Not really. No one targets F-Droid. If they did, there would be malware. F-Droid barely audits packages at all.

Do you actually believe that UV would be as fast if it were written in Python?

I assume they mean "getting a SOC2 report", which is the part that Delve attempts to automate. The maintenance of controls, adoption of new policy as the company evolves, etc, is what someone will do in the full time role and that

A lot of dubious claims here. 1. "Most open source repositories do have eyes on the code" Seems basically impossible that this is true. "Debian often has separate maintainers who maintain patches specific to Debian." doe

Not shilling, your points are just bad. I could just as easily say "You are one person who makes money, therefor you are always bad". Silly. Your argument is basically "If the Android team cared about user safety then Google

Total nonsense. Google is a large company with different teams that have different goals.

by staticassertion 6mo ago
It absolutely has to do with keeping people safe. You not caring isn't relevant.

No one is auditing. Behavior analysis works on closed source software too.

Instead the megacorp forces open source licensing, which doesn't solve any of this shit anyway lol

That's absurd.

Your post is very badly written. It's confusing and starts off with a totally weird comment about wasting revolutionary capacity. Expect downvotes.

It's extremely early to say if things are rushed or not. It's unsurprising that newer software has an influx of vulnerabilities initially, it'll be a matter of retrospectively evaluating this after that time period has passed

I have literally no clue what point you're trying to string together. I tried to refocus things to the topic at hand but you're just saying completely irrelevant things. What is your point?

And what do you derive from that fact? The position is that coding is only one portion of the job. "But there's a coding interview" was used to rebut this position. I have pointed out that the coding interview is a fraction o

FWIW I am definitely someone who uses AI. I have been using it for a few years now. There's no question that models have improved. I'd say the biggest leap was around the ChatGPT 3.5 -> 4.0, which radically reduced hallucinatio

I have experience and the gap is exaggerated imo. edit: And I think benchmarks largely support this, and benchmarks are already biased to overstate LLM performance IMO.

Eh, I don't know. I mean, are we seeing better models now? Of course. But are they truly leaps and bounds better? No, and I get confused by people saying that they are. They're better but not like... 10x better. And when people

I think that makes sense, the rest of your comment is definitely true.

I'm genuinely blown away at the attitude lately that developers spend their time programming/ our primary value is code. I guess because we tend to be organizationally isolated people just have no idea? But like... it's so ab

I'm a layman here. How is a skill any better? Aren't agent tools loaded on-demand, just as a skill would be? People are mentioning OpenAPI, but wouldn't you need to load the spec for that too?

It's well understood that programming interviews are a pretty shitty tool. They're a proxy for understanding if you have basic skills required to understand a computer. Notably, most companies don't rely on these alone, they

> LLMs can build anything. This is only possibly true if one of two things are true: 1. All new software can be made up of of preexisting patterns of software that can be composed. ie: There is no such thing as "novel" software

There is evidence of that, but more importantly, it wouldn't occur to me to write "wanna add email support". That's not my natural voice.

I've heard this before and seen no official source confirming it, and most sources seem to indicate otherwise. Do you have any source? edit: Okay so I was able to confirm the 2024 timeline from the Washington Post and the US Mint does

> But since you are a hacker and have to be always right, you have just descended into personal attacks now. The irony of this statement is so silly. Once again, you clearly have hang ups. I've explained everything I have to say.

by staticassertion 6mo ago
Do you have a source for that? Certainly things like compute and other services that I'm aware of are objectively cheaper, so I'm curious what has gone up.
