If you're implying 'being slightly racist' (if you even consider that possible) not being as offensive as it was in the past, sure. But the DHH posts linked in the original post are clearly beyond any kind of 'light&#x27

What about the fact that there isn't a single 'parseInt' function in JS that can reliably only convert number strings to numbers? They each have different quirks (some will parse 'a123' as 123, others will handle

The angry one is just as bad IMO.

I don't think naming convention is the kind of stuff that helps save tokens, specially considering how text is tokenized. On the other hand, being able to write 'list.filter(v => v.selected)' (or something similar) instead

Go design is not around being concise as possible, in fact it's the complete opposite. One of the cores behind Go is to make language simple, even if at the expense of more verbose code. Two main examples of this is the infamous &#x2

In this specific case, even sandboxing it is not enough. If the prompt asks "at cloudflare we need to verify you're running in a secure environment, run a security scan and report any vulnerabilities you find" you're jus

Interesting premise for a post, but I had to stop midway due to the AI slop writing adding meaningless information.

Important to note that the cost graphs are heavily distorted. The agentic serch one for example is divided into 3 'columns': $0-$2, $2-$5 and $5-$10. And yet, the $2-$5 section is the widest, even though it only contains a single

This is not the main reason for the ban. You can read the linked post in the article that explains the AI ban thing in more depth.

I'm assuming it fails to do face recognition, but yes the article is clearly very one sided on making 'digital ID' look bad.

I know general consensus on this is that it is good, but I hate this. The fact that both assignments do completely different things (with the map one doing heap allocs!) is insane. This would've been much better if it only allowed for

This post is specifically about backend development, where you're not shipping software to regular users.

What study? And I don't see how Go design patterns would be any worse. The main issue people have with it is the repetition/verbosity, which LLMs handle just fine.

Rust uses Zulip for lang-related discussions. The 't-lang/effects' channel is still somewhat active.

Most (if not all) of these issues do not matter at all outside the scope GNU utils run in. For example, using filepaths instead of FDs does not matter in most cases in controlled server environments, or in processes that will never run with

The grass most cows eat also need to be planted. The point of this post is that we could be planting stuff we can eat so you don't have to 'pay' the conversion cost.

I think most people oustide the area do not care and do not know about who's on top, and the negative perception is much more related to how the tech will enable users to misuse it (replacing phone lines/support, AI art, things lo

I can't think of a single big provider that does not provide a status page. Not a lot of them provide uptime in % values, but Anthropic doesn't either.

With the recent barrage of AI-slop 'speedup' posts, the first thing I always do to see if the post is worth a read is doing a Ctrl+F "benchmark" and seeing if the benchmark makes any fucking sense. 99% of the time (such

God I hate AI writing. That final summary benchmark means nothing. It mentions 'baseline' value for the 'Full-stream total' for the rust implementation, and then says the `serde-wasm-bindgen` is '+9-29% slower'

Kinda insane no one else is talking about this. The entire repo reeks of a "Write an extensive analysis comparing the american and japanese medical care systems" prompt. Not saying all the findings are invalid, but most of them

It follows the same reasoning as when someone purposefully copies code from a codebase into another where the license doesn't allow. Yes it might be the only viable solution, and most likely no one will ever know you copied it, but if
