In my case it is rarely that I use LLM to write comments but rather I frequently use an LLM on my finished comment to fix things I miss as a non native speaker. The content of the comment is my unique opinion and my unique writing and I mos

I now see that some accounts get access to copilot chat on the new address and some don't. Copilot itself blamed it on "compliance" yesterday but so far no explanation as to why it works on one paying customer and not on anot

No. You have just missed the two last steps. Here is the full explanation, and it is the same as it has always been on HN: 1. Make prototype 2. Magic happens here 3. Make lots of $$$ Great for prototyping only makes it easier to get to st

That was not what I was thinking of when I wrote it, but that absolutely also was a thing: I especially remember one particular feature that was really useful and really easy to enable in Enterprise Manager, but that would cost you at least

With me I know : I know if I close my eyes now there is nothing visible. I also know if I have a good night's sleep and wake up late on Saturday I might be able to see images of things I am working on in the garden or elsewhere. S

Yes. Or maybe rather understand. For me it was a lightbulb moment just like my realisation of exactly how bad my colourblindness was: what is next to impossible for me to see (red drawings on woods in maps) was chosen by someone who thought

Maybe you have aphantasia as well. I had without knowing it. Some observations: Someone told me to close my eyes and think about "an apple at a table". Then I was told to open my eyes and tell what color the apple was. The questio

Using the same arguments people used (use?) against IDEs and I think also against compilers and stuff back in the punch card days. I am not a researcher, but I am a techlead and I've seen it work again and again: IDEs work. And LLMs wo

Agree. But for anyone tempted by Oracle, do remember that the upfront, agreed licence costs are only a fraction of the true price: You’ll need someone who actually knows Oracle - either already in place or willing to invest a serious amount

Interesting idea and I think Nikon did with high end(?) cameras a number of years ago. Nikon tried this a number of years ago, and I am not sure if they ever managed to stop hardware hackers from extracting their private keys, here are some

IIRC and AFAIK the plans for Israel were made by the precursors to UN way before Holocaust. Holocaust was not the reason for the plan for a Jewish national home in historic Israel, Arab persecution of Jews in the region was.
