[...] people think they must only have one.

That's the real failure? I think the real failure is that people must have _more than one_. I thought so hard to add all my credentials to 1Password. Now people tell me I should use a Yubikey (or better two or three of them). What do you think, I'm going to register a couple of hundred accounts times three for something I already have (my password manager)?

The real advante in passkeys is in allowing me to log in into a service on a foreign device without typing [my password], which is (honestly) something now sane person should ever do.

Is it? I can't find an official source that supports that claim. Also, Yandex disinvested from Russia and split the non-Russian business into a different company. So is it Yandex or "Yandex (copy)"?

I'm not trying to defend / take a position. I just find it difficult to reason without having an official (up-to-date) source.

Tell that to Volvo. They even state on their feedback form that they don't respond to feedbacks, which IMHO is a polite way of saying that they don't read the feedback but still need a form, because no form would be bad publicity.

Two bads doesn't give you one good.

If it wasn't worth your time writing, it isn't worth my time reading.

I think not everything that makes (purely) financially sense does make economically sense. There's much more to it that just money (e.g. where do you get the uran from for the next 30 years?).

side-projects

Just be careful about any legal implication of doing side-projects during work with work-resources.

Partially, you could still deploy the AI in an isolated envirnoment. If there's nothing to access, there's no prompt injection.

But who will have thought about something not being a SaaS but rather on-premises...

Once Garry’s agent observed the usage data of his site, it would have corrected all these mistakes without Gregorein writing the thread.

That struck me most and that's why we (software developers) are never going to be engineer.

Consider a doctor just trying ang going along if the patient survives. A brige constructor doing something and after each car that passes fixing problems. A car manufacturer trying new brakes in production without testing. A builder starting to build a house and fix it while people already live there. The list could go on.

It's sad to see a profession on such a decline. I use AI myself, but please please keep doing something _professionally_ or stop doing it as your profession.

Dpending on where you live, it light be easier to just get your eggs from a local farmer instead.

Not OP, but I think it's not about producing value now, but how much it will cost in the long term. If you have unmaintaable code that is N times larger than a hand-written codebase, what is the cost to be?

Ehm, isn't that going to System Settings -> Spotlight -> Privacy options and adding the folder(s) there?

I would say people that hink the LLM is doing a better job than they are in for a treat. I did expect the resulta to be of the same quality as if a human does the job - it averages out and has a big error margin.

Proliant G12 was introduced end of 2024, and based on their previous lifecycle I guess they will at least last 3-5 years before a new line comes.

Just as happened with the horse, with the car, with the steam machine, with the industrialization in general, ... oh wait, we still have to work 8-10 hours 5 days a week, times two, to make enough for a living.

So when exactly is this productivity going to hit that doubles my income?

It's not a shall/must, but it is a "I think I need to, because this is going to be unmaintanable 3 months from now".

And even then, some products think they should be satire, when looking at their pricing.

Yep, there are no arrays in JS. There are just objects, that behave like arrays.

the most amount of code generated by agents

Yes, I wholehartly agree. Coming from a week of agent-coding - out of pure curiosity - most code was generated by agents, which I had then to delete and rewrite to use like a quarter of statements to achieve the same, in an understandable, maintainable way.

But that's just my experience.

One of the features I personally do not like. That was/is one of the nicest things on iOS IMHO - set volume more silent and it means more silent, not "only in these 3 out of 27 cases".

Some models do have physical switches on the back witj which you can enable / disable this behaviour.

One of the many cases where physical buttons/switches are superior to software-only options.

No, they don't force it down your throat. You can click "no" once in a while and it looks like it does not exist. Try that with Copilot.

It turns out that allowing senders to omit dots is common but by no means universal!

I think this is mostly common with Gmail-heavy countries and does not apply to Europe? At least I do not know of anyone that thinks so.

And as a consumer, I am somewhat happy that a company says "well, then not" if it cannot comply with the law.

If the law makes sense, that I cannot judge in this case.

Wasn't there a study whose result was that people are not actually running faster but the better results are mostly attributed to changing/improving grounds and better shoes?

Edit: Can't find the study anymore. This one [1] at least partially attributes to material.

I rreally dislike how big corp figured out that the can sell stuff to each other without actually moving some good. Looking at you, Nvidia... I have a feeling that the ordinary people will again pay for that.

If Elon said that, it's probably more like 4% now, 12% in 5 years, then a chicken-out because whatever and never 100%.

Did I miss something or does the article skip from explaining that it is Sirius, a ToDo-app, to a disguised banking app without any further clarification or reasoning?

Actually cannot confirm. I'm once or twice outside of the Zurich datacenters and I really did not ever realize the sound outside.
