A powertool that needs discretion and good judgement to be used well is being restricted to people with a track record of displaying good judgement. I see nothing wrong here.
AI enables volume, which is a problem. But it is also a useful tool. Does it increase review burden? Yes. Is it excessively wasteful energy wise? Yes. Should we avoid it? Probably no. We have to be pragmatic, and learn to use the tools responsibly.
Me too. This is funny
Wait dbus isn't considered modern? What's the alternative these days?
The issuer knows everything and can help track if the wish to. The issue here is lack of trust in any corporate or government entity.
Crontab entry to read a file and run a prompt?
The long list of domain names that vercel deployed to is interesting
Am I the only one who found the terminal more interesting?
Excuse me what? Fonts? How do fonts signal LLM usage now
That blog post is very light on details can be condensed to a single line/paragraph. LSM trees are more efficient for SSDs and modern databases use them.
I don't know enough to comment yet but will go read about it.
But that has no moat. Anyone can generate a database of natural numbers using SOTA models.
How would that help in this case?
Can you share examples of new database architectures and products using them that are built for SSDs?
I'm sure we have different capabilities and constraints, but I am unaware of any fundamentally different approaches to indexes.

Before commenting water is cheap and plentiful please read the proposed definition.
Water bankruptcy refers to “a state in which a human-water system has spent beyond its hydrological means for so long that it can no longer satisfy the claims upon it without inflicting unacceptable or irreversible damage to nature.”

That is a strange viewpoint. Are we calling everyone who wants some control over their computers enemies of the state?
An unenforced threat is toothless. Publicly stating we do not appreciate XYZ pr that was ai generated, low effort and in bad faith is perfectly acceptable.
Very little, until it stops being stupid in many ways. We don't need smart, we need tools to not be stupid. An unreliable tool is more dangerous and more useless than having no tool.
When digital content can be duplicated with ease, it is difficult to guarantee verified voter but untraceable vote.
Very. Every voter is guaranteed a booth nearby (<2km away from registered address). Including a monk who gets his own polling booth because he lives so far from everyone and everything else. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2024/5/8/an-election-booth...

Love this. Classic microsoft.
Now people can articulate bullshit better with LLMs.
There are different kinds of mocks.
Check function XYZ is called, return abc when XYZ is called etc are the bad kind that people were bit badly by.
The good kind are a minimally correct fake implementation that doesn't really need any mocking library to build.
Tests should not be brittle and rigidly restate the order of function calls and expected responses. That's a whole lot of ceremony that doesn't really add confidence in the code because it does not catch many classes of errors, and requires pointless updates to match the implementation 1-1 everytime it is updated. It's effectively just writing the implementation twice, if you squint at it a bit.

Definitely. Horrible formatting and explanations, bunch of facts mashed together without coherence, weird references to netizens. I wonder how bad the model and prompt must have been to arrive at this.
20 a day is not a job worthy wage as I understand it.
The T shirts were also dehumanising. It wouldn't have taken much effort to go from "I'm Clarence a mobile Hotspot" to "I'm Clarence and I'm carrying a mobile Hotspot."
Holy hell I've read it's bad but this is horrible but very on brand for the capital of capitalism.
The full term imprisonment is just
This is a contested assumption. Prisons and penal systems in US as I understand it are for profit.
Why would errors as return values have to propagate any farther in the codebase compared to errors as exceptions? If exceptions can be handled, so can the value based errors.
