Ever so slightly, definitely not as bad as the senate.
I'm all for doubling the size of the house, but that's more to combat gerrymandering. The larger the size of the house, the harder and less impactful it is to gerrymander. Though before that I'd definitely push for federal anti-gerrymandering legislation.
In my experience, product. There’s a pervasive view that product is easy, that anyone working in it is a dunderhead who gets in the way of engineers doing the really worthwhile work. In reality, it would just mean they rewrite the software five times and have zero customers.
Oh, design too. I’ve met many engineers who simply don’t see any value in design.
This. I'm a former teacher. I left to get a PhD in educational psychology, and now I'm a data scientist for a large school division. The number of ed tech companies I interact with who clearly have little grasp of research-based best practices in education is staggering. But they can all build slick-looking websites and dashboards.
Literally everything. Just pick a topic and you'll see SWEs on Hacker News prognosticating about it as if they knew everything while knowing nothing but the surface.
If HN is any indication, many devs have hilariously naive beliefs regarding economics and philosophy and will absolutely refuse to engage with actual arguments or experts within those fields.
I don't think it is much of a problem that dabblers get into Internet arguments about things they are not experts in. After all the easiest way to get a correct answer/learn something is to say something wrong.
Of course this should be differentiated from a professional setting.
And under no circumstances should we put that stuff into the knowledge bases we base our "AI" on without making sure it takes into account the context.
> It's just that now it looks a lot more polished.
Yes, and that is the problem. It used to be if a product looked polished it was fairly polished engineering wise as well if we compare to todays AI slop. You can see that on steam, before AI slop games a game that looked polished mostly worked. But today you can get a game that looks like they put in a lot of effort, but its all AI slop and everything is flaky and broken, I've had way more such experiences the last few months than before that.
A human coder that was capable of coding a complex game typically also was good enough and tested things to make most things work. There were bugs etc, but at least buttons did things.
Engineers cosplay as physicists and mathematicians every day. What's your point? Think of it pragmatically. If they can do the job they can do the role.
Can they do the job? Because right now, government decisions are based on AI generated code, which was verified by nobody who can do that. So the cost of an unsatisfactory answer is quite high.
This already exists as something called dot phrases, which most doctors are familiar with. These are typically shared and refined and highly useful. You can find plenty of resources online as well.
This is just a hacky way of doing the same thing, all on your own, and a tremendously silly way to do it. Which makes sense because this is literally just an ad.
It'd have been interesting for them to discuss it, but from what I understand it looks like MCAS is probably an entirely separate thing (that can also be triggered by COVID), but because of the overlap in symptoms, many people who assumed they have long COVID actually had MCAS. And even after teasing those two out, there may be more conditions in the long COVID bucket.
This is a blog on the root cause. MCAS would be an intermediate mechanism in making you feel sick, but something must have triggered the MCAS. Thats the autoimmune response.
MCAS is the underlying condition, which is then triggered by a Covid infection. This results in an escalation of baseline symptoms, which is what Long Covid is
This is the one case where management is right, they had to drag my (FAANG) org kicking and screaming into the AI future and it was worth it. We are moving 3-10x faster (team dependent).
Now the engineers I know that had the same skeptical tone as OP are the ones singing its praises and doing cool shit with it.
From what little you're saying, you guys might be more productive now and writing better code, finally decently documented, or you just hopped onboard a speeding slop train, or something to be defined in between. Hard to tell which.
Having long ago built an app that does gamecasts for multiple sports, similar to what you get from ESPN, every sport is completely different. There's almost nothing that matches up, except for the very basic concept of a box score. Even play by play has enough differences to be vastly different
I never once built an app for gamecasts, any sport, but even I do realize that sports are different... Not sure what made you(s) believe I'm suggesting the exact same UI for all the sports.
