Hackernews has become insufferable ever since every second post has become about AI.

Looks like the AI companies have finally run out of money as they are asking various open source projects to test their closed source products for them for free. What could go wrong with giving access to an unknown tool to private code repos?

If I didn't know better, I would think this is an elaborate phishing scam, or they have run out of data to scrape and need more training material.

Gotta admire their brazenness...

@bradwilson I started doing TDD through github.com/quii/learn-go-with- which I recommend a lot.

Anyway, it recommends writing acceptance tests first, so I wrote a test to download a file from a torrent peer. The implementation itself is ultra-rudimentary, right in TDD spirit. However, it has been hard to follow it up with good, structured code which is cleanly separated and tested.

Should I have to keep design separate from TDD and come up with a solid design up-front or am I doing something wrong?

@bradwilson I've been making a torrent client in Go. The hardest thing so far was coming up with a clean and logically separate code (which I haven't done yet ๐Ÿ˜†), but also I had problems with writing tests which can test the entire system.

To validate that the client is working, I have to spin up real qBittorrent clients, so I use Docker in my tests.

It's hard to articulate my thoughts. It was easy to write a bencode parser with TDD, but everything else is a hassle.

Is anyone actually using in real coding? I have some questions.

Oh no. Can you please think of the poor corporation and its CEO? The negativity you talk about regarding AI is hurting them badly. Now Jensen Huang is begging you to stop being so negative about AI: "[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said. This is the same thing the Microsoft CEO said a couple of weeks back. It would be a shame if you boosted and spread this negative news. Lmao.

@itachai did EU actually create this declaration or is it some kind of a meme somebody online created?

We need to oppose the European Commission's digital omnibus disaster! We need to oppose it loudly and immediately!

Not only is the leaked proposal an outright attack on our digital privacy rights. The Commission would also set whatever will be left of the GDPR up to fail eventually.

@noybeu has summarized why an how the digital omnibus will harm people, you can read their article here: noyb.eu/en/eu-commission-about

The website โ€œKeep Android Openโ€ is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions keepandroidopen.org

@icing how long was this behavior used in production? Very interesting that the issue hasn't happened already.

Modern Internet working on pure chance :yikes:
