It's a real thing! ...or is it a placebo?

i know what that is ... i was mentioning caffeine withdrawal to argue against the idea of coffee/caffeine as a placebo. a form of rhetoric that is ironic [^].
cheers, bill

If they didn't accept it / care about it with other way more obvious things... are they going to care about the VPN?

4 tips for programmers to stay ahead of generative AI With Natural Intelligence?
|
|
|
|

Ah, yes, "prompt engineering," the new panacea for AI disruptive chaos.
Another tip: experiment with Chats on a secure machine at home, and keep silent at work about what you are trying ... until it will impress those who matter by demonstrating it adds value.

We are the Software Engineers who say NI!

We bust persistent myths about migrating your workloads to a large cloud provider like AWS. "It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise."

Interesting depth review of go-cloudy issues.Quote: THE REALITY: Migrating to the cloud is a complex process that calls for subject matter experts with deep cloud technology expertise to manage the project. A successful migration requires an experienced team. Ideally, those individuals include a migration solutions architect, data architect, cloud solutions architect, enterprise architect, and IT or DevOps engineer. Those are specialized skill sets, and while one person can wear many hats, the roles are not interchangeable.
Of course, this, and the rest of the article, are a promotion of Redis amd AWS (the authors' employer) as being uniquely able to take on these challenges.

In a recent interview with Peter H. Diamandis for the Moonshots and Mindsets Podcast, Emad Mostaque, the founder and CEO of Stability AI, made a bold prediction: “There will be no programmers in five years.” "News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in"
Or, I suppose: "Where do you want to be in five years?"
I think this is going to go down with all the accuracy of, "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home"

"Mostaque’s argument is supported by data from GitHub, which reveals that an astounding 41 percent of all code currently in existence is AI-generated."
How that is possible? He counts tool generated code, too, or AI is doing the same thing over and over?
