I cannot understand the overwhelmingly negative sentiment in this thread. I've used LLMs every day at work for several years now, I am a firm believer they're useful. Never once have I felt that an LLM could do my job without me s

For the same reason software engineers still employed. AI is not yet capable of autonomous software development. From my perspective we're nowhere close.

Yep, I have heard of many such cases and I know someone affected personally. For someone who refuses to take down the personal information of others this is extremely hypocritical.

Actually Spotify finally introduced lossless quality, after teasing it for something like five years!

Spotify is the only streaming service I still pay for, and I will continue to pay for, because: 1. The catalog is comprehensive. I listen to far more music than I could afford to own. 2. There are no advertisements in the paid service. 3. T

Because people will solve the challenge once, and then use the cookie in automation tools. It already happens with shorter expiration cookies.

Because this behavior is not socially acceptable. It's perfectly alright not to contact laid off co-workers you didn't have a relationship with. Feigning care is either misguided or self-serving.

This is what I took away from the post too. I'm not going to invite someone out for a coffee so I can use them down the road. I feel the same way about "networking". The people around you are not tools. I want no part in &quo

Life's too short for bullshitting. Why not just speak your mind and avoid the people who react that way? I've found that if I sanitize my words I get sanitized responses, and vice versa. Nobody is as boring as they seem.

I feel the same, including code. I cannot justify it. I can easily counter my own arguments. Still, the further we automate human thought and creativity the worse it makes me feel. I am disappointed that so many are content with mediocre im

I agree with you. It's easy to become desensitized to tragedy when you're only reading words. Regardless of opinions, it's hard not to empathize with a man shot dead before your eyes. I think it does a lot of good to remove t

Given the state of the Kindle and Fire TV interfaces, I hope Amazon keeps far away.

I did some looking into this a few days ago, and I can understand the sentiment. I can't understand the proposed implementation. There is a lack of technical discourse and heavy criticism of any negative opinion. I don't want to d

I refuse to believe there are professional software developers who don't use debuggers. What are you all working on? How do you get your bearings in a new code-base? Do you read it like a book, and keep the whole thing in your mind? Ho

I am the kind of person who is very inconsistent. My opinions and identity are fluid, often I learn something new or see something from a different perspective and my framework gets adjusted. So I've come to understand that I don'

Yet it's obvious why it's stupid to say that everyone who lives in the mountains ends up dying. The majority of projects fail, but we see successful projects all around us. I don't see any related to cryptocurrency. In fact,

I've found a lot of value in this approach as well, I don't delegate any architecture decisions to LLMs. I build out the high-level and I see if the LLM can fill the gaps. I've found they are good at writing pure functions, a

I'd love to read some of these programs and/or read about the process of writing them. "Etches 04" is awesome, it sounds like I'm looking out at some post-apocalyptic cityscape. Please do drop a line if you publish

Fantasy consoles are awesome, very fun project and I love your demos. The way the bombs fall with the music in Kaboom is smart. I've thought a lot about building a hardware PICO-8. Not just running the software, but implement the APIs

You come off extremely rude, and for someone so enamored with the scientific method you make a lot of baseless assumptions about what I think and understand. Understanding comes from all kinds of places. When a child touches a hot stove, th
