Re:Amazon Is Gutting Its AI Division After Sustained Failure on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @07:44PM (#50267478)
But Amazon has so many Applied Scientists even Applied Science managers. Not sure what they do though.
Though old, it was a joy to read. Thanks for sharing.
I always wondered why win11 is so slow, may be this is one of the primary reason

Makes me wonder the kind of startup this peron is working for where slop is encouraged
Re:Git rebase -I is not that scary on Saturday July 25, 2026 @10:50PM (#49054189)
I use rebase so much but it only feels comfortable because I follow a workflow while rebasing.
Re:The unreasonable difficulty of time series forecasting on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @07:49PM (#48999957)
To ensure that your forecaat don't fall outside the range of training dataset you can use some tree based model like Random Forest for time series forecasting which averages out the values.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but AI is not going to play any significant role in a child kearning journey. Such a garbage application for those who need concrete knowlede and not some sloppy answers. Uselss application, I would keep a track about when this application fails.

Writers like the author should go through the trauma of being a victim of juvenile crimes, only then will they stop writing such rubbish.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the cost of creating software has not, bloatware definitely has.
Great analogy all the way through. Also the last 10% takes thre most effort/iteration to get the work done such that you don't spend a lot of time maintaining it later.

Re:Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @04:08AM (#48367364)
An economist exytrpolating tech trends is already a hard sell. And deterministic unreliability is atleast deterministic meaning you can choose to ignore, this is still better than probabilistic AI hubris
Re:Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @12:30AM (#48366070)
I am really surprised that people are comparing dot com with AI. Atleast dot-com era was deterministic, comparatively AI is just a probabalistic unreliable slop
Comments like these make me feel like AI is a computer in the hands of a monkey, and that too the computer which is unreliable.
Hilliariously correct!
Cheaper to make plus unreliable and difficult to maintain. That is lose-lose for everyone involved.
Re:Using AI to write better code more slowly on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @02:56AM (#48276063)
When AI tries to improve such large code base who even is going to review the changes?
