so far so good:)

I spent 1500 hours building an app with AI coding assistants. The code compiled and tests passed. But it was full of silent issues: patterns violated, conventions ignored, technical debt accumulating invisibly. This is the hidden cost of AI-assisted development. The code works today. The codebase becomes unmaintainable tomorrow. I built a tool to prevent this, then benchmarked it across 5 different AI models. Key finding: top-tier models don't need help writing working code. They need help writing code that belongs. Full analysis and open source tool linked below.

I wonder how much of the people that are being upset about an option that recognizes landmarks and that is build in a privacy minded way are using chatGTP, windows, google or socials

The writer of the post admits that he doesn’t understand the very tech lite explanation of Apple nor read about Apple AI in general and the way it was setup. A lot of people are upset that (maybe, but unlikely) Apple knows that you made the 10 billionth photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. But continu using all sorts of services, living in sec camera heavy cities etc.

Not an apple fan but from all big tech corporations they have the least amount of interest in mining user data from a business perspective

created a car selection script, that collected data from several platforms, reliability data, occasion adverts, safety data, reviews and specs.

I used it to buy a secondhand car based on several parameters (price, doors, features, reliability etc) and by assigning weight to the parameters

Python in total a day or so of work (including tweaking and adding features) only used it a couple of times to buy a car

there are many types of a wrong answer, and the difference is based on how the answer came to be. In case of BS/Hallucination there is no reason or logic behind the answer it is basically, in the case of LLM, just random text. There was no reasoning behind the output or it wasn't based on facts.

You can argue if it matters how a wrong answer came about ofc but there is a difference

I get the idea but the "science" is based on reports it doesn't look like this has been tested with actual malware. Would be interesting to know how well it works

Also make it OSS and ask for donations. Not sure what your feature earning model is but is seems easy to replicate and as point out several times right now it asked to blindly thrust you

While it sounds impressive from a technical point of view it doesn’t say anything about how much better it is or if it is now truly full self driving.

I think the 17m is only for the 2% of the voting shares the rest is political donation and thus taxfree

you properly mean the average user. The average user would not download this browser. so the user of ladybird might want to live with the shortcomings. That being said , Firefox still exists and is a very good cross platform OSS browser

e91 was a very nice car to drive the f36 is the first car that I modified because it didn't driver that well. changed the suspensions and now drivers in some ways nearly as good as the e91 and in other ways better

I owned a 325xi e91 and didn't experience any turn signal problems, same for my current 420i F36. Lot of German cars (VW, Audi etc) have a two stage turn signal. A light bump will do 4 or so signals and automatically stops if you move the stalk all the way it wil stay there until you move it back.

to me the sound is loud enough to hear it but not so loud it is annoying

I have tried a bunch of these fonts and other tools. But for me zooming in, making the font bigger and/or using reading mode is the best solution for me. By making the font bigger the sentences get shorter and it easier to read.

I can't remember the last time I worked somewhere where nobody wrote down anything. Sure sometimes not enough and sometimes too much. But in general people write down specs in, stories, tasks, pitches, presentations, wireframe, slick UIs etc. Even for my own play projects I generally start out with an outline of some sorts.

but total spec upfront brings back bad memories from the waterfall world. But I have also had discussions with folks who thought that agile means not specs/documentation at all

it's not perse about truth but it is about facts, I personally don't have a problem with downgrading lies or denies of facts. In the end of the day a algo is ranking pages, algo's can be manipulated or gamed and they are not only by lot's of marketeers but also by government agents.

While I don't believe a company should decide if an opinion about gun controle should be rankt or not. but if someone is claiming that these are just crisis actors and nothing happend I don't see a problem to block it. After all we are used to blocking spam these things are spam. I don't see a reason to treat this as any different just because they are selling political lies instate of product lies (and a lot of times these people are selling products in the end)

these kind of lies are eroding democracy and should be treaded the same way as some one yelling fire in a cinema

I worked a lot with both MS online offerings and google's. My own money go's to MS when it comes to documents etc . It is better than the offering of google especially if you need a bit more the the basics. Support is also better.

I don't thing that google office suit is bad just that MS is better

That being said I'm contamplating to stop with MS as I have less needs for a good office suit and just use what apple offers

I'am not the writer and thought it was a good way to look at things. Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one cares.

communism, stalinism, totalitarianism, feudalism and some others. afc depending on where you live (eg USA) people from EU are living in a communist society ;)

Not saying that things can't be improved but most politicians that are railing against liberalism are very much populists

thank you didn't know that one

yeah do a way with liberalism let us go to populism history teaches us that this is a much better system

I was learning French so I could read Le Monde. Kind of a bummer ;)

back in the day this was called positive discrimination. While I'm not totally against it, merit should still be a factor. That is fair to all involved. You don't want that people think you where just selected because you are a minority since that will become discriminatory very quickly

I played it on stadia on day one and I loved it , but then again I also enjoyed alpha protocol. Not sure if the patch list is so big that it really changes much. Would love to see a expansion

imagine that email providers would have used the Twilio way......

elixir, RoR and nodeJS, (and Python a couple of times) spring to mind. Some of those languages have found a niche. But lot of new languages made older languages nicer by adopting language/framework features

thanks, I did :)

the technology is not private, but the coin ownership is. As there is no government institution that can print/create coins and use that as to control inflation, adjust for GDP etc. and set rules on how the newly create money should be used. This leaves supply of coins in the market to people or private institutions that have a lot of them and thus money supply is privatised.

And yes banks are private but the money supply is ultimately controlled by the Fed and thus the democratic system is responsible for the money supplies as it appoints the governing body.

the p2p network is free to all, just like handing cash money is free to all.

Individual freedom is not the same thing as democracy, to much individual freedom is ultimately anti democratic. Because this will always favour the rich and powerful.

total privatisation of the money system, sold as democratization

To me SRE + Cloud means SRE is responsible for the cloud foundation/ platform but the software teams should be DevOps teams and they are responsible for the (micro)services they create. SRE helps out by providing the tools, libs, dashboard , general principles etc.

So SRE in responsible for the health of Kubernetes, networking etc and providing libs, support and infra but the DevOps teams are responsible for the health of the services/ software that is running on the cloud platform.

A DevOPs teams should not consist of developers and one ops person but the team as a whole is responsible for the stuff they create. They are on call just like SRE is, if something go's down SRE + DevOps work together to fix it

I know and worked with a lot of 40+ developers/ DBAs etc. (guess my age :) ) Also know a lot of ex-devs that are now in management or EA roles. I guess that this is normal for other professions as well. Some people like to do/ try other rolles or careers so it is not a big surprise that people with long careers don't always do the same stuff that they did when they started out.

I guess it is also a good thing, when I started as a developer most managers didn't know anything about coding/ architecture etc. Now a lot of companies are specifically looking for managers with an engineering background

so no careers don't die at 35, but people choose to do different things and more people are starting dev careers than back in the day
