this is over my head
LeonigMig··on Decomposing language models into understandable components
I suppose we should be cautious, the human mind is capable of overfitting too
LeonigMig··on Decomposing language models into understandable components
Do you mean in the sense it’s hierarchical? Or am I missing the point entirely
LeonigMig··on Two types of software engineers
more like two different ways of approaching a problem which crop up quite often designing socio-technical systems

it does puzzle me how programmer culture is to over generalise as if its some epiphany or fundamental principle

in fact this blog just diagnoses two common viewpoints or perspectives

perhaps its just a style thing to get engagement with a blog

LeonigMig··on How to use ChatGPT to boost your developer productivity
I'm a coder with 30 years of experience and I'm also excited about the potential of ChatGPT to help with my work. However, it's very important to remember to double-check the code it generates for accuracy.

Especially for anything that is not boilerplate or tutorial level, I've seen a lot of mechanically incorrect and unhelpful code generated.

LeonigMig··on A Guide to Threat Modelling for Developers
The sections on attack vectors, modes of detection and response, etc were published today

It was published in instalments, which is a bit confusing

There's a bit about interfacing with infrastructure teams in one of the later instalments also

LeonigMig··on Threat Modelling for Developers
I've been following this, as Martin Fowler released it in instalments over the past few weeks. The final part came out today.

While specialists who are experienced in TM may not get a great deal from it, it should be useful for developers new to it.

sublime
LeonigMig··on Dear Agile, I’m Tired of Pretending (2018)
Great rhetorically, not sure how comprehensible the logic was.
LeonigMig··on Cognitive Ability and Vulnerability to Fake News
Reminds of Plato's thought that Socrates was like a doctor being judged by a jury of children. His conclusion was to turn against democracy to a vision of a polity ruled by enlightened 'philosopher kings'. So what are the implications for democracy in the Internet age?
LeonigMig··on Why Are Some Countries Rich and Others Poor?
No mention of colonialism or imperialism here. Not the whole answer, but part.
LeonigMig··on Dismaland – Bemusement Park
By the way there is a whole tent full of Hurst's work at Dismaland.

Perhaps see it for yourself, if you can.

LeonigMig··on Dismaland – Bemusement Park
I went yesterday.. here's my Tweet review:

Recommend, especially for the Gallery.

My favourite part was most people there were "normal" people and absolutely loved it. I've been to i.e. Damian Hurst / White Cube / Rothko etc. etc. London poseurs everywhere.

Art that connects.

LeonigMig··on Gov.uk quietly disrupts the problem of online identity login
"the system does not retain (identifying) pieces of information, and the (identity) checking companies do not know what service is being used."
LeonigMig··on Bubbles vs Growth
Infomation technology means that cost are falling, old business models are getting over turned and innovation is happening in established and new markets.

Bubbles can occur in equity markets independently of this.

Due to easy credit over the past 20 years a lot of debt has built up which is retarding real growth now via the financial crisis.

In summary money introduces a layer of indirection into the system which can mean that growth is slow even when technological conditions promote in some sectors.
