it's an interesting talk, my take being: concurrency _is_ parallelism, but for I/O. People often think of parallelism for the case of making something go faster - eg placing two computations in parallel (the definition posed in th

Makes it way easier for nefarious persons to dupe others with lookalike sites mimicking, eg, google login. People should always check exactly where there's sending login credentials to, or risk account takeover.

I would have read more, but just a few seconds on that site made my eyes bleed. Good grief - both light-colored and low contrast. It's as if the author doesn't want to be read.

And the answer to the actual question posed by the article is simple: money. Big companies made huge bank by offloading risk onto people. Let's not pretend it was anything else.

Why would I want to log into some arb service to read an article? Bonkers.

Funny... Trump scores 996, but isn't shown on the leaderboard, which tops out at 993.

"If you look at any high-value target, you can track them down through their vices" yep, follow the yellow road of mcdonalds wrappers to find the worst president probably ever.

it's now or never - become McDonaldsLand or stay America. PS: please get rid of your president - the whole world, which didn't think much of you before, thinks even less of you now, because you elected a trouble-maker racist moron

pity it's like "who's line is it anyway?" - the points are meaningless and really don't matter First, we money is a delusion we all agree to share - it has no intrinsic value whatsoever Second, stock is an even more

Because there are always people trying to take advantage of others and I guess most people would prefer less of that in society.

Personally, I think it's been a boon. Yes, people are more lonely, but I'd counter with my experience over the last 5 years or so: people at work are simply NOT your friend. End of story. They never were, they never will be. You M

Mainly: true sandbox separation. I don't want the model having full access to my machine. With a dump format that Claude understands, I'm able to pass only the files I want Claude to see, and he can't break any of them. I don

I've yet to see any masterpieces. I've had a lot of good enough code come out, and some that was blatantly wrong. You still need to be an expert in the domain if you want to use ai codegen effectively. I've been using Claude

cool idea - i can't tell from the page if there's any choice of model (though the name and voices suggest gpt only); neat idea though. Perhaps this is the solution: devs should have a device like this, and pedal to power it. Solve

Ah, I see his philosophy of "steal from the poor to give to the rich" still strongly in play. What a useless muppet.

and I just upvoted a comment, refreshed, and it's still upvoted - perhaps check your network stack in your browser? Sounds like something isn't getting through and the UI is unaware.

and then, after 6 months with a huge codebase that doesn't work, don't forget to hire a real human to rewrite it - you, personally, don't have to write the code, but someone will have to turn that ball of mud into a product t

Recognising this has also made me recognise the real problem of using an LLM without expert knowledge in the domain - if you don't know when it's wrong, you won't know when to push back. So whilst I can be very critical of co

by davydm 5mo ago
I agree largely, but hold up a bit on the statement that getting an LLM to write the code means I never solved the problem. That may be true for a lot of vibe-coders - loops of "write this code" "no, not that", "fix

you could enable prompts on download - and set the filename yourself (or just rename after download). Ultimately, naming it yourself is the only way you're going to get names you're happy with. eg https://www.technobezz

And, for an encore - stop all the other stupid shit. The rest of the world (and the US) is paying the price for little trump-tantrums, like the one against Iran. He's not a good international leader. He's not even a reasonable at-

functionally the same - and more accurate to use the original title, as Cuba is the one doing the blaming. I don't know why you're standing up for this - it's more bad behavior from a country that sells itself as the savior,

This is why we can't have nice things - people that can't stop to ask if they should, once they've realised they could.

yes, this is a new bout, but the result is the same - SupportAssist simply should not have the capabilities to bluescreen your device /eof.
