That really stinks, sorry you had to experience that. I feel like it's the nature of these social media companies anymore. They use automated enforcement and the appeals process is impossible. :/ Will keep an eye out, this is very

Checked the project out, while basic from an engineering perspective, does feel like it meets a niche, and how's that a crime? I'm inclined to buy once I see others test it (I hate being a beta tester, no offense intended). $250 f

Logic does not follow to me. Plenty of drugs, used in moderation, are also relaxing and can be enjoyable to the senses. Alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and marijuana products ARE drugs, not sure why people insist on making the distinction.

My advice is to walk away, use the alternatives like FreeTube, Invidious, etc. They don't work quite as well in my experience, but you don't have Daddy Google breathing down your neck. Google doesn't care about you and will n

I will say they have made it increasingly difficult to do that. Behind VPN? "Log in to confirm you're not a bot." Someone says the f-word or talks about a no-no topic? (oh no!) "Age restricted video, log in to prove your

It is probably easier to ask who isn't.

That's the trouble isn't it? If we can't even agree on the meaning. I didn't read it that way specifically because of the use of "you", which to me feels like an invocation of the audience or the royal "y

I was hoping this would be more fleshed out as an article, but the sentiment is understandable. Want to throw some of my knowledge of digital music, as you called it out specifically. In the late 90s most digitally arranged music production

Still having some issues that match my previous comment, I'll try to follow your blog and give more feedback as you work on it. Will comment that the shorter phrases (2-4 characters long) were generally accurate at normal speed, but th

This matches my experience so hard that I wrote a novel below, have seen this pattern a lot, wanted to expand so people can understand the cycle/pattern. Let's propose a generic scenario that shows why being able to engineer and r

Probably not a good comment... I'm so ancient I mistakenly linked it mentally with SmarterChild. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmarterChild

> you don’t have standards. The problem is that LLM mess up things as basic as math and dates, and that's before the context gets too large and it starts making other mistakes. Edit: Also LLM over mock tests and juniors trust that..

胖 (pàng) means fat, vs 盘 (pán), which means plate. Quite alright! We have to make mistakes to learn!

Made a similar comment. It's great for tenured engineers, when we use it . When juniors use LLM, because they don't have experience, it becomes a nightmare for tenured engineers, and we just end up "mopping the slop", a

I really like this one. It's delightfully cheeky. :)

This is the correct. I was first called this by a Chinese classmate from Beijing with a biting sense of humor, when I was at university in Tokyo. We got on really well, to be clear. :) Hanging out with him was actually how I got started wit

If you don't understand code, you're asking for a whole heap of trouble. Why? You can't validate the LLM outputs properly, and commit bugs and maybe even blatantly non-functional code. My company is pressuring juniors to use

Longtime lurker, made an account specifically to give feedback here as an intermediate speaker. :) This is a great initiative and I hope to see more come out of this; I am not criticizing, but just want to provide my user experience here so
