I’m not saying whether I think you’re right or wrong, but AI text detectors don’t work and never will.

Well that's kind of understandable, isn't it? In the USENET era, internet users were a subculture. In 2026, almost everyone is an internet user. It's kind of like saying "As someone whose first car was a Model T, I don&#

This is also extremely interesting to me. An instant, ephemeral cloud sandbox is pretty handy.

This is a constant issue for me in every facet of embedded development - with the sole exception of devices that can easily be tested in a qemu environment. I would also love to hear that the authors of this book suggest.

> Credit card entry If you're handling credit card numbers yourself, you're in a shrinking subset of developer roles. I've spent the last 7 years of my career working at payment processors, so I do handle that stuff, but

I see where you're coming from, but as someone who regularly interviews engineers, I don't care about specific tech stacks when evaluating a candidate very much either. I can only think of two positions I've worked in where s

To be fair, for the vast majority of cases, no you don't. It is extremely rare for companies to roll their own payment processing anymore, or even handle PCI scope at all.

Thank you, that's extremely clarifying. There's so much confidence in these comments about apparently nothing.

Thank you! I have heard of this before and did not know what it was called.

I’m not sure what capitalization has to do with anything. You can answer my question without being a pedant.

I think you all might be using the wrong terminology here. The Observer Effect is a part of quantum physics. I was shocked to learn there was a psychological phenomenon by the same name and went to read up on it, but there doesn't seem

This wasn't just capable last year, it was capable prior to ChatGPT existing entirely through specialized automation harnesses that predate the terminology of a "harness" for models. This is something you could have done in 2

Your meaning was not clear, which was why I made certain to explain why your two comments do not mean the same thing. If that was not enough to explain why what you said was incredibly inaccurate and toes the line of fascist propaganda, I w

Your phrasing in the post I replied to is not the phrasing you are using now. People frequently do bad things to people that they think are the right thing and that they still know are not “for [the victim’s] own good”. For example, removin

Coping with what? Your reply is too full of buzzwords and vague assumptions to understand what point you are trying to make or what you believe you have inferred from me.

> they were sincerely meant to be for people's own good That is an incredibly offensive bastardization of history.

This has nothing to do with LLMs.

by devmor 2mo ago
Why on earth do you think an LLM would be capable of detecting problems with a listing like that without a human doing so first? LLMs are just as gameable as SEO, if not more so.

The "steering assist" feature in new cars is terrifying, and has almost severely injured or killed me once. When my car was last receiving service, I was given a loaner vehicle with this new feature. I was driving home in the rain

Yeah, let’s not let a little thing like safety get in the way of disrupting the “staying alive” paradigm.

You hit on the point at the end… It’s not a bad comparison, it’s an apt one.

Anything you might want to do with a radio or IR device but don’t have specialized hardware for. It’s kind of a swiss knife/leatherman tool for short range communications standards.

Ah yes, and I wasn’t allowed a google search during my whiteboard interview, which was totally also discrimination. It is certainly not that case that the point of these exercises is to examine how you, as a person think and approach proble

Elaborate? It seems like a fun joke making light of Sony’s announcement this week.

Showing what you have done to help yourself is by far the most effective way to get help in my experience - not only does it show that you aren’t just helpless and will be a drain on resources, it also gives the person helping you a jumping

I think comparing vocalized, intentional communication with chemical signaling is reductive and does not support your point at all. Humans also emit pheromones, this is not the same as, or related in any way to language.

Animals don’t have language the same way we do, but many of them do have some kind of semi-structured communication. Cats for example, when domesticated, develop an entirely parallel method of communication specifically to interact with hum
