There might be a set of people for whom that might be true. There are a lot of people for whom that is not true and, fair or not, they will have an easier time to make things happe…

Today’s surface areas are gigantic and many of them will - in a typical company - not be chosen by cybersecurity experts. How do I hide the physical location of an office that offe…

No, a compromise can also be a win-win. It balances potentially extreme positions, it adds further perspectives, it forces all parties to consider what is most important to them. I…

But isn’t that what the parent says? Fix the underlying laws instead of relying on a single person to randomly overrule the law

Skeptical of the study approach, but it is an entirely possible scenario if we don’t hit AGI. Many of the non-tech companies are only now starting to invest into AI. For many of th…

It’s such a beautiful plane. Despite having worked for Airbus, the 747 triggers emotions for me that the A380 simply doesn’t. It represents an era of aerospace engineering that wil…

Because it is really hard to reliably hire good people. Almost all typical signals & methods (CVs, experience based interviews, …) have very low reliability. An IQ test has the hig…

If there was any smart way of doing it, we should block it for everyone. Very little good has come of it. Also solves the age verification problem. It’s soooo difficult to not fall…

Historically, this has nothing to do with lying, but is all about the founding idea of the social security system that all parties (workers, employers, state) carry part of the bur…

To me, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to hire fewer juniors because of AI. This assumes that the only thing AI can’t replicate is experience. This in itself already seems questiona…

Plenty of comparisons here between salaries and token costs. All fair but very much assumes that salaries are rational. Why do we pay some engineers 10x as much for the same role j…

Not necessarily safer but safe enough. A modern 4 engine jet should still be safer than the 2 engine equivalent

He is the original author who faced the bug. I believe he just copied the response he received from Antrophic

So many comments on Claude having gotten worse over the last weeks. Haven’t noticed it myself apart from one very stupid thing it did recently. Is there any proper data on this? I …

And with that dismantle the fourth power which is nothing without an audience? Just let the powerful do whatever they want to do?

I don’t know. Is a random YT channel more trustworthy considering their reliance on sponsorships? And once they do interviews, they face the same issue I also just don’t see interv…

I fully agree that it’s close to impossible to not eventually fall into the trap of overrelying on them. However, it’s also true that I was able to do things with them that I would…

Is this how it really works? With demand outstripping supply, prices rise across the globe. Prices at gas stations go up as well. The only ones earning a „LOT“ of money are Big Oil…

Beyond all, I think cost is a major driver. A key difference in cheaply made clothing vs more expensively made clothing is the sophistication of the tailoring. However, the interes…

I agree with the sentiment. I don‘t code a lot, but AI has sped up things in all fields for which I use AI (or at least the expectation of speed has grown). For me, it’s the contex…

I‘m a technical exec and most of the advice rings true. Somewhere the translation from technical goals to business goals has to happen. Good leads will help with that and good engi…

That might be true for today’s laptops, but back then laptops had a lot more empty space to compress. Combined with a tough but flexible shell, the thinkpad might indeed have saved…

I actually prefer a 10+ hrs business class flight over a 6-7 hrs flight. At least you can get a full night of sleep
