The last AI bubble was AI's dial-up era because it was the dial-up era:

That's how they disable your bed when you don't pay the bill.


As a long time Gimp user, I remember dealing with the same thing but they did eventually fix that. It actually runs in a single window by default now.


Google has a long history of using dark patterns in their privacy settings to mislead users. There's a reason all the privacy settings for Google products are in scattered locations and have vague and ambiguous descriptions as to exactly what data is being gathered.


This is just some BS spam product site. And not even a good one. Your site is bad and you should feel bad.


This is an ongoing longitudinal study with inherent reporting biases and coverage limitations.

Well at least they're honest...


You caught us!... and turns out "we don't have all the data" isn't exactly the pitch VCs want to hear

Jokes apart, I'd rather admit we are working with incomplete data than pretend otherwise. We are probably seeing 5-10% of what's actually happening out there. Most AI code bugs die quietly in projects that never see production. And it is perhaps better that way.

[not]Fun fact: A colleague just told me how a rogue claude agent ran `rm -rf ~/` in a background process earlier today. It might become #166 in our report.


Well I don't deal with VCs but from a technical perspective that's is an odd way to phrase it. The perfectly valid explanation in your response is what people the tech scene would expect but if this is a VC money grab then I guess you know your intended audience.


Turns out I'm not as good as joking as I think I am. The rest of the response, btw, that was legit.


Generally when you have incomplete data, it pays not to double down on your findings in the title.

Makes you look guilty. Which perhaps you are.


A society that balances cause and effect! Money is also balanced! Money flows perfectly through multiple lifetimes! Being respected ultimately leads to balance!

What?


Perl is a messy, maddening programming language

Only because people kept writing horrible code and using Perl as an excuse. Perl is like C, your code is as readable and maintainable as you choose to make it. It's like that old saying about blaming your tools. Just stop writing crap code.


This.

Perl won't stop you from doing insane things, true, but you can write garbage unmaintainable code in any language.


Yes. I do. Just in case anyone doesn't know Perl has been in active development and has been adding new features the entire time. It was never 'dead'. This is Perl's new OO interface that was recently added as a stable feature in 5.40:

https://github.com/Perl-Apollo/Corinna


It's still considered an experimental feature, just as it was in 5.38.x. Also the linked documents aren't 100% reflective of what's been implemented so far, a better URL would probably be https://perldoc.pl/perlclass.


I got ahold of one long after it was obsolete and that keyboard was awesome. Someone needs to bring back the design.


Oh yes, I bought mine for £400 in about 1999 or 2000. It ran Windows 95 well, Win98SE OK if cut down hard with 98Lite, and Windows 2000 very very poorly indeed.

I would have run OS/2 Warp on it, but the internet connectivity was lacking.

I had two Xircom RealPort2 cards in mine, giving it 10MB/s Ethernet and a 56K modem.
