As the company? No. In fact, it's likely better for you if they do a bad job. You potentially get shielded from blame, but don't actually have to put in the work. As a user/customer/potential victim? Yeah, you do.

The start menu never was electron. It's react native desktop. So, nodejs creating and updating native (well, winui 3) controls.

Hard to make an AC 500km away cool down my home. An AI doesn't really need to be in my flat. Not that I have the space for a server rack anyways.

> helping some people is great even if it doesn't help everyone It's kind of funny, but I very much agree with this. It's just in this case, it's hurting everyone (in ways most don't even realize) so that you can

It's not one example. The scammers purposefully target people like these. That's their business. Like, I'm sure there's a small amount of people who normally wouldn't get scammed but fall for it in a panic. But, is

There's been some reporting recently where I live about a case of some woman being scammed. She went to a bank to transfer the scammer money. They told her no. She came back the next day. The police got involved and explained everythin

If you want to cook at home, there's no waiting list. There's no popup you have to confirm three times. You buy a stove, which likely lasts you half your life, a fridge, some dishes, pots, pans and so on. I think it's fine to

If we're going to be like that, we should go for Nvidia. Their market cap is currently ~4T. I can see that going very well.

It may be defeatist, but it is correct. Seriously, how do you even realistically approach taking on ASML. They spent decades and billions of (investment) dollars to do insane moonshot research and it paid off. But it also closed off the doo

I mean, the most expected outcome does mostly happen. When gambling, you are expected to lose money and you do. I'm not quite convinced that the same isn't true for vibecoding.

Yes. My Jira tickets used to be almost empty, but all of it was useful info. Now, my Jira tickets are way too long. The amount of useful info has also gone down. Talk about an AI induced productivity increase ...

This is said very often, but doesn't seem to be working out in practice. Valve has spent a lot of time and money on machine learning models which analyze demo files (all inputs). Yet Counter-Strike is still infested with cheaters. I gu

I'm not sure that's true. You may not see it that way, but you're still participating in a capitalist society. Not that there's necessarily something wrong with that, but you have to acknowledge that and act accordingly.

I have my doubts that top Chinese AI researchers want to work for an AI company with direct tires to the white house and zero morals. Not for any great ethical concerns mind you. Simply because the US is a geological rival to China.

Surely we can all agree that there is a difference between: - Sharing/working on something for free with the hopes that others like it and maybe co tribute back. - Sharing something for free so that a giant corporation can make several

Maybe because TypeScript is not valid JavaScript (yet)? If you don't strip types, your code doesn't work.

I'm fine with rounded corners. But I would also like a phone without a selfie camera. I just don't ever use it. If my phone can spy on me then that's the only use the front camera has ever had.

A large part of "degoogling" to me means "stop giving google money" and "cut off Google entirely from my life". If I have to give Google a lot of money every 4-6 years to remain "de-googled" then I ne

I don't think it's true, but ... "Google built Android to be impossible to maintain without them." Could be a very genuine answer to that question. Do you really need all of Android? What if you can build a very similar

Too many to list, but for some examples: You take a reference to a vector element, which you later accidentally invalidate by pushing to the same vector. You move out of a unique_ptr, but then you accidentally use it again. You create a cyc

It's not really that interesting. For instance, we've seemingly decided that various blue collar workers are incapable of not falling to their deaths and so have come up with OSHA and various other national equivalents. Drivers ar

Yes there is. RAII is not a full replacement for GC and you will shoot yourself in the foot if you treat it as such. The design of C++ also includes many unpatchable holes in the standard library which WILL cause errors and UB.

AI proponents have been very vocal about AI safety being meaningless. But nobody could have expected that the end of the world would have come because Trump puts Grok in charge of the US nuclear arsenal. We truly live in the dumbest timelin

There's no custom rust linker just yet. The change in September was to switch from GNU LD to lld for performance on Linux. There are some rust linker projects (like wild), but these tend to be aimed at speed (and/by incremental li

How does this work with private companies? It feels like Nvidia could find that the market does not value OpenAI stock the same way they did.

Sort of. Given an instance (can even be a primitive) you can obtain a dyn reference to a trait it implements simply by casting it. let a: i32 = 12 let b = &a as &dyn std::string::ToString; // i32 implements the ToString tr

It's not. The user has to decide. A specific type/reference to a type will always use static dispatch. fn foo(bar: &Baz) { bar.thing(); } A dyn trait reference will always use dynamic dispatch and carry around the vtable poi

I think you have a misunderstanding of the term alignment. Really, you could replace "aligned" with "working" and "misaligned" with "broken". A washing machine has one goal, to wash your clothes. A wa

I know this is a foreign concept to some, but you can have a backbone. Challenge it in court. Move the company to a different jurisdiction. Burn everything down and refuse to comply.
