Yeah, I gave up trying to find productivity uses for the copilot in office because of limitations like that.
If I was to speculate, this is the result of "rank n' yank" where the performative productivity is more important than actual productivity. If true it says something about why AI is pushed hard by Microsoft, it make…
Well you aren't writing the code, the AI is and you are letting the AI debug that created it in the first place and it doesn't learn from the experience in the same way. Hopefully you understand the problem in such a…
So, they still booked up all the ram and ssd in the world and still going to use gigawatts of power. The price of energy production is not going to go down 20x and 30x it just means that they can cram in more inference…
Well from my point of view. When they talk about gigawatt datacenters, then yes it is economically nonviable. You just need to know the scale of a gigawatt to realize that we need to start building power plants and…
They have made huge investments into hardware so everyone is getting more expensive hardware, and now begging everyone else to make their investments worthwhile. Don't mind that they are driving up prices for hardware…
Fun fact about BSTR, it uses memory before the string pointer to store the length. From the CComBSTR documentation from microsoft: "The CComBSTR class is a wrapper for BSTRs, which are length-prefixed strings. The…
I'm dumbstruck that Crowstrike exists with George Kurtz still at the helm. There is no accountability at all. Kurtz was CTO of McAfee when their update caused back in 2010. Why does these things keep following him?
I'm old as dirt but I recall one of the arguments for TPM was shoved down our throats was the ability to tie documents to machines and organizations. Something something... industrial espionage. Now we know that is a…
A crypto library is "essential complexity" and running a node.js runtime inside a container in kubernetes node in a virtual machine on a server owned by a hyperscalar cloudprovider is "accidental complexity". I'll take…
When skimming through the report I got to think of the oscillation problem in RIP routing protocol. Although it isn't the same thing, but it shows the complexity of the problem to anyone who thinks there is a single…
I've harped on this before: the problem is that the ads if they are fraudulent or harmful in other ways and the companies making money when presenting deserve get their shit blocked. Especially if they can target ads to…
Do you have a link to the post (or posts) from Michael O. Church? I have a vague recollection of the idea but I would like to reread it with what I know today!
> Crash dump analysis has traditionally been one of the most technically demanding and least enjoyable parts of software development. I for one enjoy crashdump analysis because it is a technically demanding rare skill.…
In my view it is about design that requires taste and creativity. Engineering is about function, design is about form. If I build something that solves a problem but if it isn't well designed it can mean that no one…
Watching this only a few videos and it made me profoundly sad. It is a loss of authenticity, everything online now feels fake compared to this.
Companies do what they always do. It isn't the first time a organization sees something trendy, say that they adopt it and just renames their old processes to with what is trendy and doesn't change one damn thing. It…
You haven't followed my argument, so I'll break it down for you. There are ads on YouTube that prey on vulnerable people as per the original post. I came with a small clip in a larger video that YouTube has these…
Look I know I'm screaming in the wind here. It is a comment on the state of YouTube ads. It's not that I have an illusion that someone in the hierarchy of Google is going to read my comments and take decisions that…
The scale of paid content is much smaller than the general youtube scale. And they already have a categorization for it. Of course you could lie about the categorization of what you pay to YouTube to show unsuspecting…
Because YouTube takes money deliberately from criminals an ad supported version of Netflix would hardly have Get-Rich-Quick schemes advertised which you need to pay to avoid. Make no mistake, I've seen criminal scammer…
So I should just give up, have a talk about media habits with my parents and if they don't want to change, just hand YouTube the money? You freely admit that it is designed to be this bad and by giving them money…
So basically I'm supposed to pay protection money? Yeah, I don't give into extortion...
Yeah if it is updated chrome plugin which Google of course delayed update on.
As it turns out there is a whole category in YouTubes ad system for Get-Rich-Quick schemes, as detailed out in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkhGJUTW3ag&t=1031s (timestamped at the relevant time). Just…
