I see this phrase thrown around alot and it lacks any substantive evidence. If coding was the easy part why were junior level SWEs getting paid six-figure salaries? People who say coding wasn't the hard part have never…

Now you're just moving the goalpost. I made no comment on the effectiveness of either system, but people here still seem to vastly underestimate the brutality of one over the other.
It's just basic economics. This is true for any service that offers a freemium model and you have more than 1,000 total users. Any time you provide a free tier it's going to have more users than the paid options. I'm…
I mean, China regularly executes its CEOs. The only sweet summer child here is you not understanding how Chinese politics works.
wiretaping an ISP is vastly different from say, ordering and forcing Anthropic or OpenAI to put malicious weights into their models. Not once in my reply did I ever imply the U.S. doesn't perform espionage. Look up Five…
People buy these instead of mac minis because of the pretty design. That's it. Consumers are a lot more irrational than most people give them credit for.
The vast majority of tailnets are just hobbyists on the generous free tier and probably don't use tailscale ssh, but rather ssh over a tailnet. Usually it's either just one person or a family sharing access to the…
> Anthropic is even considered security risk by the US. You and everyone reading this knows that was a political statement, not a technical assessment because a certain SecDef who played fast and loose with Signal chats…
It's much easier for the Chinese government to tell Alibaba they must perform espionage using their models than the US Government. Even if every last engineer there joined the company just for "AI Research and…
Are you proposing putting the RAM or CPU on the server side and keeping GPU client side? I don't see how that would work because you need extremely low latency to coordinate all of these things, and a network barrier is…
I play BF6 on GeForce NOW (got the game before I made the full time switch to Linux) and the latency isn't perceptible at all. I suppose living in a country with extensive fibre optical links and a dedicated nvidia data…
Heavily depends on what your site is trying to accomplish. Marketing sites aren't supposed to be printable because we're very visual creatures. We see before we read, and so something like the iPhone product page…
The more comments I read on HN attempting to rationalize this as "normal behaviour" by banks, the more I believe that this is a massive bubble getting ready to pop
You're right that these two goals are fundamentally incompatible, which means the only possible solution is to remove the clients' hardware from the equation for online competitive games. For as much hate as cloud…

Browser diversity is merely an after-effect of Apple having complete control over iOS, if it was profitable to let Google coup the entire web, they would do it in a heartbeat. It's obvious Apple isn't doing this to…

pick your poison. Splitting repositories multiplies CICD maintenance exponentially and even moreso if you're trying to share private ones that need secret keys to access. I know from experience. No single approach in…
I checked the health app on the phone: > No health data. :)
This is the cost of living in a federated republic. Power is diffuse across the states so they all have different opinions on how to go about things like vehicle registrations and insurance. The only alternative is for…

Let's bring the subject back into focus: This is an example of an LLM being used to search a massive database of scattered text and files. Are you saying LLM's are not suited for searching through text?
You can disagree but the fact is people will take the path of least resistance. I'm not saying we shoudldn't strive for 100% accuracy but we also need to be realistic about what an LLM is. I'd rather we not pretend…
Early on in my career as a software engineer, I was told by my managers that I had to sell my ideas as an elevator pitch to get anywhere. If I couldn't explain why a feature or fix would improve the business, it would…
