  • We’re not there yet. Right now, AI development still requires someone to stitch it all together. It’s a VERY useful tool when you’re trying to dig through twenty years of docs and issue threads (lookin at you Drupal) and it’s a massive time saver, but at best it just sort of guesses at what you’re wanting based on patterns that you’ve already established in code. All this will do is allow the to produce more code, cheaper. It might be true that there won’t be developers who don’t use AI in the future, but as long as business reqs are created and interpreted by people, sometimes going to need to be in charge of it to make sure the machine is interpreting things the way that it’s supposed to.
















  • I’m making this claim based on the Wright Bros exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and space museum…

    One of the genius things that they did was invent scaled testing (I’m not 100% sure I can make this claim, but I’d be happy to learn it I was wrong). Rather than building the device and testing it, which killed a lot of people through history, they built miniature components and tested them individually to prove concepts, and THEN built their production version in iterations.

    Like, to test airfoil designs, they built a table top sized wind tunnel, put a miniature airfoil in, and evaluated its performance, and made determinations for the final product. This SIGNIFICANTLY lowered design costs and prototyping at the time.

    This also happened to result in an airplane.


  • I really liked him. Get him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.

    Innocent until proven guilty, so I’m going to hold off on judgement ( not that my judgement matters). There seems to be A LOT working against him here. He’s not cancelling tours and losing his agent if people thought this was unfair - sometimes up.

    There’s a lot of rape apologists in this thread though. As much as he’s innocent before proven guilty, so is his accuser. “All it takes is an accusation to ruin a perfectly good career”. Y’all should be ashamed. That doesn’t happen without MAJOR consequences for a false accusation, as well as consequences for any media outlet that ruins the story without due diligence. It’s extremely hard to prove rape cases, meaning that if it’s gotten this far, there’s enough evidence to put it into print. This is global news, and NOBODY has come out with any compelling story as to why the accuser is lying.

    Bottom line, none of us really understand what actually happened, and everyone seems too eager to write off Brand or his accuser. Chill out. More info will come.
