@nntaleb It may not be so bad with literature. The reason painting declined was that it became possible to win by having a distinctive visual brand (rather than painting well). I doubt there's any analogue in literature.

Until photography, painters competed largely on the verisimilitude of representation. Photography destroyed art by making artists switch to absurd images often driven by social contagion.
Now imagine what AI will do to literature.

Do you remember the times when the biggest controversy was spaces vs tabs?

@veldtclix I don't think being bad is what will stop them from replacing us

@eliza_doesstuff they are supposed to replace us lol

@daniel_nguyenx Afaik Garmin uses a simple formula that connects speed with heart rate and some other devices add age and other “features”, so their measurements are better population averaged, but off on an individual level
English
I’ve been using a Miband 10 to track VO2 Max and it turns out to be wildly inaccurate 😭
Switched to a Garmin and it reports +7 points instead.

@thorstenball JIRA has already took advantage of that. Every day, I see the login popup, login with google popup AND an ALERT that jira wants you to login.
At the same time!
English
Good news! There's still some space on the left.
Something could show another tooltip or popup or modal there.

@GergelyOrosz Same for the internal tech support in a company I work for :/ The thing is these bots don’t have to be awful, but they are worse than AI search on Confluence somehow!
English
Amazon used to be the pinnacle for customer support - but now I have to go thru a useless AI bot to connect to a human to fix my problem.
Never thought I'd be this grateful to be talking to a human - these AI support bots are just truly terrible, even for Amazon
English
@GergelyOrosz This is true in my experience. Our company allowed AI and the first candidates I saw either would get stuck or not based on their experience. AI printed code but couldn’t save.
English
Btw this CTO said this interview type works very well. As he told me:
"We get the same signal as pre-AI. That is good engineers who know how to build pass, those 'vibe coding' get stuck. The dev who solved this fastest and best actually didn't use AI - was just a machine"
English
From a CTO at a startup:
"We interview devs by giving them a task to build an app on the spot, from scratch (2x BE endpoints, some frontend.) They can use AI, ofc - and we dig into why they did this or that.
What is surprising: 14/15 devs from Meta failed this screening."

@GergelyOrosz It just really wanted to be helpful! If there are few duplicates, how can it helpful?
English
A recent example: I pasted very long text into Claude, and asked it to identify duplicate parts that can be removed, showing exact quotes.
It hallucinated parts, with quotes, that do not even exist in any input!
English
Every single time an LLM hallucinates, I am grateful:
Grateful that I spotted it, and thus remind myself that any and all LLM output needs to be validated. You can never trust these things 100%, unless you have additional validation in place that is 100% reliable.

I’ve got me a weekend project — prettify my keyboard!

Show me a more aesthetic keyboard than this, I’ll wait....

@ThePrimeagen It’s better than me. I sometimes leave it open 1/2 day. AI will make me 10x faster!

Timeline is excited about the $20k Neo robot. Watch it try to close a dishwasher. We are not ready. 😅
