If the New York Times wrote someone was allegedly an asshole, and Google Search condenses to presenting that as a fact, I’d bet you my left kidney that the general public would be quick to take that at face value.

That is a misrepresentation. You are obligated to actually put effort into securing your products, which is the only sensible stance to take.

Are you really that ignorant of the past? There are so many cases of people suffering from wrong accusations. They get death threats. People harass them on the street. Throw stones into their windows. Beat up their kids. Trash their car.

Luckily it doesn't work like this in the EU.

It's unbelievable how lightly some people hand over the tools for mass manipulation to a single corporation in the name of freedom of all things. We're not talking about a laser pointer here.

Still - a judge on another case will probably factor this one into their decision, but if they have a radically different view or the case is sufficiently different, they could just as well come to a different conclusion.

But normal people have entirely different problems than rich people do! The amount of administrative overhead that would warrant a personal assistant is just vastly lower - most normal people: - don't travel frequently, - don&#x

I have read it. The entire trust hinges on several critical points, such as trusting secure boot. You remember when the NSA injected itself in TLS termination at all major cloud providers? You remember when several giant automotive corporat

The vast majority of people never even asked for a personal assistant, because that isn’t something normal people have or do need in the first place. They aren’t so occupied/privileged/posh to need someone to do the trivial tasks

Not really. The only thing that comes close IMHO are the top shelf Lenovo X1 Carbon, but even those come with several caveats compared to MacBooks, and the M4/M5 chips are ridiculously powerful. I’m open for suggestions though

That is not the argument I'm making though, and I'm a bit sad that's the only thing you've got out of my comment. From your username and past conversations, I can tell you're not up for an open debate on the usefuln

That applies to an awful lot of cases though? Especially during Marx' time.

I am not refuting that. But the one thing it didn’t achieve was its main selling point - a reduction of labor in exchange for more leisure time. Likewise, AI will not lead to a future where the machines are working for us while we can enjoy

That's not what I have said. Imagine you have a mentally challenged brother you love dearly, who continues to run head-first against a wall. That's what it feels like. Doesn't mean I'm not aware and accepting of the real

Most of the interaction surface with a coding agent is the harness anyway, so I'd definitely classify them as tools. Moreover, I don't like the anthropomorphism of calling them beings —and even if I were to follow that narrative,

No, I'm absolutely aware that we are - as of now - unable to get past the pettiness of nationality and tribalism. Maybe it's so ingrained in us, we'll never get past that, I don't know. It's just massively frustrati

Every time I have actually engaged in conversations with people making the same claim you do, it turned out they did not really invest time into learning how to work with coding agents: They assumed, given that they’re developers, the know

As it was the case with all productivity catalysts in the past. The Industrial Revolution promised machines would work and we’d get to have leisure time. Instead, it brought 16 hour factory shifts. This will be no different

German here, I want the same. We are one species inhabiting a single habitable world in a giant dead void. Nationalism is an idiotic game of no value that causes destruction of resources we need, senseless killing in wars over nothing, and

Again: Redis is a database, not just a cache - it doesn’t care if you store ephemeral cache artifacts or customer records within it. Redis doesn’t pose any constraints on the type of data. Inversely, you can use Postgres as a semi or full

I don’t really care about the OS. I want a beefy laptop with a good keyboard and trackpad, long battery life, and a crisp screen. Preferably very silent, bonus points for a clean design. That’s the value proposition of a MacBook.

And I'd still question it. The experience of just… knowing how a good architecture looks like without being able to really put it in words is what makes a good engineer to me. These people can pick up relevant regulations or industry t

First up, if I wanted to talk to a machine, I would've asked one myself. Then, I don't understand your point really: Yes, the CAP theorem is a thing. There are compromise solutions available however to enable highly available da

At which scale would you recommend this over a Sentinel setup?

These two concerns are not mutually exclusive, the kind of database or data stored within it doesn't give any availability guarantees on its own. Even a single Postgres instance, which I suppose fits your understanding of a real datab

Why would you even want to use that dumpster fire of a model in the first place..?
