I work on brain dead crud apps much of my time and get nothing from LLMs.

You just listed a set of blockbuster movies mostly aimed at children and teens. You’re not going to relate to that category as much anymore because you’re not a child. The superhero movies that have filled that niche are by any measures wil

Are you sure you’re not mixing up cause and effect here?

It’s 2025 and everyone is terminally online, this is not a small subset of people. There is also a generation divide here.

The black market is only more competitive because it doesn’t bear the costs of actually creating the content.

Autonomous systems are advantageous to humans in that they can be scaled to much greater degrees. We must naturally ensure that these systems do not make the same mistakes humans do.

Lazy developers are going to choose the path of least resistance. A well designed type system will be intuitive, communicate well the original developer's wishes, and add lots of friction for doing stupid things. A lazy developer will

I can understand how developers would be scared of tree structures. This doesn't make sense when you specifically call out people with degrees however, as we worked with trees to a fault in my Computer Science degree. But maybe I&#x27

But we know that variable names do not matter whatsoever to a compiler. Now I do agree with you intuitively that LLMs perform better on meaningful variable names, without looking at hard data - but I don't think it has anything to do

LLMs do not have brains and there is no evidence as far as I know that they "think" like human beings do.

These are orthogonal concerns. Passkeys don't meaningfully simplify the account creation process.

The email is ultimately the second factor that lets you make important changes to the account in many cases. For example, changing your password. It's more important than the password in nearly every security critical account I have.

Why would college educated developers hate node or tree structures? That’s half of our degrees!

You could widen sidewalks, place bike lanes, or plant trees in those parking spaces for the equivalent effect. Also the residential dichotomy isn’t true for lots of areas of the city. I live next to an office building, for example.

Your example is of a greenfield project rather than living code that is constantly updated, in some cases by many people simultaneously. The compiler being a gate for correctness is far superior in the latter case.

Most people at these schools do have family locally to be fair.

My dad used to come home from work and park his butt in front of the tv the whole evening. He still does that, except he’s on his phone now. Not a massive difference.

How would you account for the fact that for many words, there isn't a consistent pronunciation rule for it at all? For example, I would guess that 50% of English speakers are non-rhotic.

I already give up way too much of my own home to an employer with a desk. I live in 700 square feet and I’m not giving up anymore!

I have never been in a work environment in which I’ve been able to do more than rubber stamp PRs. Performing a deep review of each change is simply impossible with the expectations we were given.

TV shows and movies often have subliminal ads. A character will use a specific type of phone for example.

In the early 2010s not being on Facebook meant you couldn’t really engage with university clubs, neighborhood groups, etc. Now a lot of that stuff is on WhatsApp.

Rubber stamp PRs have the norm at every single place I have worked. No one has the time or mental energy for reading other’s code. Also why would we not just get another AI to do code review? It would be significantly faster and cheaper tha

This solution clearly does not actually work. Musicians make pittances off of streaming in comparison to the money they made with physical media. Hollywood has seen strikes and streaming services continually raise prices.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but if you sign up for Cloudflare, you have to give it access to your private key in order for it to MITM you right?

Poor families take public transit, they don’t drive. Reducing congestion makes public transit better. If you’re in a place where everyone drives, even the poor, then this thread is irrelevant.

>Had the e-bike killed my wife That’s ridiculous. How many e-bikes do you think caused fatal accidents last year in the US?? Are you legitimately scared of this happening?

These kinds of comments always leave me a little puzzled. The people working at the grocery store may well be low income people as well, as well as anyone on the chain of growing and transporting that food.
