It’s absurd that openai managed to spin their cybersecurity failures, where their own security is not good enough to make sure their own product doesn’t go haywire, as a marketing success. When a company uses its products to hack other comp

I’ve had good results with JetBrains AiChat in that really integrates in their IDEs - you can see it using ide tools and i generally found it spends less time thrashing about compared to Claude.

There’s an interesting study to be made on whether there was a reduction in insurance claim rejections in the aftermath, and what the morbidity/mortality impact was.

I have written software that saves files and saves to standard geopackage formats. Microsoft is known to have a lot of inconsistencies between its spec and reality. One important part of adoption open standards formats is that when you have

This is not true. In my company I decided we would not depend on Microsoft products. We use kSuite that offers everything MS does, ~90% cheaper. The one real problem we run into is PowerPoint decks that look different or get corrupted when

Ksuite is literally a google workspace competitor nothing unfocused about that. My company uses them for everything works well.

The idea that science progresses by lone wolf geniuses disrupting the status quo is simply false. It makes a good story for low budget documentaries, but it is basically never true.

Many of the dumb ideas being hyped in this AI bubble make sense viewed through this lens. Data centres stirring up opposition? Sell a sci-fi vision that you will move them to Space! And reassure your over-extended investors that the data ce

The problem in practice is that quickly one merges into the other. You start with a markdown readme, then you have markdown documentation for a small project. But then one day you need full documentation for your project with cross links, t

Sqlite is a great bit of technology but sometimes I read articles like this and think, maybe they should have used postgres. I you don’t specifically need the “one file portability” aspect of sqlite, or its not embedded (in which case you s

As European it really struck me how poor the second hand ev market must be in the US. For the “cheap second hand car to do short distances” we have a lot of options really cheap - older gen Renault Zoe and Peugeot e208s, leafs, even the old

"The future is..." well it might be until the next fashion change comes about.

by mangecoeur 1y ago
This will happen for sure. Designs are fashions that come and go, like jeans that go from skinny to baggy and back again. I don't think anything is absolute, tastes change and people get used to just about anything, and will mainly gri

there is also not that much money in the state run that the majority of people education follow. Teacher salaries are already squeezed. Its ironic, everyone says get a good education, old grumps complain the kids don’t know anything, but wh

They mention validation in software which suggests a hardware implementation is a way off with a lot of practical issues that might crop up on the way. So best of luck to them but i wouldn’t expect to see hit the market for quite a while -

It's surprising how many people seem to be happy to eat these kinds of charges just to avoid having to actually understand the infrastructure they run on. Even AWS can be pretty expensive compared to other hosts, when most of the servi
