    I feel as if a lot of this what Google home (or other "home like" products) could have been and they have failed miserably. As a Google home user I find it can't answer the simples…

    I am right there with you. We might lack the language to describe this emotional state; its like the opposite of FAFO? There's also this nuance that they were acquired by meta so y…

    Hey OP I also got interested in seeing LLMs draw and came up with this vibe coded interface. I have a million ideas for taking it forward just need the time... Lmk if you're intere…

    I feel for you. Hopefully your colleagues come around and realize that if they submit the code they are responsible for the slop.

    Hey just wanted to thank you for the healthy back and forth! I respect your opinion and don't hold mine strongly. That said I'm eager for this space to mature and for us all to fig…

    I think this misses the point, see the other comments. Fully scaled agentic coding replaces managers too :) cause for celebration all around

    Completely agree and great points. The conclusion of "agents are writing the tests" etc is where I'm at as well. More over the code quality itself is also an agentic problem, as is…

    The moment all code is interacted with through agents I cease to care about code quality. The only thing that matters is the quality of the product, cost of maintenance etc. exactl…

    Early adopters will early adopt. They will toil,feedback, improve, repeat. Tools will over optimize then dramatically shift based on learnings. This chaps will continue until somet…

    About a decade ago I was interviewed for Apple's self driving car project and an exec on the project asked me to define these exact 4 things in great detail and provide examples. S…

    Seriously are you trolling? Or do you just enjoy making things up?

    Search is effectively an openly solved problem, not something privately held onto by a few with secret technology. I haven't missed a single aspect of Google search having switched…

    The hand waviest simplest answer i can think of is... basically quantum effects dominate and require that the background thermal noise be eliminated to be pervasive. Its like tryin…

    Yeah this is almost common at this point, specifically with carbon nano structures. The reason why is it is very expensive to manufacture specific structures but cheap and easy to …

    If this is a legitimate concern perhaps they can launch a second set of satellites to block peak sunlight.

    It's a good point. There is a target on the back of scientists who do research that is perceived as social science but is infact biology. Seems like they then construct myths of wa…

    174 scientists either at the NIH or funded by the NIH have won the Nobel prize. https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/what-we-do/nih-almanac/nobel-l... Odds are if you or someone you know …

    Assuming this was orchestrated by a nation state I wonder what the goal is? Just causing mayhem and incurring cost? Is there some specific function of these cables? Is this a negot…

    At my current place of work our entire Product org is tech illiterate and it's such a loss. In engineering we built a data science team to do their job for them and serve up pretty…

    If you join a company and are confronted with dozens of PR comments - assuming this process isn't sufficiently well documented - see if a tech lead or manager will host an open for…

    I love the way our SWE jobs are evolving. AI eating the simple stuff, generating more code but with harder to detect bugs... I'm serious, it feels that we can move faster with thes…

    "ship it now, it's easy to ship, I don't care about the team" Heh and people wonder why we have such toxic managers in the valley.

    I'm having a hard time putting this into words. Apologies if this isn't terribly clear. As easy as it is to dismiss tech hype - nothing wrong with doing that honestly - autonomous …
