

    Except LLMs will only tend to share the most common or average of what it knows as the standard and deviating from it (including new ways) it can be resistant to. An expert can lay…

    The doers vs talkers of who can make AI accurate and consistent will step forward.

    AI needs entirely new primitives in many areas.

    AI Averages, and is inclined to do average designs and implementations, which in some cases might be an improvement, but long term it creates more to deal with.

    Long overdue. Seeing this in sports the past few years has been so odd.

    Agreed. That usually comes as a step after getting these items on a separate SSID.

    I wonder if this might lead to UEFA and othe similar orgs simply banding together to create their own FIFA.

    Using one device as a proxy is a few steps away from trying to exploit and infiltrate the other devices on your machine as well. An unwitting proxy is already crossing the line to …

    Generally, it's advisable to create a dedicated wifi network for all potentially hostile devices. This dedicated wifi network can just be connecting your devices to your guest wifi…

    LOC can be one measure, but not always the sole or best ones. Since LLMs are word generators, and have a propensity to generating words, they need to be shaped to understand simple…

    Quality of lines > Quantity of lines. In some projects, the code might not have much, or enough testing, or documentation/commenting. Code is largely for others and the future if t…

    Out of the box, this is what I've found too. I've had some luck while refactoring by helping it shape how to refactor, which can improve how well factored code should look like. Pr…

    I was able to largely refactor something that was going to take months in a week or so by being the narrating human in the loop. It was helped by having refactoring experience and …

    How to teach, and how to learn, and how to learn how to learn are for sure different things. With post secondaries, one thing I see is the obsession with pedagogy, which makes sens…
