It may be not "generated", as in it's a true story, but the writing is AI.

Yeah, unbearable AI-writing at a level not seen often, it's like the author purposely asked it to be even more bloated than usual.

maybe at 7 and 10 they shouldn't use device connected to the internet without your active supervision at all? What will they miss?

To all here saying this is was only a pilot error. I'll ask you, do you also think it is only a programmer error when a critical memory-safety bug is introduced in C? And that they should be the only one responsible and face jail-time (or death, like here)? Or is there more at play? Why use C in safety-critical code, why wasn't it catched by reviewers, fuzzing, testing, etc ?

Error is not binary, it's a statistic. Even perfectly trained pilots/programmers do make errors depending on the situation. What you should ask is what the error chance is, and if it acceptable.

As the accident report shows, the exact same pitot tube failure happened at least 15 times and recovered by the pilots. The 16th time, it killed more than two hundred people. Do you think a 1/16 chance of dying is appropriate in modern aviation safety?

I just want to say I haven't read a blog post with that slicked design in a very long time, refreshing to see, and cool project, albeit niche.

I thought you were joking, unfortunately you weren't. Money really has no taste.

What would be the required budget to host an alternative registry? I'm surprised any GAFAM still hasn't stepped-in and started building their alternative, at least for NPM to up its game in order not to become completely irrelevant.

I was going to ask how this world is not bot overrun, but I saw that instead players need to pay to get access? (Which is probably the only viable way to keep batting manageable).

Does it mean botting there is just pay-to-win?

For me Svelte and LLM completely removed my need for Tailwind. Turns out I was using it primarily to avoid CSS collision, and (to me) more logical syntax, rather than the self-imposed constraints.

Concretely, how are you going to manage PR reviews? Even with today’s staff they are very slow (weeks for a round of NITS at a time), so with more developers leaving they’re going to explode and further discourage external contributors.

Unfortunately this isn't all black-and-white. There are some bug bounty where the company is very eager not to pay any bounty, aggressively marking vulnerabilities as out-of-scope or working-as-intended.

In those case you already lose time, but in the future you would also lose money.

Unfortunately you don't know how a company will react before submitting, especially if it's a small one.

> or asking OpenAI where they get data to train their models

Yes I know it comes from pirating/torrenting/scrapping. Are you saying you acknowledge your IPs come from malware, and that is OK because OpenAI is shady too?

Do they say how do they have access to those IPs? Most residential IPs are malware-infected devices.

It shows that the choices/philosophy chosen by Zig isn’t the right one and that memory safety is still too boring/hard to handle at scale.

can you expand on what makes you think being too decentralised is a negative?

It’s also a free product for most.

The article skip over the results? Did the design succeeded? Which hardware do miner uses, and is it evenly distributed? Can I mine Monero on potato hardware?

> [To lib authors] Nobody is obviously in charge in the way a fast-moving production team would mean "in charge," and that creates understandable hesitation around making breaking changes, even when experience has taught us better ways to design these systems.

> This is not a complaint about volunteer maintainers. It is simply one of the ambient risks of building serious systems on a smaller ecosystem.

And so instead of paying the lib authors who already have domain expertise and know their codebase, they chose to rewrite it from scratch/fork without contributing back. So classic.

Honest question, does Uber need that much R&D? And do they expect the ROI to be positive?

Patches / PR

> It’s probably the core reason developers choose GitHub as their main git forge. I get it. It does have it’s advantages of giving a better experience for reviewing a set of changes. Initially. But what if I told you there was a time when submitting email-based patches was the standard for version control?

The author explains well how you can bear with patches, but not why patches were chosen in the first place. What advantages do they have over PR? I see none, and I won't lose my precious time working-around an inferior process to Github's already subpar PR one.

use tmux.

This should really what LLM ought to bring in terms of security. Be able to break things faster considering it is now easier for the maintainers to fix them.

This has downsides of course, moving further into the "everything rot so fast these days" trope, but we will in a adversarial world where the threat is constantly evolving.

Tomorrow (today) the servers and repo won't be scanned by scripts anymore but by increasingly capable models with knowledge about more security issues than many searchers.

You missed the tongue-in-cheek.

And the migrations. Or rather all the half-started migrations that never get through meaning you have to deal with api v1,2,3 all the times.

Those are pervasive in any old and large project but in my experience especially so in compilers.

I’ve never understood why insider insight was forbidden, the point of prediction market is betting on the outcome based on information you have.

Is that ‘fair’ for everyone? No! Because no everyone has access to the same level of information. But no one forces you to bet either.

because most buildings are too old to have an underground garage, at least in Western Europe.

> 99.9% of use cases of EVs can charge at home/work/shop

This is yet again a very US-centric view where you assume people are living in house with a garage.

It's a good news to me considering their open-source nature. If/when they go downhill there will be still the option to fork, and the previous work will still have been funded.

Now for those wondering who would fork and maintain it for free, that is more of a critic of FOSS in general.
