right, but in that scenario I'd assume you'd also want to take a look at your ostensibly unrelated tools

If we want to do away with the godly rights of property owners and let people keep whatever they can take and defend, I am deeply in support of this plan, but I can't imagine it shakes out how the squatters like to think it would. We&#

does the stated purpose of the tool influence whether or not you can trust it?

definitely overhyped, but not useless. Consider one of your examples, Elastic. It's often employed in situations where the db could handle what it's doing just fine, but it survives, Largely because of optimizations it is free to

I actually wish this were true because of more predictable gc pauses

I think you’re safe assuming a disruptive player will eventually discover why what they disrupted was such a pain in the ass in the first place

I actually think the revocation argument is the over-engineering case here. I'd argue that people who need to avoid hitting their database on every request outnumber people who need sub-minute revocation

We don't use JWTs because we think we're google scale, we use them because they're kinda cool. Cheap, stateless auth across services is really handy. If I rolled my own solution, it would just look like a shitty jwt. There ar

Yeah, I just think it should make use of the nonverbal channel we use to communicate, otherwise we get frustrated at the inefficiency

I don't really care either way, but one thing that seems odd to me is how unlikable people seem to find the other voices (myself included) If this were the massive creative effort they make it out to be, it seems like they'd have

Good. This is a part of the stack I want to be boring. I don't need innovative features. It's the actual federal hate crime that are the egress costs I could do without.

Completely agree. I am shocked that this isn't apparent to everyone. I am frustrated at the pure-hype tone this week took on. There are otherwise intelligent people with strong beliefs that OpenAI "has AGI". It's _ludicr

I agree that this will happen (I said in another post), but I can't for the life of me attach it to one of the points I made

I think it's less that only 4 wizards on earth can create it, and more that hardly anyone wants to. If Apple, Google, or MS are integrating LLMs, they can't get away with "you can talk to this website". The intersection

First, "objectively beat" doesn't matter. Comparative LLM performance means more or less nothing without application. Let's say Google's LLM has slightly poorer reasoning, and you have to be really clear when you te

I think the point is not "chatGPT isn't good", it's that no one is beating physics, you can rough out the coefficients on a napkin, and they're playing chicken with who wants to set more piles of money on fire. It _

I think what is probably very stressful about this space is virtually everyone knows how ChatGPT works. It is not a theoretical leap. It's actually fairly predictable how this shakes out, and OpenAI is pretty vulnerable. an LLM is a cu

So, China aggressively threatens everyone who recognizes Taiwan for decades, and the resultant lack of recognition for Taiwan is used to delegitimize attempts to defend them?

The people who care are the people who upvoted it so it'd make the top 20. I think usually when someone spots a conflict like this, it's an inconsistency in their idea of the community rather than in the community.

It wouldn't be a federal security document if it didn't avoid the intractable core problems in exchange for deep obsession with the details

you're never going to believe this, but the other side feels the same way

I find the Python community Stockholm syndrome over dependency management kind of charming, it feels like one of the old internet holy wars. It's absolutely nuts that you'd repeatedly meet the same criticism, independently arrived

it's actually because layout-via-code for arbitrary documents is a humblingly complex problem, so leveraging existing layout engines is preferred. This impressive effort looks far better than what I'd achieve, but when this approa

Of course it’s line. How could it be the end of the string when the matter at hand is defining the string?

you can't operate at any scale at all without mechanisms in place to know perfectly well whether an issue is impacting a single customer or if your world is on fire

Yeah, I meant that to be the implication of the sentence, at some point folks take their ball and go home, and we have to see weeks of trending hashtags about the injustice done to Europe

(I honestly wish I could so clearly order my thoughts in writing like you have done here) That it is mutually beneficial is sort of my point. If every developer jumped ship, iOS would be in trouble. But they won't. They absolutely will
