hmm maybe if we wait longer, LLMs will learnt to be like "none-em-dashers", and we "em-dashers" will prevail?

hmm? maybe it differs from time to time? on summer, it IS cost (nearby need to run AC)

well deno has the stuff... but deno's not popular (yet)

idk maybe java should adopt something similar to rust's "edition"?

security-wise, usb-c is the worst scenario device I've ever seen -- unless you're Apple, you can't make a security-boundary without infringing patent US11205021B2

for laptops, a bad-actor usb-c cable/charger can do so much more, unless your laptop has AI that can distinguish "is this signal really coming from monitor/keyboard/etc ?" I'd rather have plain-old DC adapters (or usbc to dc)

yeah if the article was about "helping the infantry", then I would have 100% agreed.

but... drones? that's just yellow journalism optimized for SEO keyword (and anyone who clicks an article with 'drone')

those predators and friends are really high-altitude drones, and for them these low-altitude (human) level pics don't give them any advantage

well the article writes AS IF the whole intention was to:

"get data for drone warfare" ...in 2021 (before the russian invasion...)

but did we even EXPECT drone warfare to influence the war THIS MUCH back then?

well not me -- I actually thought russia would beat the crap out of ukraine within a month (even after the failed spetsnaz attack on zelensky)

the article's assumptions only makes sense IF some people had time machines, or if CIA has some know-everything future prophet

(not to mention: drones need TOP TO BOTTOM view, not bottom-to-top view)

anyway, my verdict: sensational yellow journal article, nothing more/less

hmm maybe time to get into deno?

I mean, the current "allow ANY filesys operation" can't cope with modern supply-chain attacks...

with deno, you can specify folders/files that the execuble/library CAN touch (or CANNOT)

for other cases, I can just wait more for my cpu/gpu/cloud to do the job

idk maybe LLM people should only commit what they actually understand, only in bite-size (maximum few lines in few files) and with at least 1~5 tests that shows the edge cases

drive-by 20-file pull-requests that ultimately end up costing maintainer's burden seems to hit hard here.

well datacenters should go near power plants or cool mountain areas

for ML training loads, it just doesn't make sense to build them near residential areas for few millisecs
