The question is, what is the actual paradigm that's being shifted here? Employing people? It's definitely not wanting to talk to people, and even employment is a bit of a practical joke for now. Comparing with Internet or electric

Until users find out it's less useful to the user because of that. Or it causes some tragedies...

Actually they still are making that. And now advanced expensive stuff nowadays too. After all, it's easier to further an already existing advantage.

But it appears their secret sauce is not dual pricing, but horizontal and vertical integration in manufacturing, combined with low labor costs. Same thing the USA companies did earlier. Now that is an actual comparative advantage that is ac

Don't worry, economists surely have their calculation of the day. Previously it was ordinary differential equations. Now attempting to solve these is intractable for such a big and complex system so far, and worse if you misrepresented

Only way to achieve that is if people are afraid of these forces and perceive them as effective at policing. If they're not, nothing will happen.

You can use an LLM as an advanced search engine. The results may vary. Tends to sometimes return hallucinated garbage wasting your time especially for harder queries. Which are the ones you would want answers to... Everything else is memo

These days, even the search will give you AI answers, either directly, via a slop site wasting your time or even on stack overflow...

> Productivity was tracked through metrics such as completed tasks (pull requests), code commits, and successful builds. Making untested garbage faster to check off tasks quicker. Reopen rate please? New bug task rate? Nobody looked..

Unless the tool is trash and breaks, or otherwise unfit for the purpose. You can hammer in nails with your knuckles. Do you want to do that daily? There are people who can, they're still worse at it than a plain hammer or someone even

Oh, let's check how good you are at spotting security issues... Or plain old bugs. "It's easy to decide if a solution is correct or not." Yeah right. So you have metrics for it?

When you're not rubber stamping things, you will get called out on reducing velocity or perfectionism.. Plus the time you're reviewing is the time you're not coding, so of course you get dinged on your own velocity further. U

Much like removing gotos automatically makes your code 1% better. And then someone invented exceptions for the same reason we needed these. More semantics, people still cannot use them. The semantics being opaque and the thing doing much mo

The funniest part is that you can't get better than the input you put in. Only when the thing can generalize from a few top notch examples would this problem be solved. Throwing in a ton of garbage into an automated remixer will produc

It's written with constant memory allocation in mind. Silly of them to use such a small buffer though, make it a configuration option.

Not really for a small motor cooled by the frame. The bikes are IR reflective too.

So you trust that the client or the centralized service actually does what it says without inspection? Then you also trust there's no lawful interception on those services anyway?

Adding fake devices doesn't do anything since the homeserver doesn't have your key. It literally can't do that. If you're sending encrypted to untrusted on a public room, you're trusting the homeserver. It's li

These protocols exist, e.g. on top of I2P network. Thing is, nobody has any incentive to back them.

Nah, if you run your own identity service, you're supposed to be able to issue any number of unverified identities yourself. The problem there is that others do not play at all with these, plus actual trust has to be somehow solved. Ty

It seems easy, but actually managing files as a database safely is actually very hard. Especially ensuring atomicity. Portability is a problem as well. You do not need an SQL database however, there are others available.

To the OP, when GitHub fails or internet connectivity is down, you're going to be thankful for the local copy that you can later synchronize. This is what every shared online document platform has problems with. RCSes have the least.

Ambiguous pronoun/declination is not the same as neutral. We have the same problem in Polish. People will assume the male gender even if it's technically correct.

Yes, allowing code execution by untrustworthy agents, especially networked ones, is fraught with danger. Phishing an AI is kind of similar to phishing a smart-ish person... So remind me again, why does an email scanner need code execution a

It might even be legible, just encoded in such a way that the monitor would only flag it as unrecognized nonsense of a hallucination and be unable to detect purposeful reasoning inside it.

They actually tested the human specialists in case you didn't notice that bar in the data. They are not perfect either, but are statistically better. (ANOVA)

In personal experience, the much stronger and composite type model in Rust makes it easier to refactor. Adding features in particular is a breeze and automatically the compiler/language will track for you the places that use only old s
