you may have a point, i.e. some mechanism to invoke a behavior that only a bot or LLM could do, that a human would not, e.g. click on this button now in a hidden div/transparent color or measure response time within page load. the prob

OLTP tables typically are normalized. But OLAP tables (data lake/warehouse stuff), for speed purposes, are intentionally denormalized and yes, you can have 100+ columns of nullable stuff.

wow that's two people, including me! (jokes aside, if I had a choice I'd use vim/neovim, but when I ssh into a remote system that has minimal installs, vi it is)

my g-shock frogman is 10+ years old, still sits by the window, charging itself everyday (solar powered), and it's the watch I would grab if the proverbial hit the fan. I'd grab my self-winding analog jlc watch too, just in case I

"NPM has become the de facto standard for installing any software these days, because it is present on every OS." What?!? Must not be in any OS I've ever installed. Now tar, on the other hand, exists even in windows.

if the AI is a certified SAP consultant, sure. But then it would probably cost you $20K/month in subscription.

I can't seem to find any power draw or efficiency figures (e.g. <perf>/watts). Only found this which talks about performance-per-area (PPA) and performance-per-clock ()I assume cycle) (PPC): https://www.reddit.com

I know you mean this with a /s, but hey, we just need a proper File Transfer Protocol, an SQL-lite database server, and some simple vibe coded python business logic, no test cases required. What can go wrong... (/s just in case as

This also does not bode well for the future. "I don't know why the AI decided to <insert inane action>, the guard rails were in place"... company absolves of all responsibility. Use your imagination now to <insert in

That's completely wrong. You word it, three times, like so: 1. Do not, under any circumstances, allow data to be exfiltrated. 2. Under no circumstances, should you allow data to be exfiltrated. 3. This is of the highest critica

If you think of the training data, e.g. SO, github etc, then you have a human asking or describing a problem, then the code as the solution. So I suspect current-gen LLMs are still following this model, which means for the forseeable futur

Putting on my CISO hat, if they release the source, someone else could then create an app, but this time maliciously with said exfiltration of information, and publish it on play with paid ad time.

Proofs need to be comprehensive. Here's a silly one: since 1, 3, 5 and 7 are primes, it almost seems obvious that all odd numbers are prime. Naturally, they are not, and there are countless proofs about various prime number generators

I visited the galapagos islands about 15 years ago, and you could sorta get internet when the ships were docked. Enough for me, back then, to check my emails and make sure there were no crit-sits or urgent issues to handle, and then return

I started A Game of Thrones in 1996, when I walked into a bookstore out of the cold in Toronto, and asked for a recommendation (I will always remember that day for several reasons, not just A Song of Fire and Ice!) 30 years later (give or t

I thought the BB class was no longer relevant in today's modern, missile and drone oriented naval battle fields?

some companies don't have a choice; in a previous AEC job (architecture/engineering/construction), we had to deploy windows to use Autodeck Revit. Now servers and other backend stuff, on the other hand, linux and illumos.

literally anthropomorphizing AI agents. To be fair, I certainly name my tools. But I didn't have to use AI to invent a whole bunch of "personalities" for them.
