Okay, lets imagine it get enforced and every project is scanned for compliance, with some false positives and inability to prevent people from sneaking in AI code.\ Do you agree with it now?

The copyright/Anti-ai angle is likely an excuse and they're running out of money for hosting, hence errors and anti-scraping blocks. Its completely absurd to think they somehow waited years to ban AI for copyright, while deleting

IKEA beds are underestimated: these flimsy POS planks and their insertion is entire artform that was likely engineered to cause pain. The idea here is they are huge, finicky and depend on precise positioning in multiple areas, there is no

The neglected part here is latency, speed itself can be masked by progress bars/animations, but having visible lag ruins the idea of speed and users treat it as slow vs animated loading bar.

Ok, suppose you have a "trash/low quality" article and "this article has been deleted", the article with some info will win over the audience as they search for it. Like "Worse is Better", the quality wi

Don't know why you get downvoted, but this is how AI-based projects win over time: they don't randomly decide to delete valuable data. Grokipedia might be trash in terms of its quality, but at least it it doesn't have omnipre

GCC already solved it: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Vector-Extensions.html The operations behave like C++ valarrays. Addition is defined as the addition of the corresponding elements of the operands. For exa

Here and on reddit, AI debugging is viewed as some weird shallow pattern-matching that obviously fails to spot real stuff and overload the maintainers. Instead of getting to "spotless record" of zero flaws, the people start ratio

What is the 181M$ mysterious "Project Support" in the graph means? Linux is labeled separately, so it cannot be the "Project".

IFUNC should be implemented by software itself, like switching functions on runtime/compile checks. Why bother having a slower, insecure version that is less flexible than a function pointer? I have to agree with author. Glibc is fill

Try to listen to music in language you don't understand. The effects of having lyrics don't appear unless you focus on them to repeat the memory of song. Of course instrumentals are better, but lyrics lift the mood by virtue of ha

Sure, is there anyone nostalgic for debugging bash files by hand? Any sense of grief for writing C++ template headers, with all boilerplate? Hmm, does anyone like manually re-writing makefiles these days? I suspect the enthusiasts of coding

When you make forums you compete with forum aggregators with more history and social clout, i.e. a reddit replacement. If someone made better Reddit, it could have a chance, however reddit-type aggregators crypronite is hosting their own v

This seems useful beyond agents. It will save tons of traffic for scripts, text browsers, low-bandwidth connections,etc markdown is incredibly compact and easy to parse.

The code written by AI in most cases is throwaway code to be improved/refined later. Its likely to be large, verbose and bloated. The design of some agents have "simplify/refactor" as final step to remedy this, but typic

the article misses log-math and log-log-math which would use 64-bit (d)oubles are exponents in 10^d and 10^(10^d) respectively, which allows far higher range of possible values but somewhat more awkward math operations(addition/subtra

Isn't this basically a forum-as-s-service?

There is a point in there, long-range analysis and debugging without AI is much harder, AI spots lots of non-obvious stuff very fast. If we consider "spotting non-obvious flaws" a skill, this will atrophy as beginners will learn t

Quntity of exercise cannot build quality. Its self-selecting the people who can handle running and injuries better so they adapt. The rest get injured enough to stop. II don't think trying to "push it to using 100% of potential&

It seems to be adding tons of articles, then some of them get deleted. I assume it's been allocated lots of compute. The entire model is outcompeting wikipedia on quantity per topic. If wikipedia merges/integrates some article and

Short-term thinking, they don't care about where the data comes from but how easy is to get it. Its probably decided at project-manager level.

Still, why many projects are exclusively on github? Not a single mirror, everything tied to github working, thousands of people not even considering alternatives..

This has the feeling of corporate feel-good PR release: its essentially content-less AI-generated rehashing "our models are freer/more open-source" which seems silly since they don't develop anything unlike DeepSeek&#x
