I fail to imagine a single bit of business software that cannot be achieved with open source software, outside of specific proprietary processes. But your average office technology work, I see being very plausible to move to open source. Th

That is also true for thieves looking to steal your vehicle by finding where you live, so it is an unfortunate intersection of crime and crime prevention. There are much better options for vehicle tracking and theft prevention so I would pe

That seems very reasonable, doesn't it? Otherwise the fork could pollute the training data through bad modifications, and tracing that would be a pain.

I did spend a serious amount of commercial time developing fronted UIs in React, Angular, and the before times in vanilla JS/css. I even wrote my own UI framework in Web Components, developed my own CSS framework used by an agency chur

The country is filled with regular guns, legal and illegal, this seems like a really pointless avenue of restriction. It's also already illegal to manufacture weapons without the required licenses, so if someone is okay breaking that l

Ford is definitely of the better manufacturers for this. Ubiquitous parts, most models are quite reliable, and a robust service network that's been embedded for decades. Toyota is another counter-example, and a lot of the incumbents ar

I don't touch frontend very often anymore, but you could see the writing on the wall for complexity when React took over and newer devs were working exclusively in that abstraction. Unlike other abstractions where things get tidied up

That's not particularly unique amongst car manufacturers.

It's just disappointing that this is the best society could come up with. Advertising is exploitive, this is well studied, but it is also just kind of a lame outcome. I also wonder if the dollars and cents work out, the cost to provide

The next gen of models are going to need very strict sanitising of input articles as I think the sheer volume of GPT SEO spam is going to be, or already is, quite staggering. Model collapse might not be what happens but certainly a dilution

Google and other search engines are already failing to surface real results, it feels like the general forces of SEO have already flooded the internet with AI generated articles. I am honestly gobsmacked by the speed of the turn around, fin

That has been my impression too, it takes particular guidance to get it to write concise code without too much architecture airmanship.

I think you are pointing out the exact conflation here. The commentor probably didn't steal a bunch of code, because it is possible to reason from first principles and rules and still end up being able to code as a human. It did not ta

I'm not convinced, I believe the institutions of church were and often still are the foundations of communities in many positive ways. But the fact that they rest on an arbitrary belief in one of the popular gods does make it a pretty

I certainly agree with your last paragraph, however whilst I believe you're not wrong about the first I don't believe that is the only option for increasing supply. For example, if you look at some of the densest cities in the wor

I think the best approach right now would still be to pick a game engine, and start learning it, in this case with heavy assistance from LLMs. Unity will have the most training data in it for this approach. There is actually a lot of game d

What does anyone gain from it really, except money in the bank for a handful of individuals, outsized property prices seem to be a hurdle for functional societies in basically every way. It doesn't benefit a town if rent is so expensiv

Of course they wouldn't, owning and operating a plane is -incredibly- inconvenient. That's what we are discussing, tradeoffs of convenience and discomfort, you can't just completely ignore one reality to criticise the other (

I guess that's one reason to not use public transport, but it seems many cities overcome that pretty readily. Perhaps it depends on how smelly your society is. Anyway I think we are in agreement, given a good system and a good society

I am a car enthusiast so don't think I'm off the deep end here, but I would definitely argue that people love their cars as a tool to work in the society we built with cars in mind. Most people aren't car enthusiasts, they&#x

Sorry I guess it's not very clear from my post, the data points aren't what's missing it is the insights. An insight comes from the melding of a life of experiences, you can't just stick a bunch of sensors on humans and

A big challenge of game dev is the asynchronous nature of all the requirements, and that the game will develop its direction continuously throughout dev. That is to say you don't know what assets etc you need until you've develope

Sounds like the issue is back to back meetings then. Also every meeting taking the exact time it was scheduled for is a bit of an org smell too. If you have your meeting etiquette dialed in you should hopefully be finishing meetings early m

Feature, attribute, loophole. I really doubt we fundamentally disagree on the situation here. You can use your empathy to understand why people are disappointed, and I will pretend such a detail oriented thread has made me feel content. Ant

No one said it was complicated, and you might be imagining that I care more than I do. However if you can't understand why having a feature of a paid product removed is dissatisfying, then I cannot help you understand any further. I am

That's not quite the same thing I think, the risk here is that the sources of training information vanishes as well, not necessarily the feedback loop aspect. For example all the information on the web could be said to be a distillatio

From my perspective, I was paying for the model. This is kind of a pointless distinction now though. It was working and now it isn't, and the outcome is that some of their customers are unhappy and might move on. API access is not the

As a user it is because I can no longer use the subscription with the greater tooling ecosystem. As for Anthropic, they might not want to do this as they may lose users who decide to use another provider, since without the cost benefit of t

If said countries were part of the conversation at all you might consider that a weakness, but looking at actual markers for geopolitical power you might not stress too much about plumbing, with or without it, in your analysis. Given the ac
