You've gotta understand that most people outside of IT have very little to no computer literacy. They want something that just works, and Linux doesn't do that. I've completely replaced Windows with Bazzite since November and

Firstly, I think you missed that they are small business-owners and simply do not have the time to manage this. Even if I volunteered to do charity work for a local business, they would still need to spend the time to get onto the old devel

To add onto this, I used to frequent a cafe near my old work and had quite a good rapport with the owner. One day I was going for lunch and wanted to check their menu, pick something new and then go order. When I went and ordered it she sai

The problem is that many jobs with Java (that I've found) lean so heavily towards OOP that it's part of the job description. I just don't enjoy OOP and find that there's almost always a simpler approach, and to have it p

Maybe I should give Codex a go, because sometimes I just want to ask a question (Claude) and not have it scan my entire working directory and chew up 55k tokens.

To be fair, read-only commands can still read sensitive files and keys, and exfiltrate them via prompt injection.

I've largely avoided using the term "AI" to refer to the current LLM and generative technology because it's loaded with too much ambiguity and glosses over the problems with those technologies in the context of conversat

In the case of publications we luckily have such fantastic resources as mediabiasfactcheck[0] to keep their bias in check and to keep them factual. LLMs are much harder to fact-check because they can make anything up based on their training

Bad journalists are biased. Good journalists will present a story as factually as possible and as void of bias as possible (of course it's impossible to not have any biases). Opinion pieces can have as much bias as they like as long

Self-reported productivity does not equate to actual productivity. People have all sorts of biases that make such assessments fairly pointless. They only gauge how you feel about your productivity, which is not necessarily a bad thing, bu

LLMs can be injected with biases as well. Just look at Grok's responses any time it's tagged in anything mildly political.

As others have pointed out this is just US-centric, and doesn't work for most countries. The best option I can see is to have an autocomplete, and allow manual addresses with a country-specific form based on a country selection (or det

If it had been, maybe I wouldn't have had to spend years getting buy in for turning on that setting in my team's codebase.

The person you're replying to was making a clarification on the license, not arguing about the validity of changing the license or charging for it. Libresprite is an important project because people can fork it and learn from it by ext

I disagree. If my colleague can't be bothered to write a PR comment themselves then I can't be bothered to read it. If I can gain the same insights from interfacing an LLM directly then there's no point in this intermediary d

I think terminal workflows are intimidating for a lot of people, because the discoverability is lower than GUIs. You can't necessarily intuit how a CLI works, you have to read the documentation or watch a tutorial, which my 10 years in

I'm glad that a term for this exists. It's always seemed so silly to me that someone would think that a group of people would all conform to the same opinion.

What does that mean? By what metric do you measure "AGI", whatever that means? Industry definitions are incredibly vague, perhaps intentionally so, with no benchmarks to define how a model, harness, or other technology might achie

I believe it goes back a few years to originally being just oxlint, and then recently Void Zero was created to fund the project. One of the big obstacles I can imagine is that it needs extensive plugin support to support all the modern flav

We tried adoption of Claude Code at my last job as our PM was quite excited about its potential and I saw some horrors that were raised during code review (where I thankfully read the code): - Using private undocumented APIs subject to br

Any that you would recommend? I've found a couple of guides but they've all been quite light on details or a very basic implementation.

OAuth has always been quite hard to grasp, even though I use it every day. One day I'll write an implementation to properly understand how it works from the bottom up and go through each of the standards that have evolved over time.

OP briefly touches on it, but vibe coding is (typically) absent of struggle, besides the usual frustrations with code flat out not working or the LLM not understanding the nuance of human language. Whenever I build a solution that a PM has

I think for the time being, there's no way to get around writing native UIs to get a native experience. Any sufficiently high level APIs will have to give up something. TUIs for me fill that niche because across any POSIX-compatible in

Here's why I use them: many modern graphical applications are extremely wasteful. TUIs are typically small, low footprint applications that don't come bundled with a browser or webview. I don't need yet another electron app f

I don't know how it works where you live, but in many jurisdictions around the world (including the one I live in), you have to provide ID to prove that you're of drinking age.

render-markdown.nvim is very nice and works with GitHub Flavoured Markdown, even down to some of the newer features like INFO, IMPORTANT, etc. quotes.
