Hah. It probably shouldn't be that surprising? Most engineers learn security on the job, not school. Game devs don't deal with -- and don't need to deal with -- the kinds of security issues Google and the military do. Googl

Are you kidding? That's an insane amount of load increase to manage. "Scalability" isn't one thing, especially not at that level, so it's ridiculous to knock them for it. That amount of load ripples across your en

Someone else quoted a 14x increase in load due to AI hammering github. I wouldn't be at all shocked if that was true, considering how much AI tools are DDOSing the entire internet. That plus migrating clouds is insanely difficult to ma

Now you have two problems lol, in that you don't know if the tests are any good or actually test the thing in question. Sooner or later you run out of turtles to put on the stack.

Nah. You can succeed in every single individual thing but fail at the overall project because the parts don't align into anything that makes sense. If you need examples, look at game dev. There's plenty of games that have good exe

We don't have sci-fi AI, and in any case "this thing is now possible, therefore [much more difficult thing] will be possible soon" is not a rational thought.

People have been talking about this for literally a hundred years at this point. It's not a thing and isn't gonna be one.

I mean, it is. Textiles are a technology. Extracting usable fiber from plants or animals was something we invented, so is making yarn. Knitting was invented, and shaping cloth to a foot was too. And then there's the modern side of auto

Not a lawyer, but have friends who are, and the answer is absolutely not lol. A lot of legal language looks like code, sure. It can be formulaic and full of terms of art ("actual malice" has nothing to do with colloquial malice,

> is it so surprising that people tend to trust it more Yes and no. I think most people would agree that Wikipedia is, on the whole, a pretty great first resource on anything. It tries to be factual and accurate. Most people would also a

If you ask that, you fundamentally misunderstand the point. It's not about the LLM, it's about whether people will critically evaluate what it spits out.

And they can get you for theft, etc, if you do. Sometimes the social and legal controls are far more effective.

No, I don't have anything like that. I have a friend with diagnosed OCD and that is an entirely different beast. And I have tried cutting that stuff out (was never big on most of it anyway) and it did absolutely nothing for this sort o

Yeah, that does nothing. I love to cook, and I can cook super healthy and like it. I'm still hungry lol. There's a part of my brain that constantly thinks about food. It's like tinnitus. GLPs stopped that cold.

by habinero 3mo ago
Why? There's zero prizes for unnecessary struggle. It doesn't make you a better person, it just means you struggled more.

by habinero 3mo ago
Yeah, I posted elsewhere about it, but GLPs instantly switched that feeling off like it was throwing a breaker. It's wild.

by habinero 3mo ago
It's more like...you just don't want them? It's kind of wild. The first week I took them, I discovered there was a loop in my brain that was constantly thinking about food, and I never realized until it got switched off. That

Why? They both get you to the same place, and one is vastly more likely to work. I don't get the weird moralizing around this.

by habinero 3mo ago
Not...really? It's pretty normal. Tech companies share intelligence and knowledge all the time -- there are a lot of birds of a feather and consortium groups out there. Since a lot of places are close in proximity, companies sometimes

by habinero 3mo ago
Silicon Valley is not as large as it might seem, and knowledge sharing and consortiums and working groups happen a lot. You can complain about supply chain problems, or you can actually try to work on it. They're trying to work on it.

Threatening to revoke the rights and freedoms of your fellow citizens and put them in a hellhole is pretty antisocial and sociopathic behavior, my dude. That makes me suuuuper uncomfortable. Oh no, better throw you in jail so I don't h

Considering that's where all the people and money are in this country, it's clearly not a problem for most folk. You're entitled to your outlier opinion, of course.

I'm hearing this high pitched sound, does anyone else hear that? I clicked and scrolled through several of those studies, and those snippets are incredibly misleading. I would recommend not using these in debates, unless you want to

There's nothing to discuss? Clearly this is someone who doesn't want to communicate, and politely asking them to go elsewhere is appropriate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
