bitfilped··on The Orange Pi 6 Plus
Complaining about vendor blobs while showing a picture of a machine hooked up to a China produced RAT box is certainly a statement.
bitfilped··on Backblaze has stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders and maybe others
When it comes to storage "unlimited" to me means a promise to be broken at some random point in the future. I'll never use a service that claims unlimited anything over having an actual cost model. Companies that charge by what you use have actually given consideration to the cost of doing business and have priced that in already.
bitfilped··on GitHub backs down, kills Copilot pull-request ads after backlash
No, publicly funded research is the reason the internet exists.
bitfilped··on LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer
Despite the misleading headline, I really don't understand why anyone uses linkedin, there will inevitably be a trailing rely of comments claiming it has some irreplaceable value in professional networking, but I don't buy it. Nobody I've ever talked to has been able to articulate any actual value provided by "connecting" to another person on a social networking site. If you want to build professional connections go to lunch, join community calls, attend professional events, and go to conferences.
bitfilped··on My MacBook Keyboard Is Broken and It's Insanely Expensive to Fix
Sure it's a giant PITA, but it's not expensive to repair if you do the labor yourself. Parts for macbook are easy to comeby since Apple decentralizes repairs so heavily.
bitfilped··on Waymo Safety Impact
Autonomous vehicles need to be safer than human drivers, not trading one set of safety concerns for different ones.
bitfilped··on Nvidia's Huang pitches AI tokens on top of salary
Sounds like his feedback loop is finally broken after years of logrolling with sycophants in government and higher ed.
bitfilped··on Waymo Safety Impact
Great, what's more concerning than crash rates though are impeding emergency vehicles, blocking roads, stalling when traffic lights are down, rolling past school buses with stop arms out, navigating in construction zones and lots of other issues that are left out of this report.
bitfilped··on OpenBSD: PF queues break the 4 Gbps barrier
Yes, we're already running 800G networks, so this phrasing seems really silly to me.
bitfilped··on Ask HN: What breaks first when your team grows from 10 to 50 people?
The required shift from spoken first to written first communication, some people just never seem to make it on the boat.
bitfilped··on U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. DOJ Scrapped It
About -2 years ago
bitfilped··on Microsoft Authenticator to nuke Entra creds on rooted and jailbroken phones
Sure I'll tell my employer to get right on that.
bitfilped··on DOGE employee stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive
Yep our newest team member came in having never used a posix filesystem in a production environment. It genuinely blew my mind.
bitfilped··on Expected 60-70% workforce reduction across engineering orgs within 18 months
This is all stupid advice from the same consulting firm. I have no doubt C suites will try this and I have no doubt it will backfire and end their businesses if they don't reverse course. Really tired of hearing this crap from people who have never used or run AI and don't understand their usefulness and limitations.
bitfilped··on Ask HN: Would you use a job board where every listing is verified?
No, I don't use job boards.
bitfilped··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
It's only going to get harder to achieve if you keep letting your skills and resoning abilities rot from LLM reliance.
bitfilped··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
I'm not sure why you feel devalued or let down, LLM code is a joke and will be a thing of the past after everyone has had their production environment trashed for the nth time by "AI."
bitfilped··on US economy unexpectedly sheds 92k jobs in February
Skill up.
bitfilped··on US economy unexpectedly sheds 92k jobs in February
"Unexpected" Wow, BBC is a joke of a news organization.
bitfilped··on Jensen Huang says Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic
Consumer GPUs are too small of a slice of their revenue to matter to them anymore.
bitfilped··on Jensen Huang says Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic
This is several investment rounds in so I think it might be fair to say it's a pullback.
bitfilped··on AI is making junior devs useless
No company will expect (or even want) any employee to be using AI 5 years out with the exception of small specialized models that certainly won't be replacing any jobs. Idk what it is about people since covid... Tech bubbles aren't new, AI isn't new, moderate jumps in technolgy advancements isn't new. This whole scene of terrifying young practitioners as they're entering into their fields and telling students they are wasting their time and that all the jobs of the future will be gone isn't just silly, it's actively more destructive than the AI tech itself.
bitfilped··on AI is making junior devs useless
Working on yourself extends faaaaar past just going to the gym.
bitfilped··on Discord distances from age verification firm after ties to Peter Thiel surface
They are not trying to stop children, they are tying to vet verify and collect information on anyone adult or kid.
bitfilped··on Scott Adams has died
The amount of closeted racism and blind defense in this comment section while knowing this is the peak represention of our industry makes me ashamed to be an engineer.
bitfilped··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
I hope so, Tahoe seems particularly bad, but the downhill slide has been happening for several releases.
bitfilped··on Caltrain shows why every region should be moving toward regional rail
Last time I rode Caltrain (late last year) I had my life threatened by some low life who got mad b/c they had been in the bathroom for 5+ stops and an employee had the audacity to knock on the door and tell them to wrap it up and get out (I just happened to be nearby) so there's that aspect of it.
bitfilped··on LinkedIn Prevents You from Deplatforming
If you aren't sure where people are you haven't been networking with them.
bitfilped··on The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup
The only way to achieve that level of parallelism is by not knowing what you are doing or the peoblem space you are working in to begin with and just throwing multiple ill defined queries at agents until something "works". It's sort of a modern infinite monkey theorem if you will.
bitfilped··on Google will now only release Android source code twice a year
I'll be moving off a google phone running GrapheneOS to Apple on my next phone refresh because of this, how is this not Google shooting themselves in the foot?
