In a vacuum, sure it's a bad investment. A house as described in the article is basically one that you buy and neither live in nor rent out. An empty and unused house is indeed a bad investment. When people say a house is a good invest

Until AI can somehow exist in physical space, it is incapable of doing journalism, so you are cheering for the death of journalism with no replacement. That seems like a bad outcome.

They do respect robots.txt (supposedly), but they also introduced a new user agent that nobody would yet have in their robots.txt as part of this feature[1], and looking at my server logs it's already crawled a bunch of sites. [1] htt

The source code for Doom is GPL, but the .wad files and assets that Doom needs to run are not GPL and are not included in the source code. It's the text files containing application code that are open source. And GPL specifically says

Great snark from people that apparently didn't read the article, but this article is about hackers using stolen admin credentials to install a malicious plugin that renders popups with malware to site visitors.

Hear me out: is that Wikipedia? I am sure people are submitting all sorts of AI-generated information, but it's probably getting rejected? (If someone better informed than me has any data one way or the other, I'm super curious)

Google is going to have to solve for this somehow if they want to remain relevant, right? If searching for an image and generating the image yield the same result, what's the point of image search any more?

The title of this somehow makes it sound nefarious, but if you read the linked thread, the mods themselves say they tried before and the Reddit admins said they couldn't do it. Matt went to spez and got special approval, so this is act

WordPress is secure enough that whitehouse.gov runs on it and zero-day vendors pay $100,000+ if you have an exploit for the core WordPress software. It's not "magically secure" though -- you wouldn't say that AWS is inse

Not necessarily! The front of the car could be lighter or heavier as long as the total car is balanced. This is the way that the high-end EV conversions do it (e.g. https://revoltsystems.com ), but most at-home EV conversions sim

Beyond space concerns, there are balance concerns. You could fill the trunk or hood with batteries, but that adds 1000+ pounds to the end(s) of the car, so it will be a poor driving experience (for reference, a good size ICE engine is ~500

I ask this question every time I interview and the answer is always useless, something like “Well, it varies”. For some reason companies never want to say what they’re working on, like it’s state secrets or something. I guess that’s a signa

It's more nuanced these days and depends on what type of business you have. The era of e.g. writing blog posts with some code snippets to try and get search traffic that converts into freelancing clients is waning (and the strategy was

We'll have to agree to disagree. It's not glamorous or super fun to develop on, but is in very battle-tested. WordPress runs 40-something percent of all sites, and WooCommerce is the most popular eCommerce system in the world. I h

WordPress doesn't consider usernames as a secret[1], so under that logic it is totally fine to say whether a username exists when trying to log in. [1] https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20235#comment:7

I blame agile and SaaS, neither of which are super tolerant of developers taking a few days just to read up on things. When you're both an owner of the company and/or just need to ship one good version of something, you get a litt

I think the tricky part about basing it off overall net worth is that for the average retiree their house is a big part of their net worth. Many could downsize to get some cash out of it, but people do still need to live somewhere.

On the flip side, Hyatt has billions of dollars of equity in real estate (which appreciates in value while not technically generating a profit), while AirBnB has an online marketplace. Presumably that's part of the PE difference.
