LLM cannot reason about anything. It can provide text that can be plausibly interpreted as reasoning by someone reading that text. When human provides a plausible explanation then …

I hate losing access to software just because it is "unmaintained". If module is "endorsed" now, since it is included in current version, and there is no maintenance, so no changes…

As a pedestrian I find cyclist are worse than cars for obstructing my path. Riding on the footpath (illegal here) even with bike lane available right next to it, not respectig the …

I would like for Linux to be able to replace Windows. I run Linux on some of my computers with various levels of success. But even with Windows 11 being as annoying as it is and Ub…

Having seen LLMs so many time produce incoherent, nonsense, invalid answers to even simplest of questions I cannot agree with categorization of "thinking" or "intelligence" that ap…

If the payload expands to something too large then it is easy to detect and ignore. Serve up thousands of 10kb or 100kb files that expand to 10s of MB with random garbage inside...…

We currently don't really know what intelligence is so we don't have a good definition of what to expect from "AI" but anyone who has used current "AI" for anything other than chat…

UTF8 is a horrible design. The only reason it was widely adopted was backwards compatibility with ASCII. There are large number of invalid byte combinations that have to be discard…

Runtime flexibility is not restricted to dynamically typed languages, it just happens to be less available in some of the popular statically typed languages. Error handling, expres…

I don't know what I am doing wrong but nothing written in Python has ever worked for me. I download the .py repo from from github or wherever and try to run it - errors. I try to i…

I don't like to be seen as defending Microsoft, they definitely have their share of faults, but as far as business goes, I think Microsoft is the least likely company to screw you …

They always had that option but somehow it was cheaper to ship there and back than to manufacture in US. So either you get 2x the tariff increase in price or you manufacture locall…

>Can we all stop pretending that they don't abuse of their power and hold your deepest darkest secrets indefinitely? Even though most of us are law abiding citizens. I don't anyone…

What is currently advertised as AI (LLMs) cannot replace all software developers. It is a tool that can make software developers more productive so there will be less need for low …

I have a really hard time understanding why people like 0 based indexes. They are a relic of C style arrays that are based on and interchangeable with pointers which use offsets th…

Like everything in life, it depends... For example: Storage has 5 items that need to be processed. 5 items need to be split equaly between available processes. There are currently …

"Fixable" in computer hardware has for many years meant that the computer can be disassembled without having to melt glue and that memory, network card, and disk can be replaced wi…

Why should all other companies and developers spend money to help $2T company make even more money when it was that company that broken all the existing software? Apple users will …

LLM can only provide statistically most likely diagnosis based on the training data. If used by the experienced doctor LLM can be a valuable tool that saves time and maybe even inc…

There is something disturbing about your take on this: 1) People who did the work do not deserve to be compensated. 2) Advertising is more valuable than the product being advertise…

Mac OS calls home every time you execute an application. Apple is well on its way to ensure you can only run things they allow via app store, they would probably already be there i…

Isn't this how generative models are supposed to be used? Instead of generating a sub-par (no pun intended) logo myself, I get a model to build one for me. It is the same as using …

If you look at the history of the last 2000+ years in Europe and Asia, invading sovereign nations (or whatever you want to call the equivalent over that period) is pretty much the …

Look, either you force everyone to be open to competition and interoperable or you allow everyone to lock down. How would you like all other manufacturers to do the same as Apple? …

There has been a major shift in IT culture between 2010 and 2015 where the general mindset went from "Let's see if we can make computer do this" to "How can we stop the computer fr…
