This is a bizarre take to me. If food is on my tray in 60 seconds, I'm concerned what corners they are cutting to serve food this fast. It sounds terribly stressful for the employees. How can 5-10 minutes be considered slow? I think in

When has something like this ever happened? It feels like legislature exists to make money happy.

It does create an interesting choice, though. For example, certain apps will enforce attestation based on the bootloader status. Even if the user wipes their device and relocks their bootloader with their own keys, this doesn't count a

Do you feel that Npm, mix, cargo went the wrong way, doing too much? It seems like their respective communities _love_ the standard tooling and all that it does. Or is Python fundamentally different?

Thanks for ringing some bells. It's been a long time since I used that equation.

The Wikipedia page is incredibly abstract. Could someone please explain how a GOMS model justifies removing a dedicated "switch input" button from a television remote?

I don't know if you need something as expensive as an HDFury. I know most $30 "4K upscalers" have a HDCP stripper built in. edit: to further your point, though, I think most people's gaming monitors don't support HD

This is a good idea. You could take a set of problems, have the LLM solve it, then continuously rewrite the LLM's context window to introduce subtle bugs or coding errors in previous code submissions (use another LLM to be fully hands

There are cheats that give you more information than you should have. These typically require access to the game process's memory space. If you're cheating with a video capture card, this likely means you're allowing a progra

I would be interested to know how many people do formulate a whole sentence before saying it. "Think before you speak" as they say. I feel I do not have the cognitive window or processing speed to do this; instead, I formulate a c

I suppose you are making a point about hypocrisy. Yes, I use GenAI products. No, I do not agree with how they have been trained. There is nothing individuals can do about the moral crimes of huge companies. It's not like refusing to us

You're right, this approach is too easy to spot. Instead, pass all your blog posts through an LLM to automatically inject grammatically sound inaccuracies.

FWIW, a "Network Access" app permission is one of the features that GrapheneOS provides. It is only setting offered to the user every single app install. It should be in base AOSP, and I have to wonder why it isn't already.

Isn't this a recipe to complacency? Things that are worth achieving take hard work. If I only do things that I _really_ want to do right now, I'm not sure I will live a fulfilling life. Especially when many of us have been trained

It's not like you can't decorate all variable access with !! to retain this expressiveness. This is not done in practice because it would be a waste of verifiable type safety. You can always `lateinit val` in cases where the initi

Yep. More generally, I have a lot of distaste that big tech are the ones driving the privacy conversation. Why would you put the guys with such blatant ulterior motives behind the wheel? But, this seems to be the US way. Customer choice via

If you are just playing against bots, the challenge is arbitrary. What would top 10% actually mean? 5000 ELO? Albeit, the ranks are slightly arbitrary already as the matchmaking algorithm significantly influences your competitive experience

Is it? It seems to me to be paired with shareholders' interests, and nothing more.

I've been thinking a lot about this possibility. I think people will have to come up with family passwords eventually. A word or phrase that is regularly practised, but strictly private, for verification in times of crisis. For example

At least in my "Agile" experience, it is always time for release.

Who complained? The author seems happy with his prize, even with the fair acknowledgement that it is disproportional to the value of his efforts.

This problem is poorly defined; what would it mean to produce a response JUST based on the text given? Should it also forgo all logic skills and intuition gained in training because it is not in the text given? Where in the N dimensional se

Is this some coveted attempt to push tech salaries higher?

I wish this comment were true, because this would mean political parties actually use knowledge and information to encourage people to vote for them. In the democratic elections I am exposed to (UK, US), this could not be further from the t

What is your suggestion? It seems like you could discourage any form of preventative action against immoral behaviour this way. There is _always_ something worse than the problem at hand.

I'm finding it hard to buy that a precision of 28 decimal digits cannot be computed on today's browsers. Why could you not have used one of the bigfloat[1] JavaScript libraries that exists? Is there an operation the service requir

This reminds me of some of the early linting tools that emerged around the time ES5 / node.js was blowing up. I found the defaults to be insanely distracting, giving me warnings about unused variables etc as I was still typing the code

Introducing AI into education will be non trivial. This is difficulty is observable already in my experience. When offering advice on how to learn how to program, I have to heavily recommend that students try their best to avoid the use of

I wonder if this is relevant to tech workers. Does a second monitor - if not used as a productivity boost, but rather a neutral convenience - hinder your capability to focus on tasks? Should we turn it off to properly focus? I have suspecte

What other word would you suggest? I've seen "bullshitting" suggested, but this of course still implies intent, which AIs do not have in any typical sense of the word. I think we as a community have settled on hallucination a
