For those too young to know, call waiting is standard now your phone tells you when you get a call while on another call, but this used to be a paid upgrade feature and if you didn’t have it, the person calling you would get a busy signal (instead of ringing it would just beep) and you had no way to know.
Mono is not great because for the last ten years Microsoft shipped .net runtime has run native on Mac and linux without wine, so mono has not been seen the investment.
Self awareness is definitely a redeeming quality, and it’s clear you have that. Something to build on, if you want.
That’s not how many car deaths per year, in the us it is in the 40,000 range for the last several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
Not sure where three million came from.
I see your point, but I’m here for Android 17.Are you in the wrong thread? Or am I?
Here, use this tool it makes you fast and it only costs you not understanding what you ship.
But when the tool screws up and breaks things we’ll blame you and not the tool.
We must go fast so you must use this tool.
TBH, I wanted to volunteer on a local crew that maintains hiking trails. I didn’t… because they were all about taking endless pics and u/l it to their FB and maybe IG. So I avoided sth I wanted to do make my city better. But no way could I avoid their need to share everything with big tech.
Its hard, and this is a common issue. I have to stop and ask what good am I doing by avoiding it? Usually it’s worth the price, because making the real world a better place out weighs most big tech issues.
At least that’s how intrt to evaluate things, while still minimizing my own footprint where possible.
Pushing SSL was probably the last big tech effort/push that actually benefited users. Sure it made self hosting a little harder, and probably consolidated some tracking behind bigger players, but overall end users did benefit.
Most of what I see now is purely for their benefit and users don’t benefit.
While true, the latest opus model has 1m token context. Which is a lot more than the previous 200k limit. Hard to fill that up with regular work, but easy if you try to oneshot a whole product.
Believe it or not in some ways they are better and more flexible and in other ways they’re more limited. Basically they are totally separate situations to the same problem.
Since they now have the same owner, you’ve already identified which one is gaining features and fixes.
While I agree with this, and I’m not defending skirting regulations, before rideshare apps, taking taxis was an awful experience. At least half the time, if you try to pay with a credit card, the machine was “broken”, if you wanted to get a ride at a specific time you had to call ahead and hope that a taxi would show up.
Rideshsre apps forced regular taxis to up their game and provide better service, some did and now have their own apps.
I mostly agree. It won’t replace people directly, but it might let companies do more with fewer developers.
Not to say they don’t need anyone, but maybe they get by with 75 instead of 100 developers? Hard to say where that falls because the outcomes if ai usage are so variable based on skill of operator and the target codebase.
There’s value in brevity and clarity, I took two paragraphs and the other was two words. I don’t like it either, but it does seem to be the way most people talk.
Let’s be generous for a moment and assume good intent, how else would you describe the situation where the llm doesn’t consider a negative response to its actions due to its training and context being limited?
Sure it gives the llm a more human like persona, but so far I’ve yet to read a better way to describing its behaviour, it is designed to emulate human behavior so using human descriptors helps convey the intent.
Non developers and non technical people that are already accustomed to bad software, basically following the broken window problem combined with lack of knowledge to do better.
I’m not saying I agree, and I hope saner heads prevail, but I can definitely see the future trending this direction not because it’s best but because it’s easier and maybe cheaper (by some measurement).
I hate that you are right. Giving up electron would likely mean less Linux and mac compatibility. It’s a shame, but it’s likely true.
I have been really enjoying working with Avalonia, it is a .NET library that works across windows, Linux, and Mac and allows you to use C# for desktop app development on those environments. Its what MAUI should have been.
So you’re saying mining crypto is gonna come back into fashion?
While true, a government IDP would still be able to track what sites you’re using your tokens at, which is not great.
I always knew this saying:
as Bart’s Roadside Cafe slogan. Usually seen on plaques in the tourist trap shops in vacation towns.
