> It’s deeper: LLM-generated code, calling external APIs with real credentials, without human review.

This also follows the rule of 3s, which LLMs love, there ya go.


Yeah, I feel like this is really the smoking gun. Because it's not actually deeper? An LLM running untrusted code is not some additional level of security violation above a plugin running untrusted code. I feel like the most annoying part of "It's not X, it's Y" is that agents often say "It's not X, it's (slightly rephrased X)", lol, but it takes like 30 seconds to work that out.

It's not just different way of saying something, it's a whole new way to express an idea.

Yes. Unless you support govt tyranny.

Why introduce yet another ignore file? Can you have it read .gitignore if .tvcignore is missing?

> Art Deco is in vogue

Is it? I wish it was, but what is the author referencing?


People seem to be increasingly interested in it for interior design. I've seen this reported in a few places, Pinterest being one of those sources https://bestreviews.com/articles/home/decor/pinterest-fall-2...

There's also, of course, the aggressive A16Z Art Deco rebranding. But we can put that one to the side.


Neo Deco is growing in popularity. There's a few youtube channels dedicated to art deco restoration and influencers showing off art deco motifs in their homes that have spurred the trend.

It's just the slow swing of the pendulum away from the AirSpace aesthetic that was the modern interpretation of mid-century modern that came out of the early 2000s.

Author is a hipster.


It's so weird, Art Deco was in vogue for a while in the early 90s (see Batman '89, The Rocketeer), and the nostalgia cycle is just coming around again. I'll take Victorian or Art Nouveau instead, please.

As long as we can do away with the ultra Minimalism aesthetic, I'm on board.

> This test is a manufactured problem, a silly premise, false test cases and honestly dishonest if not ignorant

It’s amazing how vitriolicly wrong people can be. Before publicly criticizing someone in the above way, prove them wrong first. Don’t just assume they’re wrong.


But only llms hallucinate!


> Surely there’s some work out there that tries to improve font rendering on nonuniform subpixel layouts, right?

Only Microsoft can fix it, and as far as I know, they don't seem interested.


Others can fix it too and they have. See:

https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype

https://github.com/CoolOppo/GDI-PlusPlus

I use MacType and it works really well. You can tune many more things than with ClearType.


Same here, running MacType/Windows on a 65" LG 4k OLED C5 TV with 100% scaling as my main display for all kind of stuff incl. coding. But i must admit that fonts on Linux looks noticeable better out of the box and MacType/Windows does not apply to all applications. E.g. for LibreOffice i had to change the rendering engine(disable skia) under options and on PDFGear MacType does not apply at all.

Anyway, OLED is great, I'm sitting 2 arm length away from the panel.

People complaining are probably Gen.Z that never sat in-front of an ol' CRT in the 90s and are spoiled by smartphones running 4k on minuscule 7" displays with 460ppi.


I've tried MacType before but sadly it came with significant slow down in many applications, lists would lag while scrolling, etc.

It's really annoying because all I really want is to disable ClearType on my primary high DPI monitor while keeping it with default settings for my two side monitors, but Windows does not let you configure it per monitor.


> This looks to me like partly a false dichotomy

Wasn't that the point of the article? That you need both?


Yes, but most of the commenters didn't read the article.


Yup, articles like this where the title is the opposite of the article's message is a trap to reveal that.


Are you referring to his firing in the 80s? That was because he was supposedly a jerk at the time and no one wanted to deal with him.


Did you read the article?


I did. Did you notice that in the article they're talking about how the price (89%) spanned a decade at least? This seems to align with what I've said in my above coment.

>That's an 89% increase over a decade, and a 32% jump in just two years. San Francisco has the highest indexed concert ticket prices in the nation, roughly 29% above the norm, according to analysis from Tickethold.

Of course prices are increasing everywhere across the USA. I am just pointing out that San Francisco has always been significantly more expensive than everywhere else even before the last handful of years. And the reason for this is very clear: SF people have been paid more on average. Probably because the demand for the small area (so nice climate wise, job availability wise, etc) exceeds availability for those things and drives up other prices. And then the ratcheting like I said.


It's the cost. The high cost of labor, due to the high cost of real estate, due to the limited availability. This is ultimately the cause of booth what you've pointed out (the average high salaries in the area) AND the high cost of local goods and services. If we had more affordable real estate, the average income of residents wouldn't be so high, and the costs of other things also wouldn't be so high.


> So, for example, Android applications written in Java are able to invoke SQLite (through an adaptor). Maybe it would have been more convenient for Android if SQLite had been coded in Java as that would make the interface simpler. However, on iPhone applications are coded in Objective-C or Swift, neither of which have the ability to call libraries written in Java. Thus, SQLite would be unusable on iPhones had it been written in Java.

This feels like they're responding to people asking for SQLite to be rewritten in Java. Who are these people?!
