Indeed, there may even be a whole lot of code that depends on it.

I have 3+ years of experience working on projects that integrate LLMs into the "old" approach to building software. Overall, whenever clients used LLM to analyse inputs without exp…

The correct way to do it would be to force Anthropic to remove content and the results of training based on that content from their models at copyright holder's request.

aka. "It's not our problem now."

Brilliant. This reminds me of (but is way more advanced) a single-file Python NoSQL key-value DB that used pickling to store data. It was FAST. Can't remember what happened to it. …

What a wonderfully visual example of the crap LLMs turn everything into. I am eagerly awaiting the collapse of the LLM bubble. JetBrains added this crap to their otherwise fine ser…

A few years in corporate managerial role will turn you into a bot.

I used to work with manager who told us to "have balls, deploy straight to prod" We spend a month cleaning this up. The other time when another manager demanded I "run this script"…

A similar thing is going on at Amazon. Their AI is rewriting perfectly good product descriptions provided by manufacturers and I noticed that I stopped buying there, because I cann…

I'd love to see Dennis Ritchie commemorated as one of the greatest Americans.

Can you not install Parallels and use it to run Linux under Mac OS X?

I wish they published CPU and graphic performance comparisons vs M1. Apart from coding I do a lot of large photo (100MP) and video (4K+) file processing and I am interested in core…

Props! I hope they keep it and don't use it as a play to get a better deal from a commercial provider. I am jaded after seeing too many "digital transformation" projects running on…

A remnant of their 'Linux is a cancer' phase and the famous fight against Open Source that started with the "Halloween Document" then helping SCO https://yro.slashdot.org/story/21/…

Not as much as it used to be. Before cloud computing became a thing, if you wanted to squeeze the last bit of performance out of hardware, FreeBSD was the way to go. Yahoo! used it…

Given that governments want to move to 100% digital government and economy, denying someone access to the internet will strip them of ability to take part in society, use governmen…

Find at least 10 things wrong in that video...

The solution is to ban drone deliveries in built-up areas. We do not need them.

or Kinder Surprise ;-)

Estonia (and now Ukraine) have worked on being able to do a "backup" of the country and a "restore" elsewhere if needed. (I am oversimplifying, but contingency plans have been part…

It's interesting how an idea almost nobody wants to see implemented in practice keeps coming back thanks to the efforts of the person most of the country, including his own party w…

Amazon are no longer the golden standard of e-commerce. I think 5-10 years from today we're going to look back at 2025 as the year Amazon started to destroy itself from within. The…

I started building on Cloudflare, but after their "pay us 120k or else" tactics they got famous for I decided to move code elsewhere.
