S3 does more than 3x replica durability, as well, they use a form of erasure coding. They can lose several hard drives/servers/racks before your data becomes at risk, and have sufficient spare capacity to very quickly reproduce a

In the late 90s I was required to slowly replace dumb terminals with PCs. One of the older ladies taking phone orders was most put out by this, understandably. She was lightning fast on that terminal. She'd never used a PC (I hit on th

There's been a list for a couple of decades now, used to stop "Muslim terrorists" that has been repeatedly used to harass individuals with no ties to terrorism. It has repeatedly proven really easy to get onto that list, and

I'm not in the Apple ecosystem, but I have an Apple TV. It really "just works", has been the less annoying out of the various devices I've used over the years (Roku, Fire stick etc.) My only nit is the stupid easy to l

They should be, but with the speed and resources available on machines these days, people don't spend as much time optimising every little thing, and even make trade-offs, e.g. Gnome 3 desktop has the spidermonkey javascript engine in

No, he's still dealing with a flood of crap, even in the last few weeks, off more modern models. It's primarily from people just throwing source code at an LLM, asking it to find a vulnerability, and reporting it as-read, without

As someone who's never really read that much on compression stuff, I have absolutely zero clue what this visualisation is actually showing me. That's compounded by the lack of legend. What do the different shades of blue and purp

I've seen a few libraries that attempt to put strong unit types into languages, to use the type system to ensure correctness. In rust I'm familiar with https://docs.rs/uom/latest/uom/ and typescript

Gemini does the sycophantic thing too, so I'm not sure that holds water. I keep having to remind it to stop with the praise whenever my previous instruction slips out of context window.

I've been finding it leaps and bounds above other models but I'm only using it via aistudio. I haven't tried any IDE integration or similar, so can't talk to that. I do still have to tell it to stop it with the effus

It's pretty common. GNOME's terminal does, as does Kconsole for KDE, and so on. I've got Gnome terminal bumped up to 100,000 lines. There are definitely some that don't, or don't make it configurable, which for me

I most remember the performance issues with 4. That went from silky smooth to staggering along on my machine at the time. Same thing happened with Gnome, but to a much lesser degree.

Are you seriously asking why someone might want to do something guaranteed to behave exactly as they defined it, when they could have an LLM hallucinate code that touches the core of their system, instead? Why would anyone go with the inacc

What rug pull do you picture could happen at this stage? OpenJDK is the reference spec. Fully open source. Stewarded by multiple companies. Even if Oracle somehow managed to force the whole thing closed source (not sure that's even po

So what? They're not replacing standard tooling like static analysis with it. As they mention, it's being used as additional signal alongside static analysis. There are cases an LLM may be able to catch that their static analy

CXL is going to be really interesting. On the positive side, you can scale out memory quite a lot, fill up PCI slots, even have memory external to your chassis. Memory tiering has a lot of potential. On the negative side, you've got l

Using Java 8 doesn't mean using the java 8 JDK. It just means not using the newer features. I don't see anything in the parents post about restricting which JDK they use.

It's not unrealistically pessimistic. We're already seeing research showing the negative effects, as well as seeing routine psychosis stories. Think about the ways that LLMs interact. The constant barrage of positive responses &qu
