Or at a stop light and the car next to you is listening/singing to the same song. Never happens anymore.

Alright, that makes sense. I’m following now. Not at all opposed to making these transparent and accessible to defense attorneys.

Is the concern that the police will use these tools as a scaffolding and then use other evidence to build the case, then not mention the scaffolding? I’m not a lawyer but couldn’t …

Never been a manager, but there comes a point when you realize that you do not have the full picture as a subordinate. Your boss isn’t just managing you. They have a whole team to …

TL;DR: Write it so you’re actively involved and not a passive reviewer. Then a sign up link for his course.

These are different to me. An ask is when you expect some action from the person. A question is for an answer.

It’s human nature to pattern-match experiences. As the number of experiences grows, more fit into something seen before. So, yes, we’re just getting old.

Every student is forced to read the same materials and books. Tests are designed to test how close they remember the same correct answers. It’s always been rare that a novel interp…

Taking the restaurant ordering app, it’s certainly better than a server. Each individual picks what they want and pays for what they got on their own bill. It removes any chance of…

Physics is applying math to Model phenomena. Finance is already numbers so it’s a good fit. If you are insinuating the money corrupts it, they’re paid for the skills they developed…

Noise doesn’t have to be broadband. 60Hz is a common noise in US from the AC line frequency. Then there are harmonics of that due to rectifiers.

Yeah, that didn’t make any sense. If it’s functional, it impacts the system. 15k lines sure sounds like a lot of bloat.

Github copilot has filters for enterprise that remove the GPL code before it gets returned. At least that’s how my company has been covering itself.

Has that not been what a senior SWE is? You’re making it sound like engineers need to be asked to implement features rather than contribute to design. At my company, if you are not…

Allowing non-technical PMs to ship code is fine if they’re the one getting called up in the evenings and weekends when it breaks. Maybe it’s a good exercise to show how much has ef…

Felt the same way. Set aside the hyperbole, and it’s coming from the very real fear that data labeling does not have long-term job security. If the company continues to run after y…

“You” being the operative word. The writing is on the wall when an AI-centric cloud company with falling profits can’t compensate its workers in an age where other companies are sc…

GE moved off Clearcase in 2019 because even IBM didn’t want to use or support it anymore. Wasn’t set up as bad as you had but wouldn’t describe it as pleasant. Lot of alias cheatsh…

I certainly didn’t understand it. We were using it up to 2019. A coworker set up a spec that would automatically mirror to the main codebase, unknown to me that was possible. I mad…

Maybe 15 years ago it was helpful. Google is so ubiquitous that lmgtfy has gotten even more passive aggressive as time’s gone on.

Between this and blipped-CAIPI in 2011, there hasn’t been much change from an acquisition perspective in the industry. Mostly everyone shifted to AI reconstruction, workflow improv…

It’s a poor example. Recently, I did have to email myself photos taken with my phone to access them on my laptop. Would be nice if they were automatically synced. It’s work phone a…

The article gave one anecdotal example of a person who misdiagnosed themself and then tried to make a broader point by disregarding the definition of addiction. Addiction is not ju…

When I generate code with AI, I will read through each change as it makes them (babysitting). If I don’t understand it, then I ask for explanation right away. At least by the end I…

May not have been clear. My job is not AI development. I have features to deliver. The ask from employer is to add the AI knowledge sharing on top of it. They don’t pay for that. W…
