Do someone pays for anti-C propaganda ?? All that logic breaking accusations...

Eg. here, from memory:

> ...you want to read 32 bits from file but OH NOOES long is 64 bit ! The language ! The imposibility !

But when you read something ot unserialize some format you just need to know based on format schema or domain knowledge. Simple and straightforward like that ! You do not do some "reflections" on what language standard provide and then expect someone send you just that !!

So that anti-C "movement" is mostly based on brainless exampless.

Not saying C is perfect.

But it is very good and I bet IBM and other big corps will keep selling things written and actively developed in C/C++ + adding hefty consulting fees.

In the meantime proles has been adviced to move to cpu-cycle-eating inferior languages and layers over layers of cycle burning infra in cloud-level zero-privacy and guaranteed data leaks.

Oh, btw. that femous Java "bean" is just object with usually language delivered "basic type"... How that poor programmer from article should know what to read from disc when he just have types Java provides ?? How ? Or maybe he should use some domain knowledge or schema for problem he is trying to solve ??

And in "scripting language" with automatic int's - how to even know how many bits runtime/vm actually use ? Maybe some reflection to check type ? But again how that even helps if there is no knowledge in brain how many bits should be read ?? But calling some cycle burning reflection or virtual and as much as posible indirect things is what fat tigers love the moust :)


Yay, on-premise llms are what is recomended for serious use, at least US gov thinks that :) But rest of us need to pay subscriptions for 3r party businesses passing back and forth our... everything ?

In old days ppl was saying: "I have no secrets" and now we evolved into "I know how to not upload important docs" ;)


Mr. Carney could be a bit more specific... Which one "order" ?

- post WW2 countries self-governance is old now ?

- or pre WW1 imperiums is that "older" ?

- or maybe ancient cities-countries are not coming back ?

But returning to common sense always is good proposition :)


> Google/ms/aws...

Meh.

EU need to start with own PC hardware factories first. And PC compatible designs. What is unlikely - on first sight of troubles they will buy everything from US. As all good 3rd Word countries do.


5-10+ min HN too. But that comes with links attached... ;)


LOL

All that years (decades?) Python had build-in code executed on install ??? That's functionally adequate to MS autoexec.bat viruses spreading mechanism!

Just LOL...


Can anyone confirm that "pour boiling water on them" is as good as deadly chemicals ? :)


Why fridge need to have rights to initiate connection to something on internet ?

Why fridge need to even be reachable from the internet ?? You should have some AI agent for managing your "smart" home. At least it's how sci-fi movies/games show it, eg. Iron man or Starcraft II ;)


> Why fridge need to have rights to initiate connection to something on internet ?

So you can access it from a phone app even when outside your home network.


> Its a Horn clause resolver...that's exactly the kind of reasoning that LLMs are bad at. I have no idea how to graft Prolog to an LLM but if you can graft any programming language to it, you can graft Prolog more easily.

By grafting LLM into Prolog and not other way around ?


So OpenAI is clearly a military too :)
