I think it’s more to do with phones - people are just more likely to do most tasks on a phone rather than a laptop.

NASA+ remains available for free, with no ads, through the NASA app and on the agency’s website.

It could be that Netflix can promote it on the platform to garner more interest.

I thought it moved away from the All4 name? Sounds too much like “Awful”, which would always sum up my experience using it.

Someone in the RAF regiment is about to have a very bad day.

I wonder where standard and splendid fit on the shitoscale. Perfection has to be where you’ve been waiting ages and you finally log out and you feel about 50kg lighter, and only requires a single wipe.

I’ll let someone else have the fun of describing the other end of the scale…

So the jury found him guilty but it doesn’t sound like the judge is convinced of his guilt, or at least it sounds like theres little viable evidence that he’s associated with the robbers. What other reconnaissance could he have done that would make him guilty? How is using a toilet for it’s intended purpose reconnaissance? So many questions!

It is really not a big change to the way we work unless you work in a language that has very low expressiveness like Java or Go

If we include languages like C#, javascript/typescript, python etc then that’s a huge portion of the landscape.

Personally I wouldn’t use it to generate entire features as it will generally produce working, but garbage code, but it’s useful to get boilerplate stuff done or query why something isn’t working as expected. For example, asking it to write tests for a React component, it’ll get about 80-90% of it right, with all the imports, mocks etc, you just need to write the actual assertions yourself (which we should be doing anyway).

I gave Claude a try last week at building some AWS infrastructure in Terraform based off a prompt for a feature set and it was pretty bang on. Obviously it required some tweaks but it saved a tonne of time vs writing it all out manually.

I feel like it’s more the sudden overnight hype about it rather than the technology itself. CEOs all around the world suddenly went “you all must use AI and shoe horn it into our product!”. People are fatigued about constantly hearing about it.

But I think people, especially devs, don’t like big changes (me included), which causes anxiety and then backlash. LLMs have caused quite a big change with the way we go about our day jobs. It’s been such a big change that people are likely worried about what their career will look like in 5 or 10 years.

Personally I find it useful as a pairing buddy, it can generate some of the boilerplate bullshit and help you through problems, which might have taken longer to understand by trawling through various sites.

It’s kinda funny that they’re “legitimate interest”, as that infers that the other ones aren’t legitmate.

It seems absolutely insane to me that people have to pay. I was annoyed at having to pay £10 for the car park when we had our first!

Yeah but passenger airliners aren’t equipped with parachutes. I think what you probably mean is in an emergency evacuation then the passengers will be left behind while attendants jump down the slides.

Not sure yet, we’re still waiting for the first frame to finish.

Well in my mind few years ago was 1999…

Seriously though I thought this only happened within the last 10 years, TIL.

During some war games a few years ago, the Dutch Navy managed to score a hit against a US Navy carrier using a diesel sub.

Like someone else said here, carriers are big, slow targets, it’s not impossible for something to sneak past and sink them.

Everyone strives for 5 9s, but musk aims for two 8s.

There’s a great podcast called “The Lazarus Heist” that goes into North Korea’s activities in stealing huge sums of money. Well worth a listen.

It’s baffling to me. Maybe I’m just used to using “modern” frameworks, but the only way this could be an issue is if you literally check if the string value equals “null” and then replace it with a null value.

lastName = lastName.ToUpper() == "NULL" ? null : lastName;

Either that or the database has some bug where it’s converting a string value of “null” into a null.

What’s he smoking? Trump couldn’t start a useful dialogue with himself!

Too bad dickhead, Ukraine doesn’t accept Russian troops in Ukraine but here we are.

i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash

Wouldn’t it have been better to tell the gift giver that you’re really happy that they thought if you, but for security/moral reasons you don’t want to install it? At least they could have returned it and got their money back.
