Just like search itself, caching does wonders. What do 90% of the people ask anyway but mundane, totally predictable questions?

Gemini (at least public free version) hallucinates way too much. If it's like that, it can go very badly for Apple.

So they successfully blackmailed you.

By that account an open source project never dies because the code is there for anyone to improve upon. Why does anyone care if one particular repo realization of some useful idea or its maintainers are around or not? It's quite some v

Or they are to blame because fixing 1000 CVE's doesn't magically absolve one of responsibility for regression bugs, even if one "accepts" them as a psychological salve.

It depends on the circumstances. Maintainers can do whatever they want, theoretically. Practically, there is implicit community involvement, otherwise a project dies as people abandon it. Right now it isn't even acknowledged what is ha

Autonomous agents are different. Claude should fork the repo because it is a new maintainer trying to take over a project. Doesn't matter if the OG maintainer is under illusions.

Or they are to blame because they misplaced responsibility in a tool's universality to not introduce regressions, even complex and non-obvious ones.

If the maintainer used any other tool which is suspected to cause a number of recent problems, it'd be discussed. The tone is a problem but the reaction is equally problematic. It isn't even clear the maintainer hasn't been s

Exactly this. The most salient comment basically said that AI use has increased the cadence of commits beyond reliable testing capacity for what was a stable product in equilibrium. It isn't an issue specific complaint so it wouldn&#x2

Did crypto workload ever take over an entire data center?

It's mobile devices not having user-facing files as first-class citizens. The mobile era started just as Dropbox started to solve a computer era problem. Bad timing.

Different I/O, power and cooling requirements for majority GPU workloads?

Is particle physics digestible even if it is explainable? Some things are not simple, cannot be not abstract, and will not be understood by most, or all, people.

That assumes everyone will do so. Some people won't, and it's not clear you need a large number of such, a priesthood if you like, to survive as a species without AI.

People still do grow their own food for self sufficiency. I am sure there will be luddites who live in self-sufficient communes like the Amish.

That's not close to "everything ... any consumer might need". It's a list of useless things, other than 5TB of storage. Granted, cloud storage typically sells for more than this, so they are offering Gemini for something

You assume there will be no takers to replace Gmail, whereas there probably will be hundreds waiting to do it.

Exams have performance variance. Otherwise you're only getting a pass/fall signal in any case.

You forget things can be signed, with the key owned by the school. It can be done.

Not that long ago the workflow was to turn code comments into code. Maybe leave some comments as is now.

Sounds like assemblers bemoaning loss of control to C. The solution was inline assembly...

You can't ask something to check its own work without external reward/penalty. It'll cheat.

Can you not have it write your harness for you, or have it be the first step? You can push your own determinism where you need, surely.

by pishpash 5mo ago
Aren't they just buying time to build you whatever harness you need? They want to be the only software engineering shop in the world.

Or freeze them live into a block of ice.

What are the top alternatives? (And are they doing the same thing?)

You do not interview 1000 rounds on problems you're actually solving. If you did, hiring would be fine. Minus the social fit aspect, which isn't as relevant for a model.

Again, how do you know you've handled it correctly without ground truth? Simulation without ground truth is a garbage in garbage out situation.

That's assuming you don't already have a time-depreciating asset in your possession. Per mile cost is about halved if you drive significantly more than average.
