Something incredibly weird is going on in the "AI space", everyone seems to believe that they need their own browser and IDE. All of them are just forks of each other, so why aren't they extensions or plugins? I can't re

Many also put their personal stuff behind CloudFlare because it's a good way to learn a tool that they might need professionally later. I'm all for decentralizing and I don't feel the need for CloudFlare personally, but yes,

It's a little surprising how little it affect me. I believe it's around 20% of websites that use CloudFlare in some form or another.

That industry group would need to include the big cloud providers, and they also doesn't want to shut of abusive traffic.

While it would allow us to be more specific with the IPs, it would entail blocking 500.000 IPs, or more. That quickly becomes unmanageable as well. What I'd love to see is a service where websites could report abuse to ISPs, who would

Yeah, you're sort of swapping in one issue for another. I agree that micro dependencies needs to be tackled, but perhaps not using LLMs. I could fear that rather than keep pushing for a Javascript standard library, which would encompas

Chatbot in many environment simply doesn't work, because we won't let them and if we did, they'd be agents. Here I'm mostly thinking in terms of things like customer service chats. A chatbot that can't reach into ot

If you know that you don't have customers or users in the area, or very few, then go for it. I worked in e-commerce previously, we reduce fraud to almost zero by banning non-local cards. It affected a few customers that had internation

I'm very aware of that, yes. There needs to be a good process, the current situation where AWS simply does not care, or doesn't know also isn't particularly good. One solution could be for victims to notify AWS that a number

The big cloud provides needs to step up and take responsibility. I understand that it can't be to easy to do, but we really do need a way to contact e.g. AWS and tell them to shut of a costumer. I have no problem with someone scraping

Sadly we're now seeing services that sell proxy services that allows you to scape from a wide variety of residential IPs, some even goes so far as to labels their IPs as "ethically sources".

If you only care about regular users I'd advice banning all known datacenters, Browserbase, China and Brazil.

If I'm doing the research and needs to correct the AI, if faster for just write the code myself. My experience is also that even if I can point to where the errors are, and explain the actual API, I frequently still get the same, broke

I'm deeply fascinated that people can make this work at all. Just yesterday I had a fight with an AI regarding some Python code, the stupid thing wouldn't admit it didn't know how to use something and just kept spitting out t

That is actually very impressive :-) We have a small team to just handle the databases, but that's ~200 MariaDB and Oracle instances, and another to do networking. How many different applications/services are you running? In any c

You can manage and reason about ~2000+ servers without Kubernetes, even with a relatively small team, say about 100 - 150, depending on what kind of business you're in. I'd recommend either Puppet, Ansible (with AWX) and/or U

It would be interesting in knowing how many feel like I do. Running an application in a browser window or tab is measure of last resort. People already have tens of tabs, if not hundreds, and multiple browser windows open, stuffing an appli

I always bump the 24H button on the F-91W, I'm not entirely sure why Casio felt like you should be able to switch between 12h and 24h at the push of a button. My assumption is that most people stick to either of the two formats, jumpin

I was going to suggest the same, just use WinForms. It's basically feature complete, and it's going to be the last UI framework Microsoft is going to yank out from beneath you.

The F-91W is such a fun watch. Super functional, you're not scared of damaging it, because A) You can't and B) it's like $25. The backlight is my absolute favorit feature. It's completely pointless. It can barely light u

Not alone no, it's part of a plan: https://www.who.int/initiatives/cervical-cancer-elimination-... It just doesn't really work without the vaccine.

I don't know, but note that eliminated in this context means less than four cases per 100.000 women ( https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/livmoderhalskraeft-kan-vae... ).

How can people be so incredibly blind to the effectiveness of vaccines? Denmark is expecting to have cervical cancer eliminated in the next 10 - 15 year, because of the HPV vaccine, and some countries in the Western world now struggles with
