   This matches my experience. My previous position was at a FAANG and sometimes getting a VPN link setup for a new host would take a month of approvals. Writing actual code was maybe 10-20% of what I did. Most of it was meetings, design revie

   What tools are you using? What settings? What process? What's your code review like? I think this varies a lot. I find with a c++ project I'm working on that the LLM needs a lot of guardrails and guidance, and still gets a lot wro

   MCP is fine for exposing tools that don't have APIs, but wrapping an API is an MCP is fine if you like consistency. Personally, for just tools, I wire up tool calls with context captured via system prompt.

   I gave it a try. Got a steam deck, tries steam os on my desktop. I kept running into issues that took me time to solve. I understand that the only reason it took me time to solve these issues is because I'm new to it and that people wh

   Nope. I've noticed this too, even when agreeing lots of comments start with a negative.

   I really hope I get to see a permanent settlement on Mars or the moon. I don't care who settles it I just want to see humanity reach for the stars.

    I've been seeing the same in my product; 429s in vertex. We generally avoid any Google AI for the most part because it's so unreliable.

    I think you're spot on. This will block and inconvenience legitimate users while fraudsters have no problem buying more phones. Not a useful direction for real end users.

    Is this available on the API? I didn't see instant. I see chat?

    I've met a few people who write English but can't speak it. One of them is polish and learned to type English to play online video games.

    Psychology suggestions opinion pieces (like this) are full of self serving bias and projection...

    Agreed. It's opinion and unscientific. The article fallaciously overstates the cognitive significance of shopping lists by misapplying general psychological concepts to a mundane habit. It relies on false cause and appeal to authority,

    I specifically write with different perspectives, tones, and opinions on different sites in a probably vain attempt to mitigate this. For example, on YouTube I use twitch slang, and on Reddit I use TikTok slang, and on TikTok I use reddit s

    For me, none of that stuff bothers me. What gives me the social media heartbreak is seeing the hate. Seeing commenters get so upset with each other over misunderstandings and miscommunications. I've tried completely avoiding comments,

    Interesting way to look at it. I suppose I have trouble seeing it that way because I view words as pointers to meaning. The word itself holds no intrinsic value; it's the meaning humans attach to it and the context in which it's u

    Thank you very much for the elaboration! I think I follow better. Thinking doesn't have a rigorous and testable definition, so it isn't scientific. We all have our own colloquial understand. Since it's not testable and the de
