How is SBD like any of those?

Doesn't have to be for literal ever, just not until we (humans) blow ourselves up - if we don't achieve AGI until then, that's effectively ever. And you could gamble we'll blow ourselves up or make the planet uninhabitable before AGI.

The alternative is to "turn in a good paper" which is not quantifiable and thus anathema to the modern Taylorism inspired world of education. If the student can't agree, it's a problem and so word count it is - can't argue with basic math.

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

Absolutely right.

I don't think they read all of it. Probably just metadata. But would be good to know what's being sent.

I assume for the same reason the OS pings Cupertino when you run a binary - surveillance, masquerading as protection.

It's sad that this can be true because if you did them alone the quality would be non-existent.

"Naming strategies for servers" seems like a big enough niche for there to exist a compendium somewhere already, but I couldn't find a good one.

This was submitted by a bot :D I subscribe to Fabien's RSS and he must have changed something in the server because I got this post on my RSS reader (again, as it's an old post), and here it is submitted to HN (again)

How many apartments were $300/m in 1970?

I assume there's just too much money in optimizing for the thing that works now and making it faster than in risking it all on unproven approaches.

The promise of AI gains with fewer people is what's triggering this - before, you needed ~1 coder to do ~1 unit of work. Suits now think you only need 1 coder to do X units of work because LLMs.

So no, they couldn't do the same thing years ago.

They're laying off the people who can't produce a minimum of 2x with AI, and keeping the maximalists with no life outside of work barely keeping up with the 100k LOC a week they're shipping to prod.

Suits have an idea of what the New Model Coder should be, and it's not people who don't burn through 100,000,000 tokens a week.

Thanks for the blog post, interesting read. Question: why run `hugo serve` instead of using it to build the files and then use nginx or some other webserver?
