    I'd say I don't like images that feel too AIsh and have errors/quirks. Still, some AI images are decent, depends on the person and his taste.

    Yes, but how does it decide if an element is button? Some are links ( tags).

    What about TOR or VPNs + faking user agents?

    Ah, sorry, yes, tried with a very different message. But it can still read when telling that the text is formed by movement. AI doesn't see the world the way we do, so it's underst…

    Yeah, I'm so sick of hearing "it's way faster to install app on linux by using terminal than using that bloated gui softare center".

    In my company it's a bit more complicated, but I have the spirit of your thoughts. I think business software (such as the ERP-like software I work on) is often an entropy magnet fr…

    Yeah, same thoughts. And this industry is becoming so volatile, I'm not sure what will happen tomorrow. I mean it's highly unlikely that AI will replace developers at least in the …

    Even before LLMs ORMs are good enough to cover most of the use cases. Only some complicated use cases needs raw SQL. So you can use both.

    Comment #48787317

    What's the problem with using ORMs for 95% of the cases and using raw SQL only for the remaining 5% where ORM isn't sufficient? One important benefit (aside from writing less code)…

    Yes, that was my point. But Windows might still allocate pages lazily (i.e. reserve them and actually allocate only when the program writes into them). The difference from Linux is…

    Well, if Firefox also works on other OSes, it probably should gracefully handle failing allocations, isn't it?

    There was also a bug in the Linux kernel, or did I miss something?

    As I understand, Windows can also lazily allocate pages, but it does after making sure the memory budget is adequate in a case of low physical RAM pressure and is guaranteed to be …

    Comment #48779455

    I think Windows doesn't do OOM kill, it just fails fast for unreasonably large memory allocations. If the allocation is succeeds, the committed virtual pages are backed up (or more…

    Comment #48779343

    I think Windows also uses something similar to Linux memory overcommit (maybe call it "lazy page allocation"), but probably all the available virtual memory is backed by the page f…
