How capable it is do you think at this moment. I guess we need 30 more years for software to get better, so less than 20 thousand children dies in the Gaza genocide.

> mostly obsolete

The Nordic languages beg to differ!


I'm working on a multi sig file authentication solution based on minisign. Anyone knows the response of the dev regarding minisign's listed vulnerability? If I'm not mistaken, the response of the authors are not included in the vulnerabilities' descriptions.

This person gets it.

Id liken the smartest AI to a savant like 10 year old that has multiple university degrees.

Smart, but they're still 10, still naive and easily misled and they can't be trusted to make real decisions.

They'll need an Adult in the loop if ever doing real work.


>so we farm incredible quantities of tobacco to extract its poisons.

Evolutionarily the best survival strategy.


In the blog post it uses "600,000 divs/second!" and "10,000 divs using its template engine" while the heading uses 600.000.

I assume the difference in usage of full stop / period or comma is accidental?


Because the actions of everyone count to the wide perception of a community from the outside.

Rust Striking Force meme exists for a reason, their actions are also not supported by the core team.


Source?

And that's the problem, if you want your code to actually work you do need to write those unit tests. A program not crashing doesn't mean it does the right thing.

With experience you will learn to either write unit tests or spend the same amount of time doing manual testing.

Once you start doing that then the unit tests just replace the static typing and you start shipping better code to your customers.


Oh sorry I mean

Yes, citizen-friend! I have upheld the Prime Directive and participated in our routine civic sports. Next month I will initiate the annual tributary credit transfer so that the oracle may see more clearly.


> We still should do more with HTML and CSS! And reach for leaner solutions than React everywhere.

It's pretty difficult for anyone to completely understand all the nuances in HTML and CSS. It's a big mess that gets bigger and messier every year.

We should have just given JavaScript even more power over controlling the viewport and leave HTML and CSS for the history books.


No? With let's encrypt the certificate is rotated, but the private key remains the same, and importantly, let's encrypt never gets to see it, and anything is logged.

YouTube promotes slop and "brainrot" irrespective of AI use, this through the client being tuned for clickbait title presentation, forcing back shorts after every relaunch and promoting clickbait select single frame thumbnails.

A bus can take 50 people into the city at once. Much more energy and space efficient and cheap. I imagine a bus/minibus/taxi mix though.

Judging by the comments Americans still don’t intuitively understand what the rest of the world does. Everyone is trying to create distance from the United States. The US no longer represents the smart deal, it represents risk, risk that countries can’t afford. The US has spent the last year creating chaos and punishing its closest allies and trading partners. The instability goes beyond Trumps term too, they’re rightfully afraid of the system that elected Trump twice. When they have a choice between euro’s, dollar’s or yuan they’re going to choose dollars less frequently to avoid exposure to the US.

A community is made by all of its participants.

One could also say some in the C or C++ communities actually care about security, thus no need for Rust or alike, yet no one is paying attention to those small groups in the corner.

A village is judged by its population actions, and even the black sheeps count to its overall image from outsiders.


I had the same reaction and I think you are not supposed to close it. Just go Menu -> Print (Ctrl+P) and you will see it without the box.

For the latter point, you are blinded by your own competence.

Bootstrapping a clean python env is the single biggest problem people for people that are not daily coding in python had with it before uv.

That's half of the community in the python world.

When you write sqla that's not obvious, because you know a lot. But for the average user, uv was a savior.

I wrote a pretty long article on that here:

https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-not-tell-people-to-simply-use

We also discuss it with brett cannon there:

https://www.bitecode.dev/p/brett-cannon-on-python-humans-and

But the most convincing argument is to teach python to kids, accountants, mathematicians, java coders and sysadmin.

After 20 years of doing that, I saw the same problems again and again.

And then uv arrived. And they disapeared for those people.


Small correction: there is unsubsidized transit, just not unsubsidized public transit. Seattle has Amazon, Microsoft, snd Google buses judt like the Bay Area does. My wife takes the Amazon bus a lot even though the public transit route would work just as well (for safety/hygiene reasons).

I have 2 nvmes and i have tried it with several sd card.

Is it accidentally showing the uppercase font for lowercase characters for 14SEG? the 7SEG's lowercase is actually lowercase

Everything you do will have some effect on another task you're doing. Nothing is perfectly safe. Most people are ok with the risk of driving. It doesn't matter if you're having a conversation.

Do you believe we can automatically detect AI generated videos, without having too many false positives and without spending huge amounts of resources playing the cat and mouse game?

It's not possible and it's not economically viable. Best we could do is some sort of signature to prove that the source of a video is trusted by the proof issuer.


I can't see how a bunch of esoteric incantations are better than just some straight-forward easy to understand and follow JavaScript.

> æ (U+00E6) is not a ligature; it's a mostly obsolete character, with different semantics (or phonetics) than ae.

Reading that a letter in my alphabet is mostly obsolete feels really weird. No rebuttal, just a comment.

> It would never substitute æ for ae; that would misspell the word as much as substituting an o.

While that is correct, a lot of other systems actually do this exact substition. If your name contains æ it will be substituted with ae in passports, plane tickets and random other systems throughout your life.

My own username on this website is an example of a similar substition. The oe should be read as the single character ø.


Your recommendations depend on what you watch. If you don't watch AI slop, you will not receive AI slop recommendations. This is what works for me.

Yes, windows 95 -> 98 -> 2000 was pretty straightforward to understand.

Same with 7 -> 8 -> (@.@) -> 10 -> 11

Let's not oversell their incompetence, is slightly higher then average but not singularly bad


So full of humility.

I'm going to assume this is a predominantly AI-written article since for some reason it's talking about GroqCloud serving Llama 2, which they don't.

It claims they serve Llama 2 7B @ 750 tokens/s with 2K context, but over on OpenRouter Groq is listed as serving Llama 3.1 8B @ 1300 tokens/s with 128K context. (And the official GroqCloud site says 840 tokens/s.)
