This comment implies that you’d okay with your child being beaten if there are strong evidence against him?

When you impose gender ideology, gender roles on them from age 0, yeah you will get vastly different outcomes for boys and girls.

Violence creates more violence. Singapore has a lot of these sick backwater policies in place.

So what that you can loose sales even without crimes being committed? This somehow makes it okay to profit off someone’s work and ignore licenses?

Thank you, autocorrect sometimes misfires.

I was using Firefox, Vivaldi, Zen, and finally got fed up with various issues that Zen was having, so I switched to Waterfox. I am very happy and the browser is very fast; difference is immense.

Brave’s owner is a very sketchy dude. With all the news that were happening around brave, all the shitcoin stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if the browser is mining crypto. The single affiliated link scandal is enough to not touch that projec

The main point here is _using_ copyrighted materials to create a commercial product, that you then sell, that may be used as alternative or substitute for the original materials. You’re missing that point and talking about two independent p

Why are you talking about this case that case nothing to do with the topic at hand? The comment you’re replying to gives a very clear and narrow analogy, and you’re talking about something else.

by blks 5mo ago
When you use millions of copyrighted materials to bundle together to produce a commercial product, I wouldn’t call that a fair use. Especially when licensing of such material doesn’t explicitly allow that, the material wasn’t even purchased

In my workplace number of “agentic coders” users is 1. And among principle and seniors - 0.

Do you describe what to write to llm, line by line, in excruciating details? Sounds like a painful way to develop.

They are responsible because they made a decision to use “ai” tools and gave them all this access in the first place.

I would prefer a browser without any ai slop.

That sounds like their classic EEE

Coding by hand is not mere typing symbols into editor that LLMs are now replacing, it’s thinking, abstracting, deciding how to apply your knowledge and experience, searching for information. And of course in the current workplace where ther

I didn’t speak English my early teenage years, and that haven’t stopped me from reading books about programming in my native language. I remember spending hours in bookshops, excited to pick up next book to devour and try out.

Everything looks a nail for our hammer-shaped chat bot. I think you’re overly hyped if your actually believe this is going to be a reality in 5-10 years.

I don’t think the time sink is that significant with many tools, especially since you can take existing projects and change them. And it’s fun to hack!

It never felt fun for me to write software fully with LLMs. It feels disorientating, it produces a lot of code that you have no familiarity with and no authorship. It feels like you’re a teenager again, copy pasting code from internet or jo

Kind of shallow “makes you think huh” variety.

Also open source tools can be “hacked” to enable features you want.

This is nice, but is also leagues away from something you’re written yourself. Take LLMs out of equation, and you have piles of code that you barely recognise and barely can edit or tweak by yourself.

No they won’t. And what you describe about the farm is just whitewashing marketing

So LLMs produce PR for you, and you quickly merge them? Does anyone besides you having even a little look at them?
149.
by blks 6mo ago
This is essentially companies making their engineers use LLMs as much as possible, and if you don’t, you go on a pip. Many such cases.

Big loss, sorry to see him getting taken by the hype and stopping doing software engineering.
