have you looked at mumble or teamspeak, seems they where the default for a bit before discord. Atleast for gaming.

As far as I know chans are always considered "image boards" and they are usually distinct by the fact that the information is "pushed off" the board after a time or amount posted afterwards.

Maybe this time finally a lot of communities will realize that discord sucks as a Archive, Forum, FAQ or news channel.

I don't care what degenerate stuff you look at as you are free to do so. Privacy is a fundamental right, at that my opinion one of the more important ones, as when the right to privacy is removed the other ones are impossible to keep.

Of course discord has no track record of overextending their privacy policy and selling data you would not expect (sarcasm). For example but not limited to "programs you run and other system specific information". I believe I read

It is entirely plausible that your colleague did have a significant speedup from using AI. But that may also be a one off overstated story (probably not as you respect his judgement as "senior dev"). I'm not saying they didn&

From what I understand it is in part swapping it, in part upgrading it. Some of it is preventative some of it is reactive. They could overbuild the hardware and slowly disable capacity I think that will not really work. Data centers are sta

As others point out this is a bad idea. Asside from the other excellent comments on power consumption, cooling and radiation. One point I didn't see being made in the comments much is maintenance costs. Now I don't find myself in

Very informative write up! Though at the end I was left wondering if it can run more traditional line oriented programs though the usb2ppp interface, something like "ed" (perhaps ex or vi -e) or "edbrowse". I think those

Yes this kind of work will be sped up a lot by AI since you are not familiar with the intricacies of the subject matter. Especially with well documented but complex formats it can assist (vector graphics are not necessarily intuitive). Addi

To wrap this up, what I was trying to say is that the feeling of being faster may not align with the reality. Even for people that have a good understanding of the matter it may be difficult to estimate. So I would say be skeptical of claim

Those are some high profile (celebrity) developers. I wonder if they have measured their results? I believe that the perceived speed up of AI coding is often different from reality. The following paper backs this idea https://arx

I thought you meant a hello world or similar program only handling strings would be fundamentally insecure but rather you mean that it is hard to write secure code with C strings. There are indeed a lot of pitfalls and footguns in C in gene

Can you elaborate on the statement "Anything involving C string handling is fundamentally security hostile"?
