I'll just say the quiet part out loud: A pile of shell scripts that no one else understands is job security. If your work is easily googleable/parseable by an AI, why would anyone pay you?

When it comes to the practical results it doesn't matter. Japan is a society that values rubber stamps over actual competency/performance. If you can present an N1 certificate to an employer you're more likely to be hired tha

Where are the examples of a system that had insufficient static guarantees that was made any better by an LLM judge?

So it's true that AI-generated websites will follow similar style patterns given their training set and what the "modern" internet has converged on to be "optimal". But one could also argue based on the examples sho

I do wonder how much of this can be attributed to many people leaving biotech for better paying jobs in the AI gold rush (a.k.a packing it up and moving to SF). More housing is always a good thing though

If you're working in a mission-critical field like healthcare, defense, etc. you need a way to make static and verifiable guarantees that you can't leak patient data, fighter jet details etc. through your software. This is eit

I mean, if you're at the point where your machine is compromised by a process with full network access little snitch won't help much either.

To clarify, I'm aware that pihole is not intended to run on a client OS, and doesn't monitor at a process level. I'm focused on the intended effect rather than the process itself (blocking malicious/ad servers). And I th

Everyone who sat out the 2016 and 2024 elections is responsible for this clown getting into office. *Democracy is not a spectator sport*. You don't get to complain about corrupt politicians and then go on to make excuses about why you

What exactly do you think the argument is? The issues have everything to do with npm as a platform and nothing with JS as a language. You can use JS without npm. Saying you'll escape supply chain attacks by not using JS is like saying

The semantics are irrelevant. The effect is what's important: Hijacking widely used software to exploit systems. The OC is somehow under the illusion that avoiding JS altogether is a silver bullet for avoiding this. Forest > Trees
