If you gave me the exact same color code 20 times I might give you green 10 times and blue the other 10 because I genuinely can't tell the difference. So it's not a binary like you're claiming.

I mean more like a full git competitor. Gitlab exists but more competition is generally better for the consumer and it looks like Github's lead is starting to falter with all these incidents.

With all the github instability, I wonder if Cloudflare or some other provider is going to look into providing a similar service.

OP's point is that this isn't valid because neither of the answers are correct. If you're really trying to measure a spectrum then the answers should allow for fuzziness. That is, you have a range/confidence interval of

Yeah and to give a more recent example, it's exactly like how RAM, storage, and other computer parts have gotten much cheaper over the last 3 years... oh wait.

This is exactly what makes it dangerous. Food can taste ok but actually cause you to get sick. Not all bacteria is going to taste off. I'm assuming you're not a chef because if you were then you'd know how absurd your stateme

If it's PII data the best thing for them to do is not even allow the AI to have access to it. They're admitting to that so I doubt they've gone through the effort to forward the user's auth token to the downstream databa

I see a lot of researchers working on newer ideas so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a breakthrough in 5-10 years. After all, the gap between AlexNet and Attention is All You Need was only 6 years. And then Scaling Laws was about 3-4

I don't think anyone is talking about it because it's not a very productive conversation to have. I'm not particularly bullish on vibe coding either but if you could explain what exactly about vibe coding causes these specifi

This is super cool but part of me wishes I could skip to the later levels rather than redo college homework from a decade ago. Maybe that ruins the fun but also slogging through the early levels (especially when the UI is a bit rough around

Previously, those were rumors from enthusiasts who wanted to see it. Now it's an internal leak so there's a lot more credibility to those rumors.

Yes and no. I find the restaurant on Google maps but 9/10 times the menu is either outdated or not properly structured and having a link to the menu website is better. So Google maps is the top of the funnel but I still appreciate a we

Interesting website and great presentation. My only note is that the color contrast of some of the text makes it hard to read.

I think this can be fixed more generally by biasing towards newer data in model outputs and putting more weight on authoritative sources rather than treating all data the same. So no one needs to go in and specifically single out Go code bu

Except that as a developer you have access to the original source code where things are well structured. It only turns into div soup after the React/Vue code gets compiled down to HTML+CSS+JS that can run on any browser.

Magnus' longevity has more to do with his willingness to continue competing than his actual skill. He's been pretty vocal about his issues with FIDE so I can see a world where he stops participating in FIDE events to focus on non-
