Yes I do agree with you that having a tool that gives rocket fuel to a fraud engine should probably be regulated in some fashion. Tiered licensing, mandatory safety training, and weapon classification by law enforcement works really well f

Probably. Something like that is what I meant by “social consequences”. Perhaps there should be civil or criminal ones for more egregious cases.

I am not against regulation. Quite the opposite actually.

If you were to wager a guess, what do you think my views on gun rights are?

If it was a well understood property of calculators that they gave incorrect answers randomly then you need to adjust the way you use the tool accordingly.

Yes, LLMs didnt create the problem they just accelerated it to a speed that beggars belief.

If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool. If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist. A

Poodr is one of the best programming books ever written. Even if you don’t program in Ruby you should read it anyway (and pick up a bit of Ruby just for fun) because there are lots of great concepts to internalize that are useful in almost

I had the pleasure of Sandi Metz coming to a company I worked for and going us a “boot camp” of sorts for all of the engineering principles she espouses and it had a profound impact on how I view software development. Whatever the company

Congrats you turned Slack into (an even worse version of) Jira. This got me thinking though. Instead of turning your chat into a ticketing system, has anyone ever turned the ticketing system into a chat? Like instead of “comments” on a tic

Notwithstanding that most people using Cloudflare aren't even benefiting from what it actually provides. They just use it...because reasons.

Not to be confused with Holy C. Was searching desperately to see if it was somehow inspired by it somehow but couldn't find anything.

This looks exactly like Zen...?

by theoldgreybeard 10mo ago
This is total amateur shit. Completely unacceptable for something as critical as Cloudflare.

Django is awesome. I just prefer Rails because I prefer Ruby as a language. If you like Python then Django will get you very far.

There are games I have that don't run on even Windows 10 but work flawlessly in Wine/Proton. The amazing work the Wine team and Valve have done can't be understated.

No. I refuse to just sit back and accept being abused by the elite just because "well, that's just the way it is", "that's human nature". Holy war is also human nature. Revolution is human nature.

Every day I hate AI and big tech more and more. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them anymore, they find a way.

> Framegen can be useful but has niche application Somebody should tell that to the AAA game developers that think hitting 60fps with framegen should be their main framerate target.

The bigwigs at my company want to build out a document management suite. After talking to VP of technology about requirements I ask about security as well as what the regulatory requirements are and all I get is a blank stare. I used to th

My google account is old enough to drink in the United States. It’ll be a cold day in hell that I give them my government issued ID or let them do a face scan.
