The product of an individual's mind is not the same as the mathematical average of the products of everyone's minds. The latter is obviously going to lack any of the uniqueness of the former. Current models absolutely suck at wr

How so? Do you believe the average person will think twice when TikTok asks them to submit a picture of their ID? No, they'll do it without a second thought so they can go back to mindlessly scrolling through the slop. The ones who wi

I don't think I have ever seen anyone miss the point of free (as in freedom) software as hard as this before. I feel like this is a generational comment, similar to that one from 2007 about Dropbox. I'm going to save it in a safe

There's something deeply ironic about calling someone selfish for not wanting billion dollar corporations to suck up everything they've ever created and then sell it back to them.

On the contrary, I think social media bans are poised to accomplish exactly what they're intended to: provide a convenient justification for forced identity verification across all websites.

Forcing their own proprietary filename was clearly a business decision (it's free advertising, along with commit co-authorship). I wonder what made them go back on it.

It's not new. Maybe this page is new, but being able to set up a quick tunnel on trycloudflare.com without an account has been a thing for years.

That's just AI at work. It's much easier to ask Copilot to make some unnecessary UI change or add a new minor feature nobody needed, than it is to ask it to fix the fundamental stability and reliability issues that plague the soft

Indeed. Impoverished third world countries are known for having very low birthrates.

I keep hearing about how software development is a solved problem in the age of AI... and then reality hits, like we see here.

Except most vibe coders proudly admit that they don't even look at the code anymore. Can you really make those small decisions during the cooking process if you're not touching or even looking at the food at any point?

"That is almost to say that the only part of the meal that matters is the cooking. But the cooking is only a tiny part. I take joy in describing the food I want and bringing that vision to life."

Hundreds of hours doing what? If you're not reviewing the code, then what are you doing, just planning features? Because that would be trivial to copy in a fraction of the time by just feeding screenshots of your app to one's AI o

As of right now, they only expire credits if you don't use the account at all for a year. This is different from, say, OpenAI, where your credits expire unconditionally. That said, they do deserve the right to expire them regardless, s

There are none, this isn't a problem specific to OR as much as it is a problem with serving LLMs in general. If you use any other meta-provider that routes your requests to third party providers, you'll likely face the same issues

Update: I raised this issue on their platform issue tracker, and was informed that it is, in fact, intentional. Sigh... https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/3084

Trying to open any codeberg.org page from my main Helium browser results in a 403 just saying "Bye". Opening in Chrome or Firefox works fine. Very confusing.

Translating code from one language/framework to another is easy for AI to do, as it does not involve solving any novel problems. Making improvements to existing complex codebases is much harder.

I believe "classical" advertisements, as in those intended to convince the average person to purchase a tangible product, are on their way out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed an increasing percentage of

So let them? A product that focuses on chasing the competition is effectively useless, because the competition will always be ahead.

GN has sadly been trending towards overly long, rambly clickbait videos in recent years, in line with the rest of Youtube. Most of their videos could easily convey the same information with a third of the length. It's unfortunate, beca
