This.100%. As people often lucky enough to work in niche sectors where users care to about the tiniest details we forget sometimes the majority of "stuff" out there exists without a soul already. Think of boring document templates, shop signs, cheap clothing designs, etc. And to he honest AI will probably raise the bar for all that stuff by a lot. Ofc like you mentioned it'll sometimes lead to misleading content (eg made up food pictures in menus), but if that happens that'll just be a byproduct of the service provider and consumers not caring enough to make that have an impact on the underlying business.

It should become a win/win mechanism where communities are rewarded for high quality, human driven validation of LLMs, and vendors gain for bragging rights about their models being highly-skilled-human-approved. Still don't know why this isn't becoming a thing.

The only way to build a non toxic company is to have a good culture of cherry picking non toxic individuals all the way from the board of investors.

> We could change the fs layer to memcached but so far it's working great.

This so much. (Ab)Using a db table as a k/v store + the FS can do so much before even considering paying the price of setting up a dedicated caching store. I’ve fought countless foes in the engineering world when proposing solutions like yours just because (incompetent) people feel like caching should live in its dedicated store.

How?

Tbh I'll wait for first party LLM providers to build this kind of stuff. If they're not first class citizens they end up corrupting the workflow more than enriching it.

Incredibile how web development fell to the point of people making a big deal out of a repository of working examples of UI components.

Finally somebody said it. Thanks.

My2c. Fintech tech lead who has only a far memory of hand coding games ages ago. Community makes tech awesome. Love2D discord changed my life. Never met a more awesome and welcoming community in my whole life.

Chi-fi IEMs. People have no idea what sound quality can be achieved under 100$.

Let's hope not.

It's also a way to prevent LLMs to get trained on their data without their consent.

As a Neapolitan, I spit on his face everytime I see it depicted somewhere.

Imagine not trashing it for no valid reason in the first place, saving the useless effort to ditch it and then resume it shortly after.

Sometimes nothing is better than something. $5 for 512mb of RAM is something I regret witnessing.

Pushed for my company to adopt TigerBeetle for its foundational service rewrite recently and couldn't be happier with the experience we're having so far.

Why are we still trying to get C++ to become a viable choice instead of calling it a day and moving on?

I guess it's my old theory that organisations turn into living beings and start living off of mere survival instinct even past the point of serving any purpose to society.

IMO only GCP (+ Cloudflare, unrelated) is actually down, the rest are trolls.

At this point I don’t know if I must assume people are trolling or the entire internet is down.

… Proceeds to show worldwide degraded service level alerts.

Genuinely curious here: do people actually still use Heroku?

It's simply clickbait

Perplexity at this point like that single uncle shooting his shot with anything breathing.

Most universities nowadays have turned into degree mills anyway.

I always stand very far from conspiracy theories and just think that, like living organisms, organisations tend to turn into sentient organisms that just strive to stay alive driven by survival instinct.

That’s the only way I can explain how a handful of people I know get paid to publish papers of no value, who are not going to be read by anybody outside of their tight circle, and they don’t even care about (I hear a lot of “that’s the bullsh#t we gotta do to get paid”s). Most unis where I live behave just like parasite organisms living on top of a host that they try to get the most out of, economically speaking.

The fact that the threshold of decency drops below any reasonable level is just a byproduct of the hosts requiring unis to adapt to their requests (political hires, needlessly overinclusive politics, bar-lowering acceptance criteria), and at this point I don’t expects universities to stand on any ground whatsoever in the name of protecting culture and education.

People overestimate faang. There are many talents working there, sure, but a lot of garbage gets pumped into their codebases as well.

I have a custom bash function named "backup_branch" that does exactly that, along with "restore_backup" and "delete_backups". It's made my life 10x simpler.
