If you are worried about after death, then get a good lawyer who can get the documents destroyed, and have your will say so. In the end, a computer may be a bit safer. But if it is high enough value... someone will find a way.

Yes, but the discord pool is diluted. Think about like 100,000,000 tons of 1% acid being discord. And 10,000 tons of pure acid being the things I mentioned. It is going to be easier to get burned in the places I mentioned. Discord has much

If you are worried about that, you have to be really careful with OPSEC. The "look over your shoulder" attack is omni-present. (Also easier to prevent with paper, in general, than with a larger computer screen.) A simple safe wil

In the USA, your papers are probably as well protected or better than your computer documents. Also: If your papers are taken, you probably can figure it out. At the nation state level... honestly, they'll read it straight off your mon

KiwiFarms, or you could try 4chan, I recommend /b, but I am sure other spots will net you plenty of weirdos.

Unless the tool is absurdly priced, this is a great deal for Lowes. You get good will for your brand, and a person who is very happy in your store at that moment. Simply Brilliant.

SPARC is a neat ISA, but the concept at the core: register windows, did not take off. OpenPOWER: It may have to do with the size of the ISA when it started to be open. RISC-V, when announced was a small ISA. That means making chips is easi

They serve different uses. A lawyer can handle the trial for you and things like that. The LLM can help you with issues of fact, etc. And could even make stronger privacy guarantees than a lawyer if setup right. (But I doubt that will ev

There's times when there's no good docs.... ChatGPT can give you a spot to start from, even if it is wrong. Trusting it blindly is stupid. But, so is trusting any sources without verification.

by ilc 3y ago
That's why you look at what it says with a critical eye. I think of ChatGPT like a pretty smart co-worker. Just because they are smart doesn't mean they are always right.

Consider... it might be. Seriously, I work for a company very protective of its IP. And I can still use ChatGPT and similar tools for some of what I do. It is a huge force multiplier.

Sad thing is: When you said him... I can replace your friend and the manager into the rest of the paragraph and it makes sense. But I could see that at any firm, in the right situation.

Something most people don't think about with large companies: They aren't monoliths. Your experience could be totally different in a different part of the company. 300k people is going to create a ton of variance. That said, I&#

IMHO: DevOps was about a simple thing. "One throat to choke." If there is a problem, you have operations, and development mixed together to produce one nexus of responsibility. The moment someone says "I can't.... becau

If you have the right tools. Windows is just fine for development. Visual Studio is widely considered one of the best IDEs out there today. Personally, I use Linux for my work on Linux, what IDE varies depending on my work. JetBrains, VSC

Do any of these come close to Genera? That is an amazing system, that even now, could probably hang with the best of them. :/

While I don't have the Cat and Girl zines. I've spent years convincing companies to open up what source code they can, or working for open source companies. I get it, though I had the day GitHub CoPilot came out and I wanted them

Oh man can that be taken out of context... and still probably be right.

There's an old Bob Seger song I quote about work: "I used her, she used me and neither one cared. We were getting our share." - Night Moves / Seger. In a sense, that's how I view work. I'm there to get a chec

95% will be good enough if it offers extra features that people want. Linux did not have full compatibility before it took off. And I don't think the bar is THAT much higher today for a new competitor, where I can swap the kernel in.
171.
by ilc 3y ago
Because there is much more to the linux kernel than maintenance. Look at things like ebpf and uring for examples of meeting real needs with new development in the kernel. I doubt that a LLM will be able to come up with the ideas, and implem

Clearcase is 100% to blame here. It made assumptions and the world changed. And when it changed... Clearcase did not degrade gracefully. It was a full on collapse.

It is an old joke, it has been told about Presidents, and various other figures. Thinking long term is not something that is rewarded next quarter, in general. This is a large part of why I've worked over half my career for non-public

Indeed. You just found the difference between Open Source (MIT/BSD and friends) and Free Software (GPL without copyright assignment.). It ain't about money ;)

I've got one worse. For those who know Clearcase, and winking in. Well, there was a team that had a 2 hour java build and they were suffering. Nothing was working right. One could argue that using Clearcase and Clearmake was the erro

The same reason why I read books from good authors. The curation of an experience is undervalued by many. Just like coding isn't about mechanics. It is about understanding requirements and coming up with solutions that meet needs

How would this handle games with random or incomplete information? Such as UNO, craps, etc. (I'd love to see what this thing does with a known losing game, just as a validation.)
