No reasonable person would believe this, it's the equivalent of believing that when someone asked their associate to make another person "sleep with the fishes" they were talking about an aquarium trip. It's just obvious

Thank you, couldn't have said it better myself. It's plain and unambiguous.

It's a fact he attempted a coup, the evidence is in the public record, the Trump–Raffensperger phone call was literally recorded and we have it. He was calling around everyone certifying the results pressuring them not to do so, and as

Attempting it and failing doesn't mean he didn't attempt it. He actively tried to stop the results being certified, he tried to get people to fraudulently invent votes for him. We have the Trump–Raffensperger call on tape, the evi

He literally attempted a coup, it's pretty amazing people are still trying to act like this is exaggeration or unreasonable. It's not guaranteed, no, and I sincerely doubt we are going to see Trump literally cancel elections, but

It's not crying wolf to ask the question (yes, leading questions can be used that way, but they are clearly asking here, not trying to imply), they presented the thing that concerned them to get eyes on it and find out if it was a prob

A big deal-breaker for Postgres pub/sub is the messages have a maximum size of 8000 bytes. The recommended work around is to put data in a table and send IDs, but then you have to deal with garbage collecting that if you don't wan

There is the :user-invalid pseudo-class that lets you avoid this to some extent, but it has some inflexibility that may mean it isn't enough, depending on your use case. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs&#x2

Couldn't disagree more. Browser features can be much better at handling edge cases: disability, localisation, unusual devices, different input methods, weird screen sizes, etc... rather than hoping every developer does it right, buildi

It's a shame, I like the tools generally, but so much stuff is just about bombarding you with ads now, paying for a good tool is, to me, meant to be the way to avoid that, that really soured me on it all.

At launch it'd pop open the UI every time you opened any of the tools, and you couldn't uninstall the plugin. I understand you can now disable it, but it was annoying at the time, and demonstrated the issue I had with feeling like

I'd been subscribed for the best part of a decade to their all products pack, liked the products, but they kept doing stuff that really rubbed me the wrong way in a paid product, e.g: shoving the AI offering down my throat and initia

When I was in Cambridge Virgin Media used to throttle to dial-up speeds at peak times. Meanwhile, I was still getting advertising leaflets from them through the door trying to sign new people up. Active fraud selling people a service you k

I've got a Boox Note 3 and love it for what it is (my hardware has been fine), but I'd find it very hard to recommend generally. Boox are dodgy at best (GPL violations, random connections to china, etc...), you start with an alr

I wouldn't call it slang, it is the common way to refer to the act in media, and the government uses it, e.g: https://www.gov.uk/report-flytipping (they do define it, however, as you say, it would be unclear if you are

Tip is definitely more common everywhere I've lived in the UK. Stig of the Dump is set in an informal place people dump rubbish, if I remember correctly, which is where people are more likely to use the term (e.g: "what a dump&quo

While it's true it is a little easier, I also don't find I ever do it. Admittedly, this no doubt depends on skin and use case, and I only shave around my beard, not all over. For my use case, I find the multiple blades get clogged

That's a separate issue. LLMs are not better than average software developers, and I sincerely doubt they are better than the average doctor. I'm not expecting perfect, I'm expecting not literally every non-trivial response t

by Latty 2y ago
Yeah, to be clear that wasn't blaming you, clearly the core issue is the lack of real healthcare options.
141.
by Latty 2y ago
My experience of LLMs as a developer with code is they are excellent at producing reasonable looking stuff that is slightly wrong in hard to spot ways. The idea of people using them for medicine is frankly terrifying to me.

New laws can be passed to put new policy into place and change those long-standing things explicitly.

What? I've written a bunch of Elm doing JSON parsing and this just isn't true at all. Writing the decoders isn't hard and gives you nice typed and consistent data formats, which is extremely useful. I don't know what you

Am I misunderstanding you, or are you extremely misinformed? Elm can definitely consume JSON APIs. https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/json/latest/ https://package.elm-lang.org/pack

A massive overstatement. Even ignoring everything else, cars may have started down the touchscreen route (which is insane for anything the driver is using), but that is recent and not universal still. I can't believe there is a profess

When I talk Passkeys, I definitely mean hardware by default, which is how most websites position it: it's normally described as "set up a passkey for this device" and in practice the vast majority of people using them will be

Ideally, don't use passwords: Passkeys where supported, SSH Keys, client certificates, social login via a service that does support one of these methods. Magic link emails can also work, but are potentially vulnerable if you copy/

And even with IPv4, botnets are a common attack source, so hitting from many endpoints isn't that hard. I'd say "well, it might catch the lowest effort attacks", but when SSH keys exist and solve many more problems in
