I swear at the junior programmers less. To be fair the guys I get are pretty good and actually learn. The model doesn't. I have to have the same arguments over and over again with the model. Then I have to retain what arguments I had l

Well that's the hard bit I really want help with because it takes time. I can do the rest myself because I'm not a dribbling moron.

Yep. My usual sort of conversation with an LLM is MUCH worse than a junior developer... Write me a parser in R for nginx logs for kubernetes that loads a log file into a tibble. Fucks sake not normal nginx logs. nginx-ingress. Use tidyverse

No idea. It’s their out of box microservices set up. I think the only thing we pumped up was the chunks cache to 30Gb.

Not much I agree with in this article. Seems to be based on little operational experience with the product, particular indicated by a couple of major mistakes and assumptions in the article (compacting does happen, didn't read the manu

Kibana + ElasticSearch was a mess for us. Was glad to get rid of it. Cost a fortune to run and was time consuming. Loki conversely doesn’t even show up on our costs report (other than the S3 bucket) and requires very little if any maintenan

I imagine an Alexa customer would have a net loss financially from the model execution costs if they just sent garbage all day. Doesn’t even need to be clever.

Spend more time and money? Nope. It's on CloudFront + S3 at the moment.

I just shut my entire web site down after 27 years this year. All traffic was AI crawlers. Fuck it!

Times come and go. Never give any data to anyone based on their current policy, because as demonstrated here, it may change. And then you're fucked.

It won't because I never invited one into my home because why the bloody hell would I want a listening device in my house in the first place?

So what you're saying is we need to blast some barges into space and land them on the moon so we have a flat surface for starship to land on?

The government or other parties will come and take your data wherever you are without a moment's notice. There is no defence against that. The objective should be to make that as hard as possible by not putting it somewhere you make it

I’ve taken to just carrying a book with me and reading it instead.

I travel a lot in the EU and the Internet is a total shambles. Blocked stuff everywhere. Right down to VPNs not even working.

Yes the office door stop as it was known as at our place. Top book though just faded in utility and no one had the heart to dispose of it because of the good memories.

I have to agree here. I do a lot of written work and thinking still. If I put my “lowest common denominator user” hat on, the iPad seemed like an obvious choice to throw all this at as it has a reasonable “paper” implementation. Cue buying

None of those things feature in any problem I deal with on a daily basis, whatever language I use. So for example today I dealt with a synchronization issue. This turned out to not be a code bug but a human misunderstanding of a protocol sp

I suspect you probably don't understand it after that. You think you do. I thought I understood calculus until I realised I didn't. And that took a bit thwack in the face really. I could use it but I didn't understand it.

Most bugs are way above that level of abstraction and thought.

by ohgr 2y ago
I’d add that the Rust code and C code will probably have the same number of bugs. The C code will likely have some vulnerabilities on top of those. Rust doesn’t magically make the vast majority of bugs go away. Most of bugs are entirely por

The best way to improve this is to just generate decent useful and actionable logs. Sifting through a trash heap is where the problem is. No magic will suddenly turn that trash into gold. You have to do this at the inception of the software
