The fact is what people really want from a search engine is a single perfect result that answers their query exactly. An LLM does the 'single result' bit, but it's dubious whether or not it's a perfect answer. Most of th

The cost to produce art has dropped to zero. The cost to produce an image has dropped to pretty much zero, but whether an image is 'art' is a question people have been struggling with for a long, long time. Art is usually cons

Not really. It has more to do with gold is now worth almost 3x what it was 2 years ago. It's not like we've suddenly found new and exciting uses for gold though. The reason the price has gone up is because the demand for it has

That used to be a major selling point because hosts enabled PHP for a directory devs would FTP things into, but those days are thankfully long gone. I don't think it's any more difficult to host a JS, TS, or anything else, app tha

Of course not, but it's very believable that the current administration ignored what the pentagon told them.

If this were viable, why would it not have worked before? Because something wasn't in place to make it work. There are millions of examples where the second mover won, often because the first mover was too early, or the tech wasn&#

If that's the case then the interface will remain a compromise that has to work for both point and touch, and ends up being suboptimal for both. Touch input necessitates bigger hit targets, lots of additional negative space around impo

But also have a regular review of your dependencies to update them when necessary, because as bad as compromised packages may be things do have vulnerabilities occasionally, and upgrading things that are a long way out-of-date can be quite

I grew up in the era of the Amiga and got into computing in some part due to demoes like Technological Death and Unreal. Not sure if 10 years is too new to be considered 'retro', but "Intrinsic Gravity" by Still is my fa

Sounds like a great use of energy and tokens, not overkill at all As much as AI uses a lot of energy, having something that fixes issues in the background is very likely to be a net saving if you consider the number of users who fail to c

Using a LLM to fix a spelling mistake is retardedly lazy. If you do it manually, sure. If you have an agent watching for code changes and automatically opening PRs for small fixes that don't need a human-in-the-loop except for approv

Isn't it odd that you wrote your comment with AI then!? Ha, gotcha, AI slop poster! I know you didn't, but this is where we'll end up if people just write off everything as 'bad because AI' instead of critically ass

That's an entirely valid point of view, and one plenty of people share. Being accountable for other people's mistakes sucks. The only issue with it is that you can only get positive side for work you do directly, which limits the

Yugoslavia broke into several smaller countries following the death of the Yugoslavian dictator, and a huge war ensued. Maintaining the domain records was probably quite a low priority.

Given enough time to reconsider options, people will be endlessly flip-flopping between them grabbing onto various features over and over in a loop. People will default to believing something is AI if there's no downside to that opin

Just on a personal note, tying your personal devices to your work email account is a very silly thing to do. Even if it's your company you could be locked out of your company email account at any time (HR grievance, SEC investigation

I use AI agents to build UI features daily. The thing that kept annoying me: the agent writes code but never sees what it actually looks like in the browser. It can’t tell if the layout is broken or if the console is throwing errors. I gi

Fallback support is a legitimate reason for additional code being in the bundle, but it's not 'bloat' because it's necessary. In an ideal world every website would generate ES5, ES6, and ES2025 bundles and serve the smal

For this to stand up in court you'd need to show that an LLM is distributing "a modified version of the document". If I took a book and cut it up into individual words (or partial words even), and then used some of the words

That assumes that the two have equal 'authority' though. Really one of the two should be the source of truth, and that's usually the spec. That's definitely the one that the should win if there's a difference in m

Code is a specific implementation of a spec. You can even use it as a spec if you're happy to accept exactly what the code does. But the code doesn't tell you what was supposed to be built so the code is not a spec. Simple thoug
