I've come to the same conclusion over and over with all of the Chinese models that have been claimed to be catching up with OpenAI's and Anthropic's frontier models (Deepseek 4, GL…

Seattle was announced as a Waymo upcoming city nearly 2 months before Houston, gets a foot less of rain than Houston each year, and usually has only 2 or 3 snow days a year. That's…

Usually if you're working a stressful, low paying, dangerous job it's because you don't have many other options. I'm pretty sure "just get another job" is easier said than done for…

It's not, but the original comment never claimed that it was. There have been 4 or 5 pretty massive wildfires in France that I can remember in the last 5 years, but this is the fir…

I don't think the person you're responding to was trying to deny global warming being a factor. I think they're just explaining why this fire is so bad compared to other fires we h…

It's awesome that it had the capability to do that, but it worries me a bit that it chose to do that.

I just listened to a podcast last week with the author (Dex Horthy) on as the guest. Humanlayer (his company) is constantly trying to push the limits with agents and he's very into…

Just to offer a different perspective, my last job removed QA and it was a nightmare. Feature delivery slowed way down and incidents and bugs went way up to the point where we star…

I don't really believe the idea that there's some grand plan by the Chinese government to use their AI labs to undermine the US companies. Maybe now it's more of a reality, but I d…

Based on what I first heard it described as, yeah, I think so. In most places I've worked SAs are generally just connecting existing pieces of a system together to meet a customers…

I agree that the idea is cool, but from what I've heard from people in the role at most companies it's essentially a solutions architect role by another name. Funny enough, the Pra…

It's also possible that there are more in-depth detection methods and that this was just a cheap and easy first step that hasn't been removed because it catches a lot of less sophi…

OpenCode has a $10/mo sub that includes both of those

I also hadn't heard of it, but I feel like it's kind of a corollary of the whole, "what's measured is managed" idea or maybe the Streetlight effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

One of the people I know had that happen and didn't realize it. Between the exercise cost and taxes I think it ended up costing them nearly a quarter million. I know that seems ins…

I was an early employee (#20-something) at a company that peaked at just over a billion dollar valuation during Covid and that now sits at somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of that dep…

I've got a couple of LLM wikis running for different purposes. I just pointed Claude at Karpathy's Github Gist and said "do this" and it set up and has maintained them ever since. …

"It doesn't look like anything to me"

I don't think you appreciate how much time, money, and energy a really bad tenant and an eviction can cost.
