I stand by my statement. We have passed the point where burning fossil fuels more efficiently helps. If you think that is wild, you should see the wild_fires_ going on. Going to 100 mpg is still strictly worse than a battery powered by rene

You are not comparing complexity to an ICE though. You are comparing to a BEV. A plug-in hybrid is a much more complex machine than a BEV.

by FabCH 2mo ago
Non-plugin hybrids are pointless in the context of the paper from the OP, since they don’t help with climate change.

It’s mechanical maintenance beyond the skill level of 99 out of a 100 car owners.

I mean, you also need to top up the wiper fluid and clean the floor, but that and tire change is not even maintenance, it’s just part of „use“, no? I didn’t feel the need to mention something that everyone should be easily doing at home for

Hybrids are the worst of both worlds when it comes to maintenance. They have their benefits and are key to fighting climate change, but mechanically you inherit all the problems from both sides. There is no way you are driving a 25 year old

As a data point: I’m at year 8 of Model X 100kWh with basically 0% capacity loss. If it exists at all, it’s less than 1-2%, so less than what I can reasonably measure with just the odometer and battery indicator. Nissan Leaf gave BEV a bad

IIRC Sanjay was literally never a manager and Jeff was not a manager until like a decade after MapReduce was built. And of course they didn’t build it alone, that’s the point of companies and teams.

Jeff Dean invented MapReduce and Bigtable. Say what you want about their later years, but Dean and Ghemawat deserve their title of engineer.

by FabCH 2mo ago
FYI - There literally are guilds in some countries regulating who can use the title engineer. Although they prefer „chambers“ as a name these days.

In most ethical systems existing today: „no, but“ Only if you view it as appropriate measured self-defense against future attacks, which is a viewpoint some people subscribe too.

The post content is great. I personally hate the way Cloudfare has been the „default answer“ for the bot problem because Cloudfare has become the most successful MITM attack in history. We need content like this to keep the internet alive.

If a project uses AI assistance, it’s pretty much guaranteed that eventually 50% of the code in the project will in one way or the other be touched by AI assistance. And Torvalds does seem to plan on continue using AI assistance. It‘s becau

Unless they are hypocrites, they should. Otherwise the whole moralizing first part of their blog post is meaningless. And I am asking you because we are on an Internet forum and you responded to my comment.

And how do open models fit into that narrative? Say I am running Kimi K3 locally and commit security patches to Git. What now? Should Codeberg fork Git pre-2020 and keep the vulnerabilities?

by FabCH 3mo ago
Well we don’t know, do we? Because the ToS helpfully doesn’t explain. Does LLM autocomplete break the ToS? What about pre-LLM autocomplete? What about code written by LLM but reviewed by humans? Also, the spirit of the community is clear, g

Do they? A luddite response is not necessarily participating in society. It could be argued Codeberg group made a choice to opt out of participating.

by FabCH 3mo ago
The problem with this logic is that Codeberg itself is built on top of other FOSS. What will happen when Git accepts its first vibe-coded patch. Linus is famously ok with AI assisted coding, so eventually Linux can or will also cross the th

by FabCH 3mo ago
The Linux repo clearly would be considered vibe-coded by Codeberg policy and it being banned is the policy working as intended. It is probably a good example of why do many people think that the policy is ultimately counter productive even

by FabCH 3mo ago
They banned all LLM assisted projects. It’s not a fallacy if it actually happened.

No because lawyer is a protected profession with regulated rates. Unless your friend happens to actually be a legally licensed lawyer.

Regulated legal insurance market coupled with „looser pays all the costs“ system. The insurance doesn’t mind fighting for you because they will get paid by the company making the frivolous suit. You don’t pay much, 10$/month. Although

Not the OP, but: The point was not that their opinion is suspect, the point was that they are former because people who care about the customer get fired and/or that everyone who cared is former, so nobody who is left cares.

Because people who need help from the police and have to hide their tracks might not be completely technically literate. Or indeed fully literate at all. This page serves the 0.01% most vulnerable.

Yeah but they don’t want your money. They want the botnet users money. You got a genuinely free, to you, app.

Well, yeah. Which is where energy efficiency of FPGA and ASIC comes into play.

ICANN is a nonprofit in California. It doesn’t really have any power on its own. It only exists because everyone from browser developers to server operators to consumers agrees we need a central place to organize stuff. If the US justice sy
