Indeed. A commenter up there said this is a "low-risk" application. Tech folks don't seem to understand that there are less tech-literate people out there taking these answers at face value, and being worse off for not knowin

Okay fair point, you need a good ORM!

by BarryMilo 3y ago
I'm not sure if ORM is a great example, as they tend to work for the vast majority of use cases. If you're not using an ORM, you're either working on something where performance is critical, or you're making a mess.

This is indeed well-known, in recent years I've seen it referred to as Gell-Mann Amnesia: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

It didn't happen because it's impossible. Just like you can't make drawing a licensed field; people don't need your permission to draw or code.

At what level of ridiculousness do you stop debating? It could turn out that they were blackmailed into making that choice, or maybe it was the best-looking color palette on their old Nokia. At some point you have to be able to recognize th

It's not far off at all, some people sold AI-generated books on Amazon (they banned them in theory). Good and/or factual books however... Who knows.

Regarding your first point, the flaws are almost always in the implementation, not the design, though specs inevitably leave too much to the implementation. Regarding your second point, security works in layers. Much like it's better t

When you think about it, this is why using AI-generated text is no better than using a dictionary. I want to learn from someone who actually thought about the text and whether it makes sense in context, not just whether it's free from

Internet comments are always so polarized... Some people liked remote learning, some didn't. I know some college profs who were glad to stay home in -20C weather. Others hated it even then. It's true that remote teaching didn&#x27

That's a very naive view of the free market. What has been happening is Amazon consolidated the market, creating artificial barriers to entry as they do so (e.g. any and all exclusivity deals). This was always their plan, and they oper

You're implying that what is being produced has actual value, the problem is they're acting in patently bad faith. Weep not for the spammers.

Legalized yes, legitimized, certainly not. This is not a copyright issue, this is a loyalty issue: Betraying the people who helped you get where you are is the kind of move a company makes when they no longer care to be perceived as ethical

The uproar is that people and coompanies contributed to the project without compensation, and are just now being told Hashicorp has altered the deal... unilaterally. I for one would not have built my infra on non-free software, and I will

To be clear, there are many types of meditation, each with its own goal (or none at all). Some of them are "merely" relaxation exercises, but that is also something that is very much needed in today's world.

We could get into a semantic argument about what "lots" means. But open source is very much a corporate thing now, and lots of dev companies do indeed have an agile-inspired workflow at least. Re: that fun thing, yes, but most pro

Agile is better than nothing, which is what most teams would/did have as an alternative.

Well, before they were machines, they were jobs. We can no more imagine what AI will bring than people from the 1800s could imagine the changes computers woould bring. That is to say: everything changed.

Awesome! As long as no one I know has to run an instance, looks like a great time to jump ship.

It's strange because that's a normal publisher's take home, from which you also subtract a given amount for printing. But the author's take is usually around 10%, which should add up to 40%.

I don't personally equate "generic" with "trash". Many marketing firms produce generic content that's "good enough". But that's rarely seen as a good thing. I'm less interested in content fa

This has been foreseen. I may be negatively biased, but if what you're saying is generic enough that an AI can write it, is it worth saying? I think this was always a fundamental question, but AI will make it much more explicit. I exp
