1. Creation and rapid iteration

2. Review (may be in multiple rounds)

3. Implementation and iteration

4. Maintenance and learning

Missing step 5: Promotion and deprecation

I always loved the adventure/exploring/open world aspect of games as a kid

As an adult a lot of that interest has just turned into interest in traveling to other countries, and doing outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or 4x4ing

I still like gaming but to me real life is like the ultimate open world game to explore once you’re an adult and have money

My one unpopular movie opinion is that cloud atlas is waaay underrated

I think the complicated story/narrative threw a lot of people off from appreciating it

Really good movie to re-watch multiple times, the scope of that movie is crazy

Because they actually care about the patients and the work is critical?

You can’t just job hop like in tech?

It’s like everyone on this site views the whole world through a super narrow “tech worker” lense and assume every job works the same and everyone has the same motivations as people in tech

Most of the non-remote devs I know who bought places in recent years had to move to the outskirts of a big city if they didn’t want a tiny 1br apartment

Usually like ~1 hour outside the city center

It’s called probation

There’s too many models

People generally only care about seeing reviews for the current models available to purchase, which is already handle by sites like Amazon

What use is a review for a 10 year old TV you can no longer purchase?

It’s not like a movie where people are still watching it many years later

I hate the whole attitude the industry has towards AI models, it just seems so sloppy compared to software of the past

It’s like “yeah we don’t really know what it’s going to do and it might screw up but whatever just launch it”

Really surprised me that so many companies are willing to jump into LLMs without any guarantee that the output won’t be something completely insane

What do you think the incentive is for those developers to fix these issues?

Do you think fixing bugs gets you promoted?

If you’re ever wondering “why does company do X”, look at the incentives

Outcomes follow incentives and products are reflections of the organizations that created them

Generating a video offline and doing it in real-time are very different problems

You can spend days generating one frame of the video offline

Whereas realtime you need to generate a frame in the magnitude of 30-40ms

It’s kinda pointless to say though

You can’t uninvent something

Exactly, you can’t put it back in the box

The only thing I can imagine is like limiting people’s compute power

But even then they’d just go do it in another country or use an online service based in another country

How do you avoid that problem where you have 30 random fields that are only relevant to other teams/projects

It gets ridiculously bloated

What do you like/dislike about both careers?

Some people do have to give up their goals/dreams

Yours just happened to be still doable

I’m imagining a developer in the 90s/00s reading this list and being baffled by the complexity/terminology

Some possible reasons:

* Better for mechanics as it’s standardized and they don’t have to figure out the UI of every car model to read the codes (if I were a mechanic I’d definitely prefer just plugging in the meter)

* The debugging is decoupled from the infotainment/dash so it’s more reliable, it would be pretty dumb if you had to have a working infotainment system to read engine codes

* An OBD meter is like $20?

* Historically a lot of cars probably had no display for showing codes

After watching a bunch of reviews I feel like the eyes on the outside is the “Touch Bar” of the AVP.

Something that sounds cool in theory but Apple will eventually drop in future models as it just adds extra complexity/cost for little benefit.

Confession: I fast forward when Lex is speaking

Honestly yeah it’s that dull

At big companies the attitude is almost like: clock in, do the minimum, clock out

I used to work at a startup and it was probably the funnest time of my whole career despite the bad pay

I wouldn’t go back but I do miss it sometimes

Because that proves you didn’t photoshop it after taking it or sign an AI generated image

Would it be possible for cameras to have a hardware private key?

And then sign the images in hardware so that you can prove an image came from a specific camera and hasn’t been altered?

Why?

Your phone already comes with lots of apps you didn’t install

How is that any different at all?

Of all the things to complain about Apple this seems like the minor-est

I doubt that because low income/low skill jobs almost all involve doing stuff in the real world

Cleaning, food prep, labor, retail, etc…

It’s jobs that exist in the digital realm that are way more likely to be automated in the near term

Can someone give me an actual example of what jobs you think are going to be replaced by these AIs?

I feel like these discussions are always so high level/hand wavy
