I would backtrack this slightly. If I were to be more clear, I'd say that:

1. The type of software projects I manage are about to be worthless

2. Managing software development (in a project manager way) the way it happens at my employer is also soon going to be a worthless skill (or at least, massively lowered in demand)

I agree that the human understanding component in translating business needs to software will be one of the longer lived job functions.

The manic abuse by the glibc devs of the gnu symbol/module versioning makes linux ABI stability extremely attractive (actually even ISO work has a smell of planned obsolescence nowdays).

This is a very good idea... since I decided to do exactly that for many of my personal projects and I started years ago.

That said, "clone" syscall is the easy part. For newcomer, a gentle introduction and explanation of the volontary cpu yielding "futex" synchronization primitive is kind of much more important, or we'll end up with spinlocks everywhere. Often, you need 2 "futexes" to build higher level synchronization primitives. One of the good things here is educational: it shows how much expensive a cpu yielding synchronization primitive is since usually it is "hidden" by the POSIX API.

Yeah, see, this is what you've been trained to believe by people with an agenda against addressing systemic reform. They have made you a really great little political pawn.

As another poster said:

> When pressed to define the term, Ron Desantis’s general counsel provided this definition:

>> the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them

So to people who understand the term this way, which apparently includes a conservative political front runner's legal counsel, what you're saying when you are using "woke" as a pejorative is that there are no such injustices and it is silly to believe otherwise. Which is why people with that understanding of the word would rightly think all sorts of ungenerous things about you for saying that.

Which is just fine, as far as the people pushing your definition are concerned, since further divide and unreasonable discourse helps cement their base.

The cheaper sensors detect volatile organic compounds, and assume that CO2 level correlates with that. This isn't necessarily true. BigClive tested one, and called it a party detector[0], because it was great at picking up alcohol, but not so good at detecting when a literal stream of CO2 was blasted at it.

My best buddy works at Google. We talk a lot.

People are in fear due to ChatGPT and the lack of a cohesive plan to get Google to be competitive. Putting lots of hours on a failed strategy makes no sense, and as long as Sundar is leading the company, the rational strategy is rest and vest while working on skills for the next gig.

My take is that leadership feels the same, and Sundar is also resting and vesting...

Post-GPT Computing
More generally, if you don’t/haven’t lived in the United States (or have only ever visited/lived in a large city,) and only consume “mainstream” US-based news, like the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, etc., you’ll get a center-left-slanted view of the United States.

The first problem with that, from the perspective of forming an accurate view of the populace, is that, as a whole, the US leans ever-so-slightly center-right[0].

The second problem is that much of our political news is a circus whereby both political parties attempt to paint a picture that the “majority” of the country is behind more extreme interpretations of their platforms — that the country leans more heavily to the left or the right than it really does. The Republican Party has been doing this for more than a generation; its a more recent phenomenon with the Democrats.

Finally, a proper screen size instead of toy-level 13 inches. You cannot code on a 13-inch display (unless you have eagle's eyes and use tiny font) and it feels like the only use for 13-inch laptop is to watch videos and photos on social network sites while sitting in a cafe which makes it a toy, not a real laptop for work (but Apple seems to be selling such toy laptops successfully).

By the way the current trend is to install wide, but low height screens. What's the use of such screens? For coding, reading articles or working with documents height is more important than width, but manufacturers lower the height and extend the width.

Regarding keyboard layout, it is designed poorly: it has small Up/Down keys (easy to hit the wrong key) and it doesn't have Page Up/Down and End/Home keys which are necessary for coding or working with documents (but it has useless CapsLock key). What is the intended use of the keyboard? To post short messages on social network sites. They seem to copy the layout from toy laptops without much thinking about the target audience. They claim that "Whether you’re a gamer, developer, heavy Linux user, creator, or have other performance-demanding work, the Framework Laptop 16 is built to be customized to your needs.". No, your keyboard doesn't match the needs of those audiences (except for gamers and vi users who can program even on a calculator).

Also, many non-Latin based languages have more that 26 letters, but the keyboard doesn't offer additional keys for those letters, and two additional keys to switch to Latin and non-Latin layout. Nobody seems to care about this. Not Apple, not Framework, nor ordinary laptop vendors do not want to adapt keyboards to non-Latin languages and think that 26 keys should be enough for everyone.

How to Detect Bad Studies – With a Widely Reported Misleading Study on Dementia
One of my favorite things for keyboards is the ThinkPad feature where the Page Up and Page Down is above the Left and Right key. I don't understand why others don't do this, its so practical.

Specially in cases like this, there is just an empty space there. Why not put 2 more keys?

ThinkPad also makes them full sized keys, that would be even better. But just having empty space? Why?

That is not the focus of the article at all. The very first paragraph starts with a sympathetic quote of Da Vinci's.

You've invented a strawman and then sneered at the author for not following through with it, and then, it seems, you became overly sensitive about the comment on androgyny with Mona Lisa, as if that comment is offensive and denigrating (it's not, and the author didn't intend it as such, but it does reveal that you think it is offensive).

Just asking, which language model is capable of extracting 5s of a video automatically?
I have this conversation literally every single time I join a team. (I am tech lead and/or manager and it is usually my responsibility to shape the development process).

People are definitely NOT taking twice as much time per-person to write a piece of code.

First of all, code review is already a cost tacked onto development to ensure quality. So one could say code reviews are a waste of time. Well... not necessarily. It is always cheaper to catch and fix an error closer to the source of the error. When the error happens in prod it may be costing your company millions, but the same error caught in review may mean a cost of somebody's 1h review and half a day to fix it and then re-review it.

So we are saying: it is better to spend a bit of extra effort upfront than let those quality problems spew uncontrolled into codebase and production environment.

Naively, pair programming means one person writes the code and another "watches" and catches errors. But that's not what is happening. People discuss the course of action so you usually already get better result with two people doing it. Then there is the fact that if one person would get stuck it is usually much faster to get unstuck with another person involved.

And you get other effects, too. For example, I find it impossible to procrastinate when working in pair with another person. It would be just disrespectful to the other person to be wasting time while we are both assigned and expected to produce results.

All this means that not only the quality is better than if one person worked on it, but also the work progresses much faster.

I would also suggest that in many businesses the most important factor is not development efficiency per se, but how fast can you deliver a given result. Meaning, if business figures out they want capability X, how fast you can provide it.

To get to X you create a project with tasks. Any project will have critical path and adding more resources to the project will not speed up the project at all. The only way to speed up the project is to either change the critical path to a shorter one or speed up the tasks on critical path.

There is normally very few ways to speed up development tasks. You can reassign them to your best/fastest devs. You can produce more technical debt. That's about it.

So working in pairs offers an invaluable ability to speed up the development process without creating more technical debt and without using your critical resources.

And yet another effect is scaling your development operations. Normally, adding more developers to the project creates more efficiency. Twice larger development team will not be twice more efficient. Working in pairs counteracts this problem a bit, ie. it lets the team be twice as large at the same level of efficiency/complexity. Any techniques that let you stave off the effects of growing organisation are very valuable.

Yeah I wrote my own plunkylib (which I don't have great docs for yet) which is more about having the LLM and prompts in (nestable) yaml/txt rather than how so many people hard code those in their source. I do like some of the features in langchain, but it doesn't really fit my coding style.

Depends on what they're afraid of.

If they think they can catch OpenAI, and they want to charge for AI services, then what they're doing makes sense.
And all you need to do is pay a sysadmin or two in pizza to operate them :-)

Dedicated servers are undoubtedly cheaper in some circumstances than even a well-managed AWS account. But you do need to account for redundancy (including staffing), scaling up, possibly geographic replication, etc.). Setting up a dedicated server is just the beginning and be sure to take into account all costs--as is the case on a cloud provider too of course.

Maybe don't generalize your personal experience. Working with almost anything can give you carpal tunnel. Is there any evidence carpal tunnel is more likely then with any other input method?
It can be both. For instance you can choose to work within a particular framework when composing and arranging, and this will lubricate some aspects of the process, and give you the confidence that you can actually do it. I'm not a composer myself, but the two bands I'm in both play some original jazz compositions and arrangements. I imagine that trying to come up with a new chart, completely ab initio would be a phenomenal chore. And possibly unplayable. One that we played last night for the first time is about 50 pages of music all told.

Perhaps another explanation is that in between analyzing and creating is the "trick" of borrowing from the past, that is a staple of virtually all creative endeavor.

But people have told me that theory won't help you write catchy melodies. Those come from somewhere, and some people are just good at it. But filling out the 19 parts of a big-band arrangement involves that framework.
