In the end, it all boils down to this: 1. It is trivial to have a metric about how many requests were made for a link on a site, say a/ 2. It is legally very much non-trivial to have a metric about how many requests were made to a&#x2F

As it turns out, correctness very often simply doesn't matter. Or not as much as one would intuitively think. How many shops are there optimizing "business strategies" with data that's -essentially- garbage?

That's obviously wrong. If one resource gets scarce but retains its use, it will get more expensive compared to other resources that remain plentiful. All commodities together feed into inflation. So either some will become less expens

Makefiles have an even more interesting issue: They lost their main purpose. In many, many projects that I've seen, they only consist of phony targets. No dependency tracking is used whatsoever. How many Makefiles are there that just W

You're probably using the wrong tool and should consider a simple plain shell script (or a handful of them) for your tasks. test.sh, build.sh, etc.

Essentially, an LLM is a compressed database with a universal translator. So what we can get out of it is everything that has been written (and publicly released) before translated to any language it knows about. This has some consequences.

Nice work. I didn't yet read it fully, but I love the idea. Looks to be a valuable thesis.

Hah! Try to separate your domain logic from your interfaces (e.g., using something like hexagonal architecture) and then say this again. Yes, it's a lot of work coming up with good properties, but it massively helps to find gaps in t

It's Bond. A certain resemblance is necessary. It doesn't suffice to add a few Martinis here, a PPK there, and end with a showdown against a super villain involving tech gadgets. The movie also needs sexism and humor, at least. Se

When authors ignore established facts of the universe they're writing for (vulgo "the canon"), they're most likely either lazy or ignorant or arrogant. I read quotes about Star Wars lacking "strong female figures&qu

Is that a prediction in the form of "There's a 30% chance of light rain that day." or "Temperature will reach 22,5°C at 14:00."?

I think your model is absolutely right. But there's a catch: Zero Trust (TM) is about not giving any machine any particular kind of access. So it's an infinite amount of machines with zero access. The point of Zero Trust (TM) is t

Well written! I wonder if there's a way to efficiently implement it without resorting to monomorphization? A function that's polymorphic can be transformed into a more primitive (say C or assembly) function that gets extra argumen

What even is the speed of causality? Is there any way to determine that causality has made it halfway from cause to effect? Or is this just a metaphysical way of saying that no particle can move faster than the speed of light, assuming th

I would make it embeddable. The goal would be to become the Lua of web engines. As it turns out, having an embeddable web engine would be a massive market position right now.

I really don't see what the problem with the runtime metadata is? In the example, the size of T is also an argument? So why not pass a pointer to the whole set of type information there?

Daily check-ins can be necessary under certain circumstances. (Think all-hands-on-deck quickly evolving situations with a tight deadline and several unknowns. Like a big feature launch.) Sometimes you might even need them twice a day. You c

The analysis contains an error. Binary artifacts don't cause exponential growth in storage requirements. It's still just linear. That's also quite clearly seen when after a phase of exponential growth, the binary artifacts

Maybe I am missing something here, but why would you run "AI" on that task when you go from formal language to formal language? I don't get the usage of "regex/heuristics" either. Why can that task not be compl

I'm running Linux for decades now without problems. Gaming was Windows' last bastion, but SteamOS is looking more and more attractive. So maybe I can get rid of that crapware personally.
