It's much easier to talk about how something is deficient/untested than to do the testing yourself. The same site that complains so much about replication crises in science too...

It's not a cost for me to scrape LLM. It is a cost for me for LLM to scrape me. Why should I care about costs that have when they don't care about the costs I have?

Memory safety doesn't mean it's safe. And C++ doesn't mean it's unsafe. Browsers are in C++, do you not use them? Curl is in C, do you not use it? Kernel is C...

I think android is a big difference here. What about excel or Google sheets? Word? If you're building win32 you're not targeting android.

When would you want that when it wouldn't be covered by more domain-specific use cases?

Oh good. So you'll still be dead, and they might get a reprimand. If you're lucky they'll lose their job.

You want to know why so many people either jump straight to comments or use alternate sources (archive, llms)? Because if you load the actual site, it freaking blows to use the damn thing . So much hostile user design. Edit: NPR gets a lit

If it's a completely binary choice of "election was valid" and "election was invalid" without any partial verifications of results, I think it's still a massive step back. By which I mean: paper ballots have pr

Having reviewed a lot of Ai-written python code, I think it's absolute nonsense. It never picks a style, it'll alternate between exceptions and then return codes. It'll massively overcomplicate things. It'll reference th

It's a reputation economy. Like review sites. They start off truthful, and then as time goes on incentives shift to bad actors to subvert it. Or they just sell out their reputation. Yelp, TripAdvisor, wire cutter, hell even Google resu

There's a consistent Microsoft design?

Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.

It was a happy guillotine. The French are also off the hook because they were so damn happy to be guillotining people.

I see this response as the exact same one about tax cheating and how the rich will just move away or be better at cheating taxes. Did we forget how to discover and punish bad actors? Do you think we should just do nothing and let casual bad

To me, the "patching" that is happening anytime some finds an absolutely glaring hole in how AIs work is so intellectually dishonest. It's the digital equivalent of house flippers slapping millennial gray paint on structural

In some German dialects, "potato" is translated as "earth apple". So yeah, I am comparing apples and potatoes. We are living under a fascist regime.

It's why Hugo Boss is only a footnote in history for being a huge part of the Nazi regime right? Right? Nope. Other way around. Their Nazi support is a footnote in their Wikipedia page.

Why do you immediately jump to saying DEI? You say DEI then describe brown nosing. That's a thing that happens in any org.

If you can produce something that works 80% of the time for 5% of the cost? People take that all the time when they buy cheap shit off Temu or Amazon. They almost completely just give money back if it fails/sucks, and they are still co

I don't understand why we don't have a law that specifies an operating-system level input that will always close an ad. No hunting for tiny X's. No shifting DOM to dodge clicks. Hit Esc and it stops. For iOS and Android for

That's only because of LLMs consuming pre-existing discussions on SO. They aren't creating novel solutions.
