I don’t like the term “clever” in code, because sometimes it means “I’m too dumb to understand it”. Simply don’t touch clever code, unless you really understand it.

Best example is the fast inverse square root function in Quake. Yeah… it’s clever, but replace it by simple maths and let Quake have performance problems.

On the other hand, using AI for more than assisted coding is never clever. Some day some fuck will use it in medicine and will actually kill people. AI is not at fault here! It’s the programmer who killed a patient in this case by being irresponsible and lazy.

Devs care to debug code only if they believe in its quality. Otherwise they write the code again from scratch. This is also cheaper than debugging.

AI code is not clever. It’s all developers averaged. Even if it worked properly, you’d get average quality code.

It’s rather lazy and cheap. This is where the quality is lacking.

Are you looking for something like cached credentials?

Ich mache mir die Mühe. Danke für den Hinweis.

I have no problem with parties and companies influencing me. I have a problem with parties and companies that openly violate the constitution.

Because in most countries including Germany social networks filter these kinds of posts and try to fight against misinformation, racism, etc.

Tiktok can be used as a weapon. It can stir up communities and manipulate views. My impression is that it is done on purpose and it’s been instructed by the Chinese government.

I don’t have a proof but in American politics you can see tendencies against Tiktok. They are aware of these subtle issues.

Many first timers on Tiktok report that the first thing they see is this nazi crap right after registration. This is not normal.

I think they are just expecting that the upper management generates code using AI and the coders will try to fix it to get it to work.

Also, lots of nasty bugs are in systems, because of bloat. They are getting fixed slowly, but who doesn’t know cases where you cannot shut down the machine, because of “bouncing stars”.

I still need to look up how to write an own startup script or start two same daemons listening on different IPs. This is why I avoid systemd on servers and only leave it on workstations.

I wish that someone sues when something breaks in the car that you didn’t opt in for.

And… yet better, they get sued when something breaks that is in connection with a paid service and someone suspects that it’s because they paid part caused it.

Many manufacturers offer product sheets. You can also use price comparison websites. They sometimes offer an easy way to look at the specs or even compare them side by side.

Some hard drives are built for 24/7 operation. They have higher MTBF ratings and longer guarantees.

Hard drives are very different. Many of them waste energy, lie in the SMART log or just are weird (spin up and down, lose speed, get incredibly hot etc.)
