90% of code wouldn't pass a basic audit, let alone any sort of regulatory scrutiny. Developers are building the easy version most of the time.

He may well be right, but 'more work' is rarely the answer. The key is doing 'the right work'. In my experience of AI so far, it's really easy to just 'do more', but there's also v…

I think the comments here are taking this comment as being about how salaries are too high, or how it's daft to suggest people shouldn't chase the best paying role available to the…

Baking the base models on to ROM makes a lot of economic sense. Less so for consumers though, because it'd mean the phone is out of date in 3 months when a better model comes along…

People will always want something to gatekeep their chosen field. Code went away, so now people need to be able to say if the machine wrote good code. In a year or two people won't…

While that's undoubtedly true, the level of trolling varies a lot so I don't think it's quite as simple as "if people can troll then they will." There's a crazy level of trolling o…

Not buying it. In the end, OpenAI will throw these people under the bus and settle out. I think you're right, but let's not forget that Apple's goal isn't to protect themselves or …

Every company does that. It's literally a whole industry: Public Relations

I don't find three.js models/animations as indicative of anything other than the model's ability to write three.js code. This weekend I've been converting a game from three.js to o…

That question is essentially asked "Why can't we just upgrade all of our legacy systems that are more than 15 years old?" 15 years because anything running a network stack from 201…

It’s very hard to imagine Camus pieing off fighting for the French resistance or Hemingway staying home from the Spanish Civil War because they were satiated by their Funko Pop col…

China has a population 4 times bigger than the US, and the films you cite did roughly 4 times better in each example.

I'll read this later.

True, but at the same time if you're building an app the number of times when you think "I want to render this HTML without hooking it into the data store, other components on the …

The airline industry since its birth has had a collective net loss, in aggregate, despite moving hundreds of millions of people. The industrialisation essentially socializes the co…

I watch a lot of people's sessions more than my own haha That's not a good thing if you want people to use your service.

The ramifications are bleak if you're destined to become an employee . Students believe that AI can do their work for them, so they shouldn't be surprised if AI gets the job they w…

I bought 5! What are you going to do with 120 of them?

It's trivial to draw a line between some fixed points and extrapolate back to an origin if there's no external forces acting on the asteroid. But there is - planetary gravity, the …

manual PR reviews can catch things that llms currently miss I didn't say LLMs though. I'm talking about the sort of code quality tooling that's been in use for decades - Sonarqube,…

I'm not sure how the best teams do PR review.. They don't do them. They discuss the changes as the team are doing them (software design and architecture), they automate all the thi…

My Product Manager: "Ok, but we can deliver the MVP of one fractal in an octillionth of the time, right? I've already promised the stakeholders."

I’d put money on the average developer being significantly worse at writing code with bugs than an AI. I'd take that bet if it was measured in "bugs per day" instead of "bugs per L…

Given the choice of a bored call center employee who doesn't care, or who's only pretending to care, and who isn't really empowered to fix a problem versus an AI bot that can actua…

I wish the page used the CSS :visited selector and provided a link on the index page, so we could easily see which one we've visited before or not. That only lasts as long as your …
