edukite··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
Also Warsaw here and I'll do everything to keep my kids away from all those trashy "social media" which had been proven to hard society more than helping in anything.

It shorten concentration time significantly, promote false narrative who is successful and who is not and promotes pseudo science

edukite··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
And TikTok is not available for minors in Poland yet a know 11y old who publish there so yeah, good to pretend
edukite··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
Exactly, sorry for bad description
edukite··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
And how many people who were on site survived and for how long?
edukite··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
Also it worth mentioning deaths caused by respiratory diseases from coal power plant pollution. This goes in millions
edukite··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
And died horrendous dead? Because guy who did this was in nuclear plant and was buried in lead coffin in closed zone.

His skin was falling from body while he was still breathing

1. Chernobyl disaster was not related in any way with nuclear plant normal functioning. It was "experiment of how low output reactor can go" proposed and exercised by people without knowledge or experience. It's monument of why government officials should not touch anything related to science

2. Chernobyl nuclear plant was very poor copy of safe by design nuclear plant. It had critical flaw in carbon based proton catching mechanism

3. Closed zone is currently habitable (except Sarcophagus area). You'll receive much higher radiation dose simply by flying to Norway. Nature is returning there, there're plans to repopulate it

4. This was in Soviet Union and power plant was "public". Most of the power plant in EU is public if not every single one. I don't have exact information on this topic

Please do not treat entire technology, which is safe, as a threat simply because some greedy, uneducated people from the past wanted better position and paid ultimate price for it

edukite··on Rust Is Tier-1 Language at Microsoft
First compile. Every another will be significantly faster since compiler is incremental
edukite··on Rust Is Tier-1 Language at Microsoft
My employer company go through JavaScript, Java, Golang and at the end landed on Rust for srver side and don't want to change anything. Everything is Rust now, regardless of traffic.

I don't know why you think it's only usable but this is your right.

edukite··on .gitignore Everything by Default
In 2016 I joined C project initially created in 1999. This project had ~7k lines in gitignore and I learned this only because one of my commit created 2h of email exchange why my code does not compile. Turns out filename was forbidden by one rule.

This one file was more sophisticated than any other file in the project.

It contained "good practices", editors/IDE files of applications dead for more than 10y, personal. /tmp directories in various names, files versioning using suffixes and comments for sections v of rules starting about in half of the file.

This project learned my to keep your own shit in local global gitignore not in project.

I did and don't even need methamphetamine ;)
edukite··on There's No Limit to How Bad Code Can Get
You are the very first person I encountered who claim LLM can fix technical debt. Usually I seem comments and articles saying LLM can only produce it. And I can agree with those articles and comments
edukite··on Statichost.eu – European static site hosting
Can I? Yes. Will I? No

Keep your 500€, your fellow citizens in average need it more than average European

edukite··on Statichost.eu – European static site hosting
As a European I can only say I would rather pay 9€ monthly to European company than even receiving 5€ from USA

I self-host my application so I don't have need for such service but if I couldn't I would pay 9€

edukite··on GPT-6 Astra
Learn, adapt and is capable of admitting mistakes & fixing it without addition input. Something AI is not capable.

Even today Claude was not able to dig deep and try other ways to do what it suppose to do for me. It was constantly "I gave up"

edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Really? From what I see everyone are raising prices and even if tokens price is dropping price of running LLM is raising. LLM is highly subsidized and will never be cheaper than human
edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Are you aware AI companies are subsidizing usage and have negative revenue?

And now your comparison is inaccurate. I said whole application. So the correct one would be selling/renting construction vehicles vs building entire building and here selling/renting is maybe 10% of developer income.

Digging a hole is like making small code change and if you wish to continue using this analogy then tokens are digging a hole and selling entire applications (thing Software house do) is construction company building entire building

Second obviously deliver more cash and here AI premise starts to crack. AI can't deliver anything good, costs much more than developing team (Uber proved it) and even if you use it as hard as possible and it does what it suppose to deliver max 5% increase across the board

edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Yes, I don't think this will be a lot better. Newest Claude is barely better, same with the rest of the model. In the same time cost of training new models and running them is increasing so taking this in the account I don't think this'll even last 5y
edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering
I'm 40yo. Do you know how long I'm waiting? Only taking for an account this newest hype I heard like 4x next year and the current progress is slowing significantly over last year. Even foundings are starting to back off
edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering
Really? Where do you live because in my country the opposite is true
edukite··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Just another 6 months bro, only another funding bro, I promise, all devs will be replaced bro

I have stupid question here. Why they sell tokens instead of AI generated full application and AI fixes to your code without you needing a single dev?

edukite··on Mark Zuckerberg attacks 'closed' AI rivals as Meta returns to open models
Only in a world were AI companies can subsidize AI usage indefinitely. In reality AI is not cheap and larger & more potent model it's usage costs is more expensive
edukite··on Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code
Famous last words
edukite··on It's getting harder to focus every day
I had the same exact issue. Turns out I have depression. Currently I'm on meds, therapy and functioning on 80% my ability but it's still better than near 0
edukite··on AI Is Changing the Economics of Native Apps
I used AI, namely Claude Opus 4.8, to create native client for Mattermost using Slint with Rust bindings. To create such application you don't need AI, it's GUI and cross-platform and for exercise purposes it was perfect.

I manage to create functionally correct application but it fall very short in performance and required constant logic validation. GUI components also required constant oversight and manual fixing since AI was simply unable to fix it and gone in circles doing exactly the same thing 2 steps back. Sometimes it even broke perfectly correct component for no apparent reason

Lastly it tends to load data from server in very suboptimal way, ex. for each comment it loaded user profile often repeating request.

After a week I had GUI app which lacks in UI and no-one would use.

The same application to develop manually would take considerable longer but application would be useable and fixing above issues most likely would take longer due to accumulated tech debt

edukite··on AI saves about 3% of your hours, and almost none of it reaches the money
In which world throwing business logic to "optimize memory usage" isn't crappy solution? Or making 1T from 4G? It didn't returned decent solution, contrary it was worst than terrible
edukite··on AI saves about 3% of your hours, and almost none of it reaches the money
There's other word for such code and it sounds similar. It's crappy. I was tempted to use Claude couple of days ago to help me with optimization and from 4Gb RAM and 21s it managed to squeeze 1Tb and 41s. When I asked to fixed it AI reduced it to 1Gb and 10s. It just removed most heavy business logic. So yeah. 3 days and this was only total waste of time and cash
edukite··on Why Switzerland has 25 gbit internet and America doesn't
Cheap excuses. It's like saying Europe started without asphalt streets so we don't have it. Building/upgrading asphalt street is order of magnitude more costly than cable yet majority of streets aren't dirt and stones

The issue lies in willingness to upgrade and cutting costs on end users

edukite··on The curious case of the disappearing Polish S (2015)
I'm using custom split keyboard with whatever I program to Blank key and still it never crossed my mind to put any Polish character as single key.

In Poland we informally use combinations and maybe some Poles use letter per key but I my entire live I never met a single person to do so

edukite··on European digital ID wallets rely on safety services of Google and Apple
My argument was that EU can have own phone OS completely unconnected with Google. EU can make own attestation and even ban Google attestation in EU.

We don't need to reinvent the wheel and create completely new OS
