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.

> And this is where the value is for me: I can simply make things higher quality than I could do them alone.

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?

We've made a decision: we prefer to continue having this world (and all its conveniences including steak multiple times a week and flying for cheap) and lose it soon-ish than move to another one right now with less access to... stuff.

And the only way we can have it differently is with violence, which nobody wants. So we'll walk to the abyss together.

The Buddy3D camera has a firmware update recently, now it can RTSP stream inside your LAN and you can force day/night detection. Also, it saves timelapses to a local microSD. Still not super cheap, but yeah.

Seems like he was angry that he had to have his luggage checked on his private plane, like everyone else. (In Portuguese https://eco.sapo.pt/2025/05/26/ceo-da-cloudflare-tera-estado...)

Why is this irony? One is being done out in the open and the other was unknown for years, so unless "the far left" knew about the defeat devices, this is a false dichotomy.

It's really weird to vent on socials like this without specific asks. Makes him look whiny (ie https://x.com/eastdakota/status/1926750112757273065)

These people hate the idea of the public interest, and want to see everything replaced with a privately owned counterpart.

Ah yes, "cancel culture" - formerly known as "consequences".

I see this as an absolute win - EU tech businesses get bolstered, and we no longer depend on the country that apprehends tourists[1] or denies entry to scientists because their social media has unfavorable opinions about their great leader[2]. Call it whiny, I call it common sense.

Do you have any evidence that it's been used less and less?

Telling that you think this is happening just because their products are available in the EU and not because they were "acting in a way that gave it a significant advantage over competitors" as the EU claims.

This seems to be a Chrome app, since I can't get it to work on Firefox

That's the thing all these "easy bake recipe for success" blog posts miss: it's all about the people. I've been in companies with the exact same processes and wildly different outcomes because staff was more competent (which includes soft skills) and experienced.

But that is anathema to tech companies that think having the right X (agile, Spotify guilds, kanban, etc.) will fix everything because that's what they sell to end users.

The Dems exist to give you an illusion of choice. This has gone down exactly as planned, or why do you think rich donors play both sides? Do you really think the Dems are this naive and keep messing up without it being on purpose?

The opinion makers know if it wasn't this close there'd be visible backlash.

You're not meeting the people hurt really bad by the system who stopped giving a shit, and a lot of people that vote for Trump had Harris/Waltz signs on their lawns but really want to pay less in taxes and don't like transgender people.

Good to see someone with an actual plan to roll out affordable EVs. Too bad it's BYD, the knock-on effects on Tesla and VW Group will not be pretty. I mean, unless the US and EU tariff the hell out of imports. Australia doesn't care, since they don't car makers anymore after Holden's demise (right?).
