Unfortunately, an aircraft has no “reboot”. It is just a violent power cut. A lot of headache is introduced in non-critical aircraft software because there is no “graceful shutdown” or long power duration. Infact, certain hardware has an up

Very strange, because for me, an aircraft(medium) is never alive for more than 24h. A big one like 787 may be alive for up to 72h(assuming longer routes). 50 days for me would be a dream and a lot less headache but it is very expensive to k

I had entirely opposite experience. At 10, I was hanging around irc where folks made various adult jokes but were very friendly and helpful. Getting mod was a dream! Also, I learned most of my shell-fu from irc. I also spent some time roami

With the AI progress, we will probably finally see a slowing down of the “js framework of the month” and other rapidly changing things. To a bunch of very junior devs using LLMs to generate code and build something, speed is now main factor

In your case, you ask but then verify. Most people(i.e. IRL people outside tech circle) just want to get things done and believe anything, which is why the “Best top 5/10/20 Y in 20xx” articles work or the top advert gets many hit

I read(or watched?) somewhere that, to build your social media reputation and popularity(i.e. follower count) organically, you must post daily, something, anything. An interesting idea would be to automate a cronjob to ask LLM to generate a

I find LLMs to be much more friendly for very focused topics and mostly accurate. Anything generated, I can go ahead and check with corresponding source-code or official documentation. In theory, I save immense amount of time daily talking

It is all in the "what do I get in return right now?" concept. Reduce pollution is a promise to give back a safer Earth, save climate, make life less painful in future etc. which are all far away and the current generation in powe

It is not really possible to tax the rich. If someone is in top 5% or higher in the society, they have numerous wealth to afford various loopholes for tax avoidance. Everytime I see a discussion of taxing the rich, we have some weird pseudo

Erm.. no. Kubernetes is OSS, yet very many serious people still pay good money to use hosted and managed K8s anyways because the overhead is too high. Same goes for local models, no one(except hardcore folks) is interested to invest on a be

LLMs show their limits as you try to ask something new(introduced in last 6-12 months) being not used. I was asking Claude and GPT4o about a new feature of go, it just gave me some old stuff from go docs. Then I went to go docs(official) an
