Yes I didn't say this. I'm using it to show how absurd the original claim was.

If that claim were even reasonable in the first place you would have to accept that they were idiots long before by allowing bugs to be introduced in the first place.

How do you "throw away" the bloat when it becomes embedded through the code base? Is GitHub just going to rollback to some commit from 3 years ago?

Commenting just so I can check later what he comes back with.

Simply use a browser plugin (or any other mechanism) that invokes the agent when the "HATCHA" appears.

Number 2 is the thing, right? Why bother asking? Is a recruiter going to fly out to my high school and see if they can get records? Interview a teacher that still works there? You also are likely selecting not for high school calculus geniu

+1 to this method. Prior to having a reserved ~6 hour slot of sleep the lack of sleep was getting BAD.

Well they aren't people churning out 40k words :) I've spent very little time on ao3, but I imagine it's slightly better than RR where seemingly a mark of value is "huge length (word count and chapters)" with weekly

The metro is a much less stressful experience for me with noise cancellation on. Without them the noise in tunnels just makes me anxious. The outside tracks are all fine without them though. And for walking around - it's the traffic no

These criticisms of git always seems so shallow to me. 'add' tells git to start tracking some file(s) 'commit' tells git to save the currently tracked files 'push' says "upload my changes to some other loc

Because the same reasoning behind that statements implies that certain races are innately inferior to others. You chose to write "Asians" and "whites" here - why not make the same statement with "whites" and &q

Well the .NET random is bad. It seems really the problem is twofold: the reference is from 1992 and cites a 1981 publication's reference to an unpublished 1958 generator. Not to say that being old makes the algorithm bad, but it's

It definitely takes a lot of work. I've read that it takes a good writer themselves to translate well, since it's such an artistic endeavor.

by j_w 3mo ago
As somebody who regularly reads translated works, including the occasional machine translation (MTL), they (MTL) suck. You got a hugely biased result, which you recognize. Translation is hard. If you're familiar with reading translatio

That's when you bust out the third LLM. Nobody expects the fourth LLM to be the REAL LLM in the chain.

I don't know why any reply disagrees with this. Look at basketball in the US. The best players will tell you all they did as a kid was play basketball. You can go to anywhere somewhat populated and the outdoor courts are in use almost

Oh stop. Both of those are a bit ridiculous. We are talking about the sudden surge of data centers, the past 1-3 years, not the 20 prior to that. Sourcing a tweet that doesn't have a real source (saying source: BLS without an actual re

So give real numbers, not "all day battery life." What does "all day" even mean? It's marketing slop. All work day? All waking hours day? All 24 hour day day? An Apple release gives you a number of hours and they te

The reality is that most people write horrible code. The programming knowledge of a university student that just completed their intro programming course is abysmal. The programming knowledge of a university student that just completed the
