It’s also about managing length and slack.

> Putting an llm in front of it helps me focus on the facts. This used to be a very important skill taught in high school and perfected in university. We have lost something if people cannot focus even for short reads.

It might seem they are lazy and not willing to put in the hard work to learn for themselves. The follow up questions confirmed this.

curious question as a canadian. when our prime minister makes a budget, it really is his fault. He runs parliament and executive functions. The budget in the USA is supposed to be a congressional matter so why does the president get any bla

Canada had very high taxes covering everything from income to sales and yet our debt is ballooning at the federal and provincial level. Its like saying that uncle bob has a ton of credit card debt because he doesn’t make enough money and no

Zero to one nines of uptime. Shoving copilot in everyone’s faces rather than focusing on quality. Threatening to charge people for self-hosted runners.

Given the mtbf of disks, I wouldn’t risk doing backups on a device discontinued in 2018.

Similar with the copilot and not autopilot usage. I find its the best of them all. Mostly i just use it as an occasionnal search engine. I've never found LLMs to be efficient to actually do work. I do miss the day when tech docs were u

You worry too much about being wrong. Just try something and adjust as needed.

There was a double fronted marketing push by both organizations. That much is true and this makes me more skeptical of the message and how exactly it was framed. If we just stick with c/c++ systems, pretty much every big enough project

Maybe attackers would focus on these unused bits for very niche products, but generally no one would waste their time. In general, drivers make up the largest attack surface in the kernel and many of them are just along for the ride rather

Slop coding and makeshift sites being thrown up with abandon at breakneck speeds is going to buy me a lot of minivans.

And now the number of people who car read Homer and study it are dropping to 0. They just want the summary notes without any deep thought and the reward that comes with it.

Did people forget that practice makes perfect? The best way for someone to level up is to go get their hands dirty and dive into everything themselves.

This is one of the main problems I have with LLMs. It finds patterns in words but not content. I see this in code reviews and eventually outages. Something looks reasonable at the micro scale but clearly didn’t understand something importan

I’ve been using cmake since early 2000s when i was hacking on the vtk/itk toolkit. Compiling a c++ program hasn’t gotten any better/worse. FWIW, I always used the curses interface for it.

I hear a lot from linux users that found gtk 2 era on x11 as pretty close to perfect. I know i had run ubuntu and after boot it used far less than 1GB. The desktop experience was perhaps even slightly more polished than what we have today.

There are plenty of static analyzers do attempt to walk code paths for reachability. Some even track tainted input. And yes, these are often good starting points for developing exploits. I’ve done this myself. I’m curious about LLM agents,

Static/Dynamic analysis tools find vulnerabilities all the time. Almost all projects of a certain size have a large backlog of known issues from these boring scanners. The issue is sorting through them all and triaging them. There&#x27
