The only way to make check whether a LLM output is true is to do the work (to have it dkne by a real person). For tasks that are trivial to verify, it's ok: a code compiler will run the code written by a LLM. Or: ask a LLM to help you

That's exactly the kind of resource I was looking for, to help friends (and myself!) with the basics of using a computer for programming.

I agree! That's why I set up my own thing. I don't care about analytics at all, so I just wrote a simple build system doto generate some very basic HTML redirects. It isn't perfect but it's very cheap to run! https:&#x2

That was unclear for me too, so I opened an issue (the very first of the project, yay!). The instructions have been updated, they might be a bit clearer now: direct contributions to the code are welcome.

I think the website could use an "about" section, with some examples. At first glance I thought it was an alternative to wetransfer, but it isn't!

It's quite hard to create something that works optimally on a first try. I think I never managed to do so! The first schema was slow, but hey, it worked, good job! That is a huge first step. Modifying it so it runs much faster can defi

I just tried it, I love it! Thanks! I work in software testing: this is my new capture tool because it will save me a lot of time.

Yep, you still have to deal with all kind of people when you do OS, and that isn't always nice. I once made a PR to a project I use a lot at work. The PR was about the documentation of the project, so no change to any feature, no new t

I really hope that Intel wakes up: struggling with fab processes is not their biggest problem, their marketing strategy is. There are some really talented engineers in there, but the product segmentation and the way the "features"

I don't mind the "-gates" : issues are bound to arise. The only way to avoid "-gates" is to stop producing and selling anything at all. Modifying a manufacturing process to correct a flaw is not always easy and can

Bad news: Apple takes us for fools, again. this sucks. Good news: many businesses and influencers (iFixit, Louis Rossman, Linus Tech Tips ...) are talking about it. This is bad press for Apple. The more noise we make about these issues, the

That is a compelling argument. Be careful with the terms of use though, they can hide a few surprises. Example: in Vectary's terms of use[1] I interpret the section 4.6 as "backing-up your data is your responsibility. If our serve

Oops! Sorry for the huge typo in my comment. "they having only some portions of their needs met" should be read "they are fine with having only some portions of their needs met". (It is a bit more than a typo)

I agree with the author : start simple, then use more complex tools when and if you need to. I believe it is true about infrastructure, and about features and code as well. When my team needs to release a functionality for the "product

I had my doubts about Rust. I knew it was a powerfull tool, but I thought it was too hard to learn, to complex, and that it was reserved for heavily resources-constrained environments, or any other situation where pure performance was one o

I get that Intel feels threatened by AMD. They are trying to impress the consumers... but bullshitting a demo is a very bad move! When a consumer decides to build a new PC, the characteristics of the product matter, but so does the reputati
