Can any of them do TSN?

Personally, no, haven't seen it in professional settings. Colleagues using AI heavily did not show any superhuman development speed, but definitely increased review burden compared to writing code by hand.

Neither needs a lot of innovation, just some maintenance. How many developers do you think Telegram has?

Apple makes cutting edge hardware, at least two operating systems and lots of user applications. Google makes search, cloud, a decent office suite with the largest mail server in the world and of course cutting edge AI. It's easy to se

I'd argue Twitter not breaking down after layoffs is good for the industry. It means you can roughly see investment in software as capex - once it's built, it's built. You still need engineers to innovate though, but industry

Meta, as an organization, is not designed to produce anything useful. If someone at Meta thinks they could organize a programmer collective that would make its members good (or any) money, they can just walk out and do that. Computers are c

Not going to argue about what will or will not happen (predictions are hard, especially about the future), but you absolutely don't need AI to explain layoffs at Meta. On one hand they have a failed investment in Metaverse and an under

Yeah, that's the thing. You need the whole business to turn code into money, and you need this business to be run well, and either do what people with big money want it to do or to make lots of people with small money pay for its produ

What would they do with this self-determination? It's not that Meta is producing something useful you know.

Every programmer owns the means of code production (unless they forgot how to code without Claude). Turns out it's not necessarily enough to make money.

Remember Louis CK talking about Wi-Fi on an airplane? People are dealing with highly experimental technology here

Not sure how GDPR could help. They can make generating data for their model your actual job as per contract I guess.

It's a valid critique though. We sacrificed a lot of memory and perception capacity to literacy.

Conversely, most Europeans praising the USA have mostly been to California or New York, and rarely to Ohio or Alabama

History is just full of emotional contradictions I guess. French and Russian revolutions were terrible bloodbaths, smaller violent movements like Luddite one caused deaths and achieved nothing - it would be stupid to approve any of these. B

How is one supposed to ensure license compliance while using LLMs which do not (and cannot) attribute sources having contributed to a specific response?

How many millions were raised to build Git?

You should either implement over-the-air updates or not connect your device to the network at all.

E.g. in Germany many pedestrians, especially tourists, tend to think that bycicle lanes are fancily-painted sidewalks

That's just in line with their ethics. They also maintain that countries other than the US should not have SOTA AI capabilities.

Well, to be honest, those old enough remember when cryptography was considered someting for the military and special services, and considering using encryption would put you under immediate suspicion. Now we can at least argue we need it to

> surprisingly non-boomer departments, like the Sovereign Tech Fund The one that has just invested in Scala? In year 2026? There are many good things about Germany, but competence in tech is not one of them.

That's right. They also create jobs for police though, and now German police is doing theirs

Running a ransomware gang is immoral. Catching someone running a ransomware gang is good. If publishing their name helps catch them, it's also good. Not sure where do you see the gap between legality and morality in this case

Because Switzerland is a tiny country that holds wealth extracted from whole wolrd's economies and that's just not replicatable even by the US?

Oh dear, web 3.0, blockchain. Do we get our sovereign monkey NFT too?

What's wrong with verifiable credentials? It's an important thing to have it seems? Your passport or a bank card are verifiable credentials, or at least are designed to be.

What do you mean "shifting to smartphone"? It's not a natural process - it's a technical decision to shift them to the smartphone, and a really bad one. We already have smart cards, they work and do not depend on any cor

None yet, will try to remember not to clear cookies :) Sometimes games that don't maintain user accounts let you save progress in a file and restore it later, so that it survives loss of browser state, see e.g. https://micro
