Sufficiently aggressive and inconsiderate scraping is indistinguishable from a DDOS attack.

Haven't read this one, and there is certainly plenty of useless rage bait on the internet. But in general it is important and serves a purpose to criticize people wielding a lot of power. This doesn't have to be constructive, if t

Shooting her did absolutely nothing to disable the threat. The car continued and arguably even accelerated after the driver was shot.

It's not a bodycam, he had his smartphone in the hand and was filming with it.

Taking a step to the side certainly is an "other objectively reasonable means of defense".

It is trigger-happy because there was no good reason to draw the weapon or shoot at all. Shooting the woman did not do anything to stop the car, to the contrary it resulted in the car accelerating and hitting another vehicle. He could have

There are at least two videos available from different perspectives. None of them show her trying to run anyone over.

There is no reward for closing questions. The gamification is mostly via reputation, and only asking, answering (and very limited editing) grant reputation.

I just recently switched to Linux since I had some weird Windows issues I couldn't fix. I've tried to switch a few times before, but the main problem at some point was that I didn't have proper fractional scaling on Linux. An

People answer on SO because it's fun. Why should they spend their time fixing AI answers? It's very tedious as the kind of mistakes LLMs make can be rather subtle and AI can generate a lot of text very fast. It's a sisyphean

Stack Overflow moderation is very transparent compared to whatever Reddit considers moderation. For programming my main problem with Reddit is that the quality of posts is very low compared to SO. It's not quite comparable because the

You don't need any reputation to ask questions, you only need to create an account.

Fixing loads of LLM-generated content is neither easy nor fun. You'll have a very hard time getting people to do that.

Not zero, but it is smaller than when it launched originally. And this is questions asked, not how many people are visiting and reading posts.

There is an obvious acceleration of the downwards trend at the time ChatGPT got popular. AI is clearly a part of this, but not the only thing that affects SO activity.

I think it is even more important now to look at the individual people making these decisions instead of looking at the country. The interests of the US don't matter in this administration, the interests of the people in charge drive t

Nobody cares if you jaywalk as long as no children are around. If there are children around, most people will avoid crossing a red light even if they otherwise would cross. But that's not a rule-following thing, it's a "don&#

Anywhere doesn't help you much. You want to stop at a station with sufficiently good connections to continue your travels. This situation seems pretty unusual, even for the DB. A regional express train should have many more stops than

The article is very long and confusing to me. I think there are two main points in there, the stuff around them is more misleading than helpful to me. The recent React/RSC/Next.js vulnerabilities were just bugs. Adding RSCs added

For this kind of small scale setup, a reasonable backup strategy is all you need for that. The one critical part is that you actually verify your backups are done and work. Hardware doesn't fail that often. A single server will easil

Looks very interesting. I really like trigram indexes for certain use cases, but those are essentially running an ILIKE %something% on various text content in the DB. So that would fit the described limitations of this index type very well.

I don't really know enough about the specifics here. But my main points isn't about checksums, but more something like WAL in Postgres. For an embedded KV store this is probably not the solution, but my understanding is that there

Looks interesting for something like local development. I don't intend to run production object storage myself, but some of the stuff in the guide to the production setup ( https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation&#x

Those errors don't seem AI-specific to me, they could easily be made by humans.

I would assume so, but I didn't see any smoking guns in the text itself. But I'm also not familiar with the newest models here and their quirks.

The secondary structure graphic is entirely wrong. It's full of bad chemical formulas, and I would assume is AI-generated. I'm quite impressed by the amino acid overview graphic. I'm sure all images are AI-generated, and this

They didn't put bombs in pagers that were freely sold. They put them into shipments for Hizbollah specifically.

The numbers you state are from the Lebanese government and Hizbollah. So I don't think we can assume they are accurate. I don't have any better numbers, though. You specific argument though misuses even those numbers. 42 is the nu

It really depends on how hard they make it to actually make a support request.
