There’s a million layers of nuance to every situation.

- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 4 weeks ago:
Why wouldn’t you use AI as a shortcut if you can? Can you actually replace senior devs with AI? I’m sure that depends on the company and what they consider a “senior dev”. Maybe there’s some not-so-senior senior devs that should be worried.

It isn’t. Nonprofits don’t have a ton of money, and implementing strong security controls takes money and time away from other activities. Snal businesses have a lot of trouble for the same reason.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 4 weeks ago:
Good. There’s a lot of non-programmers who are now shitty ones and are using AI to make their ideas real. It’s made programming way more accessible to people who would never learn before.

Pfft, that archaic little sunsail jalopy?
More starship than you’ve replicated noob! 😉

Sisko literally replicated a star ship.

Sure, in the world of social media you can enforce whatever arbitrary terms you wish.

Which is higher on an active disk pool with auto-healing.

Tape suffers from bit rot too. Radiation doesn’t target just HDDs and SSDs. Look, I don’t know what to tell you. I deal with a lot of large companies and I lived through tape’s hayday. The cost to archive data on disk is not high and companies don’t have issues doing it. Having it on disk prevents bit rot, because the pools are massive and are auto-healing. Also, the only way that your archive is not going to be long term is if humaity ends. Seriously, what do you think it would take to destroy a multi-AZ glacier archive?
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
It’s almost certainly spare space from massive S3 disk pools that’s unused.

How do I get Glacier instant retrieval from a tape?
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
Archive is whatever companies want it to be. I’ve been told anything that’s not microfilm isn’t an archive, so there you go.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
I don’t disagree with you that tape has a different value prop, but I sell backup systems and almost nobody I sell to uses tape anymore. The truth with tape is that it’s a cheap media, but you still need to pay someone to vault it for you, it cannot be accessed easily, it makes physical moves which cause damage and tape drive tech is still one of the most complicated things in the Datacenter.
Most companies I deal with want the data to be “online” in at least some form that can be easily accessed for AI, lawsuits, new research, business continuity, etc. Tape allows none of that, and so the value of it is pretty limited. The truth these days is I can stuff a TB of data into cloud archive, with instant retrieval, for really, really cheap, with like 99.99999999999% data durability guarantees, for dollars a month.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
Not really. Disk took over when the clouds started offering cheap archiving. Tape is getting more and more rare.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
Not really. Disk is king now since S3 storage took the crown when cloud services started offering cheap archiving. Anything still on disk from the 90s is some neglected archive that has been deemed by the company to have no value.
I would assume they’re finding this out now because they’re trying to feed their whole archive to the AI beast.

Well, I’m no stockologist, but I believe when your company has a perpetual sales backlog with a 15-year head start on your competition, that should lead to a pretty high valuation.
- Comment on The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble 2 months ago:
They’re not building them for themselves, they’re selling GPU time and SuperPods. Their valuation is because there’s STILL a lineup a mile long for their flagship GPUs. I get that people think AI is a fad, and it’s public form may be, but there’s thousands of GPU powered projects going on behind closed doors that are going to consume whatever GPUs get made for a long time.

- Comment on Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? 2 months ago:
Ask it to make a function, then do some other function, then make them work together etc. Making it write a lot in one go won’t work. It’s more pair programming than having it write for you.

So a really bug death ray? Perhaps some sort of doomsday device?
- Comment on Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? 2 months ago:
I use it to write code, but I know how to write code and it probably turns a week of work for me into a day or two. It’s cool, but not automagic.

So you’re saying a space orbiting death ray will cast an area large enough to generate solar powered eh? HEY ELON!
