- Comment on How long do you think until AI writes and debugs code better than the average programmer? 1 year ago:
Individual scripts/modules and even simple microservices: not long… provided the AI isn’t actively poisoning itself right now.
Writing, securing, and maintaining complex applications: We’d need another breakthrough.
Since my role is often solutions architecture I’ve been worried about cloud systems engineering being something that’s immediately vulnerable. But after working with AWS’s Q for a couple hours, I am less worried. But if someone made an AI to create a cloud provider that is well (and accurately) documented, consistent in functionality and UX, and which actually has all the features that get announced in its own blog posts; then AI might be able to run it.
- Comment on Why are LED power supplies called Drivers and not Ballasts? 1 year ago:
The way that it was explained to me it that “driver” is shorthand for “constant voltage driver” and ballasts provide an initial startup voltage the is different from the constant one they go on to provide.
- Comment on Am I the only one pissed off at these holiday sales? (US) 1 year ago:
Yes. Either my patience for all the sales has fully evaporated or the sales themselves are becoming truly insufferable (or both), because at this point I do as little shopping Thanksgiving week as possible. And this year I used “Black Friday” sales emails as a reminder to unsubscribe from things.
