The fatigue aspect matters too, but another important point I was trying to get across is that not all reviews are created equally. In a working, well tested, properly factored system, with a high quality PR, I can do a cursory, local analy

Assuming the LLM never got anything wrong or otherwise had to be re-prompted, that means your devs were reviewing 130 SLOC per hour, on what was described as moderately greenfield (examining new implementations rather than comparing to old

I've had good luck disabling the internet when I need my work computer to run faster. Those "security" checks are optional, and it'll let you work offline. If just logging filesystem interactions and whatnot for future u

My doctor's privacy policy is a bit more abusive than OpenAI's. It exists mostly because of a $%^&&* legal framework rather than malice, and I've grown accustomed to "if I don't want to die then I sign away

Those are two separate questions: > How can I afford? Mostly not my money, tech makes one fabulously wealthy, I care more about math than fast cars or whatever (even as a pizza driver you can afford a fancy car if that's your primar

It's a medieval measurement, still in popular use. Nowadays it means approximately 2.54 centimeters. Historically, it's the height of the ash pile a "witch" would leave behind, and the word has morphed only slightly from

Not a counterpoint per se, but I burned $50k recently on a much more modest math problem (result already known, just thought I had a sketch of a more interesting proof), and the LLM thought it had proved it within those bounds but had inste

The streets are power washed often enough that it's usually fine, at least if you're careful where you step.

What happens when "security" includes a time component? A shocking number of modern systems depend on time, either in enough time having elapsed to prove something about the attacker, or in little enough time elapsing as a critica

Yep. The next step is getting people to bother aiming for the urinal and hanging their member above it while shaking off any last drops. Till then, I don't think this design survives a collision with the real world.

I normally go with `.*/` -- I find that hidden files are much more likely than hidden directories to be useful.

IME people are usually shoving their personal preferences in CLAUDE.md, sometimes automatically as the agent updates the file with that developer's pet peeves. - Right now at $WORK, CLAUDE.md has a line saying to put one-off scripts in

I bet you're right. Why though? I've gotten thousands of uses out of mine. Even if you shop infrequently that just means they'll wear out more slowly, so surely that's viable for everyone else, maybe with a 7yr break-eve

I'm not sure what else might happen, but at a minimum the Babel Fish will finally be real, even without internet.

I'd be surprised if the 3 judges share a common language other than English at the requisite level for judging writing.

It probably just literally doesn't work for most people. If you click through, see a broken page, and see that the top comment thinks the way in which it's broken is interesting, that'll probably be more interesting to engage

Being good at a thing and explaining it well are different skills. Part of the problem is that you have to empathize with your audience when explaining. It's not sufficient to break a problem down into its essence; its "essence&qu

It's a trade-off, especially for longer paths, especially when you count the cost of server RAM cache misses.

It's gotten pretty good (finally good enough that you can observe it in the game's macroeconomics), but if you're any good as a programmer then it's no work whatsoever to build something which can bypass it indefinitely.

But... there weren't. The other "players," China included, had duck all to show for it. Did they have the same potential capabilities? Sure, maybe. It wasn't just a profitability thing though. Their models sucked. China

I can answer your direct question if you'd like, but I'm actually missing what I think is some larger point in why you asked it. Would you be okay elaborating please?

Fiat never works for linguistic shifts. That order is about as likely to work as telling a kid to stop saying "six seven."
