Ser ut som om vi kunne ha spart oss for et årsverk i Riksrevisjonen, i alle fall

Overskrift fra Aftenposten: Riksrevisjonen hevdet at KI kunne spare 155.000 årsverk. Men tallet stammet fra ChatGPT.

Det er ikkje ein direkte feil, men om eg ser på nettverkskall medan eg stemmer kan eg sjå kven som har skrive kva novelle. Kunne ha fiksa det med å bruke UUID i staden, t.d?

Du kan parodiere NRK alt du orkar, men det er vanskeleg å slå originalen

At least they're _sort of_ using version control?

Working on a mobile app and this is how I feel.

It's not even React Native's (or Expo's) fault—it's just a huge project with a massive surface area, and also being in the uncanny valley of "this is sort of like the web but also different enough to be impractical".

Som om ikke det var nok er det også lav kompetanse på digitale systemer i styret i selskapet. I dag er det denne gjengen som styrer. Selskapet får kritikk for å pulverisere ansvar og å ha svak ledelse.

En kan f.eks. kose seg med disse grafene, som viser at

1: Antallet registrerte hendelser ved St. Olavs skjøt i været og økte med over 40 prosent da Helseplattformen ble innført, og

2: Leger og sykepleiere mener at pasientsikkerheten er blitt dårligere av innføringen av Helseplattformen.
Hendelser meldt inn til kvalitetssystemet ved St. Olavs hospital HF i perioden 1. januar 2019–31. juli 2024 Leger og sykepleieres oppfatning om Helseplattformens bidrag til pasientsikkerheten i 2023 og 2024

Google Maps is now showing Amerikagolfen, a translation of Gulf of America, as a parenthesized alternative below the proper Mexicogolfen in the Norwegian version of their service.

The official Norwegian name has not changed, and there is nothing to signal that it will.

If you'd like to cut Google wherever you can I wholeheartedly recommend kagi.com for search. Pay for a high quality service with no ads.

Yesterday's changelog is also a nice example of their modus operandi: kagi.com/changelog#6155
In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost. We have implemented this for the simple reason of being kind to our users. We understand some months you may forget to use Kagi or do not need it, so when you do, you can rest assured that we haven’t charged you for that. This change is effective immediately, no forms to fill, no requests to make.

Today's top tech tip: Remove calls to Process.sleep in your production code.
An excerpt from Elixir in Action by Saša Jurić. Highlighted passage: In this example, server optimization amounts to removing the Process.sleep/1 call.

…men dongerietterligning er lov!
Et stillbilde fra NRKs sending. Vi ser en annen deltaker i turneringen som har på seg en bukse som ser veldig ut som jeans, men som tydeligvis er godkjent ettersom det er et annet stoff som er etterbehandlet for å se ut som jeans.

It's pretty nice in Python too!
@functools.cache def possible_variants(patterns: tuple[str], design: str) -> int: if design == "": return 1 candidates = [pattern for pattern in patterns if design.startswith(pattern)] if not candidates: return 0 return sum( possible_variants(patterns, design[len(pattern) :]) for pattern in candidates )

I know you are very proud of your lyrics search @spotify.com, but this is also the literal title of the song so sit back down.
A Spotiify search for "waiting on the world to change". The top result is the song of the same name by John Mayer, with the result labeled "Lyrics match".

I'm taking my time with Advent of Code this year, getting more comfortable with Elixir and trying to write reasonably clear programs. I like how some of the code ends up reading like prose.

#ElixirLang
Screenshot of the following Elixir code: defmodule Day5 do def part1() do {:ok, {rules, manuals}} = parse_input() manuals |> Enum.filter(&follows_rules?(&1, rules)) |> Enum.map(&middle_page/1) |> Enum.sum() end def part2() do {:ok, {rules, manuals}} = parse_input() manuals |> Enum.reject(&follows_rules?(&1, rules)) |> Enum.map(&sort(&1, rules)) |> Enum.map(&middle_page/1) |> Enum.sum() end
