But it does help with marketing and showing off our tech.
The Silicon Valley tech jobs we have now has a history rooted in World War 2 and funding of it by the US gov.

I’m not saying war is good or anything, but also don't ride a high horse cause none of it would be here w/o WW2.
There wouldn’t be a Silicon Valley without World War 2 and US gov. funding of Stanford to develop radar basically.
The initial investment from then gave critical capital mass for Stanford, the VCs, and the tech companies of today.
half sarcasm, half real-talk.
TDD is nice, but human coders barely do it. At least AI can do it more!
The random sizing today is great:
* If you want a better fit, go physically to a store instead of shopping online and try them on.
* the vanity part is also fine, no need to cause outrage at raising the number and making people depressed cause they think they're even more "fat". It doesn't need to be "optimized"
* Only serves online retail to "standardize", but guess what, 15th standard also sucks... <cue xkcd comic about standards>.
Enjoyed the presentation of the site. :)
Model improvements will take care of the rest.
If the function is a black box, but you’re sure the inputs produces a certain output without side effects and is fast, do you NEED “good code” inside?
After about 10yrs of coding, the next 10 of coding is pretty brainless. Better to try and solve people/tech interaction problems than plumbing up yet-another-social/mobile/gaming/crypto thing.
human written code is similarly fine. Save for very few human individuals.
We have clothes and materials like gortex now that blocks rain and snow no handmade jacket could ever hope to perform at the same level to be lightweight AND dry.
Have OpenAI Codex do code reviews, it’s the best one so far at code reviews. Yes, it’s ironic (or not) that the code writer is not the best reviewer.
The uncomfortable truth is that the skill of _writing_ code is becoming commoditized.
Reading, understanding, designing efficient systems, and planning changes based on that, at least for now, will still be for human experts (and AI already a great assist here).
But churn out yet another webpage/website? People doing this will need to move on from this as their primary job.
No show —> not easy enough —> too lazy to look it up, already got python/go/ruby quick cli methods. LLM generated even easier.
Probably need another cycle of similar breakthrough in model engineering before this more complex neural network gets a step function better.
Moar data ain’t gonna help. The human brain is the proof: it doesnt need the internet’s worth of data to become good (nor all that much energy).
a nothing burger article with no real ideas.
Culturally, chabuduo is more of an excuse/greed of the lazy to convince you it’s close enough [that it won’t make a difference to you] and they’re too lazy or out of patience, for many reasons they also don’t want to explain to you.
