I think you mean "if everyone has the ability (and resources) to build a boat, then it's not a (good) moat". If everyone can build a moat, there's just a lot of moats.

All the newest ESP32 variants for a bit now have been RISC-V. The last new LX7 was the ESP32-S3 (in fact, the S2 is the only other LX7), and LX6 is basically a legacy product that only lives on in the [non-variant] ESP32. The P4, the entire

If Theseus recreated the ship from the original plans but all new parts, created new plans, and then burned the original plans and original parts, it is the same ship? If yes, what if they (with some ship building magic) converted to the se

I think the reimplementation in question rubs people the wrong way because of the intentions of parties on both ends and the ignoring of one of them by the other (erasure of, from some POV). The original author of the code obviously chose t

That's not a mistake. You'd be getting spam marketing anyway, why not make sure it's something obvious? I always pick the oldest possible age when asked, just to mess with their data, because they shouldn't fucking care.

If the content is mixed, it makes even more sense to have the content supply the age data. This is how it has worked with broadcast media pretty much forever. TV shows and movies gain their ratings based on the worst case on display. IE: a

They _have to_ continue renting, because they didn't learn anything while "making" those tools.

Because programmers made the LLMs, and they first applied it to the problems they know, so the examples of "replacing a programmer" are abundant. Then the hype train rolled in and now it's suddenly going to replace everything

CS programs have high attrition rates because programming or "coding" has been touted as easy money for a couple few decades now. When people find out it's not so easy, they bail. Holding a few layers of abstractions in your

Anyone could make their own tools before this as well. Just needed to learn something first. Real democratizing or programming is free access to compilers, SDKs, etc. AI coding does nothing to help that. In fact, it hurts it, because those

Then those "upgrades" will come down to just using an LLM as a lexer/parser for natural language and then calling a compiler on the generated AST. Except natural language is often very very ambiguous and removing that ambigui

I hope people can see that "winning big" using that process is very unlikely NOT to be "winning long term". (From GP) "AI coding sometimes sacrifices correctness or cleanness for simplicity, but it will win and win

But at least the coder has potential to have learned something. The future agent needs to be given all the context the past agent had, or else it's basically starting from scratch and is likely to make all the same mistakes.

"You want to avoid dumping in a bunch of data (like a year's worth of git logs) and telling it to sort out what's relevant itself" So instead you give it a years worth of changelog.md? "Better to have pre-processing

Why doesn't this apply to human collaborators as well? If you need all this extra metadata to comprehend the changes, isn't that kind of going backwards? You spend time (setting up the agents, building extensive prompts that expla

Actually I'd say Win2K was the merge point: its internal version is NT 5.0, while XP is NT 5.1 & 5.2. The Win2K UI is the first NT truly usable in a home situation, and last and best iteration of the Win95 UI before the plasti-colo

How is it more logical? Upper right places them close to the other window controls. Also continues the down-then-right order of most of the other controls. In fact, putting buttons along either _side_ of the windows would be a better fit on

Pointers are still very useful for many paradigms. Think about something like Blender or a game level editor: there can be _a lot_ of controls visible at once, trying to navigate them all with the keyboard is just unfeasible. And doing a fu

Every major first party product has been using their own siloed UI framework since like 2003-ish. Visual Studio has always been one of the worst offenders. Sometimes the new UI components in a VS became the new normal for the rest of the fi

"when it worked, it worked" is one of the weakest excuses possible, and one Apple themselves railed against many times. Not working at all (ie: broken) is quite worse than not working beyond perfectly. Who cares if you can't

Remaining questions include who would have been liable if, for example, the target wanted to sue for damages? Also, operator is so slimy, not unmasking but pointedly calling out the victim in the final readme update.
