If I remember right, it's called Socrates method of teaching, but in this case it's done in a malicious manner.

You learn to know who are the lazy ones, and at that point you can politely always respond with a, "what were you able to find on this?". You can repeat this ad infinitum since at that point, they're just being lazy and disre

My stomach churns when I see an e-mail obviously written by AI. It just comes off so disingenuous and disrespectful, as if they couldn't be bothered to respond to me themselves but instead had a machine do it. Even worse, it's usu

It's funny, when we were acquired they started moving us to Github actions but it seems that maybe we should stay on our old crusty self-hosted Jenkins setup...

Certainly you realize that these comments exist for more than a single person right? You expect potentially hundreds of viewers to each burn through AI tokens instead of just getting a direct and relevant answer here? This has the same vibe

That used to be the case, but I would argue that C#'s ecosystem is just as competitive now. For our backend tech stack at work, all of our libraries used are open source nugets. Back 15 years ago, paid nugets were definitely more stand

Which, for specifically Windows, it works perfectly fine. The only complaints I've heard is for a cross-platform UI framework.

What I don't get is why Java doesn't get dogged for desktop UI like C# does.

As a percentage of their income? Because that's the only number I care about. You don't get to hoard wealth off the backs of tens of thousands of workers and then act like paying a smaller percentage is some good deed being done.

The first step we need to take is to invest in the IRS. Every dollar invested in the IRS returns between $5-9. Couple that with fines that offset the cost of auditing, and "hidden wealth" becomes a liability too expensive for peop

Obviously there's an ideal middle ground, but what LLMs do is allow free transfer of knowledge while still (mostly) preserving the protections that copyright should be protecting. For example, I can have an LLM give me the entire plot

That's more an argument for why you can't just use LLMs as a source of truth. Conveniently, LLMs like ChatGPT do often cite their sources, especially if you prompt them to.

Building trust is the hard part, which is why you aggregate all that trust into an entity that everyone else is verifying as trustworthy.

Yeah this is the main argument I have for AWS. Is it the best tech-wise? Arguably not, but they have real support you can contact on a moment's notice, they'll even reach out ahead of time if they suspect something is seriously wr

This might work but only if the evaluations are done through a trusted third party entity where none of the money ever reaches the company you're submitting to.

Reminds me of the paper launches NVidia/Intel/AMD sometimes do where they announce some amazing tech (such as the old Titan GPUs) that placed their hardware at the top of the benchmarks, but with basically zero actual stock availa

I think CEOs are so drunk on the shareholder buzz for AI that they think this is also what the customer wants. I love integrating AI into products, but only in a way that is seamless. For example, I did my taxes recently and there was a but

Local models are much less energy efficient right?

To set an example, as a deterrent to larger operations. If they go after even the smallest impact counterfeiters, it leaves no room for a plausible level at which an operation can safely run under, no matter how small.

Same. I don't care about the online connectivity or whatever, I just print a few personal things every month so the convenience and reliability far outweigh any cons for me.

My favorite is when Claude will build a completely new application to load and inspect a .dll file using reflection instead of just googling the library's interfaces.

So the chimpanzees on the keyboard thing is real.

A similar concept is used in Rust, where code that needs unsafe sections is generally done in very isolated and very heavily scrutinized modules.

I disagree. Assuming code complexity is roughly fixed, more sophisticated code analysis will result in a smaller surface area for bugs. Bugs will still be found, but there will be less bugs to be found and less opportunities to exploit.

I disagree. I routinely hit the 5 hour limit on Pro with Opus 4.7 just trying to have it do one design task or comprehensive code review on a large PR, and the worst part is, the overhead and bringing all that context back into another 5 ho

You do realize what servers do in parallel right? Async/await allows ASP.NET to scale beyond 1 thread per request.

Claude absolutely improves code review quality, but it still misses a lot. It's a second pair of eyes, it doesn't replace/remove the work you have to put in to fully review the code yourself. It's like saying that you co

And how much slower is that? What happens when I run a thousand async tasks? I'll give you a hint, with async/await, it has barely any overhead.

Awaiting allows you to efficiently yield the thread to other tasks instead of blocking it. That's one of its biggest advantages.
