That's true and fair, and re-reading OP it doesn't address hallucinations exactly either. I was more thinking of it as a toy example for non-tech folk (grandma?) to see that what and how you ask LLMs matters in how the sycophancy

Not that I've had to deal with this specifically, but I have noticed how the input phrasing in my prompts pushes the LLM in different directions. I've just tried a quick test with `duck.ai` on gpt 4o-mini with: A: Why is drinking

MkDocs with the Material for MkDocs theme has reasonable blogging support, and a dockerized image for building. It also has some other features like footnotes, mermaid diagrams, and "code annotations" for code blocks. Type markdow

MkDocs with the "Material for MkDocs" theme and it has a docker based builder image if you want a one-line isolated build command. Mostly pure Markdown with opt-in syntax extensions for fancy things like card grids or tables.

That bill passed the Commons, but has been amended by the Lords (I know the Commons can override the Lords if it wants to, but it's not at that stage yet) https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3153/stages

Wow, I'm impressed how grumpy one can seem in a few short sentences. Take an upvote for that alone. GP has a certain - admittedly orthogonal - point. At what point does "just two coffees per month" translate into "too ma

I don't see a comment here for MkDocs, so I'll mention it. It was started as a pet project for development knowledge, specifically migrating to local Docker-powered development environments. Initially that was all it had: the &quo

Would you feel this way if he'd won big after buying a lottery ticket, or received an inheritance from a family member? He took a risk (potentially, maybe he's the founder, maybe it's equity) and it paid off. It could just as

As a British expat living in Asia, I was heavily amused to read this passage in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age : There was lengthy discourse between the two men on which of them was more honored to be in the company of the other, f

I'm resistant to GraphQL, although I take the caveat that I was also initially resistant to JSX and CSS-in-JS and my thinking has since evolved. My two main annoyances are a) GraphQL could be thought of as a custom media type that almo

Not a moral problem? Humanist? Why can't we have nice things and do this out of simple human empathy for those who suffer?

I don't necessarily disagree with this - I've often felt like the criteria used to make software development decisions should be more empirical (YAGNI etc, schemas, contracts - not the whole formal specification bucket, but formal

I was born 17.09.1990, exactly a year off. I grew up with Linux and am eternally grateful to the "scene" surrounding the magazine CDs with - I don't know - like 17 distros packed in together and endless tutorials on each of t

You're quite right - I have some trouble with "modal" popup windows and the Atlassian Single Sign On in particular with the temporary extensions tab. But I eventually figured out to copy and paste those URLs and manually whit

I've struggled with this personally at our company. A sibling comment mentioned a README for each project/process. That's definitely a solid start for building this up from nothing. Copy open source project README files: 1) w

Without diving into the ins-and-outs of this, my current contract contains a claim like this. Well outside the US, and the UK/EU - it's in South East Asia. It says something like "on company equipment" and/or "

I just had to look up that claim, and it seems that Turing admitted a homosexual relationship during a police investigation about his house being burgled, seeing as that relationship was with the accused burglar. That's slightly differ

I see what you mean, but I suspect the author might be referring to the Russian disinformation campaign to favour Republicans. I see it just as an example - obviously it can be adapted in either direction, or both just to deter voter partic

Ah, crikey. It's always tricky to defend a position against a well-reasoned critique, but I'll try ;) 1) I typed a few answers to this, but I'll simplify. No, it isn't OK. But (please, please understand this is sort of a

I had no idea :D I just thought they were exceptionally robust, and - ironically - cheap as chips at the time. Now that I think about it, yes, the term "chiclet" clearly contrasts with those older models. I have quite a few buried

Just in case this strikes anyone as dismissive, I too sincerely miss the old, beige keyboards that used to come with things like the old IBM, Tiny, MiTac, and Amiga brands I scavenged as a teenager. And those things were _robust_ - you coul

We've had one, and we're not halfway to the next one. I'm amused to some degree that the idea of another referendum is anathema to some, but the idea of a third election in (almost) as many years is somehow a better idea. If
