The hug of death.

While I mostly agree with you, this is the kind of thing that might not have been done if the AI couldn't do the heavy lifting. They had previously chosen React Native because it was easier for programmers to keep it updated, since it

No. Sony has recently removed 551 movies that people "bought". Sony's distribution license ran out with a studio and they didn't renew it. They seem to have gotten away with it so far, so there's no legal protec

That was my experience with Claude when my vibe-coded project was small. But now that I've been working on it a month and there's a lot of documentation, it's pretty clearly ignoring parts of the documentation and parts of

It's new in that it's not really a hybrid. It isn't meant to take over when you run out of battery. It's meant as an emergency recharge for the battery to get you to the next charging station. Hybrids can just run on g

Probably 20TB here, 10.11.11, upgrade was smooth and quick. Maybe a few minutes of migration time? I was actually just getting frustrated with Jellyfin performance and had just told my wife last night that I was switching back to Plex.

I don't think it's generalizable. The kind of person who copy and pastes from the AI is the kind who did the same from StackOverflow before. It's more compelling, and we probably see more of them because of it, but it'

If nobody owns the work, then nobody can stop you from changing it, either.

I'm guessing the n0g part. I would never have thought that if someone hadn't said it. I'd have thought of "egg nog" long before a racial slur.

And I'd argue that it should . He opened the door, and I find it very, very unlikely that either side will close it after this. Dems and Reps will both use this to take control in ways that would have been unthinkable prior to Trum

Unfortunately, AI models are trained on humans, and so they're getting that whether we like it or not. I'd also prefer it to be neutral, but I don't think it's possible and the second-best option is to have models from

As a non-European, I care. I definitely want choice in this matter, as too many things can be baked into models that we can't really know until it comes up. For instance, I heard one of the Chinese models has some interesting "hi

I am a developer, but my wife is a tester. And I've always enjoyed logic puzzles. :D

Hilarious, but he never actually said he'd stop writing, just that he'd continue writing until proven wrong. And provably, he did. He wrote until then, and continued after. Since he never stopped writing, he met the challenge.

I have exactly the same problem. Firefox uses far too much RAM. I ended up going back to Chrome over it, even though I prefer Firefox otherwise.

I'm old enough to remember when AI meant a certain things, and games hijacked that to mean "some routines that make NPCs do things" and it's just gone from there. Gamers at the time were vocal about the "AI" n

Don't be too mad at your friends. People are not receptive to being told they're odd. And as much as they might say "we knew", they didn't really . They might have suspected, but they cannot diagnose you. Man

Do you have an example of these "furniture panels" that are higher quality and require less effort than a mod to a fully-realized piece of furniture with easy instructions? I left off "as cheap" because you didn't s

Yes, that's exactly what they were talking about. It says right in that page that sufficient changes can allow them to copyright the work, and it also says that their decision can be challenged.

I've seen a lot of people who seem to think it's inevitable that they'll get resets, making them more likely to over-spend early because they'll get a reset anyhow. It could leave them out of availability later when they

Yeah, the only time I see people talking about money-making side projects is when it's practically impossible to copy them. I can't see the advantage of bragging about a side project if the threat of losing marketshare for it is

I'd also love to hear your setup? How much VRAM/RAM, I assume Qwen 3.8 27b, what harness, are you using any particular skill set?

by wccrawford 24d ago
That's funny, because I just went through the opposite. I got llama.cpp working with qwen3.6 and qwen3.8 by Googling and manually adjusting things according to reddit posts and Google not-really-helpful AI suggestions. I tried settings

You don't think this is just a joke that multiple people thought of independently? Some of them might be in reaction to a local event, or even a worldwide event that had no local impact. But I think they're mostly just jokes.

by wccrawford 26d ago
I'm still getting there, but I've seen this. I spent hours a couple days ago trying to get pi, llamacpp, and qwen3.6 working well. I had them working before, but not well. I Googled, and I followed it's instructions an

Plus, it'll go stale as quickly as comments do. Some might be correct, but I think a lot of code gets fixed or changed pretty quickly, meaning the pseudocode is basically useless afterwards, unless it's updated... And that'

Yeah. I think it'd be fun to watch an LLM try, though. I'm imagining that it'll really show all the things in the UML that don't fully make sense, but look great at first.

Have you not met humans that do that, too? When it was found that smoking causes cancer, many, many people kept doing it. Then the government taxed the crap out of it, and some people still do it. It's easy to say that people have

That's my thought. I've been using Matt Pocock's wayfinder and grilling skills, and I quite often end up in what would be considered "arguing" if done with another person. It's one-sided. It says something w

I think that just adds another unnecessary level of abstraction that you then have to understand before you can approve. It feels like taking a half-step backwards before moving forwards again.
