About simon84

I'm a dev that needs to understand what's behind - and that usually frightens me :D

    It would be great to understand better your motivation and expectations from it. I got in touch once with the committee I after requalifying them as a proper sales team I ran away.…

    Clever trick, but not great for accessibility and screen readers.

    D) is notably the one mixing best vertical and horizontal view. I guess we are used to a horizontal layout, some try to be bold with completely vertical but it won't be easy to ide…

    I am wondering what type of workload this is for. They give a tiny example and insist on micro, fast start, but the say it lasts up to 8 hours and is up to 16 vCPU. What sort of ap…

    I see the article focuses on tasks and things to do or not do. These are primarily driven by skills of the junior. Though you should expect they have none. What sort of comes out b…

    You are correct, better concede than argue. What I meant was a tangent: the HTTP was designed with a strong assumption that the application implementing it (the web server) would b…

    This whole thing is non sense. It basically mixes technical constraints (body or not body) with a functional requirement that arises from people that are tied to semantics of the p…

    Any idea how it got there in the first place?

    We have long passed the point where there is more AI generated content than authentic human content. That will soonish spiral into uniformity and degradation (see the experiments w…

    The idea is good, but the proposal falls in the same trap. The best case would be to issue whatever method is specified in the "method" attribute. At the moment, it suggests to add…

    Is it a full blown browser with support for all capabilities (basically a web-view with no title bar?) or does also it attempt to block all fatigue-related bloat, ads, moving parts…

    It is all about the power of statistics and the un-humanly conceivable processing power we grant it. I like the dream analogy framing as it avoids to personify an algorithm. Though…

    Indeed, this is ridiculous for a country that says no beer before 21. Arguing that children will learn to bypass the age restriction is equally founded as for alcohol.

    Is there a way to bypass the tamer? i.e. if the implementation is actually needed for some subtle task

    This is the reason SBOM is an attempt to force documenting dependencies. It will not solve everything but it helps. Other than that, it is a reponse to one's laziness to import a f…

    EU companies are judged guilty of negligence because backups were not totally disconnected (even though distant site) and ransomware did destroy them. So that is starting to dig de…

    It's not so much about velocity or quality, both of which LLM do (or will) provide. The real question is about accountability and liability. When a major data leak is going to happ…

    I can understand the motivation for CLI-based clients, but the browser built-in network inspector overlaps a lot. There is more to Oproxy with traffic shaping but would it be enoug…

    Nice I get it now. And from your usage, a natural question is how much effort was put by the AI to find the verified answer ? Did it need to run significantly longer or less that w…

    I'm not sure if the feature is intersection or the use of AI to write it... Polygon intersection is a well known thing. Video games and geographic information systems (topology) do…

    Can you explain how it passes through firewall and lands on a somewhat listening socket on the remote, without being abused meanwhile ?

    The most surprising for me is the network continuity. This is nice (I haven't tested it). Now I am more into stateless things for which the server is somewhat expected to fail, so …

    I think the hype does not quite cover the use cases it provides. It is not ordinary computing, is applies to a very limited set of problems. The buzz is that it is strong at cracki…

    Is the cost of infrastructure and tokens accounted for ? You should add this to your dashboard to be fair.
