I think you either didn't read my response or missed the point. No matter if the LLM output is useful or not, the learning outcome is hugely impacted. Negatively. It's like copying on your homework assignments. Looks like it gets

Software is rarely "done", so is quite naturally always an evolving experiment of sorts.

You're right, the phrasing was not ideal. The point stands though.

And you didn't have the mental capacity to abstract from the colored balls to whatever application domain you were interested in? Does everything have to come pre-digested for students so they don't have to do their own thinking?

The situation is not as black-and-white as you paint it. English is an ambiguous language. It's a "no op" in the sense that there is the possibility that they ship an app update in which the crypto is comprimised. Fair, that&

I see where you are coming from, and overtesting is a thing, but I really believe that the baseline of quality of all software out there is terrible. We are just so used to it and it's been normalized. But there is really no day going

I have sympathies for this argument, though it boils down to trust. Even if you roll your own client, you still need to trust some things outside of your control, be it your build environment, your phone, whatever. But most people will us

If you read it again then you will notice that I didn't claim anything about everyone, only about myself. No strawmen please. But I was asking for other issues, and you have not actually provided any?

Perfect is the main enemy of good. I rather use Signal to escape the big tech clown show than wait for another decade for the perfect tech to come along, meanwhile either not communicating with anybody or using the exact services I really w

Um, Whatsapp does that too?! Maybe there is a way to use it without a phone number, but the most common use is to have a phone number on some sign / store front with a Whatsapp symbol next to it. In many countries that's the defau

Brutal counter take: If AI tooling makes you so much better, then you started very low. In contrast, if you are already insanely productive in creative ways others can hardly achieve then chances are, AI tools don't make much of a diff

Um that article is not at all about what I expected. It solves a particular problem, which is not having a static IP address. I happen to have one, so that's not an issue. But I still have so much to consider when doing local hosting.

I'm not sure I get the premise of the article. I know what a CRDT is and how homomorphic encryption works. But why do both parties have to be online at the same time to sync? They could send the updates asynchronously, store-and-forwar
