Well it's becoming developer hostile enough already. Maybe drop python and all command line tools while they're at it. Would do wonders for that mythical year of the linux desktop...

Google could afford to manually exclude the content farms if they didn't morph from a search company to an advertising company.

Hmm? Why do you restart your computer often enough to notice? Even Windows (or at least my install that doesn't have any crap besides visual studio on it) can run for weeks these days...

Btw, in the wannabe indie gaming scene it doesn't matter what language or tool or framework you use. It matters if you finish the fucking thing.

How much proprietary business logic is on public github repos? I'm not talking about "do me this solo founder saas little thing". I'm talking about working on existing codebases running specialized stuff for a functional

I've noticed this in my small scale tests. Basically the larger the prompt gets (and it includes all the previously generated code because that's what you want to add features to), the more likely is that the LLM will go off the r

Hmm? Where I live you have to renew your license (basically pass a few medical exams) every 10 years since the day you get your first license. Why wait until 70?

The "AI" evangelists are trying to explain to us that all ads are to be trusted because they're "AI" generated now...
914.
by nottorp 9mo ago
They only NOW assume all ads are scams. Suggests they didn't make that assumption before, doesn't it?

by nottorp 9mo ago
Exactly. Why did the article author think ads weren't scams before they were "AI" generated?

Funny enough, the LLMs are allowed to run builds on your local machine. The humans, not any more.

Now I get why they want to reduce certificate validity to 20 minutes. The logs will become so spammy then that the bad guys won't be able to scan all hosts in them any more...

The question is, does the bakery still produce bread, or does it now randomly produce bread, ice cream or frogs?

It's good if you ask me. I never check even the user names when replying, just the comment. The only user name I can remember is dang, because of the occasional moderation or housekeeping posts.

The other problem is the US has two parties: one center right (and i'm being generous with center) and another rabid right. It has been like that since forever. They don't know how a left leaning party looks.
