Isn’t this still true for the large language models and math is detected and handled by an external tool? Anything you can give as a source for the latest state of the art?

One reason is that AI can create PRs at a scale that can just overwhelm maintainers not to mention drowning out non-AI PRs.

Why can’t people add a disclaimer when their text was written or edited with AI? That is my completely unrealistic wish for the world today…

Definitely goes back earlier for software. See the Mythical Man Month… Growing a team imposes a communication cost.

This account seems like LLM slop looking at the post history. Who starts every post ‘from Japan’?

I don’t want to interact with hidden chat bots on HN. The irony of this comment about accountability is also frustrating.

Merry Christmas hackers!

New comment by schwede in "Lessons from the PG&E outage"

Sending power outage context to the vehicles does not seem like enough of a response. I hope at least they have internal plans for more. For large, complex systems, you want multiple layers of protections. The response feels way too reactive when they could use this incident to guide improvements across the board.

Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but it seems like a software engineer or SRE familiar with the application should be able to come to the conclusion of load testing fairly easily. For sure not as fast like 80 seconds though which is impressive. As noted you still need an engineer to review the data and complete those proposed action items.

New comment by schwede in "Avoiding the soft delete anti-pattern"

I think the idea is you could still have a page in the UI that shows archived data but you wouldn’t do that normally with a soft delete. The lifecycle thing makes it up front with the user instead of hiding soft delete as an implementation detail.

What was the password length? How many iterations were used?

In Visual Studio if you drag the execution arrow up, it will rewind to that point. It works really well. It’s okay especially useful when you step over a line you wanted to step into instead.

New comment by schwede in "Remove YC “[company] is hiring” ads on HN"

schwede — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 04:22:45 +0000

I hate ads but in all fairness those posts are the most ideal kind of ad. Eg. It’s targeted by virtue of the website, not by harvested user data

I think it’s in poor taste to theme your site to look like HN. Feels a little close to phishing.

Wireshark can pick up any traffic on your WiFi network so they could run something similar.

To me it’s an issue if Apple refuses to stop if a particular business asks them to. That seems like an easy measuring stick.

The GPS constellation.

New comment by schwede in "No YAML"

My interpretation is that since json is JavaScript Object Notation, JS objects can clearly have comments so why limit their usage in json?

Is this the client or the self hosted server? The page doesn’t make that clear.

Too much focus on the individuals and not enough focus on the systematic problem, at least according to the author.

I would like see their research proposal to answer some of these questions. That probably won’t happen though.
