This. LLMs are an autocomplete engine. They aren't curious. Take your curiosities and use your human voice to express them. The only reason you should be using an LLM on a forum like this is to do language translation. Nobody cares abo

Definitely going to hard disagree with Gabriele Svelto's take. I could point to the comments, however, let me bring up my own experiences across personal devices and organizational devices. In particular, note where he says this: &quot

Agreed...mostly. I've been using DDG for many years on and off (shoot, since they first became a thing), and for about 3 years full time. About 15% of my searches end with me adding !g to the end to perform a Google search. Google gets

OP did say PER MONTH. They implied $18,000 total. I'd start with doing a full chargeback for all months, and provide as much documentation. Additionally, I'd reach out to folks like Ars Technica, after ensuring such an issue was

Duke Nukem/BUILD was the first level editor that sucked me into level editing/mods, it is also the place where I spent the most hours. I later pivoted to more professional pursuits, however i killed a ton of time building new leve

There is definitely more to this. I’ve been on Facebook since it opened up to the public, and they know for a fact that I am a guy. I literally only use it to communicate with family. I logged in today on both desktop and iOS, and the only

Are we using 2 different versions of Facebook? I get nothing except content from my friends. None of it is AI generated. I just logged in because the article was a bit disturbing. The only AI content I found was the small amount a couple of

the hard part is the noise: Very few sites offer quality, original, important content. Nobody wants to pay for a site the repeats the same old stuff that every other site does, especially when those other sites don't have a paywall. Th

I know this won't help much, however, FreeTube can help with this. Yes, it is a standalone app, however... Also, if you a Google/Youtube employee, rubbing your hands together, making fun of folks, and generally thinking negative t

The keyboard actually does this all the time, and many assume they are the problem (making typos, etc.). A few have recorded videos to show what is actually happening and it's wild. If I had a link handy I'd share it. The user dir

Fun fact, if they are using foreign workers at all, however briefly, they are likely in violation of state law in multiple states. HOWEVER: It is entirely possible that some back room deals were made, and possibly laws put on the books in t

Someone above posted a link to wardgate, which hides api keys and can limit certain actions. Perhaps an extension of that would be some type of way to scope access with even more granularity. Realistically though, these agents are going to

Taste is subjective. I get it. There are Triple A games on Arcade. Things like Civilization 7, for example. I don't know what the current standalone price is because we use Apple One Family, however, it used to cost $5/mo. Apple o

Something like 70% of the comments I've seen on this thread show that either: 1) The user has never owned an Apple Device in their life. 2) They are trolling super hard. There are complaints to be had that I definitely agree with, howe

Most of my career, I've worked for startups and small/medium sized businesses, mostly using Ruby On Rails or Node based stuff for language/frameworks. In every single company I've worked for in the past 15-20 years in th

Standardizing on one single tiny little project is always a bad idea. Why? Some examples (which are admittedly not related to postgres, because I don't know their structure): 1) A single person, doing a ton of heavy lifting, leaves, or

Also: a large amount of folks seem to think Claude code is losing a ton of money. I have no idea where the final numbers land, however, if the $20,000 figure is accurate and based on some of the estimates I've seen, they could've

I mean, the internet is finding all her mistakes for her. She is actually doing alright with this. Crowdsource everything, fix the mistakes. lol.

Honestly, this is something that should've been kept private, until each and every single one of the files is out in the open. Sure, mistakes are being made, but if you blast them onto the internet, they WILL eventually get fixed. Cool

Umm, I restart my PC about once a week for security and driver updates. If you don't, you have a lot more to worry about beyond fingerprinting... Oh and I'm on LINUX (CachyOS) mind you.

This really makes me want to try something similar with content from my own website. I shut it down a while ago because the number of bots overtake traffic. The site had quite a bit of human traffic (enough to bring in a few hundred bucks a

Honestly? My advice would be to cook something custom up! You don't need to do all the text yourself. Maybe have AI spew out a bunch of text, or take obscure existing text and insert hidden phrases here or there. Shoot, I'd even g

I do feel like many folks here and elsewhere are missing the mark with LLMs. 1) Yes, they are absolutely useless in a consumer setting. 2) If you want to be a software developer, you absolutely need to know how to understand/interact w

Arcade machines were so weird (and amazing). Example: A TON of effort was put into copy protection, for example. There are still a few games that haven't completely been broken into, despite being 30-40 years old. The systems from the

I am kind of hoping that AI will kill the startup grab for money TBH. Too many wannabe CEOs I've met in the past 2 decades have gotten rich thanks to a lucky pitch without a clear path to a viable product. At least 6 of those I know di

I gotta say, the local models are catching up quick. Claude is definitely still ahead, but things are moving right along.

Not going to read the article, because Data centers in space = DOA is common sense to me, however, did the article really claim cooling wasn't an issue? Do they not understand the laws of thermodynamics, physics, etc? Sure, space is co
