If I had to guess, probably Web-style. LLMs are actually useful, people are willing to pay for access to them, and they do genuinely enable things that were unrealistic or impossible before. The advances in image, video, and sound models si

Granted I skimmed the video and checked the slides, but as far as I can tell the presentation doesn't mention Perforce once? If you're marketing a new version control system for game development, then you really need to be talking

I'm going to assume that you're not being intentionally obtuse, so I'll clarify what people are saying. Germany didn't and still does not have meaningful immigration enforcement. For fairly understandable reasons, German

Yeah, those are different people than the ones who arrived en masse during the "refugees welcome" phase. The healthcare workers are overwhelmingly people who migrated legally through the proper channels.

If you think US foreign policy decisions are, or ever have been, made primarily on the basis of preventing the suffering of civilians in other countries then I have an Aerospace & Defense Sector ETF to sell you. Snark aside, the real an

I mean the PS3 was launched in 2006. The fact that the PS store has still been supported on the console for this long is kind of incredible.

Learning Latin vocabulary is pretty useful. Latin grammar, not so much.

Is relying on a 65 year old programming language much worse than relying on a 54 year old one? In the case of COBOL vs C, maybe, but not for reasons of age.

It would be cool technology today if we lived in a system that prioritized human dignity and general welfare over the desire of a handful of people getting obscenely wealthy.

Highly dynamic languages existed for decades prior to 1995, Python was not particularly innovative in its features at the time. There were also countless languages more feature-rich than C being used for development at the time. The biggest

Modern Germany will collapse in the face of any war that would justify conscription, so it's all a moot point anyway. The country is already in a slow burning crisis due to the political and economic results of its demography, and a wa

The philosophical justifications sound nice and all. The thing is that when you have a huge non-citizen percentage of the population that is actively drawing taxpayer money out of the state to the point where the social welfare system is be

It would be equality if there were a law forcing women to have children during a war. Which is insane and no one would support it. But young men maybe dying after being forced to fight against their will? Completely fine. It's honestly

I pretty much declared streaming show bankruptcy after sitting through Severance season 2 last year. I know a lot of people liked it and maybe I'm just cynical, but to me it seems like every "serious" streaming show eventuall

RIP Tracy. I was late to the party and only read “The Soul of a New Machine” in 2024. It's a great book I think anyone involved in engineering of any kind should give it a read. It's an especially impressive feat of writing given

It's frankly not that crazy of a salary for an important executive position. The city manager of a small city in Texas gets paid around that much and that's taxpayer money. Now what collegiate football coaches are paid, that'

There are already several frozen versions of C++ and there are projects that stick to compiling using an older standard. This is a fairly normal practice and is supported by the major compilers. I don't see why C++ should stop seeing d
