Same happened to me with a hackberry I didn't know was wild. Some genius added landscaping to make it look like a choice. You got off easy, I think after all was said and done I paid about the same out of pocket, but also was displaced

As an LLM hater, I have to say, this is exactly the use case I want code generation for. If I need to figure out the problem as I develop, which is the case for new code, the model can kindly get out of my way. But if I have already written

Is this meant to be a gotcha question? Yes, unpaid overtime is fraud, and employers commit that kind of fraud probably just as regularly as employees doing the things up thread. none of it is good lol

it does? why? the term RAG as I understand it leaves the methodology for retrieval vague so that different techniques can be used depending on the, er, context.. which makes a lot more sense to me

I appreciate the vague negative takes on tools like this where it feels like there is so much hype it's impossible to have a different opinion. "It's bad" is perfectly substantiative in my opinion; this person tried it,

I don't know why Europe wants so badly to be reliant on the US. It's bad for them, it's bad for us. It's embarrassing for Europe that Ukraine is relying on the US instead of Europe for defense. It's embarrassing for

there are many problems with this attitude but even bicycles require industrial processes and trade to maintain. Mainly the tires but if anything breaks the metallurgy for the spokes wouldn't be available

this website is insufferable. instead of explaining yourself, you offer a pretentious reading list? those authors wrote a LOT and had many different topics. you couldn't even point to any specific writing? give me a fucking break. you

is that why he's talking up Dyson Spheres in interviews? the guy is a lunatic and conman, either completely insane or evil, no other option. here's the stupid quote: Sam Altman: I do guess that a lot of the world gets covered in d

Sam Altman and company have been promising full on AGI. THAT'S the price shock. Agents may be good (I haven't seen it yet, maybe it's a skill issue but I'm not spending hundreds of dollars to find out and my company seem

it doesn't even matter. I've run a small community at a loss, for "fun", for the better part of a decade and people just go elsewhere when the winds change and they find themselves no longer in an echo chamber they agree

several ironies here: 1) an AI agent is less likely to notice than even a junior is when the docs are out of date from the code 2) AI boosters are always talking about using language models to understand code, but apparently they need the c

if you have to understand the code, it's not vibe coding. Karpathy's whole tweet was about ignoring the code. if you have to understand the code to progress, it's regular fucking programming. I don't go gushy about code

it's just poorly named; it's an executive function disorder. The hyper focus you described is just as uncontrolled and pathological as lack of attention. I used to hyper focus on StumbleUpon. You think that's evidence I _don&

LLMs are frozen in time and do not have experiences so there's nothing to relate to. I'd pay extra for writing with some kind of "no AI used" certification, especially for art or information

Why are you giving Tate free advertising on a completely unrelated post? Just saying that asshole's name risks exposing more people to him. Streisand Effect, people. If you hate someone and want them to go away you have to completely s

It's a war, not a genocide. Gaza is under seige. Hamas should unconditionally surrender but they prefer to put their children in harm's way than to surrender. Tell me, if this is a genocide, what has happened to all the Jews in Jo
