iPhone or MacBook purchases are expensive enough to trigger fraud detection reliably. A $19.99 adult content purchase less likely to.
It's not just stolen credit cards, though. Adult content purchases have another problem where purchasers often deny having made the purchase when their significant other finds it on the credit card statement. Shaggy's "It wasn't me" defense.
GitLab has been around for a while and still is far, far behind Github. A little bit of downtime at GH isn't gonna change a team that failed to grab meaningful marketshare. The lack of a lousy competitor isn't GitLab's problem - it's their lack of vision and product offerings.
A bit of marketing would do nothing. Companies don't move their entire git organization for a bit of marketing.
Actually there’s a change to dotnet 9 with how it handles the heap and GC which caused major issues for us.
I’ll confess the reason it hit us so hard is because the code quality was so low and wasteful on allocations that it didn’t hide the problem as well as previous versions.
I don’t get the conflict? I want ai to write code I can read and check before pushing. I also want AI to do research and present results in a way I can review and make the final decision.
I don’t want AI to buy something without any way to audit its thought process or show primary source evidence. This is exactly the same as my stance for code.
Personally while I don't think what Bambu's doing is great, it's not like there aren't a dozen manufacturers that can generally match their printers at similar pricepoints, and don't have these issues
Agree. The characterization makes it seem like somebody's trying that extra attention on social media. It's sad that we're at the point where everything has to be hyperbolic
And it doesn't look good. This has me call into question the caliber of developer who made the fork. No sane open source project would allow this to be upstreamed in this shape
> Principally if you sell a device with a certain functionality and you later modify that device later to remove that functionality that is called theft.
Factually, it is not. Maybe you think it should be prohibited -- as I also do.
But the proper legalese here is likely a consumer protection regulation.
Most nations can coerce information from corporate entities within their nation, even information that corporation holds outside said country. To what extents that coercion can hold will of course vary by local laws, customs and the people in charge. The US has a fairly large media footprint, not to mention it's actual physical size and outsized influence even then. So it is more covered and visible.
Inside the US, the biggest concerns similarly come with China, which I consider a bigger risk. For better or worse, if you're inside the US, you're probably better off holding as much of your presence as you can inside the US as EU requirements can actually be more harmful than helpful in terms of compliance. There are also certain protections and resistance you can take to less than formal (judicial warrant) requests. Only because if you hold an online presence in the EU, and are forced to violate EU laws, then you're in trouble on both sides.
I would assume similar in most cases, though the EU confederation is something I'm far less familiar with where national laws and EU laws conflict, etc. I'm more familiar with US state to federal structures.
Is it a geometric problem, like every point must reside within the plane? Are you optimizing also, like finding the smallest bounding box that includes the most points? You can usually express these as global constraints, like non-overlapping intervals, or you can use these to precompute feasible candidates rather than manually encoding giant matrices that contain knowable bad values.
I'm not a professional engineer, but used my technical background and Claude Code to build an effective customer intel system that I'd previously had 1-2 people do in previous revenue organizations.
I'm also saving money not using one-off AI summary features in my SaaS tools, and now have context and a centralized view that is and read/write with our CRM.
I think we'll eventually be generating machine code directly. But until then we should be using code that our team can actually read and understand. If you know go, then that works you, Not everyone does.
> I don't really want to talk to the computer despite what 1950's sci-fi books led us to believe.
I'll talk to a computer, even in an office setting, if it adds enough value. But it's got to be a lot of value. Handsfree while driving is great, Iron Man talking to Jarvis while he's flying around makes sense. Many of us here are developers, engineers, or scientists, and our work has already been co-optimized with mouse and keyboard and whatever software we're in.
But when the software is less well-developed, or when it's not just dealing with technical data dumps, I imagine that a voice interface might be more useful.
So I think this idea has legs. But a successful implementation might also well be decades out.
