Now I'm imagining some kind of timezone-like temperature unit that varies around the world, and a "100 things programmers should know about ___" post about all the intricacies and special cases.

Didn't expect to see the goalposts moved to "AI can fix bugs but do they even matter"

I'm surprised to hear this. I've found AI incredibly useful for optimizing queries. Give it the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output of your query and it will have no problem optimizing it

I just downloaded and paid for Codex this week because I want to stay on top of the AI tools and understand their capabilities. I've had some good results using 5.6 Sol, although it tends to never want to write any comments (despite mo

I'm pretty sure the Google Play Store does require this. I remember a few years ago (no longer at the company) having to verify a phone number and maybe address that is posted publicly.

I'm not sure why you are being ripped apart in the comments, especially for a lot of nitpicky things. It was an interesting article, I can resonate with it from years of doing customer support. Comment sections like this make you reali

To add to this, they should look at the Fable system card. It's 317 pages and it's clear how serious they are taking AI safety.

If they called it 6.0 and it wasn't AGI, you'd see a lot of complaining here too

Another massive reason is that ChatGPT and similar apps are eating their lunch. Asking a question to ChatGPT actually tends to be pretty convenient compared to the top X results that are just SEO optimized slop.

This may have been a problem a year or two ago but any premium model will be exploring the codebase to check similar routes to answer all these questions, if you don't specify them.

The interactive parts of this post are very cool though

It's insane how most of the dev subreddits are filled with slop like this. I've thought the same thing - why can't they even spend 5 minutes to write their own post about their project?

> If anything, too much slop goes through uncontested. It's actually insane opening up /r/webdev and similar subreddits and seeing dozens of AI authored posts with 50+ comments and maybe a single person calling it out. Mak

It might be normal language but lets say maybe 5% of real human blog writers use short punchy phrases like that. The noticeable problem is now its 50% of blog posts because almost every single AI authored post uses the same phrasing, it&#x2

Very cool. One of my favorite professors in college would make 100+ slide powerpoints of algorithms and flip through them really fast in order to visualize what they were doing, it was really helpful.

I've been doing this for so long and never knew there was a reviver param, thanks - that is super useful.

Yup, it was actually an interesting article but there are a few telltale parts that sound like every AI spam post on /r/webdev and similar. "No warning. No confirmation dialog. No email notification." is another. The thr

I've seen this too in the US, the newer machines let them spin the scan around in 3D space and must make it much easier to tell if something needs inspection or not

Yes, in my area if you need to find a new doctor you literally can't. This is a major city. The online booking for any major hospital network literally shows no results because the next appointment would be 90+ days out. If you have an

The amount of docs that have a “Copy as markdown” or “Copy for AI” button has been noticeably increasing, and really helps the LLM with proper context.

You can click the three dots on any response and click "Branch in new chat". Not sure when it was added but it exists.

Different scenario but it reminds me of when Missouri prosecuted a reporter who found that teacher's SSN numbers were exposed in the HTML of a webpage > "Parson described the journalist as a “perpetrator” who “took the records

Using the plan mode in cursor (or asking claude to first come up with a plan) makes it pretty good at generic "how can I improve" prompts. It can spend more effort exploring the codebase and thinking before implementing.
