What do you prefer?

You cannot be agile if your client insists that you work in a waterfall. If they demand estimates (which they see as commitments) and then set a time/money budget based on those estimates, that's waterfall. That works against them, of course. If the time/budget is fixed, then scope must change. If they won't permit that, you are being set up for failure and are wasting you client's money to boot. Are you willing to eat the cost overruns or the costs of the changes that will be required as the project develops (or deal with a very unhappy client if you're unwilling to do that)? IMO, we all have an ethical obligation to to explain that up front, before accepting a job.

Ballz to the Walz dudes! The democrats have chosen the socialist governor who let Minneapolis burn, and the socialist candidate who helped bail out the rioters. Bold move guys! Bold move!

MCTS appears to be huge for LLMs, but why don't we try something like, idk, eXtreme Gradient Boosted Tree Search?

A surprising observation, that is echoed by lots of software engineers. The uptick seems to be prominent for more experienced folks who are attractive for startups and scaleups to source for their newly opened positions.

Unusual in June and July to see a spike!

Woo hoo! The future is AI + human collaboration.

PayMan’s marketplace and payment rails for AI to hire humans is an important part of this future ecosystem.

If you’re building AI agents, make sure “hiring a human” is one of their skills

I came to further revelation tonight, meditating on The Word.

The first miracle being that of turning water to wine is a symbolic marker of the shift from the post-flood covenant (water), to now the lambs-blood covenant (wine).

[This is also reflected in John the Baptist coming before Christ]

So…Google has explained, to Congress, why searches involving Trump have been suppressed lately.

It was … a bug.

Because, you know, software has bugs, right? I mean — you can’t expect software to not have bugs, that’s unreasonable. Bugs are just a normal characteristic of all software, right? So don’t worry, we’ll fix it in the next release.

So now we understand that there are people who put a high value on bugs. Those people are… lawyers. Every time that we, programmers, tell the world that bugs are inevitable, the lawyers who defend corrupt practices smile.

Two reasons I subscribe to a VPN service where I can choose the country it connects from:

1. When traveling, I don't want to access the localized sites that I automatically get based on location

2. Have no other way to watch some region-locked content - no option of even paying

It’s amazing they literally stopped a market crash by simply crashing their platforms long enough for everyone to relax

They probably had some massive injection pumping the S&P while they were down

(I’d be curious to know if stocks outside those 500 also recovered the same way or if it’s artificial)
