Insanity

Captain Steve breakdown: https://youtu.be/Hx-GFeErXD8?si=iND_BkDrtGNapB7Q His videos are pretty insightful and always respectful. Highly recommended. Expect him to have new videos as …

Speculating - but an iOS app that's build on React Native is not really a 'native iOS app'. Which might have some performance implications etc. Just speculating, I've not done mobi…

When they claimed "Gödel’s findings may seem rather obvious" that kinda put me off of the article. Obvious to whom? It wasn't obvious at the time and I'm sure _most_ people haven&#…

The 'B' in 400B is billion, not bytes. And the quote '640k ought to be enough for everyone' doesn't have evidence supporting Bill G said it: https://www.computerwor…

Thanks for the heads up. For the most part he interviews people with hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers on social media. So not random nobodies, and at least some of the names I’d at …

I think it’s more than just translating to a non-understanding audience. I think it’s their point of view being tainted by the technology of their age, so the firmly believe it’s true. But I agree, it…

The way we humans see ourselves depends a lot on the technology of the time. An example I quite like is that when steam engines were all the rage, Freud compared the brain to a steam engine. Now that …

Only recently learned about the 'red pill' thing by watching the 'manosphere' documentary by Louis Theroux. For others unaware how it relates to the above comment: https:/&#x…

I'm a SWE manager as well. I always tell my team that learning is part of the job, and so it can happen on the job. To be honest, it worked out pretty well. and I lead by example, I'll read …

While I agree with everything you said, Amazon’s problems aren’t just Kiro messing up. It’s a brain drain due to layoffs, and then people quitting because of the continuous layoff culture. While publ…

Sounds like an extension of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_Amnesia_effect , but sub newspaper for large language model.…

Not mutually exclusive, but I thought your initial post painted an overly rosy picture with the sentence "[..] allowing millions of people to finally use the devices they've been sitting in …

I disagree. There's definitely _some_ who will use these tools to build systems for themselves. But do you think the chef who's been pulling insane hours in the restaurant wants to come home…

My SO is now using it. I’m waiting for her impressions to decide if I want to do so. The dentist told me I’d only need it for like 3-4 months, minor corrections. But it seems like such a hassle. Alway…

Oh wow, coincidentally I watched a Chuck Norris film recently with my (90 year old) grandmother, which resulted in me diving down a bunch of Chuck Norris memes for the first time in more than a decade…

Or just give them access to “tokens” as needed by business use-case? Doesn’t make sense to see this as a salary/benefit and then also expect them to use it for work related tasks.

And even if they did go back to normal for the next presidency - why trust it? Their entire political system is set up so that the winds can change entirely every 4 years. If the people voted Trump i…

I was writing it somewhat tongue-in-cheek and not as a serious suggestion. But thanks for adding the disclaimer, that's good advice!

Extend your VRAM using RAM, then extend your RAM using Swap.

That's a positive interpretation. You might be right, either way that's what I pointed them to. I don't think the LLMs will really replace engineers in the foreseeable future, and so le…

Didn't pick up on that when I was there. But I'll say that Chichen is definitely worth a visit and only about a 2h drive from Cancun! You can do a tour with a group like Xcaret so you don&#x…

This gave me a good laugh. I think you got auto-corrected from 'Chichén Itzá', to 'Chicken'.

That's just gambling without any basis for reality though. Not sure if you're actually attributing any weight to random gamblers lol.

Yeah, but I doubt many of the newer generation are going to read this. I manage a team of engineers, and one of the recent-ish graduates asked me in our 1-on-1 if it's still worth learning Python…

It's easy to see this outside of the perspective of a solo game developer. We all have deadlines to manage even in the regular 'corporate world'. And engineering time spent on a problem…

I'm vegetarian and used to live in EU. Strong +1 to this, many more meat alternatives than in Canada/US, and the options taste better whilst being overall healthier. The amount of fat and sa…

Back in Europe I had many good meat alternatives in grocery stores that were quite budget friendly as well. Like vegetarian 'Schnitzel', 'chicken', 'fish'. Here in NA, mo…

For some anecdata, I've set up Qwen3.5 on a RX 7900XTX last weekend. It runs fine, did some simple coding prompts and got responses in 15-30 seconds. It's my first foray into running models …

I guess most of my use is whilst driving, to start/stop music or audiobooks, change navigation etc. Although changing navigation through Siri is somewhat painful as it often gets my intended dest…
