they are just bullshit machines. bullshitters can cite wikipedia and are still bullshitters who are bullshitting.

Semantic versioning is an illusion. It's a human-managed attempt to convey things about the surfaces and behaviors of software systems. Best case, it isn't completely misleading and a waster of everyone's time. There is no pe

Figma absolutely sucks. It is slow, but more importantly, by encouraging UX designers to work in high fidelity designs where live changes are frustrating and feedback is entirely incorporated as a bunch of mostly-hidden comments in a sandbo

There's almost no HCI or interaction design in what passes for UX today. They are mostly - probably 90+% of them - visual designers who have memorized some canned responses to use when asked why they aren't doing basic things. Ser

sshfs doesn't work for things where you're developing for linux and working on macos - run the code, run the debugger, step, etc. I don't use IDEs at all and work on sshfs almost exclusively, but I totally understand where pe

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an llm in any context ask for clarification. Is that a real thing?

Very much so. Pretty much all of these protocols are simplifications of asn1 and in some cases (like protobuf) there are a handful of things that got lost because the wire formats didn’t have them as they didn’t need them. A schema indicato

Have you tried any of the specialty services like Augment? I am curious if they are any better or just snake oil.

The connection between canker sores and SLS is pretty well known and not rare or caused by some other allergy.

More like three years. Even in the best case the retained value curve of GPUs is absolutely terrible. Most of these huge investments in GPUs are going to be massive losses.

At least on Intel, it was quite a significant difference in some ways, in kernel terms.

Honestly whatever the hell Google offers at this point has been disguising itself as google search for years. It sure as shit is not what people expect from google.

Are you familiar with Centralia?

by foobiekr 2y ago
For the many reasons I listed. Pre sharesd keys are almost always global and you can’t do forensics to find the leak.

I am very familiar with reporting bugs on the Linux kernel, as you may imagine from the previous comments. But you’re just reiterating that the kernel development itself lacks sufficient testing which necessitates this. Everyone is a volunt

I think you’re missing the point. Unless you were actually measuring the content of your file system with a reasonable quality hash function, you likely had actual data corruption that Fsck will never see. Fsck can’t check data on ext*. Unl

Pki here does not mean a global CA. You can run your own CAs (and should).

You don’t need to bring up quantum computers. Almost all protocols in the networking industry are basically running with a shared secret that is service global. Pop any box at all and you have the world for any traffic you can capture. The

More likely they got access and then snooped any of the many insecure protocols used to manage network devices. Anyone who has ever worked in networking will understand what I mean. The networking industry is comically bad. They use ssh but

Yes, they are very careful about not breaking userspace. That has nothing to do with holding the _user_ in high regard, though. The sweeping changes in Linux are amazing, but they also break a lot, frequently, and the testing approach leave

Your experience is selection bias. And if you never had issues with ext3fs, I assure you it's because you never checked.

No coder should ever, ever be shocked that broken code mostly kind of seems to work, especially if you don't notice things like file corruption because you're not looking, or memory corruption that doesn't happen to matter at

Working for a vendor that ships Linux code, we find regressions all the time. Because we actually test things. We do try to be good citizens, and Linux is the right answer, but it isn't a false assertion on the part of the author at al

OpenAI isn't making money. They are like a giant furnace for investment dollars. Even putting aside that the NFL and OpenAI aren't the same kind of entity, there is also no taxes issue.

I don't understand what theoretical basis can even exist for "I don't know" from an LLM, just based on how they work. I don't mean the filters - those are not internal to the LLM, they are external, a programmatic r

If you look at any map of antibiotic resistance, it is quite obvious where the problem is.
