“We’ve got ‘em now!”. This’ll be police brutality’s great undoing.

You’re right. Tech companies will surprise us all and suddenly start obeying the DMCA to the letter instead of just taking the shortcut of “rights holders upload content, it’s fingerprinted, user content that matches fingerprint is taken d

the register has a red masthead for a very good and intentional reason. i think that people, especially americans, are into a bit of the british snark, but the site is by and large taken way more seriously than it deserves to be.

Your comment is entirely emotionally driven. “These politicians! These bureaucrats!”. Let me guess, it just happens that the role that you work in is amongst the only that actually provide value, and everything else is just waste. Developer

It’s amazing how many people on this website harp on about nobody noticing their hard work, nobody caring unless the server is down, etc, and not being able to conceive of the remote chance of this same phenomenon applying to other roles in

If you were legitimately suddenly saddled with the responsibilities of a typical ‘CEO’, chances are you’d shit your britches within a month. Part of a CEO’s job is to be the target of all warranted and unwarranted blame for every single bad

Their job is to create an environment where people with a view as narrow and naive as yours can actually do something wholly productive.

Please. Such a charged response wasn’t justified at all. Different people are curious about different things. You ask “who fucking cares?”. The answer? You don’t, and the person you’re replying to does.

Yep. I’ve had to tell Claude to basically not use assert. Thankfully it’s very complaint in this one area.

Ditto. I’ve certainly never used it and can’t recall seeing it in any codebases I’ve worked on or looked at. Sounds interesting though! I’ve of course certainly heard of, seen, and used `assert`, but more often than not, outside of pytest,

You don’t like working with data scientists. The data science Python ecosystem is really a separate beast that’ll have “normal” coders scratching their heads at the best of times, some of the most popular packages do all sorts of metaprogra

Holy 2000s! Are we really still doing “programming” vs “scripting”?

I’ve spent about five weeks in the US split across two trips. At home, I eat out very very regularly, at both very nice and very shabby places, and varied places. I pretty much immediately came to your conclusion… within hours of each visit

If anyone said this about the country that you’re from (based on this attitude, we all know what my guess is) you’d immediately clock how absurd it sounds.

Nobody was confused or misled by what was written. We all understand what is meant. I can’t even call this pedantry—it’s just you asking everyone to subscribe to your particular desired style of talking about this stuff.

People write like they talk for effect. This is very, very common in the real world.

Hacker News is so utterly detached from reality at times, and comments like these really drive that home.

This isn’t “AI psychosis”. Stop this. Stop corrupting the definition of “psychosis” by pretending that “AI psychosis” can just be used as a descriptor for anyone that thinks that an LLM can do a thing that you don’t think it can. Any use of

Yeah, and i’m going to take a stab in the dark and guess that it’s the first one much more often than anyone here would like to admit. Developers love to act like they understand every other profession and skillset, just by intuition. It’s

You don’t know that unless you’ve compared performance.

by UqWBcuFx6NV4r 1mo ago
I don’t see how that makes much sense at all. Even before reasoning processes were hidden (unless you really sought them), I’ve never once seen a model refer to its own specific comparative superiority or inferiority, except for when I expl

> Humans reading texts historically come with little negative consequences, but machines reading and processing texts en masse is more dangerous and should be regulated. Citation needed. This is sounding tautological.

Holy reading comprehension and assumption creep! Nobody said that it was OK. But losing data and losing access to the data is clearly not the same thing. That’s why this clickbait headline decided to say the former instead of the latter, b

Yes there would. It makes perfect sense to refresh one’s understanding. You’re within your right to be grumpy about doing training, but that’s not the same thing as there not being legitimate intent behind it, let alone it actually being a

That is completely impractical for most people.

Sorry, you’re just uncultured if you don’t understand that understandings of different “foreign” cultures differ from place to place. I don’t even agree that the use of the term “beef patty” should be regulated just so you don’t confuse a
