> The theoretical advance we're waiting for in LLMs is auditable determinism I think this is a manifestation of machine thinking - the majority of buyers and users of software rarely ask for or need this level of perfection. Noise i

Based on what I've seen so far, I'm thinking a timeline more like 5-10 years where anything involving at least frontend has all but evaporated. What value is there in having a giant app team grind for 2 years on the perfect Androi

I expect pretty much the opposite to happen: it makes sense for languages, stacks and interfaces to become more amenable to interfacing with AI. If a machine can act more reliably by simplifying its inputs at a fraction of the cost of the e

There will always be "real thinking" roles in software but the sheer pressure on salaries from the vastly increasing free labour pool will lead to an outcome a bit like embedded software development, where rates don't really

As I recall it, there was a time when copyright infringement on YouTube was so prolific that the rightsholders essentially forced creation of the first watermarking system that worked at massive scale. I do wonder if any corners of research

the IP rights holders have yet to bare their teeth. I don't think the outcome you suggest is clear at all, in fact I think if anything entirely the opposite is the most probable outcome. I've lost count of the number of technology

The frequency of AI cope posts appears set to keep increasing until the very last one of us is fired. The reality is that users simply don't care about any concern to be found discussed in the church of software engineering, they want

More efficient hardware mappings will happen, and as a sibling comment says, power requirements will drop like a rock. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hz4cs-hGew for some idea of what that might eventually look l

UML and "as little overhead as possible" probably shouldn't appear in the same train of thought. I remember it from the very earliest Linux VPS providers, IIRC it only got semi-usable with some custom work (google "skas3

It gets more interesting when you think about the impact on groups. Sending an image to a group is enough for all devices associated with that group to be identifiable from CloudFlare's side, who additionally see a giant chunk of unenc

Someone mentioned "App Store" during a meeting, probably accidentally. It's a known killer, the tech world equivalent of sneezing while carrying an infectious disease

That clearly seems the case, doesn't mean the video wasn't worth making though. This situation would terrify a lot of people

I don't know how meaningful it is any more, but with long polling with a short timeout and a gracefully ended request (i.e. chunked encoding with an eof chunk sent rather than disconnection), the browser would always end up with one sp

I think you're confusing this with the 60 GHz band (WiGig)

This is the first "rewrite it in rust" reason I've heard that actually makes total sense, congratulations. Ability to safely hack on ancient code really does sound attractive

> dedicated 10G network to connect your servers Do you have to ask Hetzner nicely for this? They have a publicly documented 10G uplink option, but that is for external networking and IMHO heavily limited (20TB limit). For internal cluste

Oh whoa a 5 minute video for exactly this :) Apologies for making you be my Google. Yep, everything in wasm makes things much easier to work with, especially if you want to run it on a client device

It sounds like you might know the answer to this. Would it be straightforward to use this for sandboxed headless file conversion? You can do that already with LibreOffice, but it's a monster amount of unsafe code that's difficult

I think the central nature of moderation needs fixed, rather than moderation itself. Real world moderation doesn't work by having a central censor, it involves like-minded people identifying into a group and having their access to conv
