I think they meant questions unrelated to the current tasks.

AI agents and Junior engineers both have their pros and cons. But this column definitely goes to the human engineers.

I had no idea at the time that I’d miss those annoying questions once all the juniors are gone.

I don’t think so. The people responsible will have their golden parachutes, while the rest of us will have to deal with the full blown recession.

the alternative is the Apple approach, where everything they can’t a compelling use-case for is blocked.

Valve targets a different audience, mostly full of people who explore advanced use cases and demand flexibility to do so.

Ha! Good luck with that.

Most white collar workers equate collective bargaining to “being a greedy thief”

Saying hi from my 2013 Dell XPS 13" laptop (8GB RAM).

No I didn’t dig it out to make a point. It’s my main laptop.

It’s had Arch Linux on it for the last 13 years, and I haven’t really noticed things getting slower. There are some websites that make Chrome chug, but if I stick to sensible ones things are just… normal.

Yes, but someone has to host the data.

Your customers trust your company to host that data because they know you meet certain standards when it comes to security, privacy, and whatever other data handling requirements matter to them.

You can make the same agreements with your suppliers that your customers make with you to ensure their handling of data meets your (and your customer’s) requirements. In this case, the “supplier” is the company that hosts the AI models.

I used to think that would be the best approach, but then I watched Star Citizen’s development. Without the pressure of a publisher, the creative leads got to focus 100% on their vision.

Turns out that means unbelievable (to us) scope. creep. Creative visionaries are great at their creative vision, but not so much at managing schedules and running a business. They need to butt heads with someone that cares about the money so that their compromise ends up being the masterpiece we all love.

I work for a very large company that owns their AI, so that’s not a concern in my case.

But even if I wasn’t, I would assume the company would have negotiated a contract with whoever provides the AI that meets their requirements. That’s above my pay grade.

I would never use a personal AI for company code. Even if public AI offerings aren’t blocked on corporate devices, that sounds like a great way to get in trouble for mishandling company IP.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by code leaks here. Like if the AI agent decided to take the proprietary code and post it on social media for some reason?

The same guard rails the humans had are in place for the AI agents too (not that they were super effective for humans to begin with).

But it doesn’t cost billions of dollars and several years to spin up new manufacturing capacity for freaking PCBs.

This shortage should sort itself out much sooner than the memory crisis.

I work in driver developer and once I gave them access to the software verification platforms we use and the lab machines containing the test silicon, the quality improved drastically.

Most of my job is now interacting with people because those things can’t meaningfully turn business requirements into architecture yet.

Whatever medium you compile this playlist into, please share it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I don’t know if Microsoft employees are actually dissatisfied with Satya’s leadership.

Most of them own Microsoft stock so when the company does dumb shit like this that raise their stock price, they all personally get richer.

Lol no. That’s not how our brains work. Mindshare is everything

Nope, being labelled a supplement not only lets you bypass approvals, but the FDA legally can’t inspect or investigate your product until after people start getting sick.

All 50 states.

How old is this post?!

Y’all are foaming at recycled ragebait!

I wonder if recycling ragebait is better for the environment than manufacturing fresh ragebait every time 🤔

Get out of here with your nuanced takes and reading entire articles!

This is Lemmy good sir, and we crucify people based on general vibes and extreme positions!

Off to the downvotes!

In the front seats, right? Everyone (even I agree rightfully so) got mad about the rear passengers not having one.

Most of them. One of them is going on a cross-country road-trip vacation with his dogs, another quit his job and bought a giant plot of land in the middle of nowhere to focus on gardening, another is finishing up her training to become an airline pilot (which reminds me I should give her a call - we haven’t hung out since we got our private pilot’s licenses together).

But the point being is that as people get older they have other things going on that keep them busy, even if they haven’t chosen to start a family.

tl;dr: don’t worry kids. I promise the next stage of your life (whatever you chose to do) will be as awesome to you as your current life

Being told this all through my 20s I was terrified of getting older and being super lonely.

What those people didn’t tell is that as you get older, your desires change. Like… it was fun hanging out with my friends playing games and chilling all day during school/university. I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything.

But these days I’d much rather spend time with my wife and son. And I suspect it’s the same for my old friends, which is why we only hang out once in 6 weeks.
