You can use VMs for sandboxes. Linux main feature is that you are free to do anything you want. Linux does verify signatures for packages from official repos. Linux has features like SELinux and AppArmor. If you want to install a random pac

UI/UX or dev isn't dead. It will be shrinking. Less grunt work. Internal projects can get done with less of either. Nobody really cares about great UX or about how great someone can implement a CRUD app. So there will be less need

I've seen doctors that: 1. Immediately said 'Cancer' to stomach issues on an old person. They just didn't care, another doctor resolved that. 2. Eye doctors that would not investigate anything and just prescribe eye glas

Those low quality lawyers/doctors still won't care enough to help the layperson. So for the layperson, the AI output is still useful. They'll know to search for a different lawyer/doctor. Tool just brings more knowledge

I'm seeing the exact opposite on a large C++ project. I have friends at other companies with similar projects, they say the same thing. It's like we're living in different worlds. Still, LLMs are nice for well defined small p

sometimes you write the feature and write it well so it's reusable. imagine you have to implement a specific algorithm for a quantum computer. There's no value setting up AI to do the writing for you. That might be orders of magni

chernobyl affected a lot more then the exclusion zone, most of eastern europe... cancer rates spiked because of it... and it could have been a lot worse. Effects are long term, hence question if you would live there now?, what would happen

Would you like to live next to Chernobyl? Even with current standards there are a lot of nuclear power plants running just fine.

Solution is to classify review by area, documentation is auto merged, other riskier areas still need human review. This could have been solved easily without an LLM as well...
