And how exactly do you foresee probabilistic systems working out in real life? Nobody wants software that seldom does what they expect, and which tends to trend toward desirable behavior over time (where "desirable" behavior is de

Do you believe in private property rights? If the product they want doesn't exist then they're shit out of luck and they must either make one or wait for one to get made. You're arguing that it's okay for them to break t

This level of hypocrisy is comical. Exploiting the pricing gap between API usage and subscription leads to vastly increased efficiency and productivity therefore it needs to be legally protected. That's the argument when it comes to LL

The issue is that "83 per second" is multiple orders of magnitude off the expected level of performance on any RDBMS running on anything resembling modern hardware. I haven't worked with Graphile but this just doesn't pa

by dns_snek 9mo ago
Facing issues with 83 jobs per second (5k/min) sounds like an extreme misconfiguration. That's not high throughput at all and it shouldn't create any appreciable load on any database.

And as great as it is, even the "real stuff" isn't a silver bullet. In my experience stimulants remove like 25-50% of the difficulty over the long term, depending on the day, which is extremely valuable but it's far from

If the DIY work wasn't the cause for the fire it shouldn't matter, but I half-expect someone to inform me that US insurance companies can (legally) deny coverage for reasons unrelated to the accident.

It's not the default but you can get it installed that way or get it adapted later (less than ideal if you end up having to replace the inverter).

You're comparing the cost of a battery with a full system. That 16 kWh battery requires a ~$3000 inverter to go along with it.

AI-generated implementation with AI-generated tests left me with some of the worst code I've witnessed in my life. Many of the passing tests it generated were tautologies (i.e. they would never fail even if behavior was incorrect). Whe

I think I know what they mean, I share a similar experience. It has changed, 3.5 couldn't even attempt to solve non-trivial tasks so it was a 100% failure, now it's 70%.

Do you think they're stupid and just don't realize that they pay for it with taxes? You're not factoring in the most critical piece of financing - the mental burden. You don't want to be stuck figuring out how to get eno

I don't think your other comment supports your assertion. I've experienced Bitwarden failing to auto-fill due to quirks on websites, but I've never seen it fail to identify the domain correctly. You link to Bitwarden's i

That's philosophy and mental health, I was talking about technical or other "work" topics. But to answer the question, it depends on the framing - if someone starts the chat by saying that they feel like life isn't worth

You shouldn't be surprised. Almost every single story involving the EU and Apple that I've seen over the past few years was full of low effort responses and generic rants about the EU by people who clearly haven't read past t
