Insanity

At the risk of sounding stupid. Doesn’t this mean it would mask actual kidney disease? So you’d be ignoring potential warning signs.

I mean the ideal sales window within a year, e.g period leading up to Christmas.

I guess because they also learn there’s still plenty of money to be made in other engineering domains. And to be honest, I think games are a good stepping stone towards a career in software engineerin…

The games industry is notorious for this, yet far from the only industry working against deadlines. Deadlines are a good way to timebox work, but they need to be set in a realistic way rather than an …

I’m not really sure why someone would hire Ive to design a car. I don’t know much about him, but to me he’s mostly known for designing Apple products, not luxury vehicles. Hiring someone because of th…

Reads like more AI fearmongering because it fits a convenient narrative.

+1. It seems like there is just a vocal minority who complain about the missing HW buttons etc. I’m sure Amazon has enough actual customer data to make their product decisions based on what moves the …

There is a Kindle Color<something>. Haven’t used that yet either.

Yea, but I’m not sure customers or mgmt get that

Code quality matters to engineers. Find a senior manager who cares. Or worse, find a customer who cares. While they obviously want a high quality product, no outages, a responsive system etc, I don’t …

In fairness, Chime had tons of internal use and I quite liked it. For Kiro, I agree with you, it seems like wasted effort and Anthropic / OpenAI are miles ahead in their tooling.

Wonder if Amazon will do the same with CC and Kiro now that we internally have access to both. I think Kiro might have some “first mover” advantage internally, but CC feels better to use.

TBH that is what attracted me to Pulumi to manage IaC. My brain doesn’t find YAML appealing as a configuration language, and having a known fully-fledged language available makes life a bit easier.

You snor so loud it damages your own hearing? Can you wear ear plugs to sleep?

Sounds like they vibe coded that instead. Google has such poor UX flows at times, it doesn’t surprise me.

Agreed, but I think that might be our tech bubble. My non-tech family still just types searches in the URL bar of their browser first, and I'm sure others just have google as their browser homepa…

They used a puppet to play Rocky? Was not sure how they did it, don’t think I would really care, but that’s cool.

I wonder how much the 'inflection point' is a thing vs marketing. I'm sure the models got somewhat better, but even now when I'm trying to 'vibe code' a game with the lat…

True, I agree. But it does suck working in tech on a “medium” salary when your overseas colleagues do the same work and earn much more. What I probably miss the most about EU (apart from family) is go…

This is a fair point to be honest. But I about 4x’d my take-home salary and get to work on more cutting edge tech, with more impact than in EU. I did work on some cool medical device and ML tech back …

As a European I want mistral and EU to do well. But at the same time, I wouldn’t actually give up my well paid engineering job outside of EU to even entertain working for them in EU. Too low salaries …

Only somewhat. I’d argue the internet could be considered a basic utility to function in the modern world, yet that just builds on electricity.

Technically (nitpicking) it mentions no _approved_ vaccine. There can be vaccines without being approved for use in said countries. But I have no clue how far along vaccines are, and even if they exis…

High token usage does not mean high token usage in the same session / context window. But yeah, context rot hits hard, I find that with Codex/GPT5.4 after about 50% context window usage it&#…

Devil's advocate - this is a forcing function to get people to try out AI whom might be reluctant to try it. I'm speaking from personal experience, I was 'forced' to use the tools …

I’m in Toronto, my doctor always asks me if they can use the AI note taker, which I accept. At the end of the consultation she goes over the notes and corrects it, often complaining to me about having…

Yeah, if you now check for 'pc is stuck' by wiggling your mouse, you suddenly eat up more resources if it actually was getting stuck, making matters worse. But at least your AI can then tell…

Agreed, Pixelbook does sound better that Googlebook. But maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it

Take this with a bucket of salt because I haven't read much on this topic. But just reasoning 'rationally', I assume the argument is that the Iliad / Oddysey were told in cultures …

IMO if you show an error to end users it needs to be actionable. Tell them what to do instead (e.g retry or wait, use other input file, etc etc). So don't say "InvalidArgumentException xyz&q…
