This begs the question, is chat an indicator of ability? I would suggest not as how you converse with a coding agent changes as you learn. This is new to most of us - we're still trying to get a grip on it while it changes daily.

Also, if you had a rubric, you could just make it a training document after hiring the engineer using normal methods. Problem solved.

I like the idea, but performance is not described. What are the FP8 TOPS? When you pay for a monthly subscription, not only do you performance higher than a local model, but also performance increases as they become available. With this unit (the CPU/RAM specification is also absent) the hardware you get is the hardware you will always have. If you are going to compare the price of your product directly to the price of a subscription, you are obligated to describe the differences because it is not an apples-to-apples comparison. You're going to want to include some sort of multi-agent ecosystem because using it for just "chat" or "RAG" is so 2025 ...

Have you given any thought to using symbolic regression? Copilot suggested looking for: 1. Leptonic CP‑violating phase δPMNS 2. θ₂₃ octant (PMNS) 3. Neutrino mass ordering (NO/IO) I admit I am not qualified even to understand what my post means let alone find the answer, but it sounded pretty convincing.

TL;DR The article (from Sept 2019) applies the 80/20 rule three times in succession to illustrate that 50% (0.8^3) of consequences come from 1% (0.2^3) of causes. Thus, "I encourage all business owners to ... block three to four hours out of their day ... to work on the A-level tasks and projects that really matter. Avoid distractions"

Not unfamiliar advice with a simple principle: identify and focus on your priorities. That is the heart of the matter, and is why this advice works. David Allen in "Getting Things Done", and other well-known authors and speakers have similar techniques.

Which is to say that it is very likely for someone either to have experienced or to have seen this.

The author of the article, James Thompson, has "more than a decade of science journalism experience" yet fails to provide sources for his articles, something a high-school student would understand. Another "AI-Generated" article on the "Alabama Gazette" names the planet "Nomad-X." The lack of information leads me to believe it is entirely an AI hallucination and a completely fake story.

"Gödel’s incompleteness theorems apply not only to AI, but to any ethical reasoning framed within a formal system." - no mathematician ever

“On the Moon, your clock is going to tick faster because the celestial body is substantially less heavy than the Earth.”

There is no way a physicist of Patla's stature would say "less heavy" instead of "less massive."

"Where's the other $100K?"

As mentioned in the article, there were two accounts: a 401k and a Roth. The $14k was for one, the rest was the other.

"It also strikes me as so weird that they expected Mr. Handy to essentially be the middleman to receive checks he couldn't cash."

As mentioned in the article, that is standard practice, and has been for a very long time.

"There are a lot of things in your article that don't add up."

You didn't read the article closely enough.

DDD is just the beginning. A successful architecture for AI app generation will apply DDD using data-context-iteraction (DCI) in conjunction with Data-Oriented Programming as described by Yehonathan Sharvit: https://blog.klipse.tech/dop/2022/06/22/principles-of-dop.ht... Note that the "DOP" espoused by Brian Goetz and others complicates AI app generation. It stipulates strong typing, that when combined with "making illegal states unrepresentable" (a concept borrowed from functional programming), makes change -- which is inevitable -- more difficult.

"A 20% continuity discount applies starting from the second year of uninterrupted subscription. After the second year, it increases to 40%, which you keep for as long as you continue to renew your subscription on time."

I get the "all products" pack for $173. I mostly use Java/C++, but I love being able to dabble in other languages in a familiar environment.

Woz: it’s a process that should be done “more surgically, with a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer.”

Precisely. The fact they are not using a "scalpel" means they do not want surgical results. If you want the entire system to crumble you use a sledgehammer, wrecking ball, etc., on the most fragile parts.

That's what they want: to break the entire thing. I don't know why that is such a difficult conclusion for people to understand.
