I would say taste and touch are my strongest recall senses. I can still remember the experience of my favorite sandwich at a local sandwich shop, discontinued around 2009. For the apple test, while I can visualize the image of one, it&#x2

We're being forced to use some AI features in our IDE at work these days, and we see it make stuff up all the time. Very unpleasant to work with. It will tell us implementing something a certain way is impossible, when I've implem

At my job REST just means "not SOAP" basically. No other standardization.

This part confused me: > lacks basic features like dealing with compressed files – I don’t count a decades-old cumbersome wizard-style interface with countless steps to go through just to unpack a compressed file to be even remotely acce

What we get typically is a second or third-hand summary of an analysis someone else did about how the current version works, with no indication of what stuff has to stay as-is in our replacement and what stuff can be improved.

Splinter Cell and Thief are the only series I'm familiar with that actually have light and shadow based stealth. Everything else is all hiding around corners or inside/under furniture, like Metal Gear Solid. The Splinter Cell ligh

I think it's a good idea to experiment with and discover the limitations of small, untuned models before exposing yourself to the modern very powerful ones. It gives you a better sense of their nature as token predictors and not real s

Agreed, and you could get a completely unrelated LLM to generate a similar apology without any of the real context, it would make up reasoning just as effectively.

Seems valid to me. I won't read articles with model-generated header images, because it's a good indicator the rest of the text will be slop as well. For a restaurant, a slop logo gives the impression that the owner doesn't c

Probably more likely to run into a Shoggoth than Cthulhu in the Antarctic, or maybe an Elder Thing if any are still around. Rl'yeh is a bit further north.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand where that 3.9 g expected weight comes from.

Sounds like my Dad, who used to have an uncanny ability to get stuck in elevators. Even got stuck in one with his claustrophobia therapist.

Regarding the interactions shown in the screenshots: LLMs are pattern-matching machines. They keep the pattern going. Once "the agent disobeys the human's instructions" has made its way into the context, that is the pattern t

It makes the behavior more obvious from simply looking at the file, for one thing, and it means you can just lump it into your next `git add -A` without needing to handle it specially.

I've never been a fan of dual grid, and personally prefer the rpg maker approach of using 5 sample tiles and then chopping up and recombining them to make the 47 tiles needed for what I believe is called "blob tiling".

We use Mulesoft where I work, and XML namespaces are a constant issue. We never managed to define an API spec in such a way that the RAML compiler and the APIKit validator would both accept the same payload. In the end we just had to turn o

Yeah I strongly feel that the best outcome of all of this would be the end of sponsorships and affiliate links, and a general reduction in price discrimination.

Something I've occasionally wished for is a classic-style Zelda game[1] where partway through the adventure you discover that all the dungeons are actually adjacent to each other, and you can open up passages connecting them turning it

It's wild to me that it doesn't even generate a tooltip by default.

We had this problem, 119 services that all got their dependencies from a shared domain. Individual services had to depend on the exact version of libraries provided by the domain. It made updates essentially impossible. Eventually we were f

Wonder if/when prescription lenses will be available for it. I had to get some for my index since my glasses were too big to fit inside the headset.

Microsoft is terrible about this kind of stuff. We have a big problem with MS Teams replacing tabs with nbsps in XML code snippet blocks. It breaks our pom files. We've also had similar issues with pasting excel tables into emails.

A payment processor should be treated like a utility. They just let the money flow and skim profit off the top without caring who's at either end.

I think aside from any safety issues, another reason to prefer a deb or something over curl | bash is that it lets your package manager know what you're installing. It can warn you about unmet dependencies, it knows where all the indiv

I agree, and would personally extend that to all user interfaces that speak in first person. I don't like it when word's spell check says "we didn't find any errors". Feels creepy.

The first chicken Caesar salad I ever had was, I believe, at Metro Grill during the summer of 2006. I was not (and still am not) much of a salad fan, but that was the salad that made me say "maybe I can learn to like salad."
