You can apply that argument to almost everything in capitalism. But in this case here: who gets hurt and maybe they enjoyed creating it.

Interesting. I have bad hopes for the data on children growing up with AI, which makes it easy to never apply critical thinking and finding own solutions.

Seems like this is old? > AI is not intelligent, and hallucinations are a feature How the times have changed... I would have agreed two years ago.

The German "Chaos Computer Club" (hacker club) has a disclosure service. They approach the affected party as the club, hiding the persons identity. Not sure if they do it internationally as the page is in German. But nice idea and

Sorry, not my cup of tea. I think UI peaked with minimal/material/flat a few years ago, which also made me more calm. Besides that, I think readability could be an issue.

Great news. My first thought was that I want to see how this looks. Unfortunately there is not a single screenshot in the announcement. Missed opportunity in my opinion.

Heavily disagree (for serious low-code platforms). AI produces code that only AI maintains. That's a big burden. Low-code vendors ship code patterns that are easy to compose. They have the burden of maintaining that code. Let AI build

There are so many more options than being acquired and abandonware. Its hard but there are many independent and stable open source projects.

Maybe not by market capitalization but Cloudflare is used by around 25 % of the web. Internet giant in my books.

Why does Cloudflare need a web framework? Most obvious would be they think they can make money from hosting astro sites (like Vercel and NextJS). I hope Cloudflare's impact on Astro will be tiny. But another great thing being swallowe

Definitely. But AI can also generate unit tests. You have to be careful by exactly telling the LLM what to test for and manually check the whole suite of tests. But overall it makese feel way more confident over increasing amounts of genera

I think you are true to a point. But great movies get almost universal praise with scores of 9/10 on IMDb or near 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The same goes for food; there are things that are quite controversial, but who says no to fantas

It is probably not just a Netflix issue. But it is also quite a philosophical question as to who is to blame. The consumers who watch and pay, or the ones who fund the mediocrity. It is definitely sad to see Netflix turn from their early ph

It's about all the other projects that would have had great quality but did not secure funding because Netflix prefers to fund mass-produced mediocrity. In Germany we have a saying "Even a blind hen sometimes finds a grain of corn

I don't like this. Netflix rarely creates excellent content; instead, it frequently produces mediocre or worse content. Will the same happen for Warner? Are cinemas now second behind streaming? Edit: I agree Netflix has good Originals.

My Hetzner servers have been running fine for years. Okay, there were times when I broke something, but at least I was able to fix it quickly and never felt dependent on others.

Wow, three times in a month is really crushing their trust.

Well some people like to code and logic puzzles. And especially as it is in its raw form where you can forget all the noise you encounter while coding professionally with many hoops and responsibilities.

We are also working on a database linter. Currently focusing on Oracle but we will support Postgres soon too. Rules can either run queries against the DB (e. g. foreign key without index) or use our parser to check code SQL, PL/SQL, an

That's probably their strategy of handling 402 Payment Required[1]. They want to become the platform over which auctions for AI crawlers buying rights to use content take place. Scary if it works out their way and Cloudflare becomes an

It's weird that the just keep the version number. Why not release it as 2.6 or something else. Now it is confusing, do my existing workflows automatically use the updated version and if yes do I need to monitor them for unwanted change

Can we start distinguishing between basic stats and surveillance? It sounds like this author also disabled web server logs as any knowledge of traffic is deep surveillance. Is this really the way? Maybe some people get motivated or improve

It is not the nicest but you will quickly get used to it and productive. However maintaining huge websites with thousands of thousands of lines of custom CSS will never be easy. And especially if somebody else wrote it.

I think you underestimate the impact of their database on the world. They were a huge tech innovator in that part (and actually still are).
