Because they cannot be profitable. Job market is not the same on both ends. If you are east European and you try to get a job in an international corporation, the in all cases offer salaries adjusted for regional averages, unless you are wi

Thanks for that. I skimmed through provided links, only thing I can conclude was, it was a process of do something and let's hope for the best. I also see references to files not linked to Github, so I don't know what is contained

Unless there is a way to see or check the whole prompt that made this game, it is hard for me personally to say if this is impressive or not as I don't know what percentage of this was vibe coded. I also see there is an incentive to sk

You nailed it, I came to the same conclusion recently. When people show me what have they done with LLM, I am left unimpressed as mostly they show things that can be done manually in a very short time. I also failed to observe the rise in a

Calculations from me and others have proven that cloud providers use 5-10x multipliers when selling you things. The less you use them, the better is your bottom line. At the beginning it maybe makes sense to use cloud credits to get you mov

I had a similar thinking that this should be one of the most important USP for LLMs in coding. Does anyone here has more insights or experience in using LLM to cut through years of abstractions and just rewrite code in asm or any other low-

Ghost guns are not dangerous, people were making all kind of weapons in their basements for centuries.

As the old saying goes (I made this up), if it was worth that much, it wouldn't be released to the public. There is absolutely zero chance that something "dangerous" would be available for 20 USD / month to basically any

Great work sending me down nostalgia memory lane!

I agree with you. Unfortunately usually, the simplest explanation is often the truth, so they just probably ignored this issue, until it surfaced up.

I don't know how much servers are they using or server specs besides ancient Opterons, but how is this even an issue in 2025? On Hetnzer (not affiliated), at this moment, i7-8700 (AVX2 supported) with 128 GB RAM, 2x1 TB SSD and 1 Gbit

I didn't look at this video, but be vigilant when seeing one, as I was also surprised by someone demonstrating what they can do with Cursor and I went so far to install the exactly the same version of the app, use the same model and ev

I will use an opportunity to confirm that cloud is ill-suited for almost all but niche business cases and majority of users were dragged into cloud platforms either by free credits or (my suspicion) some grey kick-back schemes with C-level

Voice, in-person, in a coffee shop, with mobile phones on the table.

Nope, that didn't happen. I access Internet for personal use only on my non-shareable mobile connection. I noticed what you are talking about when I google stuff on the workplace where we share common ip.

Well, of course I cannot be 100% sure, but I usually don't see his other interests popping up on my ads. I must say that I am the person that doesn't use ad blockers or similar tech, as I want to see what is getting advertised on

I have noticed a similar trends, when speaking about some specific topics without following up on the device by traditional means (keyboard), ads started to show up in a day or to. Last occurrence, 6 months or so ago, of that happening was

You are right, some games, especially multiplayer ones will refuse to work in the VM to prevent cheating, but this is, of course, the business decision on their side. You can always construct the software in such a way that when it detects

This works, I can confirm. Majority of malware threat running in a VM as a sign of researcher doing the malware analysis. I am recommending doing this for over 10 years now.

Just interested, how do you manage licensing tarpits around certain video codecs supported by ffmpeg?

The thing I don't understand is why people go for cloud route for the simple sites, when there are options like Github static hosting or self hosting using secure tunnels from Cloudflare or Ngrok? The risk presented by these horrors s

Pure Golang can take you a long way. There is no need to add unknown libraries / frameworks, until you have a clear requirement for those.

by fancythat 3y ago
Golang, Htmx, Sqlite if you want to deploy fast with minimal setup. For CSS, whatever works for you, but Tailwind / Bulma / Bootstrap are ok.

Thanks :) I will investigate nikto integration as well.

I don't want to sound negative, but Wise is working for most people and even for myself almost all the time. The fact that you are being rejected by Revolut and Airwallex simply means that there is something fundamentally wrong on how

Location plays a role here. If you are in the industry where your people are paid 200k usd minimum then cloud will probably pay off, if you can pay them 1/5 of that, then it is probably another way around. Ahrefs cloud story reminds me
