I think it's controversial mostly because it is mixed in with morality, self-image, personal freedom etc. I think everyone has the right to be fat, if they have chosen to prioritise other aspects of life, but I think people should be i

I also believe people throw way too many exceptions. You should be able to be explicit about the outcome of an error case, and not just throw exceptions in a panic. So alongside swallowed exceptions is throwing exceptions in scenarios that

No you're right, capitalism would not do the same thing as a sports club because the sports club has the incentive to be fair. Though we give ourselves a pass in the name of capitalism, we could also prioritise fairness in our societie

It does definitely seem to be, and stands to reason, that better developers get better results out of Claude et al. You're on the right track in noticing you'll be missing valuable lessons, and this might rob you of better outcome

Sometimes it's a bit too eager to mess around inside the containers, like when I ask it to understand some code sometimes it won't stop trying to run it inside the container in a myriad of ways that won't work. It once did a

I was having a kernel panic on boot, I would work around it by loading the previous kernel. Turns out I had just ran out of space on my boot partition, but in my initial attemps to debug and fix I had gotten into a broken package state. I h

Roads take up an enormous amount of space, as does parking. We could capture significant real estate opportunities back from roads in cities that have multi-lane roads going through the CBD (mine has like a dozen criss crossing it). It woul

This is why you can run trams in pedestrian only areas and have very few impacts. Trained professional driving it, predictable speed and direction.

Sorry if I misunderstand but you don't think cars come off the road and impact pedestrians? Happens for a myriad of reasons, but it does happen.

Interestingly, removing this illusion of a safe "beam" or division is part of safer road design for mixed traffic areas like city streets. When you remove physical divides between "road" and a "footpath" driver

I appreciate the sentiment but the issue is still really clear. This guy getting so much money hasn't made anything more equal, it's just added another individual to an elite class of wealth. Had these salaries been distributed ac

That is proof of nothing, please be more grounded in your commentary.

They do bat an eyelid, many leagues even introduce salary caps in order to quell the negative side effects of insane salaries in sports.

You have exactly the same level of conviction toward an unknowable outcome, I think both of you would be better served by reading the middle ground instead of subscribing to a false dichotomy of boom or bust. I think the biggest confuser he

My two insights are: Legacy code is difficult to work with because the reasons "why" something has to be some way are missing. The "whys" can change over time, be interwoven with business requirements not in the codebase

To an extent, but the words you give an LLM are the entirety of what it has to go on, and again they are sycophantic. If you tell it you have depression, and you insist, it will do its best to agree. In the exact same conversation, you coul

There's certainly no shortage of issues with the mental health professional field, that much is true. I hope you are doing well regardless. I suspect we're going to see this story play out a lot, where the limitations of AI should

I don't think you should be getting mental health advice from LLMs, it has been shown that their sycophantic nature reinforces your own diagnoses not that of a professionals. Using an LLM in a field you're knowledgeable in would m

I am pretty interested in what the person letting it run 24/7 is achieving. Is it a continuously processing workload of some kind that pipes into the model? Maybe a 24/7 chat support with high throughput? Very curious.

The delayed focus capture is the most annoying part. I'll be in the middle of typing or scrolling with the keyboard when it steals focus. I type pretty fast, so sometimes I've punched in a bunch of text before realising it all van

The game Automation has quite an in depth engine builder/simulation aspect to it. It's very fun to mess around with, and the sound simulation uses some of the concepts AngeTheGreat has in his videos.

You are in luck, there is an amazing youtube series about someone who made an engine simulator so he could simulate engine sounds: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUahe1BHkKtVN4nPDmueo7huQ... The simulation of tires is i

I totally agree with your last paragraph except to add: there has actually been some great advances in interaction, but people vote with their playtime, and I think the reality is that the "median gamer" is totally content with WA

You're not alone, Cyberpunk's blend of near-future with realism whilst maintaining a clear art style that is not total realism is very immersive. I have spent countless hours wandering around Night City, not even playing the main

Totally anecdotal, but you see in Sim Racing versus Real Racing, the best sim racers are very regimented and analytical, and whilst it's mostly true of Real Racing, the confluence of death, consequence and mechanical failure lends some

The trouble is that it won't actually learn from its mistakes, and often in business the mistakes are very particular to your processes such that they will never be in the training data. So when the agent attempts to codify the busines

Would it be xenobiology, or xenotechnology? I would argue it's not alien anyhow, given it was created here on earth.
