@elonmusk Can't believe that it doesn't show up. By your thesis, for example the finances of traditional IT services companies all over the world could tank in a quarter - maybe it's already but hidden in reports

Looks like the IT services companies who do ADM for smaller businesses will be impacted first compared to mid/large ones

@venkat_s Not sure what is the context for this tweet - is it the use of LLMs in software development ? My oberservation is that senior people are more relectant to adopt& adapt than junior ones

@DevBredda @KevinNaughtonJr Then you should share your calendar - just image what those shades of green can denote in a calendar entry !!

Software bugs in checkouts result in lost revenue. This happened today to @digibank, I booked an FD with a competitor since app was saying nominee details incomplete even when I have entered the full details - better fix it or more more revenue !!

Every 12-15 mos, linkedIn blog: "... reduce attrition by putting employees, particularly top performers, in new roles every 24-36 months (depending on their role and level). Employee growth, through learning and career development, drives engagement and increases retention."

@anandmahindra I also agree with you, don't use technology in situations where it doesn't belong !! Ok with mixers & wet grinders :)

There is nothing called "blackbox testing" in software, example for a webapp, tester need to know at least how the app state changes & actions (dynamics) when it is interacted with. Everything in life is grey, somewhere between black-and-white #swtesting

In this world of multitasking, @TeamYouTube should consider support for switching to other apps without pausing the audio, including links in video description

#Ashes2023 #SteveSmith #LBW OUT! With his big shuffle in front of wickets this is bound to happen, why did Indians allowed him to score against them recently. He has to go back to coaching school & fix his technique !!

It beat the best human version for five items, cutting the number of instructions down from 46 to 42.

AlphaDev's betters assembly code for 3-5 items, based on reinforcement-learning model that DeepMind trained to master games such as Go and chess.

[Appan Ponnappan @appanp]

AlphaDev found a way to sort a list of three items in 17 instructions instead of 18. AlphaDev could not beat the best human version of the algorithm for sorting a list of four items, which takes 28 instructions.
