I think you touch on a language feature I think is very important: compile time errors over runtime ones. I'm biased, I preferred it this way before AI. But even so I think there is real merit. Firm guardrails and clear feedback seem t

I've done Stockholm-Oslo without stopping to charge in December in my model y long range. Didn't really do anything special either, just obeyed the speed limits pretty much. Most of the drive was on autopilot(not fsd) because high

Tesla model S accelerates faster and has a higher top speed, and also more range on a smaller battery.... For a absolutely tiny fraction of the price! It also looks better than this Nissan leaf knock-off! I'm not the target market, thi

I do think the Luce looks a little bit better in that comparison, but I think that is also at least partially due to the photographer being way better. The black parts at the bottom of the Ferrari like like a shadow in that photo, whereas o

I've done Stockholm - Oslo on a single charge in early winter, which is almost exactly that distance, so I'd say it does! Even kept me nice and toasty along the way!

Not remotely true in my estimation. I don't really speak Norwegian, but I do speak Swedish(which means I mostly understand Norwegian as they're very similar). Every model I've tried speaking Swedish to does it perfectly. I&#x

You've hit the nail on the head as we say where I'm from. This is also why I think the "boycott AI" movement is misguided. AI doesn't produce slop: unskilled AI operators do. Heck just the other day I saw a headline

Oh yeah, definitely. There has indeed been a lot of hype overestimating the capabilities. People thinking you can one-shot big complex applications with a few paragraphs of descriptions for example. There has also been a lot of anti-hype, o

As someone with a background of consulting in the Stockholm based gaming industry for the last decade+, I have to respectfully disagree. Nearly everyone I know is very much on the hype train. And for good reason too! The capabilities are un

Yup! I'm very much included in this particular problem! My self awareness has not yet been sufficient to solve the problem, but I've heard that knowing you have a problem is half the battle, so I guess that's something at lea

I think you've accurately identified one of the most important skills of a software engineer in these new AI enabled times. Or at least one of the most important skills that wasn't important previously for this profession. The par

So what I do when I'm not sure about something, is I say "I want to achieve X, I was thinking I could solve it by doing Y, what are the pros and cons of this approach, and what is a alternative solution you would suggest?" An

Re: "the attaboy problem". I strongly disagree that this is a problem. What we have is a anthropomorphism problem. AI is a tool. It needs to be subservient. You actually can get it to point out issues in your design, if you just

Oh man that brings back memories! "Hello, I'm calling from Blockchain, I would like to talk about your investment portfolio" it weirded me out they would pretend to be from the underlying technology instead of an exchange or

In my experience, it's never the engineers nor the designers who makes those decisions. Stuff like that always comes from higher up the ladder, some middle management figure who thinks he is smarter than he is, mandates such abominatio

The IP field in particular: no. It was a top of my head solution to a situation that's pretty much fucked. The scenario where an attacker gets control of a client machine is very hard to defend against, regardless of Auth scheme. But

It's not 30 minutes of unauthorised access, it's 30 a minute window where you have some extra attack surface. It's safe enough because exploiting that small attack surface within the timelimit is sufficiently hard that it can

Add a client IP field to the JWT. Token is only valid if the request comes from the associated IP. Done.

Skill issue. I personally implemented the Minecraft Auth flow with JWT, and it handles ~250k req/s. It has the added benefit that already logged in users are unaffected if the Auth service goes down(Minecraft is a popular target for sc

None of those things sounds like stuff the government would have a hand in, unless you live in some communist country where the taxis are state-owned?

The research that's presented in another article on the same site is way more interesting than the betteridges law article linked here. It'll be very useful in my own latest project if this research is incorporated into some model

Oh hey, you're right! Somehow I read "water landing" and interpreted it as landing on one of the barges (ocisly or jrti) any clue why that isn't the case? Is super heavy just too big for the barges maybe?
