Even more so when you consider that the answers to unsolved problems likely compose with existing knowledge. We don't know what other discoveries these initial discoveries will unlock.

The same goes with most "human" discovery: they happen because existing knowledge have reach a point where that specific discovery is just one more stone to the edifice.

That's why in research, it's common for separate teams to reach similar conclusions at the same time or race to a result that's finally in reach.

The good old "standing on the shoulders of giants" saying.

true, and universal convergence

I think this is a good point. We will most likely not get novel results, but a lot of connected dots.

That is very useful but not the singularity. Which is probably good...

> compose

Did you nean to type that or did you mean composed or comport?

It is unfortunate nobody tipped anyone off downstream.

CVE AND release note not enough tipping off for you?

it is absolutely not on maintainers of projects to proactively notify those who've forked the project. clear and transparent notices are exactly the right approach

Apologies I didn't see there had been a CVE. I completely retract my statement.

given the fact that they communicated about this as a CVE, and Forgejo is a fork of gitea, one could say that this is on Forgejo though.

Agreed, I didn't realise there had been a CVE.

Was that hero unit header text supposed to be sung in the voice of Ja Rule?

My existing sessions are working fine but I cannot create new ones.

I'd be worried about securely erasing my data when returning a leased model.

What do you do with older hardware that you've bought? Do you not wipe it and resell / donate?

If you encrypt from day one then a lease isn't much different.

Just delete the encryption key.

That's an extreme risk to them buying at inflated retail prices when supply is improving and prices are about to come down. Scalpers arent a large enough group to act as a cartel.

They really aren't. AI commit messages are much more thorough and correct than some of the stuff I've seen humans do over the years e.g. Fix, Fixup, Fixed some Stuff, Should work now, Definitely should work now etc etc etc.

I definitely prefer a "fixup" to a three paragraph meaningless word soup which doesn't cover why the commit is there either

Nah, most often they are just long-winded beatings around the bush.

If you can’t tell how this is a non sequitur then it’s very likely you, too, confuse articulate and confident with useful and accurate.

Redundancy is just waste wearing a trench coat etc etc.

I'm not convinced that is true. The JCB digger didn't put groundworkers out of business. A consultant that can get more done in a day is worth a lot more than one who can't. There is still skill required in wielding the tool of the day and that skill is marketable.

Sorry, I don't think your non-software analogy that existed before 2025 helps at all in this specific topic about software consultancy.

Meanwhile, people are in fact making actual money solving problems for others by building use-case-specific solutions. Perhaps you’re unaware of them, but they do exist. They prefer to operate off the radar.

This is something that can't escape people making such statements but never seems to be addressed. Perhaps it is unaddressable as the original statement is grounded in emotion not reason?

> by solving problems for others by building use-case-specific solutions.

You mean come up with a solution that fits for a usecase and write a blog or make a video of it?

> They prefer to operate off the radar.

If they are off the radar then how do people approach them?
