    The content does not read like it's well thought out to me, but I am at least convinced it's human.

    For once I wish they would've taken a more technological solution to this social problem and enforced more limited CI time and disk space quotas by default. Seems like it'd be fair…

    I've found LLMs useful for surfacing popular recommendations. I also get the overwhelming feeling that it's all very early days still when the machine mixes together whatever was c…

    You may (or may not) find Paul McKenney's free book on parallel programming interesting - it has an unusual tone for a Computer Science textbook that made it less dry for me. There…

    The Don is too busy selling exclusive TLDs to private companies that won't use them to care what the enforcers are up to.

    I always figured telegram got the screws turned on them all the time because their lack of E2E encryption meant it was viable to demand they proactively police the platform in the …

    I assumed they just wanted to cultivate FOMO to sell an even more expensive version to researchers later on.

    Counter question: where's the useful production-grade software that's been made entirely with "agent swarms"? Personally, I don't think useful business problems can be solved entir…

    I would be very surprised to see any "make it safe" solution that does not render these models useless for programming. I assume posts like this are mostly clout-motivated, but I r…

    I'd be really happy to come across this in a project I were interested in. So much hobby OSS is infested with slop that I don't even want to skim the code if I pick up a hint that …

    I worry the sort of core classes that are in massive lecture halls (and everyone remembers hating) would be more of a "blind leading the blind" situation if run like this. Maybe no…

    I never thought I'd defend Electron, but I'd rather use the bloated web UI than a vibe coded Qt/GTK version I'm positive will not have seen any human QA.
