The open source models are pretty good too now. They are a few months behind, but not more than that. Sure, you still have to host them in the cloud to get enough VRAM to run them - but looking 10+ years into the future the end game here will probably be having a local LLM that runs on your own computer and is more than capable enough to do coding for you.
It seems obvious to me. Just like drawing and sketching helps thinking about design, coding helps thinking about programming.
It's one of the reasons for the "one to throw away"-idea of writing shitty code first just to get it to work, and then remake it after you have thought through the problem by coding it.
Trump has several times threatened to take Greenland, by military force if necessary. He categorically has "not ruled out" military force against a NATO ally.
This has, for obvious reasons, been huge news in all of Europe and especially in Denmark.
I'm sure MAGA Americans want to hand-wave it away, and since Trump is so difficult to understand and says so many whacky things, we're all hoping he doesn't mean it, but it's underscored the need to quickly get independent of the USA.
I had the same reaction. It's a one time password, so it does not need to be as secure as a permanent one, but it still feels silly to have a long password that you can just type the first few characters and have it auto complete each word, versus just having a shorter password to begin with.
That said I can see how autocompleting from the first three letters of each word for "beaver-grass-hypocondriac-shelf" might be easier for a human than typing "beagrahypshe"
What? Of course they should. It shows they care about their customers, and that they are confident in their use case and honest when they say what they are a good fit for or not
Can't Github buy some high quality stars every now and then to kill those accounts who look legit (or perhaps once was legit) and ban them for partaking?
I'm trying to pay for Kagi search to see if it's better. Not sure if it is, but at least it's not worse. In my tests they seem to get most of the results from Google, but just jumble them about a bit. They do have a "programming" mode though, which is useful.
If nothing else, it's refreshing to pay for search, to support non-ad-driven revenue models for the most important feature of the web.
For SOWs, I find that it helps to keep them very explicit about the larger goals and the "why" of the project, but vague on details, and then enter into an agreement where the customer pays you to keep scope at a level where the larger goal and "why" can be accomplished within budget, not into an agreement where the customer controls the scope and you just balloon the budget if they increase it.
