Creating bias in models is easy. Amplifying existing biases are easy too. They aren't necessarily a sign of bias in the underlying model however. Many samples would be required for that.

If learning is the point then obviously that was a missed opportunity. If success was the intent, then it's a win. While challenges are fun, sometimes the requirement is simply to achieve the end goal, with no other point than that. If

Ironically it takes away the reason people want to live. Their joy, fun, the spark of life disappears for many people.

You didn't have what you needed; you asked an AI to help make what you needed. Problem solved. New problem created. New problem? Justifying the use of AI to do something these people act like would magically get done if you were just s

This post is for paid members only. For trivial tasks - like converting pdf to PowerPoint - are there other tools that do it automatically? Or by trivial, you mean time consuming reduction of basic facts from a pdf into a PowerPoint present

Have you seen the spec for RSS? I've vomited better things. The spec is a horrible mash up and seriously needed refinement. It made it easy to kill

Nice breakdown. My experience has been that code generated "vibe coding" is prototype worthy, but code driven to be developed with Test Driven Development mindset and with forced architectural decisions is generally supportable. T

I don't have a problem using AI. I also acknowledge, when doing so, how I use it. But, literally typing in a prompt and then massaging its output and then claiming ownership of its plan? Yeah, no. It doesn't matter if the original

"prepared to do what I do every single day in my actual scientific practice: type a prompt and receive a coherent, well-structured response that I would then lightly edit and present as my own thinking." So, plagiarism. Daily.

The hero worship of him makes me physically ill, always has. He did cost people their jobs though, so I guess he's a good person.

If it crashes it's a security issue. It should adept reject what it does not expect.

Browsers won't. No, really, they simply won't implement it.

Which means you have to structure everything around multiple scenarios anyway.

So, I need to update all the tools to support QUERY, or I need to update all the tools to support GET/body. So, either way, I need to update all the tools. Just fix GET.

by topham 3mo ago
Fixing GET would be easier. And yes,it would be fixing a flawed interpretation of what should be implemented.you are, by definition GETting something. Tools dropping body from GET by default are violating the spec today. Rules configured to

QUERY won't be supported by them either. So, change is required. Just change GET to allow for body and move on. Most of the systems that are blocking GET/body could be easily tweaked to allow it. Today. As is. QUERY will likely ne

Comment-driven development may be a useful design exercise, but calling it the only approach that follows engineering principles misunderstands engineering. Engineers don’t stop at documenting assumptions—they validate them.

There's a broken idea that AI know Python because they're written in Python. Not how any of it works.

The problem with it is you didn't solve your biggest actual problem, you just haven't had a problem bite you in the ass yet so you think your problem is solved.
