No we won’t. We’ll make grand statements about it, leave it for commercial entities to corrupt it, then complain loudly about the state of it when we really did nothing about it. I expect we’ve got a future of “undo forks” as I’ve called th

Quite frankly I’m enjoying the schadenfreude on this one.

AWS runs a hell of a lot of old junk. I was surprised at how we managed to save a lot of money not using it as well.

Yeah but there's a huge amount of generic estate to support those GPUs.

I suspect that these prices are going to seriously dent sales. RAM is getting crushed. I bet the next step is going to be dumb terminals and centralisation onto all the hardware that the cloud companies bought up for AI and found wasn'

I use keepassxc. I don’t sync mobile. My mobile device has an only the minimum subset of passwords I need saved on it.

Just wait for the economics to catch up and eat the marketing. No effort required.

None of this is due to AI. That’s just the cover story that stops the stock crashing. The reality is the market is contracting and it’s doing that because the extraction and monthly financial models are hurting other businesses which are al

The whole stack is a pile of badly designed hacks. Not much point in fixing it now. I mean they can’t even spell referrer correctly.

They don’t want a Farage. They don’t know what they want. They’re floating voters. They vote what they are told to.

It'll go under the rug as it always does because no one wants to explain that our AI first strategy was a stupid one that caused a net negative ROI impact and reputational damage.

They actually hacked holes in the things with a crowbar too. That didn't do as much damage as expected though. And they videoed themselves doing it and published that. And the aircraft weren't usable in the Israel-Palestine confli

Ah yes the lovely protesters who spat on me, called me a baby killer and pretended they were going to punch me when I got stuck in the middle of them and said "I don't have time for this - I need to get to my mother" while I

People forget that the government is still mostly the civil service. The thin veneer of politicians over the top doesn't change the operating constraints of the UK unless you can spend a long time on the matter and reshape things slowl

God no. None at all. That's what we need though. No more bloody populist snakes!

Might as well just hand Farage the next general election at this rate. The last decade has been personality cult after personality cult. We had the start of stability and have thrown chaos in again. Just what the opposition want.

I can say very little in detail but basically Claude doesn’t have any conceptual idea of order of operations and transactional guarantees which resulted in producing something that failed under normal load. There is an evidence chain to sug

Yeah. Here I am sitting on a major incident at our company because someone’s vibe coded shit went seriously wrong.

This is what I do. I love watching them cringe when they see my new daily rate.

Yeah we have that too. The right wing are using it to leverage voters here.

You mean you don’t have 300 versions of your badly developed rapidly evolving platform services rotting away underneath the bit you didn’t duplicate?

by cryo32 4mo ago
Yes they just automated the broken now.

You can do both with microservices!

What about the bit where the majority of the browsers on the web are or were derived from WebKit, which was Apple originated? Nobody really wanted Flash. It was expensive to develop for, had a bunch of security issues and was generally bloa

I fully agree with this. The problem we have now is determining if the person actually wrote it. It suddenly got a lot easier for people to get someone else to generate text. And there are a lot more lazy humans than skilled writers.
