Well I can say for sure I'd rather wear long lasting, tested (second hand), human made clothing rather than Shein Slop

The brand you're looking for is "Superfest". It would be nice if Corning made unbreakable glasses, since they were essentially made of a precursor to gorilla glass

Theyre asking programmers to become managers, asking another entity to do the work for them and check in every now and again to see how it's going

Is it just me that doesnt like automatically returning the last statement in functions? It makes it hard to see where a function returns, and I dont see how you would do a guard clause at the start of a function without having the entire re

What if I don't want to automate away the part of my job that I actually like doing? What if, in my job as a programmer, I actually want to do programming?

At some point, I hope that people will realise that when you can just ask a tool nicely to exfiltrate data, and it actually does that, that tool is not secure and should never ever be used in any situation where security is even slightly im

Is there a list somewhere of jailbreak-able kindles? I've been thinking of getting one to toy with for a while, but I don't want to accidentally get one that is more heavily locked down, or that we cant run our own code on for som

How does "CAD" go down? Sure, there are online CAD systems (onshape), but there are offline ones too (fusion, freecad)

They may have gotten down to only 2 nines on most of their services, but at least the LLM is still running at full power! must increase value for shareholders

Aren't the xhtml and TeX already artifacts though? They are produced from a script that parses the ODT

> "I would love if the XHTML and TeX were artifacts rather than code" What's an "artifact"? I don't come from a writing background, so it may be obvious to some people, but I only know that word in a histor

I leave HN on default everything, but I have a 1080p monitor so it might look bigger for me than someone with a higher resolution monitor... I don't know how that works. But I often have to zoom out of websites linked here because the

"Droids" could be considered a race in star wars, and it doesnt directly apply to black people, its used in a similar way

Weighted blankets are lovely if you have a neurodivergence that likes being enclosed (like me). But they are even more unbearable in hot weather

I'm not saying that LLMs are human, I'm saying that casually using slurs in any context is not a good mindset

Whereas I don't think justifying the use of a slur, a word that is commonly used to be derogatory, is a good thing, even when using it in other contexts. "It's ok because its not a human" feels dangerously close to justi

by voidUpdate 4mo ago
Well maybe other people are different, but I'd feel uncomfortable using a slur against things as well as people. I don't have many qualms about using an insult to a specific item if I feel it's warranted, but using a racial s

There are many races in star wars, not all of which are humans. You could be racist against Gungans or Twi'lek if you wanted. Droids in star wars could be interpreted as fairly close to human in some cases, but are used as a slave race

> "Even if it was a slur (I don’t consider it one)" The term was literally created in star wars to use as a racial slur against droids
325.
by voidUpdate 4mo ago
As I understand it, "clanker" was a term created in star wars for people to refer to droids in a deliberately derogatory way. It is quite literally a racial slur created in a fictional universe, which people are now using against

Seems like that article is saying that YAML 1.1 is bad, but 1.2 is good? Which would be fine, except I am parsing YAML 1.1 files (as indicated by a directive at the top). I don't control the format of the data

My preference is that if you need to use terabytes of data to train an LLM, that data should be used according to its copyright, and with the consent of the copyright holder, not just hoovered up from wherever you can find just a few bytes
