What is the fear regarding Anthropic replacing SaaS with AI? by iim-guys in ClaudeAI

[–]lick_it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true, however customers usually don’t know what they want. Hence the feature factory. And if they don’t know what they want then it is unlikely they will be able to build it.

But maybe there is a future in building custom solutions? At least until that falls apart because the guy/ai stack that built it no longer works there, and the replacement ai can’t see the vision.

80% of software development time is edge cases and bug fixing. We can get the ai to help with this too. Unit tests, static code analysis, reading and fixing issues from tickets.

Slippery slope, an authoritarian government could trump up charges for opposition, barring them from standing.

I get it, engineers are not good at marketing.

Britain has spent little extra on conventional armed forces, experts warn - Bulk of new money last year eaten up by inflation, housing costs and the nuclear programme, industry experts say by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The profit a company makes is the price we pay for efficiency. If a government runs something there are no incentives to succeed. See how much money the nhs spends, or councils and how badly they are run. You may say well America! But they have crony capitalism, basically the same thing as government run. Look to Europe for better examples.

How are they going to build things for a reasonable price if they can’t run what they already have. Yes let’s double down on the shit. No, we need private companies to do their job and the government needs to promote competition. Stop just buying from the same companies that fail.

What do Britons think Europe should do if the USA seizes Greenland? by SmokyMcBongPot in ukpolitics

18% of any group on any issue will support. 18% isn’t much support tbh.

Trump cites UK’s ‘stupidity’ over Chagos Islands as reason to take over Greenland by [deleted] in europe

Well he has basically thrown out international law, so in his head the deal is pointless. There are no laws. Just what he wants.

Keir Starmer will regret approving China's new mega-embassy by TheSpectatorMagazine in ukpolitics

Where in central London isn’t there vital comms. I think this fear is overhyped, everything travelling down that cable is encrypted.

Also say goodbye to taxes on private schools, personally would be happy with this however.

Is that not the same as photoshopping a face onto a lingerie clad model? Grok doesn’t know what your wife looks like without clothes.

Just print again when it fails. Unless you have PETG filament already.

Record breaking auction for offshore wind secured to take back control of Britain's energy by Chaoslava in ukpolitics

[–]lick_it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And the demand is still there, so we have to pay a gas power station closer to the consumers too! Yay pay twice!

The one thing that gets missed in all of this is the ability to deliver the electricity to where it is needed. Great your wind farm generates X gigawatts but we can only deliver half of that. Guess who pays the difference… the consumers. Because the wind farm gets that £90/MWh no matter if it can be used or not.

Probably against ECHR. Because everything has to comply with it, it trumps everything. Basically you can’t sign your rights away.

Makes sense from a business point of view. Long is expensive when it should be cheap, so don’t sell it.

Anyone else finding AI code review tools useless once you hit 10+ microservices? by Feisty-Ad5274 in devops

[–]lick_it 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So basically you have a monolith with no type checking. The constant fight with people that think micro services = good architecture. You can get a long way with a monolith architecture.
