The problem is as usual, users. AI for maintenance (updating & testing deps, re-writing parts to run with next major version of lib) is pretty low error % and just need some supervision and can make it more effective, in hands of people already familiar with project

But the flipside is of course users that are clueless won't now be stopped by "can't make a PR", they will throw prompt at AI and send it when the AI decides it's good enough


well according to post, coz they are very similar. but xwayland doubles it

which is still half a frame at best so I think any blame here would be just on a particular game being slow on inputs


It took that long because nothing it does now was ever a requirement. It was created as serial/parallel port replacement (fun fact - max speed parallel port is faster than USB 1.1, at ~2.5MB/s).

If we designed it now it would be up to 48V from the get go, USB-PD only (there is zero reason for static modes aside from fallback 5V for simple gadgets) and be just a PCIe transport . USB to HDMI could just be a single chip that does PCIe framebuffer device.


> What are the chances that I could find the exact charger needed for a GameBoy Colour?

Someone's trying to talk about stuff they never used, experienced or googled ever.

But yeah game boy advance cable is $2.5 one day delivery here in Poland


AND IGNORED IT

also worth noting that Vega-Lite is literally just fucking that and AI already does good job with producing JSONs for it

I work with someone who did a lot of work with this to improve our ability to generate awesome visualizations with little thinking. It's a very powerful language but needs guardrails and guidance, particularly if you want end users to be able to produce consistent and standardized visualizations without knowing anything about it.

Also guidelines sent to the agent may or may not get ignored if they are just part of the context :(

A little bit more than that! Here shows why a higher-level abstraction can be helpful for chart generation: https://github.com/microsoft/flint-chart#features

why would AI agent not run with user permission instead of essentially root

> Tan/AI built the website so that when a user visits, their browser makes 169 server requests for various assets totaling 6.42 megabytes in size.

No, no, that's just average day of frontend development


> If you asked me to build a house, I could probably assemble something that would stand for a few months. Hopefully. It might even keep the rain out. But it might also fall on my head, because I do not know enough about building houses to be confident that it won’t.

Oh no. You'd go and research that, look at existing stuff, read about it, look at tutorials and while still making a ton of mistakes at least try to follow best practices.

People don't do that when they use AI to do task unfamiliar with them. They look at it working and just okay it the moment it "looks okay". They don't even ask the AI followup questions, just accept whatever


OpenSSH thankfully cares little for corporate security theathre

But I can sympathise, our stuff got flagged in audit because we foolishly assumed that some requirement was checked by just having OpenSSH "new enough",but it turned out that RedHat for that RHEL version patched back some old considered insecure primitives to keep their customers happy...


It would be nice to have defaults that are following regulations because it sucks to have and maintain explicit list. If it would be a simple toggle - secureciphersonly=yes sure, but listing them is just creating tech debt.

aka FIPS.
