They forgot the biggest downside: when you REALLY need to stop RIGHT NOW, you're not thinking about what kind of brakes you have. You're running on instinct, and that instinct probably says "do a grabby motion with your hands

I have a post-edit hook that asks the model if this edit introduced any comments, and if it did, remove them. This was the only reliable way to get it to stop that I found.

Something I've noticed about software dev vs game design: software is better (easier to read, understand, maintain, etc) when you have clean, separated modules. Game design is better (more fun) when everything is connected (eg in an fp

I'm not super familiar with the jpeg format, but iirc h.264 uses 16x16 blocks, so if jpeg is the same then padding of 16px on all sides would presumably block all possible information leakage? Except the size of the blocked section ofc

I know this is likely to be an unpopular take but: I wish it was normal to ship your compiler in your source repo. Modern compilers are bloated as hell huge things which makes it a bit impractical, but if it was a normal thing to do then w

As someone who recently built a daily word game[1], I 100% get it. I can say from first hand experience: there's an awful lot of words that are totally valid but not fun. I spent approximately as much time on building the word list as

Would be nice to see some qualitative analyis to know if it's just slop, or actually more interesting projects. Not sure how to do that though. I think just looking at votes wouldn't work. I would guess more posts causes lower ave

And I see this argument often. People make too much fuss about the massive error messages. Just ignore everything but the first 10 lines and 99.9% of the time, the issue is obvious. People really exaggerate the amout of time and effort you

v is double& in your example, not double. But it's not obvious that omitting the & causes a copy. If you see "for (auto v : vec)" looks good right? But if vec contains eg long strings, you've now murdered your pe

IMO the biggest barrier is internal mobility. The European silicon valley never happened, because people don't want to move around. The biggest single barrier is language. I'm Irish, and young Irish people often emigrate (way more

I checked the about page on 4get.bloat.cat, and within the first paragraph of the "what is this" section, it used the phrase "globohomo bullshit". I dont think these are people I want to support.

Pay attention to people and try to be empathetic. Do this to everyone, not just those you suspect of being autistic. That's all anyone can ask of you, and it works. Autistic people aren't aliens - if you engage empathetically they
