I’m in Europe, and I have the same sentiment regarding salary. The difference is I’m more than happy with a simple life and experiences that don’t cost too much money. I have free …

The US had the strongest military in the world using outdated 20th century metrics. The new reality is the world is watching the US losing the war against Iran, depleting critical …

One way insulation does not exist. If your house is insulated to keep the heat inside, it is also very good at keeping the heat outside / cold inside. Also tangentially many Europe…

It doesn’t look like "the EU" has signed anything, just that a couple EU countries independently accepted to join the summit.

You should rewatch Office Space, The Matrix or Fight Club to remind you what a typical office job was like in the 90s and what Gen X grew up with. Thinking you are entitled to a fu…

At their core all these self help books are not teaching you how to reshape your speech, but emotional intelligence. They are teaching better understanding of other and yourself. Y…

Bitcoin has a 1.5T market cap with 0 revenue. I think Musk really got his eyes opened when he started playing with Dogecoin a few years ago. He applied the lessons successfully wit…

Interesting chart that confirms hiring dynamics for SE have not much to do with AI despite all the PR, as in 2023 models and agents capabilities were quite limited, and now that ca…

I guess we are simply not doing the same job. I’m customer facing, and the bread and butter of my job is to create software for the customer and client’s needs and constraints usin…

Thanks I think that explains part of the misunderstanding: I’m from a country where engineer is a regulated title, you can’t call yourself a software engineer if you indeed didn’t …

I dont understand why software engineers insist on keeping the craftsmanship aspect of writing code. Compare to other engineering disciplines, like civil engineering. Engineering w…

I'm not in the field but I think it's because historically neural nets were looked down and deemed unpromising because they lacked understanding, compared to Symbolic AI or SVM for…

But that's not how "mysterious" is used here. These scientists did not meet their end during an obvious outdoor activity.

To me it was already quite intuitive, we are not really managing the psychological state: at its core a LLM try to make the concatenation of your input + its generated output the m…

I understand why they might be anxious, but my point is it’s unrelated to the technology itself. Imagine people denying the internet works in 2000 because of the Dotcom bubble. Sam…

How can you still can't distinguish between using LLMs as tools and a non technical person vibe coding? I have yet to run into any serious software engineer that had to dive into a…

> We are SO past the point of software being developed without LLMs at _all_ That's exactly why I've given up on programming, development or career subreddits. There are a lot of i…

I’m not sure because in many modern open world games you are just like a Uber driver following GPS from checkpoint to checkpoint. It would with old school games that relied on memo…

The reasoning is by being polite the LLM is more likely to stay on a professional path: at its core a LLM try to make your prompt coherent with its training set, and a polite promp…

Uber and Airbnb have network effects. You cant increase price when there is no cost in switching.

When the incumbent shoot themselves in the foot. Google and Microsoft are consultancy driven bureaucracies with abysmal product culture. At best Google will be the one providing th…

The problem is not that individual action is not useful, it’s that governments and companies are actively discouraging it, because every success for climate change is a bad news it…

I get your general point but specifically regarding : > have it diarized, send out minutes, grab relevant info and surface it before the next relevant meeting Slack already has thi…

> It's even more depressing to see folks on HACKER news boost the "programming never mattered" mentality that's taken hold these last few years. No, it's more like some folks like …

Except this time it's the main banks doing it?
