well that holds IF svgmaxxing is 100% "code-writing-maxxing"

...which.. hmm I dunno if they are same or not

well if you looked at blender 2 days, UI was really "user-hostile" level difficult/un-intuitive

I think about blender 4? there was a big UI overhaul here

engineer and a principle force behind this technology

well he's not some biochemist...

and even biochemists have trouble within their own field because there's so much 'unknown' stuff in biochem (eg Thalidomide scandal)

well... maybe color blindness?

I don't recall anyone disliking types

where people would say goofy things like they couldn't use Python because it's untyped. That's insane: Python is strongly typed. It's also dynamically typed, which is a different dimension.

hmm maybe you don't understand type-checking INSIDE IDE, NOT during runtime?

hmm maybe the plaintiff should sue nvidia?

hmm g00se?

translation: goose has constipation

hmm maybe if we wait longer, LLMs will learnt to be like "none-em-dashers", and we "em-dashers" will prevail?

Heat is not a cost

hmm? maybe it differs from time to time? on summer, it IS cost (nearby need to run AC)

perhaps we need a fine grained permission system like Apple provides, but for clis

well deno has the stuff... but deno's not popular (yet)

idk maybe java should adopt something similar to rust's "edition"?

security-wise, usb-c is the worst scenario device I've ever seen -- unless you're Apple, you can't make a security-boundary without infringing patent US11205021B2

for laptops, a bad-actor usb-c cable/charger can do so much more, unless your laptop has AI that can distinguish "is this signal really coming from monitor/keyboard/etc ?" I'd rather have plain-old DC adapters (or usbc to dc)

yeah if the article was about "helping the infantry", then I would have 100% agreed.

but... drones? that's just yellow journalism optimized for SEO keyword (and anyone who clicks an article with 'drone')

those predators and friends are really high-altitude drones, and for them these low-altitude (human) level pics don't give them any advantage

well the article writes AS IF the whole intention was to:

"get data for drone warfare" ...in 2021 (before the russian invasion...)

but did we even EXPECT drone warfare to influence the war THIS MUCH back then?

well not me -- I actually thought russia would beat the crap out of ukraine within a month (even after the failed spetsnaz attack on zelensky)

the article's assumptions only makes sense IF some people had time machines, or if CIA has some know-everything future prophet

(not to mention: drones need TOP TO BOTTOM view, not bottom-to-top view)

anyway, my verdict: sensational yellow journal article, nothing more/less

maybe that's where the irony starts?

hmm so which sane country would 'import' this?

maybe we can debate, but not arrive at conclusion?

hmm maybe time to get into deno?

I mean, the current "allow ANY filesys operation" can't cope with modern supply-chain attacks...

with deno, you can specify folders/files that the execuble/library CAN touch (or CANNOT)

this

for other cases, I can just wait more for my cpu/gpu/cloud to do the job

idk maybe LLM people should only commit what they actually understand, only in bite-size (maximum few lines in few files) and with at least 1~5 tests that shows the edge cases

drive-by 20-file pull-requests that ultimately end up costing maintainer's burden seems to hit hard here.

then both CSS and SVG are significantly more risky.

how???

temperature drops on mountain areas...

well datacenters should go near power plants or cool mountain areas

for ML training loads, it just doesn't make sense to build them near residential areas for few millisecs

well deno has 'allow-read' 'allow-write' kind of permission, so if something tries to read from my ~/.ssh or other important folder, it can just block it

even with blocking lifecycle scripts, the attacker could have planted it somewhere else or just trick the dev somehow to run it

well bun could 'gradually become deno':

1. add 'enhanced security mode' that's actually 'deno-compatible/like' (permissions, etc)

2. mark libs/executables/etc as 'enhanced security compatible'

3. ...merge by buying out deno?

this

we nodejs devs were just ignorant/lazy

npmjs should mark libs "deno compatible" and move over to deno gradually for security

yeah it's such a pity deno's security features could have made recent npm attacks moot...

well benchmarks that's why

if the numbers look good, I pick it up -- though whether the numbers actually hold in reality is... well something I should check... but won't due to laziness...

I should check actual perf numbers... well next week or month?
