I think the problem is the ease that you can create believable low effort articles and even software. It's harder to filter for the good stuff when compared to previous hypes, like Blockchain and JavaScript frameworks.

That's an interesting viewpoint, but then, will the allocator's performance never matter for any use case that is not "wrong"? It doesn't feel right.

Yep. Early in my career I developed a simple driver for a CAN interface to be used in a medical device, which was my assigned project. The same code was used in another project of this same company. The project was a missile. It felt weird.

Eventually solving for cost is a much easier problem than solving coding.

I couldn't adapt to the fact that, when I click, I have to be mindful of not moving the mouse sideways with the right amount of finger pressure.

This made me remember of a benchmark that I saw a few months ago about LLMs being unexpectedly _very good_ with Perl when compared to any other language. I couldn't find it right now. If someone knows what I'm talking about, pleas

I've started using OpenSpec[0] recently to mitigate problems like that, but I'm still very early in this journey. Can someone with more experience with it (or similar tools) chime in and confirm that this isn't just more AI s

Ansible includes modules to handle cloud resources as well, such as AWS Lambda.

Fair point. We could classify AI generated articles in two categories: 1) articles generated with context data that's trivial to find (or even embedded into the model) 2) articles generated with context data that's hard to find or

The problem is the signal/noise ratio in these articles. If the AI has written the article, then this same info could have been generated by my own AI, but tailored to my needs. So what, exactly, is the new info that this article is ge

This is pretty damn cool.

On a side note, _in the context of workstations_, I wonder if a hypothetical OS that reimplements the Windows APIs (like ReactOS, but with perfect modern hardware support) would be better for end users than a Linux distro with a modern DE.

Can anyone give some hints on what made Civ 1 special compared to other classic entries in the franchise? Despite the nostalgia factor, of course.

I don't have a stake on AI, but more and more I see the following patterns: - people that give in to AI do so because the technical merits suddenly became too big to ignore (even for seasoned developers that were previously against it)

That's an interesting topic. Please, elaborate.

I was pretty surprised when I learned recently that the Java alternative for green threads doesn't use colored functions. It put Java in a higher place in my perception.

This might be a buy for me once it is fully supported by Linux. Hopefully, the muscle memory of Ctrl, Super and Alt won't get in my way.

Feels like writing tests before writing code, but with LLMs :)

Not at all. AWS IAM policy is a complex maze, but incredibly powerful. It solves this exact problem very well.

Just because of the other examples, which even include C applications or GTK ones. Not strong contenders against something derived from old Delphi like Lazarus. However, Electron & the web stack has clearly won.

Lazarus[0] would probably have scored well in this exercise. [0] https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Btw, I've never met a player of Meridian 59, but seeing YouTube videos about it, it might have been popular in my community if we had access to it at the time. Looks super interesting, although it didn't age well, of course.

I think a component of it is a zero sum model. Like, not everybody can be incredibly successful. Not sure how to implement this, though.

These are the words and thoughts that I couldn't organize myself. Thank you for that. Fully agree.

If starting from scratch, what would an MMO need to replicate that? I've experienced it first hand, but I can't grasp why it worked well like it did.

UO was the only game that I've ever played where you had "commoner" players. A lot of players failed to scale up, or to obtain top notch equipment. But the game was fun even for underpowered players, so they kept playing. The
