I really wish running your own mastodon was as accepted as running your own email server. There’ll be no “blue check mark” problem if your company runs the server and only provides accounts to employees.

No. The have nag screens for donations, but they don’t block on principle.

Biggest button needs to be “Disable lane keeping assist” and that should sort most of the stress he refers to.

I think you’re underestimating how badly it taught them. I see a lot of developers (when interviewing) that are unable to reason about code.

Lot’s of people learn how to cook by following recipes, but they don’t try to get work in catering or running restaurants. That requires a different level of understanding.

SO was the coding recipe book. It was fine for hobbyists. Not professionals.

As a senior developer I have no idea how I’d get an AI to autonomously keep a small subsystem maintained. If I was replacing junior developers, that’s what it has to do.

Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability. You learn by doing. No dogsbodies doing busy work.

Honestly SO fuelled the rise of the cut and paste developer. I won’t be that sad to see the end of it, and the LLMs that scraped it soon after.

"New ChatGPT with Ads!

Giving you that Google feeling once again. "

Armies on paid personal generating content?

I see absolutely no problem with that.

Just wait until there’s no stack overflow to scrape.

I think it comes down to how it’s used.

An LLM model is nothing unless it’s used to process some other things. It does something. It predicts the likeliness of words following a sequence of other words. It has no other purpose. It can’t take the model, analyse it in a different way and extract different conclusions. It is singular in function. It is a program.

Data has no function. It is just data.

Is Maxine code “code”? And I don’t mean assembler, I mean the binary stream read by the processor.

I’d say yes. People have programmed it. It’s where the verb “to code” comes from.

These models are no different. They are binary streams that encode a function, a program, into a form that can be interpreted by a machine. Yes, a computer generated the code, but that’s nothing new.

AI isn’t code

Yes it is. It defines a function from input to output. It’s not x86 or Arm code. It’s code that runs on a different type of machine. It’s a type of code that you may not be able to read, but it’s still code.

Is 20% faster than intel a step up, generation on generation?

Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla

Self driving is a huge step on from these things though. Hyper cruise control is easy in comparison and that’s what those features give.

Self driving means capable in all situations and all conditions. Not just highways.

Getting interview practise is no bad thing. Being interviewed is a skill you learn to be sure.

I think a lot of people miss that interviews in the technical world are often not smartly dressed exams. Some are, but those are probably jobs where they won’t mentor you and invest in you. They expect you to come fully developed.

Good interviewers are trying to imagine you as an every-day team member. Will you…

• …work well with others?
• …be engaged with the problem space?
• …ask for clarifications or just make assumptions to avoid appearing “dumb”?
• …let a lack of knowledge on something become a road block?

Knowledge is easy to give you. These things are much harder to teach.

Also, knowledge based questions might be designed to find your limit. So if you don’t know something, that doesn’t mean it’s pointless from that point on. The interviewer may just have pushed you to your limit, and only they know if that was good enough. Keep going, stay engaged.

I don’t know if any of that helps you design your bot, but maybe it gives you some ideas about being an interviewer.

Worse than that. Fraud. He’s scammed people out of millions.

I personally don’t think it’s a matter of more sensory input. Whilst Lidar wouldn’t be a bad thing, autonomous cars are just a problem current technology can’t solve.

This sounds like a scapegoat.

And with all due respect if “success” in being a restaurateur is mostly catering to influencers who care more about how your food looks than tastes and are often wasteful and don’t even eat any of it, all while overworking the restaurant staff to make it happen… Fuck success.

Makes you wonder if a “Take a selfie with our prop food” menu item that was £2-3 would be a good idea. Deal with influencer crap quickly, still make a bit of money off it, and keep the actual customers who want to eat your food happy.

So important it’s posted somewhere lots of people can’t read it.
