External partners don't trust the AI companies I think to not steal their work and the partner's moat

what about them?
Re:A native graphical shell for SSH on Monday June 29, 2026 @03:48PM (#48724222)
that seems a little harsh. I think there is a real usability gap which this takes a crack at.

Some ideas like using viewing a linux dir over _ssh_ using native UI components.. seem cool.

I do agree, some of these do seem like they have already been solved in other ways (like an sshfs mount).

it will only get cheaper in the long run

Re:Translating 10M lines of Java to Kotlin on Saturday December 21, 2024 @08:39PM (#42483812)
I think its great for recruiting. This signals to the world their investment in making Devs happier (one of top two reasons mentioned was "devs were happier with Kotlin")

well it could be a lot cheaper to hire the AI model instead of a human?

> You need to wait a bit before you can start faithfully translating the meaning

I guess it's possible that the AI learns about a specific person over time? That way it can be confident about what's being said as soon the person starts saying it

Re:The quantum state of a TCP port on Monday March 20, 2023 @12:35PM (#35234200)
But wouldn't the same issue apply to user-space TCP implementations too? User-space TCP implementations too could have "path-dependent sequence of accidents" which a power user might eventually need to figure out?

where did you end up going? I love Austin but its a little too hot during the summer.
Re:Introducing ChatGPT Plus on Wednesday February 01, 2023 @02:33PM (#34616273)
I think getting customers to sign up is the hardest part. Next they could start adding opt-in features (probably already in the works?) which cost an extra few dollars a month each?
Re:Avoid exception throwing in performance-sensitive code on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @09:51PM (#34089137)
I'm a little disappointed that the author doesn't explain why throwing the exception is much slower.
Re:Laying myself off from Amazon on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @09:00PM (#33633959)
But the problem is, fixing existing broken stuff might not be rewarded as much as working on the "new feature". This means that if I focus on just fixing the broken stuff, I'd be managed out. Even say I put in the extra effort to fix the broken stuff, and deliver my new features, other thousands of engineers won't do that same- meaning I can't make a meaningful dent.

(i dont work for amazon, but I can imagine it's similar everywhere)

hmm you expect to see 300,000GB or 300TB per node? What does that mean?

hmm.. what does that mean? I can be refused a loan if I forget to unfreeze before applying?

Re:IPv6 support for cloning Git repositories from GitHub on Wednesday August 24, 2022 @12:28PM (#32581772)
This is sad :( hetzner charges extra for ipv4 address, and this means I couldn't run `git clone` without paying extra.
thank you!

I'm curious, how would you support this usecase?

Their website says

Wow how would they do that?

that interesting. I can concentrate when Im hungry- I get cranky.

"RedShift was apparently named very deliberately as a nod to Oracle’ trademark red branding"

I listed to the Heavy Networking packet pushers episode on this (https://packetpushers.net/podcast/heavy-networking-596-weapo...) was fascinating! shout out to this podcast, really great quality content!
What if it crashes into someone, wouldn't you be responsible then?
