Agree. But that is the OPs job then. The difference between good and bad design is that it will make those choices well.

I use eInk as my daily driver and do everything including ssh into tmux into vim and code on eInk. I build all my UIs with Rust and Ratatui. It works very well. So for web, I think…

It seems to me you are not aware you can use dish soap and pry bar, wrench or screwdrivers to mount tires on rims. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/CbDCDOs3Vr8

I don’t think that a single-moving-piece gas turbine powered cars are currently on the market? And how many are single piston? Go carts and motorcycles maybe, but cars? And I was u…

To be fair, DIY natural gas production from kitchen waste is a thing some people have done. It’s surprisingly doable and produces surprisingly large amount of usable energy. It can…

True. But we don’t have enough synthetic hydrocarbons for the current most important usage: jet fuel. Might as well drive a quiet, renewable powered electric vehicle and let the je…

Both, I guess. But fine, rotating tires and changing seasonal tires at least is something every car owner should be able to do. Either way, you need to do both on both ICE and BEV …

I stand by my statement. We have passed the point where burning fossil fuels more efficiently helps. If you think that is wild, you should see the wild_fires_ going on. Going to 10…

You are not comparing complexity to an ICE though. You are comparing to a BEV. A plug-in hybrid is a much more complex machine than a BEV.

Non-plugin hybrids are pointless in the context of the paper from the OP, since they don’t help with climate change.

It’s mechanical maintenance beyond the skill level of 99 out of a 100 car owners.

I mean, you also need to top up the wiper fluid and clean the floor, but that and tire change is not even maintenance, it’s just part of „use“, no? I didn’t feel the need to mentio…

Hybrids are the worst of both worlds when it comes to maintenance. They have their benefits and are key to fighting climate change, but mechanically you inherit all the problems fr…

As a data point: I’m at year 8 of Model X 100kWh with basically 0% capacity loss. If it exists at all, it’s less than 1-2%, so less than what I can reasonably measure with just the…

IIRC Sanjay was literally never a manager and Jeff was not a manager until like a decade after MapReduce was built. And of course they didn’t build it alone, that’s the point of co…

Jeff Dean invented MapReduce and Bigtable. Say what you want about their later years, but Dean and Ghemawat deserve their title of engineer.

FYI - There literally are guilds in some countries regulating who can use the title engineer. Although they prefer „chambers“ as a name these days.

In most ethical systems existing today: „no, but“ Only if you view it as appropriate measured self-defense against future attacks, which is a viewpoint some people subscribe too.

The post content is great. I personally hate the way Cloudfare has been the „default answer“ for the bot problem because Cloudfare has become the most successful MITM attack in his…

If a project uses AI assistance, it’s pretty much guaranteed that eventually 50% of the code in the project will in one way or the other be touched by AI assistance. And Torvalds d…

Unless they are hypocrites, they should. Otherwise the whole moralizing first part of their blog post is meaningless. And I am asking you because we are on an Internet forum and yo…

And how do open models fit into that narrative? Say I am running Kimi K3 locally and commit security patches to Git. What now? Should Codeberg fork Git pre-2020 and keep the vulner…

Well we don’t know, do we? Because the ToS helpfully doesn’t explain. Does LLM autocomplete break the ToS? What about pre-LLM autocomplete? What about code written by LLM but revie…
