Don’t give a f*ck about the UKs laws. Don’t like it, the UK should block ME.

They’re opt-out and can be disabled in the settings or fully disabled in about:config. Definitely annoying but not enough to make me switch to a Chromium based browser.

I loved writing C++ back in the day, C++98 was peak.

I couldn’t fathom starting a new project with whatever the current C++ is now.

I’m a btop user how is it gamified? If by “gamified” thy mean “looks like something you would see in a video game (or movie)” then yeah tha tracks but that’s not what “gamified” typically means…

Sure let’s just centralize hardware attestation to Microsoft’s cloud tied to a Microsoft account with keys you can’t change what could possibly go wrong?

This is all publicly documented by Microsoft you just need to translate their doublespeak.

Google is doing does the exact same thing and people were sounding the alarms when they did it but Microsoft gets a pass?

Use ChaGPT to outsource your critical thinking for you because I’m not gonna do it.

It’s not like these things aren’t publically documented by Microsoft.

You just need to be able to translate their doublespeak.

Surely the government would never lie.

She said the quiet part out loud? This was always the play, it is obvious. Too big to fail. National security concerns. China/Russia veer scary. Blah blah blah.

Altman’s libertarian pontification is so obviously insincere it’s laughable.

More.

All of the brainpower is going into AI.

Im expecting a future where we dont have “pages” on the internet anymore, but its just the backbone for generative AI content and if you want to promote your brand you need to pay the AI providers to put your content in responses.

Eventually, the entire notion of “searching the web” will be seem as archaic as the rotary phone.

just get a vm on something like Vultr and install postgres on it

80% of my engineering department was off shored and the results are exactly what you’d expect.

Would love to know which LLMs you’re using because every single one I’ve used has been hot garbage that can’t do anything beyond joining a couple tables and fails miserably at basic GROUP BY/COUNT aggregates. Window functions? Fuggetaboutit

Many many years ago, I simply bought the O’Reilley SQL pocket guide, skimmed through it, read the section about Window Functions and that marked the start of a moment in my career that changed my life forever.
