Yes, you have a point here

I honestly feel personally attacked by this and I don't consider myself to be an out of touch kung fu master or technologist at all. It is just very odd to read such an inflammatory comment on HN and then have people pretend this is co

Absolutely correct take. People are so caught up in doing the bidding, they forget what it is all about.

We really have to postpone the IPOs because of security reasons, these LLMs cannot be trusted

This actually looks very useful, good work

Eerily accurate how it works these days, I wish you weren't correct. I met a DBA wizard (he looked like the creator of c++) at a banking IT dept and this guy intuitively sensed what you needed and how its done.

Are you load-bearingophobic?

I'm starting to believe computer work and screens make me lose touch with reality and dissociate. I remember starting an apprenticeship as a dev in 2015 and I saw a guy like me, but 2 years in, with deep eye bags and he just smiled, di

Exactly this, if you count the amount of time the windows 11 context menu needs to pop up and then the second click to get to the old context menu across the entire globe for a month, you would get an insane amount of time and cycles wasted

That is a case I only become aware of when I read blogs like this. Technically I could solve it the same way, but these days you have so many tasks on your desk, you don't think about the problem and implications at all and that awaren

I was pretty early in the LLM stuff and I got called out on using it back in the day, because I showed the exact symptoms we see now, but as soon as management jumped on the train all the coworkers did a 180 and I alt tabbed out into a diff

I wish this was always possible, but sometimes you do it when stuff is ambigous or the task is almost undefined and you just can't reach far enough for someone to fix it, so going over it and talking is simpler

In essence, you are correct. What I see with LLMs is how they will happily make up stuff, meanwhile you can pretty much exhaust SO, until you are forced to understand the problem you are having. You don't have to be a certain person to

I can share a weird story: Usually, I take my time to understand each keyword of the code I'm looking at, especially if it is new to me, like terraform. I work in a team/with one architect, who only did the DevOps/Infra stuff

I must live in a different world or it feels like I'm reading LLM generated comments, but who exactly is falling for this marketing? I even keep seeing obvious stealth marketing like this: "<topic> and how do I use it with &

Very true, unfortunately it is just about repeating something for long enough so you micro agree on certain things and adopt a new "normal" and that volume of info is getting out of hand

I think this is a marketing campaign

How exactly does that work? How can you sneak a live feed past detection systems? It is incomprehensible to me, considering this is highly regulated and sensitive data. It is just open ports sending what they shouldn't be sending all t

I wish something would finally happen, because I'm really tired of pretending I care about this stuff at work at this point

Exactly, he is monetizing the dramaslop. A sack of rice falls over and suddenly the world is on the brink of collapse. A fun exercise to see how lunatic this pattern of fear is, you can look for an echo chamber you know nothing about, maybe

This is the way it is, you have to create entropy around yourself by moving in the world. As you have little influence over the perception of others, it is best to find an environment you can work in. I'm not sure if it has anything to

Has anyone ever asked themselves why AI was made publically available in the first place? is it really economics or is it about training people to recognize the patterns of machine generated words and ideas?

In fact, we should put an AI Tax on everything you buy, because AI was used somewhere to make it

"Who is left buying it all?" Nobody cares about that at the top. At some point they will have robots doing their bidding and the people at the bottom are economically squeezed to build and "train" their replacement. Once

Anger seems to me is a form of self protection, splitting from frustration and articulation of one's own needs. If frustration reaches a certain threshold, anger pops up and explodes. Happy to read what everyone thinks about this

Plus, when you ssh into a server and don't want to or can't rdp it, you at least have more degrees of freedom when you juggle complicated commands, like k9s
