I'm not. But I'll concede you are possibly more literate - I won't dox myself on this account. Congratulations. If you honestly argue that LLM computation and human cognition are equivalent there is no further argument to be

Yes, in the same way I like to kill the enemies in DOOM. It's matrix multiplication. Absurd.

We'll be out of work whilst bailing out these companies with printed money and another round of inflation. The middle class will cease to exist. But hey the stock market will show higher numbers so its all good.

What happens if you build a bridge and it breaks? These people want to play god with our lives but at the same time move fast and break things. Look at software quality anywhere, it's a mess and only about to get much worse. We should

No personal attacks please. They're just cogs in the machine. The organization and process that enables it to get to this point is the problem. And that is MS, always has been.

To be fair, that makes it worse for MS, not better. This should not be vibe-coded by someone who has absolutely no idea about any of these things.

Unironically yes. I predict that costs will grow to 80% of what it would cost a human, across the board for everything AI can do. "It's still cheaper than a human" they'll say. Loudly here on HN too. Of course this will

So? Everyone is saying to just look at the LLM outputs for PRs etc. and just ignore how it was created. We should apply that standard right here too. This is Anthropics initial response, which they walked back ONLY because of the HN outrage

I'm not going to review it in full, sorry. Reviewing is so much more effort compared to producing something with AI. But don't let me deter you, keep on learning and keep on building. I wish I had the possibilities to learn and bu

I got a major reprimand because I answered too many questions posted in the public channel. All in my area of expertise, mostly after hours. At first they said it was "great". But it soon turned sour and resulted in "it seems

Lots of people haven't had to actually restore their data. Somehow it has good marketing. I used it for a while and was not impressed. Random Python errors, requires too much scripting, and at least on my data terrible restore speed. I

I've seen plenty of both. I've added one good example in my other comment. But it certainly depends on the community and programming language as to how serious licensing is treated. But yes, many people are not complying with the

The easiest way to do it is to add your own copyright line above the original LICENSE copyright line. That way anyone touching the project can just add their own line on top. Done. EDIT: Example: https://github.com/go-gite

by throwaway277432 1y ago
No! Once you change the copyright line, you no longer include "the above copyright notice". At that point you're violating the license. You are also not allowed to change the copyright notice or license text in any way (you m

I was briefly diagnosed with "99.9% sure it's cancer" before it turned out to be benign. Say about 2-3 weeks. In those few weeks my main regrets were a) not having done many of the things on my bucket list, and b) not having

I care. It's frustrating sometimes, but I still can't help myself. Working with people that also care (and are empowered to do something about it) is the greatest thing. I've worked in several such teams over the years and it
