Aha, yes indeed! Given AI right now....
A key theme in the book is the relationship between power and technology. Pynchon explores the idea that those who control technology also wield immense power, and that this power can be both destructive and corrupting.
Super befitting to the current discussion around AI.

Well, they don't seem to want revenue... the amount of comments I've seen of ads staying in pending, and not being able to advertise...
Drop in the ocean though. Pocket change for Elon.

This will spread to corporates as well now. The proliferation of AI is going to make everyone more wary of data being extracted and used incorrectly.

I'm currently building a development platform that has a long term vision of helping to solve this....
I would love to learn from more experienced engineers how they manage the changing requirements, the legacy issues, etc. when managing complex applications. I'm not talking about the code quality itself.

Are they? Or are they simply implementing the innovation of others?

Is anyone actually using ChatGPT to help them with some mundane coding tasks? If so, what?
sergiopreira | 3 years ago | on: Microsoft is preparing to add ChatGPT to Bing
It would be interesting to understand what % of searches actually need ChatGPT. I figure more than 80% don't require it.

Haha! Brilliant. Next is to configure based on "highness"....
sergiopreira | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What’s a Platform Engineer Role?
Yes and no. Platform engineers are generally very skilled developers+ devops that are able to built internal solutions for their colleagues (developers) to be able to deploy to production more effectively. So, basically, a platform engineer is removing obstacles and improving efficiency of your CI/CD pipelines. This can be done with workflows, UIs, etc. A cloud engineer will be able to manage cloud deployments, but may not be able to build these internal tools effectively.

Very cool video. Nicely done! I tend to eat very little salt, but only because I don't like it very much. Will probably look into this in more detail.

Very cool list. I'm starting a 1 book a week this year, and kicking it off with 1984 by Orwell. Will definitely take a look at this list when I choose the next one!
sergiopreira | 3 years ago | on: Are we on information overload? (2012)
Yes. Without a doubt. Newspapers were supposed to be curators of valuable content, but most went down the road of click-bait for advertising. I've also tried paid solutions, but most fail with the exception of the economist. Its the only one I pay for today....
sergiopreira | 3 years ago | on: 4 Days a Week are enough
We've been doing this for over 6 months at work, and whilst it seems to be ok, its still not 100% clear its working... I think you need to have many other things working well before implementing such a routine.

Not sure, but sounds like a great gimmick for dating apps.

This should be done at a federal level, and the US needs to be the global driving force behind it, ensuring all countries adopt and adhere the same principles. We need the equivalent of the International Atomic Energy Agency to manage this going forward.
Could this be even more dangerous than a nuclear bomb?
