But the compiler doesn't "roll the dice" when making those guesses! Compile the same code with the same compiler and you get the same result repeatedly.

Is there any compiler that "rolls the dice" when it comes to optimizations? Like, if you compile the exact same code with the exact same compiler multiple times you'll get different assembly? And th Alan Kay quote is great b

Gas town and the like all basically sound to me like, "AI is amazing! Ok, actually it isn't very good, but maybe we can just use more AI with our AI and then it'll be good!" And I'm not surprised at all to learn th

Replacing human computers with electronic computers is nothing like what LLMs do or how they work. The electronic computer is straight up automation. Same input in gives you the same input out every time. Electronic computers are actuall

This is amazing! Thank you for confirming what I've been suspecting for a while now. People that actually know very little about software development now believe they don't need to know anything about it, and they are commenting

Compiling high level languages to assembly is a deterministic procedure. You write a program using a small well defined language (relative to natural language every programming language is tiny and extremely well defined). The same input

Still using Google assistant after trying Gemini on my pixel about 6 months ago. It was not an assistant replacement, it couldn't even perform basic operations on my phone, it would just say something like, "I'm sorry, I&#x2

I have never heard that term (for disks). Are you possibly from the UK or Australia?

This is so good. You can tell that Andy Serkis based his gollum voice off of this.

Oh my gosh, everything you want to host comes with a docker compose file that requires you to tweak maybe two settings. Caddy as your web proxy has the absolute simplest setup possible. You don't need AI to help you with this. You g

I too am dumfounded by this. Is it an off day? Have all the people that actually know how to do things with computers gone somewhere else? What is going on here?

Long-term is easy, and what you describe you are doing sounds fine. The hardest part is when you forget it's for long-term and worry about short-term events like recessions and bubbles. Don't let those short term things shake yo

"Hey Bob, what network is that machine on?" "Easy,2a06:a003:1234:5678" "2806:8003: and then what, I forgot the rest?"

Sure most people don't care, just the ones who have to figure out why it's not working, and man does it suck for them.

So well said! Those are great comparisons.

"Just put Cloudflare in front of it" Why do I have to get some third party involved?? Listen, you can be assured that the geek in me wants to master IPv6 and run it on my home network and feel clever because I figured it out, but

Long term or short term investment? One time lump sum investment or investing a little each paycheck? What's your risk tolerance? The answers to those questions are needed to answer your overall question well

Lol! IPv4 uses zero multicast (I know, I know, technically there's multicast, but we all just understand broadcast). The parts of an IPv4 address and their meaning have almost no correlation to the parts of an IPv6 address and their m

I didn't say it was different 'when looking at layer 3 and above". I said it's different from IPv4. At the IP layer.

"Details on how you get an IP and what it looks like changed but..." This is exactly what I'm talking about. When you have problems with your IP network, that's the first thing you try and figure out, "what's m

We got an Atari computer when I was 5. I was allowed to play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong for as long as I wanted. Turns out, those games were not designed by the same people who make slot machines, and they got frustrating pretty quickly and

Tons of people throw this argument out on social media. "You keep using assembly while I go up an abstraction layer by using AI." I can only assume people saying that don't even know what assembly is. Actually, as I typed th

The majority of traffic might be IPv6, but the majority of people using and understanding IPv6 is not.

Yes, they are easier to type, and to remember, and it turns out, that's actually a big deal! When you are troubleshooting network problems, it's really nice to take everything but simple raw addresses out of the picture. It&#x27

It's a big privacy problem too. Basing your IP address on your Mac address doesn't help in that regard either. Times have changed a lot since IPv6 was invented.

"Stripped of all the other baggage that came with it..." But that baggage is a huge part of the problem. Almost nothing you know about IPv4 applies when you switch to IPv6, and most of us found that out the hard way when we tried
