<p>Similar for me. One was for an overly very well paid position. I always run (p)npm audit before running npm repos, so lots of issues were found. I tried to fix them but I would have gone over the time limit. So I asked the recruiter about it and if it makes sense to run it in an isolated VM. No answer...<p>The other was for a DevEx crypto service. While I was very suspicious the code looked okay but the recruiter was strange and changed their profile to a different person eventually. I think this was a crypto stealing scam though since it required connecting to a wallet. I don't have any crypto though, so I might be okay for now. Although reinstalling my system clean would be the only sure way in theory...</p>

<p>> Carpet bombing of cities, towns, villages or other areas containing a concentration of protected civilians has been considered a war crime since 1977, through Article 51 of Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_bombing" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_bombing</a><p>Autonomous weapons have hardly been deployed yet, maybe at the Inner Korean border or some lunatic's backyard. Therefore I don't think there is any legislation for it yet. But it seems a very cruel way of killing, also considering in this particular case they didn't even send footage back. What kind of experiment was this? Maybe they didn't like to see the brutality, perhaps people begging for mercy not to be killed, giving up and showing a white flag. Indeed this isn't possible with carpet-bombing.</p>

<p>Thanks, I was interested at this point ;) Yeah I don't know, the other PR is from April. Not saying AI cannot be useful. On the other hand this is a "well studied" problem. Last year I worked on a project where I mostly stopped using draft PRs because the team lead (or his AI) was stealing my code all the time :D</p>

<p>So I'm scrolling through this Ask HN and this is now the 3rd similar problem. Would you mind adding more details as well as the patch?

<p>It's very strange to think about this in the current context. Anything P2P used to be the Anti Christ of the Software Industry. The lengths Microsoft and game vendors went to prevent copying is insane. Installing Windows as well as various Higher End software is a huge pain because of this.<p>On the other hand Microsoft is very much leading with OpenAI in vacuuming any content, stripping effectively copyright claims.<p>That being said, nowadays the only use case for me to use Pirate Bay is when I cannot get a movie elsewhere. I'd pay for it but it's not possible - because of copyright...</p>

<p>I used to work with a small Aviation-related software company. There it was really not like this, the boss made jokes about it. On the other hand engineering-wise things were done really differently: no branches, fail fast, only e2e tests etc. Probably the rift between small companies and corporate culture also applies here.</p>

<p>It's a German website but zeit.de. At least the last time I checked. Looking into Firefox reveals almost 8 MB for loading the front page. One could easily skip this as an exception but it's one of the 2 large weekly news magazines in Germany. Also since it's part of a publishing house, I assume other publications of them might be using the same system.</p>

<p>The modern web very much goes by the Pareto principle. But what's almost impossible to digest without full-fledged machinery are some News websites. The complexity of running ads and gdpr flows is just out of this world. It even dwarfs social media websites in that regard.</p>

<p>GitHub indeed used to be a undisputably good entity. Now I whenever I push something non-trivial I wonder if some AI will take my code without credit.<p>I don’t mind the lower availability to be honest but I also noticed it.<p>To be fair I don’t add new code on GitHub for my own private projects anymore. Public projects of course profit from the network effect but there must be a better way. Before GitHub people also did well, Linux, many well known GNU projects etc. were created without GitHub.</p>

<p>Physicist here: usually bin size is adjusted to change the interval over which you average. Also rpm is the unit if you want to pin it down to a single number<p>If writing rpm is too long, there's also a trick: write "requests/rpm:"<p>That means: requests measured in rpm. Thus afterwards you can write single numbers which is even shorter</p>

<p>I think this may be selection bias. People asking anonymously (edit: for relationship advice) on Reddit perhaps even with a throwaway account are likely in a desperate situation. So hardly to be compared with the _average_ real life situation. Thus 1. chances are running is a good option and 2. also considering even in 2026 AI still essentially is a statistical machine that doesn’t handle corner-cases at the tails well.<p>Anecdotally as I’ve thoroughly worked and used AI myself. It performs best with google-able stuff that is needle-in-the-haystick like and worst with personal and work advice. The main problem I see is that it’s tempting to use it for that.</p>

<p>I think it's quite embarrassing that the WWW exists since more than 3 decades and still there's no mechanism for privacy friendly approval for adults apart from sending over the whole ID. Of course this is a huge failure of governments but probably also of W3C which rather suggests the 100,000th JavaScript API. Especially in times of ubiquitous SSO, passkeys etc. The even bigger problem is that the average person needs accounts at dozens if not hundreds of services for "normal" Internet usage.<p>That being said, this is a 1 bit information, adult in current legislation yes/no.</p>
