> For the vast majority of software out there, this quality gap simply doesn't matter. You don't mean the majority of paid for software can behave non-deterministically? That's the…

My workflow as well. If I had to gauge the direction of the wind, this produces the work of somewhere between 1-2 pre-AI engineers. My own code quality probably went down, along wi…

Fun fact: you can get to/from Schiphol by bike.

Reads like it's straight out of The Onion.

>My productive output as a programmer in software and business have expanded 3x compounding monthly . In what units?

Try talking to white collar workers outside your bubble. Better yet get a job.

My sense is there's a long queue of candidates for the NYC and Boston offices stuck without a team match.

How is a $25 life saving medication "too cheap"? That's 1/10 of the out-of-pocket maximum per year in Norway or Sweden. Which by the way covers all of medical visits, hospital stay…

This would be discussed in an introduction to soil mechanics and foundation design (Braja Das's textbooks used to be the standard reference in the US when I was a student 15+ years…

The ability of a dry stack retaining wall to shift and breathe is a feature, not a bug. For stone walls that require added reinforcement against lateral loads, look into tiebacks o…

I'm not familiar with Stuyvesant, TJHSST and the like. The best Russian schools follow the Konstantinov [1] tradition of "listki" (handouts), where each student is essentially guid…

Is this a sign of a forthcoming job market collapse? I don't remember anything similar during the previous recession.

fwiw this describes my experience of interviewing at Databricks

To its credit, Twitter has been doing this for some time now.

Most comments seem to quibble about exact numbers. That the number of people let go is comparable is enough to give you a pause.

Could be used to generate building plans or other schematics (pretty sure of no use though). Could certainly be put to good use generating pornographic images.

I don't know about what's in America's favor. I know for a fact that I would not willingly compete with all software developers in a global marketplace. I'd lose my big4 job in a s…

By way of a thought experiment: If all human beings are equal, is this a necessary and sufficient condition to let a homeless person stay with you for a night? Assuming this is an …
