This is so, painfully, childish. Humans have known for thousands of years that there is no objective truth. Every falsity can be bent and twisted until it is more true than the sun itself.

Strong disagree. Do not conflate hard, human created works with AI slop.

I worked at Mozilla for quite a long time. I can tell you that MANY employees will be reading every comment in this thread. Hello mozillians! Don't forget to do something good for the web tomorrow!

Yeah but, which other llm?

I did that once. The company doubled rsus the next quarter (still didn't make up for it), then the stock price 5xed over the next 3 years. By the end of it, if I had stayed, I would have cleared 1.2M per year.

Although I heard they also fired some of those people with high rsus! So it goes both ways.

How is this the most upvoted comment? I get great joy out of being a great engineer at work. I LOVE solving hard problems and helping people. People at work using my tools or reading my documents brings me joy.

You can do this and release things! Do both!

I agree with this. I am also starting to get a "feeling" of when I can trust an agent and when I can't. Recently I had it throw together a dashboard that displayed some basic linear models based on knobs on the dash, and I didn't really worry about it getting those wrong (I did spot check and it seemed good). But I also had to update a pretty complex flink app with state management changes that it totally borked.

The first task was more self constrained and less production impacting. The latter was detail oriented and required understanding complex distributed systems and state.

I would like to be able to formalize these kinds of tasks. I believe there are lots of confounding variables:

- Access to MCPs

- quality of documentation

- strong existing practices

- examples of similar code nearby

And then we can more easily determine what can be totally handed off and what can't be. I think that last one is most important, but similarly:

- how much this type of algo appears in the training set

Which is maybe part of the "feeling" that we have about what it will do well.

Agreed. Turned into some ai slop quickly.

I wonder the same thing. I only imagine that what comes next is worse: AI companies using vast resources to develop new training data, in house, locked down. They are already doing this with developers and code at Meta. Information will become locked away behind AI paywalls and chatbots.

(referring to melatonin) yeah this is valid. I used to take melatonin every night, found out about the problems with us supply, couldn't find anything nearing 1/2 mg, and gave up. I took kids gummies for a few weeks, but I still think they were 1mg.

I think it should be scaled to the salary of 6 people. So about $3.15

Keep the old number and get a new one. You'll have to gradually switch all 2fa if you want to lose the old number, otherwise keep it forever on a separate device.

Interested to hear more. Auditing dependencies is hard. You fully trust the app restrictions on your phone?

This sounds like such a security risk. It just takes one bad library. Your phone and desktop are not a sandbox.

This is so sad. I have made amazing friends with my colleagues in the past. My days are made better when they can be funny, we can share moments, and we can support each other in hard times. Even remotely I have managed to stay in touch with them. It is a real friendship, built from a decade of learning just how this other person ticks.

Really hope I didn't have to ever give that up.

Your team lost 50-75%? Is that an approximation, or do you just not know? Can't you just count who left to get the actual ratio?

That first chapter lives rent-free in my head. Highly recommend reading it. https://www.scribd.com/document/979965270/Robinson-Kim-Stanl...

This is just a different way if saying that we can't.

For folks with long wait times, maybe the advantage of "immediate access to AI radiologist" beats out "wait for human radiologist"? Would be interesting to weigh those harms against each other.

I literally do not understand this perspective. If that was true they would have let Netflix buy Warner Bros., which would have spun off CNN, and Skydance could have scooped it up for much much less money than buying the entirety of Warner Bros/discovery.

Unbelievable film. I am so appreciative this was made.

Don't most jobs have unmetered access? I know mine does

Iceberg is, primarily, a spec [0]. It defines exactly what data is stored and how it is interacted with. The community debates broadly on spec changes first, see a recent one on cross-platform SQL UDFs [1].

We have yet to see a largely llm driven language implementation, but it is surely possible. I imagine it would be easier to tell the llm to instead translate the Java implementation to whatever language you need. A vibe-coded language could do major damage to a companies data.

Whether or not it's AI written, these very vague stories are not useful.

You want Victorian healthcare? Or privacy? No air conditioning? Dirty air? Horse shit everywhere? No different, people stink, can't shower, and it takes hours of labor to wash clothes without a washing machine?

Almost always they start by having connections that hire them (old colleagues, former friends, etc.), building out those connections (conference talks, doing really good work, writing high quality blogs), and then if you're lucky, some word of mouth.

Your docs are a contact. You can verify that contract using integration tests

I think there's just not enough money in the county to induce more babies. The cost would be a shock. Anyone wealthy enough to shoulder the cost would fight so hard against it, it would never stand a chance. IMO the number is probably something like $10k per year per kid. Foster Care pays somewhere between 8k-12k.

Why would they? Because they are about to do the thing they planned to do for months or years? Because they may be risking their own life? Because they're worried about getting caught rather than following through? Because no matter how prepared they are they have never done that EXACT scenario before at that exact airport with those exact people? Because the human mind is a lizard brain even with training and preparation?

Still not a perfect systems, other countries manage this part much better (I've heard Israel is especially good at it, but I don't have direct evidence).
