They're just trying things. It's not a conspiracy to "distract" anyone.

Either one will opt you out, you don't need both.

ChatGPT has a billion users so surely not all of the public hates it

Passkeys are auth garbage. Normal users do not benefit from overly complex auth.

I’ve used AWS for almost 20 years and I can tell you it’s more stable than Azure

Is that the claim the OP is making?

Easier to skim 1000 flies from a single drum than 100 flies from 100 bowls of soup.
It doesn't sound like your firm does any diligence that would actually prevent you from buying a vendor that has security flaws.

Your coworkers were probably writing subtle bugs before AI too.

pg_ system tables aren’t built for direct consumption. You typically have to massage them quite a bit to measure whatever statistic you need.
10% is a large drag on the cap table.

Evals.

In this case, they could have QA'd the changes, they just didn't care.

You apply with a human in the loop.

There's zero danger writing Terraform. The danger is running `apply`.
glp-1 inhibitors turn out to be better for alcohol and smoking cessation than any other drug we have. Truly a miracle drug.
Clickhouse earned that reputation. However, it was spun out of Yandex in 2021. That kickstarted a new wave of development and it’s gotten much better.
Re:Ask HN: Is anyone still using Dreamweaver? on Saturday February 22, 2025 @01:54PM (#43141868)
Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Early 2000s Adobe was stacked with web technology. They knew where the world was headed, but didn't quite capture it the right way.

Flash, Shockwave, Dreamweaver, Macromedia Homesite, Fireworks, Coldfusion, Adobe AIR, LiveMotion, Actionscript 3.0, MXML, Flex.

They shipped so much software, it's incredible.

Re:A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate on Tuesday February 18, 2025 @11:48PM (#43098692)
You can specify platform specific wheels in your pyproject.toml

    [[tool.uv.index]]
    name = "pytorch-cu124"
    url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124"
    explicit = true
    [[tool.uv.index]]
    name = "pytorch-cpu"
    url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"
    explicit = true
    [tool.uv.sources]
    torch = [
    { index = "pytorch-cu124", marker = "platform_system != 'Darwin'" },
    { index = "pytorch-cpu", marker = "platform_system == 'Darwin'" },
    ]
This is classic innovators dilemma.

Coaches and owners are not rewarded for innovation. Fans strongly discourage taking bets that could fail.

And then there’s preparing for the strategy change. Training, practice, and coaching time is extremely limited. How much do you re-allocate to this new approach? You don’t just tell players to take more 3s, it’s more complicated than that.

So in traditional innovators dilemma fashion, it’s much easier to follow when you see that the new way works. It’s easier to convince everyone (fans, coaches, players, owners) to get on board when you can point to Steph Curry doing it right.

I watched when it was originally aired, but never came back to it. It didn't come together in the end in a satisfying way.
