I know landing pages are fun and they feel like progress, but to be honest most of the time they are a time sink. Of all the landing pages I built I got maybe a handful of signups, while I could have achieved the same talking to people at a

For me the page briefly loads and then quickly gets replaced by 404 in large letters. Anyone else got that problem?

Strong encryption has properties that make "known plaintext" attacks impossible. You should not be able to tell the message from pure randomness. Breaking End-to-End-Encryption is not impossible but rather far fetched. If they rea

I think in that parallel universe developers would have switched to jobs akin to ghost busters. Hunting down bugs that have evolved from simple incorrect lines of code into living creatures with a mind of their own.

Thanks a lot! 1) I guess you mean the wordclouds? If so I get your point :) 2) Yes, I though about training my own model eventually once I got enough data 3) No, it's going to be free (and ad-free) for the foreseeable future. I built t

Tells a lot about where we are at in 2023, when closing a store-chain for a week after the busiest time of the year warrants a news article. Generally especially in tech people assume that output correlates 1:1 with the time spent, when in

While cool as a proof of concept and kudos for execution, this looks like a nightmare to maintain for any non-trivial webapp.

When will a regulatory entity step in and stop large corps to run services at a net loss. In essence, the whole tech industry relies heavily on venture capital supported bait&switch. Giving services away for free or selling under value

It's as much a scam as SEO used to be, or still is. Yes there are some techniques, that help you get better results, like providing examples and being precise. Especially local LLMs tend to have their own litte quirks, which you'l

I know TikTok is everyones favorite bogeyman, but short clips taken from movies have been on youtube for more than a century. Also as far as I'm concerened they should be considered fair use. At best they might convince someone to actu

50% of any large tech company are not engineers but people working support processes. Think lawyers, HR, controlling, compliance,... Now assume a third of the tech half is required to keep stuff running (sys admins, SRE, devops), one third

Question is, if this has always been the case or has become a new/increasing phenomena. I would call foul if insurances could just weasle their way out of anything that might affect their bottomline because they miscalculated risk. Wha
