Hybrids makes no sense, but to the smallest of customer segments. They need to carry two engines, batteries and a gas tank, that makes them pretty bad at being both an EV and a ICE vehicle. They are to heavy, have to little battery capacity

Remove the name from the font and I'm fairly certain that I'd get none of them, well maybe HP. E.g. the Klarna Headline is pretty distinct, but I've never seen it before. The four other Klarna fonts are super generic. Also wh

Maybe that's the same problem as translating CEO memos to English. A large body of text, with no content, or at least very little. So far I've been hesitant to put memos from our CEO into an LLM for a summary, I fear that it will

Amazon doesn't have any warehouses within the country, Germany is the nearest, so everything takes a week or more to arrive.

There's no real point to Amazon anymore. They generally aren't cheaper, especially once you factor in shipping, the entire site is a mess, you risk getting scammed and you can't really find what you're looking for anyway

Not sure how feasible this is for new publications, but yes, absolutely buy second hand. I have a fairly large stack of yet to be read books gifted to me by people cleaning up book shelves, as well as large number of books from second hands

Labeling and filtering. It's much the same for various app stores. Just let me filter for "In-app purchase", if you have that, I'm not interested anyway.

You need both. LLMs can, I think, do the bulk of removing posts that break community guidelines, but you need moderators to define and adjust the guidelines. Most would also like to have a human to escalate a dispute to. Google is famous fo

It's only recently some have come to terms with the fact that DNA evidence sometimes returns false positives. Society, and law enforcement, assumed that DNA was infallible. No one apparently wondered millions of people could be reduced

LLMs aren't the fastest thing in the world, how much data can you realistically parse per second?

Yeah I was disappointed by that too.

My bank decided that the online banking website needed to be more like the app, so now they are both terrible. Basically the entire site is white space on the computer, because everything is centred and dumb down. Input fields for numbers a

Maybe not under the current administration, but that's the kind of risk that could kill your company, if you got caught. It might be why I'm not rich, but that seems like a massively irresponsible risk to take.

What kind of job would you realistically take this data to? What company would even so much as look at data procured in this manor. I can think of one that's evil enough and probably have the protection of the US government, but it&#x2

Not really, given that the work we do in that direction isn't exactly public. You can recreate the scenario though. Spin up a wiki of some sort, scrapers love wikis, ideally enable some form of caching, and just sit back and watch scra

You don't really get a lot of options anymore. When people around don't really care and just buy this junk because it's cheap, and they "need" a new TV ever three to four years, for some reason, then you get priced

It seems like a pretty tall order, but I really want an open source access point controller daemon that knows how to provision and manage a wide variety of APs from different manufacturers. So you'd have one services that can provision

Every now and then I need to go to the recycling station here in Denmark. They have a special container/dumpster just for books. The second hand shops will take a small quantum of books, stores the buy and resell old DVDs, games, recor

Maybe I'm reading the graph wrong, but the decrease comes after years on continuous growth, so total employment numbers in tech should still be absolutely massive, compared to 18 years ago? If it continues, then yes it could be bad, bu

In a previous job we used Terraform pretty heavily. I never got good at it, because it felt confusing, dangerous, and unnecessarily complicated for our use. More than once we saw that Terraform wanted to delete critical, stateful resources.

I don't recall which product it was, it may have been Microsoft, that needed to sanitizes their code before releasing it. There where a lot of not so nice comments about other companies and oh so much swearing. Not really the type of l

Denmark is having a parliamentary election in 18 days, and other than one of the left wing parties, it seems like no one gives a shit about environmental issues right now. Even the debate about clean drinking water is a bit one sided, where

Unless it's true that they lost it, I really see no reason why HPE doesn't just release the official IRIX source code. It cannot be worth much at this point. Maybe there's 3rd party code which SGI/HPE licensed? That&#x27

There's also the operational cost of running whatever is churned out. I wouldn't exactly blame that on AIs, but a large contingency of developers optimize for popular tech-stacks and not ease of operations. I don't think that

by mrweasel 8mo ago
It's probably more about your mindset, than about being neurodivergent vs. neurotypical. If you care more about maintainability and operations, there's a whole host of solutions you'd never built.

I have one of those, it's perfectly fine for everything I do. 8GB of RAM isn't a lot, but I've never run into issues with it not being enough. The M1 and A18 seems rather similar, but I might be concerned that the integrated

We failed a bid for a project because of simplicity. We were to migrate a service running on an on-prem Kubernetes installation and a three, or five, node Apache Cassandra cluster to Azure. The service saw maybe a few hundred transaction p
