Agree. But that is the OPs job then. The difference between good and bad design is that it will make those choices well.

I use eInk as my daily driver and do everything including ssh into tmux into vim and code on eInk. I build all my UIs with Rust and Ratatui. It works very well. So for web, I think it would translate to: 0) NO ANIMATION. You have like, 0.3

It seems to me you are not aware you can use dish soap and pry bar, wrench or screwdrivers to mount tires on rims. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/CbDCDOs3Vr8

I don’t think that a single-moving-piece gas turbine powered cars are currently on the market? And how many are single piston? Go carts and motorcycles maybe, but cars? And I was using complex as a shorthand for „more things to maintain“.

To be fair, DIY natural gas production from kitchen waste is a thing some people have done. It’s surprisingly doable and produces surprisingly large amount of usable energy. It can be scaled up.

True. But we don’t have enough synthetic hydrocarbons for the current most important usage: jet fuel. Might as well drive a quiet, renewable powered electric vehicle and let the jets use the synth. Or take the train.

Both, I guess. But fine, rotating tires and changing seasonal tires at least is something every car owner should be able to do. Either way, you need to do both on both ICE and BEV equally.

I stand by my statement. We have passed the point where burning fossil fuels more efficiently helps. If you think that is wild, you should see the wild_fires_ going on. Going to 100 mpg is still strictly worse than a battery powered by rene

You are not comparing complexity to an ICE though. You are comparing to a BEV. A plug-in hybrid is a much more complex machine than a BEV.

by FabCH 1mo ago
Non-plugin hybrids are pointless in the context of the paper from the OP, since they don’t help with climate change.

It’s mechanical maintenance beyond the skill level of 99 out of a 100 car owners.

by FabCH 1mo ago
I mean, you also need to top up the wiper fluid and clean the floor, but that and tire change is not even maintenance, it’s just part of „use“, no? I didn’t feel the need to mention something that everyone should be easily doing at home for

by FabCH 1mo ago
Hybrids are the worst of both worlds when it comes to maintenance. They have their benefits and are key to fighting climate change, but mechanically you inherit all the problems from both sides. There is no way you are driving a 25 year old

As a data point: I’m at year 8 of Model X 100kWh with basically 0% capacity loss. If it exists at all, it’s less than 1-2%, so less than what I can reasonably measure with just the odometer and battery indicator. Nissan Leaf gave BEV a bad

IIRC Sanjay was literally never a manager and Jeff was not a manager until like a decade after MapReduce was built. And of course they didn’t build it alone, that’s the point of companies and teams.

by FabCH 1mo ago
Jeff Dean invented MapReduce and Bigtable. Say what you want about their later years, but Dean and Ghemawat deserve their title of engineer.

by FabCH 2mo ago
FYI - There literally are guilds in some countries regulating who can use the title engineer. Although they prefer „chambers“ as a name these days.

In most ethical systems existing today: „no, but“ Only if you view it as appropriate measured self-defense against future attacks, which is a viewpoint some people subscribe too.

The post content is great. I personally hate the way Cloudfare has been the „default answer“ for the bot problem because Cloudfare has become the most successful MITM attack in history. We need content like this to keep the internet alive.

If a project uses AI assistance, it’s pretty much guaranteed that eventually 50% of the code in the project will in one way or the other be touched by AI assistance. And Torvalds does seem to plan on continue using AI assistance. It‘s becau

Unless they are hypocrites, they should. Otherwise the whole moralizing first part of their blog post is meaningless. And I am asking you because we are on an Internet forum and you responded to my comment.

And how do open models fit into that narrative? Say I am running Kimi K3 locally and commit security patches to Git. What now? Should Codeberg fork Git pre-2020 and keep the vulnerabilities?

by FabCH 2mo ago
Well we don’t know, do we? Because the ToS helpfully doesn’t explain. Does LLM autocomplete break the ToS? What about pre-LLM autocomplete? What about code written by LLM but reviewed by humans? Also, the spirit of the community is clear, g

Do they? A luddite response is not necessarily participating in society. It could be argued Codeberg group made a choice to opt out of participating.

by FabCH 2mo ago
The problem with this logic is that Codeberg itself is built on top of other FOSS. What will happen when Git accepts its first vibe-coded patch. Linus is famously ok with AI assisted coding, so eventually Linux can or will also cross the th

by FabCH 2mo ago
The Linux repo clearly would be considered vibe-coded by Codeberg policy and it being banned is the policy working as intended. It is probably a good example of why do many people think that the policy is ultimately counter productive even

by FabCH 2mo ago
They banned all LLM assisted projects. It’s not a fallacy if it actually happened.

No because lawyer is a protected profession with regulated rates. Unless your friend happens to actually be a legally licensed lawyer.
