There's no chance LLMs will be an engineering team replacement. The hallucination problem is unsolvable and catastrophic in some edge cases. Any company using such a team would be uninsurable and sued into oblivion.

I'm a coder, potter, and (sometimes) writer. This post is content-free, insight-free nonsense. You can find parallels between any two things if you strain hard enough, but just listing them doesn't necessarily convey any new ideas

No. First of all, AI companies make money per token, not per user. The unlimited plans are all dead or dying. Second, they can increase prices if they're really killing jobs. The price for a model that can kill 1 job is much lower than

Things like flexbox have made CSS indescribably better and easier to use than it used to be. It's still bad, but degrees matter a lot. As a fullstack dev, I couldn't do pixel-perfect CSS 10 years ago, and today I can. That'

MacOS is a buggy mess, and it's also pretty slow lately. If you need full Office for work, your best bet is probably still Windows.

I think the Rust part of the headline is incidental in this case. The previous version that used more resources was also written in Rust.

It's impossible to answer this because of confirmation bias. I only know when I'm reading AI text when it's bad or has that AI feel to it. If it's well-written, I'll never know that and assume all AI text is bad.

That's not the scenario being described here. The registrar would handle all of that and release the domain if it weren't paid.

DNS is generally prepaid. You can't sabotage services because you aren't being paid. For example, a landlord can't disable someone's prepaid internet when he stops receiving their rent. The remedy for failure to pay is t

There's a known causal relationship between mouth bacteria and heart disease. It's thought that mouth bacteria cause systemic inflammation, which leads to the damage that causes heart disease. We'll likely find it also contri

This is illegal in most places unless the contract says otherwise. You don't have a lien on a website or domain the way you do for a car.

I'm sympathetic to this idea but Larry Ellison will likely be dead in under 10 years and David Ellison has only ever been a Democrat. It seems more plausible that David Ellison will bend in whatever direction the wind is blowing.

If you're correct, you're essentially making the argument that no one should talk about car accidents because heart disease kills far more people. If you think climate change is a hoax, make that argument. If you think we should s

No, because culture seems to change more slowly now. Even in 1995, the 80s looked like a different planet. The fashions, cars, and even houses looked different. The differences between 2003 and 2013, or between 2013 and 2023, are much less

I don't mind Mozilla trying to make use of AI, but I'm also glad we have actual competition still. In many other areas, there are zero "no AI" options at all.
