I think you guys forget that ultimately the goal of products is to have people use them.

Who is this code helping?

Since when do more dynamic companies win?

Microsoft is doing fine.

You assume lean can express more than it can.

> The average human can't solve a millenium problem in mathematics but the LLMs are able to now.

I think comparing the resources they spent at it would be a more apt comparison.

AKA if you tasked 150 mathematics departments to only focus about that problem, and stop doing things like teaching and researching anything else, you might get close to the amount of resources that these companies put into solving the problem to get a press release.

This one was really nice for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Gently_(TV_series)

(not to be confused with the USA version which is terrible)

I really cannot understand how anyone can like the expanse. It must really be because the really good scifi is a bit old and nobody knows what scifi should be like. Cannot explain it otherwise.

Sure. Where's my rust chromium rewrite then?

Linus is using LLMs
It's almost as if it was already like that.

Signal markets themselves as really secure. It's on them to prove that they are.

No reproducible builds from them when they are now very common is really suspicious.

The rule of law is over.
You know computers have TPM chips yes?
Just don't talk so nobody will steal your communications.
Having signal on fdroid and having it build reproducibly would make me trust it.

As it stands it's a proprietary app with a lot o marketing to convince me otherwise.

> And how did you make sure the port is correct?

I'd ask "did you make sure the port is correct?"

But AI written code is legacy from day one. Since by definition nobody knows or understands what it does.

I doubt these vibe coders understand what you're saying.

Better than the usual endless stream of what your agent did today.
I think this just means we should stop putting smart features on cars.
It just uses the same linux kernel as everyone else. So I don't see what the point of your comment is.
What about senior engineers doing that?
Re:StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month on Thursday October 29, 2026 @06:45AM (#50287005)
For me the main problem was that the level was so incredibly low.

Already when I was writing my master thesis I could get very little out of it.

All of my questions were too specific and went unanswered.

My most voted answer explains how to install header files on debian.

I think you need better network equipment at home.

My provider had given me a remotely managed router. It was trivial to change the configuration and have it work normally.

dpkg --listfiles ca-certificates

Well looks like they should take the hint from a better vendor such as Debian then :)

I trust nothing that came from emsign
Certainly you're aware that every certificate sits in a separate file and an update can just remove the interested files?
