Bing chat is a rushed product. I can’t believe they let it use the company brand so easily. Didn’t anyone in Microsoft know how the public used ChatGPT and that Meta’s Galactica LLM before they got filtered and shut down respectively? This

Do we have something like this for C++ (parts not shared with C)?

Is there any evidence about it being an asset flip or pointing towards it being one? In my career as a game developer, I haven't seen any particularly large AAA-scoped Soviet 50s Atompunk style asset packs out there on the markets. So

I was talking more about the errors and crashes one sees while developing software. What you bring up is more from the software user perspective. If a software engineer sees their software crash because files or permissions are missing, I t

I disagree. Errors are failures. Not just failures in code execution, but also, objectively, shortcomings of the programmer's skill. It's very difficult to deny this because there is usually a lot of evidence. However, there is so

Distributions are useful for optimizing. But the decision whether a queue should generally be empty or have elements comes out of system requirements. Then you can employ statistics to plan what resources you will allocate to processing the

There isn’t any gross disrespect in using ChatGPT that wasn’t already there in the torrent of these copy+pasted memos after tragedies. The disrespect comes from corpos exploiting and indulging in these opportunities for moral posturing. Whe

They should be empty if you wish to minimize latency. For example, when emergency room queues are full in hospitals, that is a very undesirable scenario. The same can be applied in software - there are parts of systems that should only use

Many people are expecting it to be like BioShock, Wolfenstein, or even Half-Life - an FPS game with solid mechanics and great alt-history world building that features a strong social/political ideology. This combo has been very success

Over the years, I have stopped caring about things like these (and many others). Bad grammar in source control, documentation and tickets is very inconsequential in the big business picture. What is the return on investment, so to speak, in

Just my thoughts - At least one core aspect of human consciousness seems to be the ability to pursue self-decided goals. Without this agency, we wouldn’t need to wonder about our purpose and the meaning of life, because we would not recogni

I don’t have to imagine. I changed my last name when I got married, as many people choose to do. It’s not a big headache. You could also do it for another reason than marriage. The effect will be the same. And it’s easy to do. Whitewashing

I've seen this work very well in one company and fail several times in another. For many people, being reachable and interruptible constantly is the worst part of office work. So they don't want to replicate it digitally. Others a

Ah yes… Jira and Confluence at home. All that’s missing is a micromanaging product owner.

I think there’s immediate gratification in this. You feel like you’re making progress towards your goals by planning them out, even if you don’t actually progress. You just add a superfluous step of documentation and complete it. A small in

One can also change their name in that case. It might be one of the most effective ways of wiping one's internet slate clean.

It seems to me that calling it a "recall" emphasises the severity of the problem, which might make it easier to argue that a lot is being done for customer safety to the interested authorities. But I don't think Tesla wants t

This article made me think about how many things we (as humanity and as individuals) have not experienced enough times to realize their patterns, and to start identifying them as things. Without being able to symbolically reason about them

A clear instruction is the most helpful (“Try again or contact support”). A root cause reason for the error (“Connection timed out”) is somewhat helpful, an error code (“408”) can be at least a little bit helpful if user-facing or customer

The disease is also infecting the backend and codebases themselves. It’s always fun to maintain someone’s code with comments like “//todo make the magic happen” when they’ve left the company. Not everything in life is made better

Yes. A good error message should include an instruction to the user. Even the error reason is optional. An error code with nothing else is the bare minimum for an error to be worth a message in my opinion. Otherwise it’s just as usele

In this case it’s encryption but interesting point. GDPR fines come from not following basic data protection practices, not for the breach itself. Also, a lot of reputational damage of the leak comes from bad infosec (case study: LastPass).

It doesn’t matter what they were told. It’s Amazon’s legal responsibility. And with enough reminding, they would refund eventually. I’ve gotten refunds for parcels lost in 2020-22 even if I was denied them initially. It’s Amazon’s strategy

Yes, there would still be minimal loss. But not enough to be extorted over.

Ah, that’s true, looks like it has been privatized. But the government originally retained a significant stake in the company even after it was made publicly traded. Not sure about it today. Interesting point. Though I think it’s even worse

Why is ransomware still a problem? Is it that difficult to make off-site backups every hour? Storage is cheap. There are many air gapping options for backups, too. It sounds like a case of normalized deviance, for which the management shoul

It’s not your problem. The seller is legally responsible for the delivery. Chat with Amazon again and remind them. Or consult with Citizens Advice if you need help. Amazon support eventually refunds basically anything if you are persistent
