I also hate them, along with “go to market” and “customer focused”.

I like your origin idea, but “cloud-native” is practically an oxymoron. Somehow taking a simple native application and perverting it to the cloud with added layers of abstraction in both the client and the server is somehow “cloud native”?

Makes downtown New York seem like “natural living”.

Far less promising companies with zero profits often have thousands more employees…

It’s flashy, but nearly completely devoid of any substance.

The latest Claude models are spooky. About 100x faster then a senior developer snd utterly spooky in the speed and depth of analysis.

This isn’t the “hallucinate everything” style of model like the earlier GPT models…

Of course it’s a joke.

In order to be “patient 0”, he’d have to be human in the first place…

Especially all at once..

They could have done 10% a year for the next 2-3 years, but the immediate financial gratification wouldn’t be satisfied

Copilot going to pick up the slack of 25% of the workforce?

I feel like gaming controllers for PCs never gained popular acceptance.

Sure, there are advantages to using a keyboard+mouse in a FPS game but it’s a much different gaming experience than a handheld controller.

Sounds like that classic joke about a hunter finding his friend unconscious - the one where the dispatcher asks if the friend is dead…

The math is one thing, but I find the idea that the fundamental pieces of reality aren’t particles a little unsettling.

The classic double-slit experiment is kinda bizarre when one considers the “single electron” case.

The SAD algorithm looks neat!

How long does it take? Wouldn’t there be a large range of offsets? Or does limiting the minimum distance help mitigate such?

I suppose there could be corner cases in which an object with regular pattern could be misinterpreted as being far away ?

That’s exactly what I meant. When one makes a larger change, they tend to be a bit more thorough.

The tiny 2 or 3 line change that fixes a problem doesn’t always get the same critical thought process.

When it crosses subsystems rarely crossed, there are often nasty surprises.
