Do they mean like, a version of Windows where I don't have to go into folder options and click "show file extensions"?

They're pretty good for me, because I am still writing all the code, and it tends to catch the sorts of things humans mess up.

Not subtraction, not division.

Probably every language at once being expressed in the syntax of English.

The dream is "I have an idea for some awesome software, I will set an army of lemmings out to do all the tough work of figuring out how it actually works". Well I do have an idea for some awesome software, I know exactly what the

I don't understand how people are using AI. A lot of the time, what I want to build, doesn't have a succinct English sentence to describe it. If I describe the user requirement I just get a Fisher-Price toy thing that kind of igno

Yeah, still write by hand. Even though the translation from English algorithm to code is the "boring" part that an LLM can do, the process of doing that works as a kind of REM sleep where I'm coming up with ways to make the p

Maybe we could all pitch in on the most evil book ever, with instructions on how to do every possible horrible thing. Then there would be no reason to add all this censorship to the models, since there will be easy-to-find instructions on h

Lots of copies of the Windows source code still on GitHub, which is problematic if you're interested in NT and want to contribute to Wine or something...hard to avoid running into restricted code

Usually when this type of thing happens, all the major players decide to do it at the same time.

It's clearly smarter than any PhD and dumber than any ant.

Yeah, you read it and expect the inversion to be inside-out or upside-down, defined in some hopelessly arcane way.

Works well enough that 1800 cals a day satiates. Caffeine on its own doesn't cut it. I'm scared of intestinal motility sides from GLPs.

Losing 5 pounds a month, 20 down and 10 to go.

Ephedrine isn't banned, not even behind a prescription, there's just rather strict limits on how much you can buy a month. I take a Bronkaid every morning with my coffee.

Hey, it forgot to change the README!

What if it's a really good bit?

Maybe soon there will be a market for a phone specifically for use as a dummy, to get past all this nonsense.

"PERMISSION_SYSTEM" meaning you can bypass the VPN, with no option to override from the user, looks broken by design to me.

Or place offhand comments on potential malicious uses of code, to freak it out.

Interesting how so much money is wasted, likely because they put a period instead of a comma.

Perhaps we could have one column of text that contains the content with no tone, and a second column of text that contains only the tone with no content.

It would hide all comments in the thread, including this one.

Why didn't they open the source themselves? What's the point of all this secrecy anyway?

by ptrl600 6mo ago
Hey, the user doesn't need a Google account, that's good. Still a danger of frog boiling but not as bad as I was expecting.

Bring on the AI interviews. I can memorize all the trivia they want. At least then I have a fighting chance, otherwise it's no interview with no reason given. More productive to sweet talk clankers.

Looks like a shoo-in for my next phone!

I'd assume it's riffing on Java EE.

Assimil, L-R method (parallel texts w/audiobook), essentially redoing a grade school education, AJATT, ginormous Anki decks full of sentences...

Just like in Asimov's "Monkey's Finger".
