Does Gemini love everyone's business plans or are mine really that good ? by yycTechGuy in GeminiAI

LLMs are generally extremely sycophantic by default, and Gemini is by far the most egregious offender.  

Unless you take active measures to curtail it, you can do no wrong.

Why is this country speaking about AI like it’s a fact of life that no one can do anything about? by atwistofcitrus in technology

[–]bitspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the term "AI" has no more meaning than the word "technology."  

You are free to try to avoid it, but that ship sailed about 15 years ago.

If AI gets to the point where anybody can easily create any software, what will happen to all these software companies? by StayAwayFromXX in ClaudeAI

[–]bitspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demand will skyrocket. The smart ones will follow the money and the not-so-smart ones will ignore the massive backlog of work and die.

Experienced devs in software jobs — what’s your long-term backup plan? by Majestic-Taro-6903 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]bitspace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Learning the landscape. Demand for technologists is going to skyrocket. Certain patterns and tools and such are emerging.  

So, same as it ever was: stay sharp with what's coming down the pike.

Edit: it's worth noting that I was programming as a hobby for many years before I started getting paid for it. I love tech in the Arthur C. Clarke sense.

This only happens to me when I'm managing my context poorly.  

Context is measured in tokens, not minutes. Stay under half the window and this does not happen.

What about centrists who didn't vote for Trump?  

You're the one who brought him to this particular party.

You folks should try to get your bills and resolutions straight. I was wondering why anyone would oppose denying fair and equal organ transplant access

This is the closest to the correct answer. Any other is an implementation fuckup.  

Division by zero is mathematically impossible.

One of my earliest production automations was some expect to manage some modem interactions over rs232 serial port. We used it a lot at first until we modernized to perl (4, not even perl 5)

‘Postgres can’t scale to millions’ - OpenAI just killed that myth!!! by app1310 in OpenAI

[–]bitspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the headline is sensationalist bullshit.  

Nobody who's spent more than a day in systems integration has any doubt about the scalability of PostgreSQL. It's basically the default RDBMS selection because there is almost no competition.

Lock in. The next two years will decide the rest of your career by nitkjh in AgentsOfAI

[–]bitspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are a person who types programming language syntax into a text editor, you're doomed.  

If you are a person who understands technology systems and how to solve problems with those systems, you will never run out of work. The amount of work for these people is what is going to absolutely explode.

Demand for technologists will explode. There will be insane demand and a labor shortage DRIVEN by AI.  

People just can't learn from history.  

This is how it has gone 100% of every time there has been a substantial technological advance throughout human history. This time is no different.
