Reviewing someone else's large pull request is like having a second task in parallel with what you are working on yourself!

It's great to see even the most hardcore developers who are not fond of change being happy with the latest releases related to AI-assisted development.
My workflow now boils down to 2 tools really - leap.new to go from 0 to 1 because it also generates the backend code w/ infra + deployment and then I pick it up in Zed/Claude Code and continue working on it.
I'm curious: Do you scrutinize every line of code that's generated?

I read this point in the article with bafflement:
"Learn when a problem is best solved manually."
Sure, but how? This is like the vacuous advice for investors: buy low and sell high

As compute has outpaced memory bandwidth most recent stuff has moved away from ReLU. I think Llama 3.x uses SwiGLU. Still probably closer to ReLU than logistic sigmoid, but it's back to being something more smooth than ReLU.
Indeed, there have been so many new activation functions that I have stopped following the literature after I retired. I am glad to see that people are trying out new things.

I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention that one of the key factors that enabled deep learning was the use of RELU as the activation function in the early 2010s. RELU behaves a lot better than the logistic sigmoid that we used until then.

I worked summers in a lab in the 1980s that had Silicon Graphics, Apollo and Sun workstations. The Sun was the easiest to program by far so it got the most use.
