Why is it so hard for people to understand or appreciate the higher layers of abstraction, that lie above their preferred layers of comfort? Think back on assembly programmers scoffing at c programmers. Same arguments, probably same outcome

It is not immediate public information what person is behind my domain. By having cloudflare as the mitm proxy in between my domain and my server, that link between the two is also not immediately apparent to the public. Then, all the filte

Sure, but they can't connect the domain names to my IP or infer what services I run. The ports are closed, the only way to reach the services is to go through the domain name, the firewall and the tunnel, in probably that order.

I also expose some of my homelab through the cloudflare tunnel. Every IP, except a choice few, are banned before any request reaches my router. I don't need to worry about filtering using my limited bandwidth and resources, cloudflare

the clever ones at least avoid the stock exchange. Generating revenue and profit at the expense of the participants is literally the ponzi scheme.

I simply have more fun doing my job. At work, many of my colleagues are too busy to collaborate and brainstorm with me, who enjoys it a lot and have a lot of energy for it. They are classic 9to5 and that's fine, but I like software dev

That's a very cute power rangers way of saying it, but c'mon, it's easy to say when it's not you who is the target of a limitless revenge machine.

Russia and China rely heavily on their manipulated currencies to stay functional. There could never be a common currency between them that they can't directly control.

Luckily Russia wasted all their Soviet era stockpiles in Ukraine, and those are never coming back. Russia is still dangerous and annoying, but not the threat it was before the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

My theory is, that people who have the discipline to follow these weird self-imposed restrictions, don't actually need them. They can just follow through with the self-imposed restrictions on the actual problem. If you want to limit so

Cloudflare doesn't need AI to survive as a business. There are more than enough DDoS attacks to protect from.

Being honest about self-driving AI gets you sued by the richest guy on earth.

But did you record a complementary TikTok dance, though?

It would be, in its ideal state a vague problem to concrete and robust implementation compiler. A star trek replicator for software. Obviously we are nowhere near that, and we may never arrive. But this is the big bet.

by grim_io 10mo ago
We are one functional output guarantee away from them being optimizing compilers. Of course, we maybe never get there :)

by grim_io 10mo ago
Non determinism does not imply non correctness. You can have the LLM do 10 different outputs, but maybe all 10 are valid solutions. Some might be more optimal in certain situations, and some might appeal to different people aesthetically.

It only gets better daily at stuff it already kinda could do. It can write my code a bit less shitty tomorrow, but that doesn't sound like the fulfillment of the promises given. Tomorrow, another company will yet again fail to integrat

Inference is probably okay priced, at least at API prices. The salaries, training and especially data center build out might be a little crazy right now.

And yet, you completely ignore the possibility that someone could value portability, lightness or even looks of the device far above any points you hold very dear. I get it, all that you say I would agree on regarding my stationary hardware

I'm still good at what I do, so I'm looking forward to better models to help me atrophy and shrivel my remaining skills :)

Nah, they will fine-tune a local LLM to replace the board and be always loyal to the CEO. Elon is way ahead, he did it with mere meatbags.

I don't think anyone is concerned what anyone deserves in terms of hardware. Different companies "impose" different tradeoffs upon us. Pick what you like, but expect to pay a premium for a less popular choice.

What are you warning us about? I found the post informative.

You can call it what ever you like, but to me this is deceptive. Where is the difference between this and Indian support staff pretending to be in your vicinity by telling you about the local weather? Your version is arguably even worse bec

Sure, but I don't see a world where keeping X11 alive, in addition to all of this, makes anything better or easier, for anyone in the medium to long term.

Linux on the desktop only took of because Ubuntu, with mixed results and a lot of controversy, decided to standardize and polish the experience for "normies". The distribution sprawl I largely see as a detriment to the ecosystem.
328.
by grim_io 10mo ago
I disagree. The choices in the Linux ecosystem lead to unnecessary fragmentation and development/packaging nightmares. I say let X11 die, bury it, and never let it rise again. Then we can all focus on making just one display server as

The average user only cares what they can run on the desktop. Linux did not have as much choice back then.

I'm glad there has been a break in endless bikeshedding over TDD, OOP, ORM(partially) and similar.
