Considering the original title is just the name of the railway, and I do not think “within budget” is editorializing, I think the commenter is being overly pedantic
I opened the article expecting to see news about the budget and how they stayed within it, since that SEEMS like the biggest surprising news in a project like this. How is that overly pedantic?
I understand your expectation. That said, I think it's ok to add detail in commentary when the article doesn't mention it explicitly. So continuing to go upon the point that the article didn't mention the budget makes you seem as pedantic.
Claude has been aggressively advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, and the ads have been much more general use than just the code benefits. They’re definitely no ChatGPT, but they’re not an unknown player.
You're only seeing those ads because the ad algorithm knows you. My family aren't getting Claude ads. They wouldn't know the first thing about it even if it were explained to them.
Such a kind British museum offering to maintain these artifacts to the point of denying return to the origin countries when requested. Clearly this is for the preservation of our past and the benefit of humanity.
Absent any proof that the objects were truly stolen, I don't feel any need to return something to someone in some country who suddenly finds an interest in getting something back. What does ownership mean to you?
Let's say you come to my country and buy a souvenir. Can I decide, hundreds of years later, that you must be forced to give it back?
And why do borders matter? The argument seems to be that housing an object on one side of an arbitrary political line is morally superior to putting it on display on the other side of some invisible line. Somehow someone born to the right parents is a morally superior curator compared to someone born into the wrong parents.
I used the phrase recently when my coworker asked me what metrics I use to guide my code decisions, and he gave me the options of sonarqube issues, test coverage (which I found to be configured to exclude huge feature directories of this legacy app), or efficiency metrics. All this after 6 major prod bugs were introduced over 6 months.
My response was that I code by vibe, and really I meant that I was improving the nightmare of working in our backend code while trying to learn the business logic, restructuring our backend code structure, hardening our unit tests, and adding swagger documentation. While doing so, I uncovered tons of bugs.
All in all, “vibe coding” to me is similar to “smelly code”, where the intuition depends on the implementor, but with the latter, “bad” coders can be silent and aren’t forced to make change smells. Good coders, however, prove their intuition skills when identifying and fixing code smells, even though today we have automated tools to tell us why our code smells feel or look bad
“Inferior” is a bit silly in a comparison to this, considering this entire hobby is about small quirks and incremental changes. They seem to have similar offerings except for the big difference that this one has a pump. If you don’t care about a pump, a robot will do fine for the rest of your life. I’m personally bored of lever pulling multiple shots, but my counter space is limited, and I’m interested in purchasing, after seeing a review.
This has been a huge frustration with AI investments as I’m invest in industry and “AI ETFs” just invest in anything with AI on the website. Investors have absolutely no idea how AI works or what it will disrupt, and I genuinely think 99% of all investor sentiment towards AI is non-sense
The company I work for try to add AI/LLM on everything, instead of trying to improve/fix the underlying problem, they now just add the magic AI and everything is “perfect” now.
As an ML engineer and AI developer, I don’t see the real value at all, not to mention the added cost of using LLM
Going down the tangent of people working in the industry...
I unwittingly fell into low-level coding for DL software stacks about 7 years ago.
At first I was merely uninterested in the topic, compared to my teammates.
Now I think there's a serious possibility that LLMs and other new DL capabilities will be a net negative for society. I'm actively trying to get other work.
I know that if I don't do the work others gladly will, but the status quo seers my conscience.
