>there goes 50-70% of the jobs in that sector. Does this always follow though? Mass automation can just as easily make the existing staff far more effective, making the ROI easier to justify.

If that architecture has no value in any circumstances at the beginning of a project and no value once the code base has matured, it’s an anti pattern.

What an incredibly impolite way to respond to someone who is trying to tease out the point you continually failed to make. Be better.

Friend, I read the comment that you’re replying to that if hostile governments wanted to backdoor our software supply-chains, it wouldn’t cost that much to corrupt an open source maintainer. Whereas, if it was the norm for well used OS proj

I’ve previously worked heavily in digital identity and continue to talk from time to time on it - I honestly can’t see any value to this. It’s worse in some dimensions than existing systems (certificates can at least be validated offline) a

While being slightly more generous than my sibling comment: If you’ve got a peer-to-peer network of information nodes, where each person is able to assert information about themselves in their node, but the whole trust is based on the polyk

Not the person you’re replying too, but: Foundational models (GPT-4, Llama 3 etc) effectively compress “some” human knowledge into its neural network weights so that it can generate outputs from inputs. However, obviously it can’t compress

The DoD also doesn’t employ 12 year olds that would giggle at that, so needn’t worry.

A remarkable comment in that it is clear, confident and wrong. Fine-tunes lead to catastrophic forgetting. RAG is only irrelevant if you’re completely disinterested in cost and latency. We also don’t have enough data to gauge performance of

Not the commenter you’re replying to, but you maybe be mixing figures. I read $100m and $1B as enterprise value, not ARR. While the long term ARR multiple to EV is ~5.5x for SaaS, I could see niches where that approaches 10x. So 5 customers

You’re now arguing in bad faith - your original claim was the world generally accepts that Israel commits war crimes and institutes apartheid. You’ve just posted a bunch of links that reference criticisms of Israel, most of which mention ne

I didn't downvote you but I can see why you were - your Wikipedia article doesn't support your argument - the strongest point it makes is that the UN HRC has an enquiry into Israel's actions. There's several references t

As a sibling commenter mentioned - if a HSM dumps its memory where it contains private key material, that’s a spectacularly bad HSM, which MS wouldn’t have been able to fix the race condition of. Reading that MS were able to fix the crashin
