/shrug It's more local than github is. Whether it's a server running in your basement, or the filesystem served by the next rack over in your on-prem datacenter, it doesn't seem unreasonable to refer to it as 'local

"local" can also be a network fileshare. It could also be in a directory that is treated differently than your other checkouts - whether that's something like deployment, sharing over the web, running CI, etc.

Well, there's degrees of understanding, as well as degrees of seriousness of the project. You can also learn a lot by building something. Some people are writing the Netflix homepage (where an outage costs millions of dollars), and som

It's not a hard-brick. Reinstalling Windows fixes it.

I haven't encountered one as a driver either, but I'm pretty sure "Don't drive into roads with water on them" was a basic safety question on the permit test.

A flooded road is a very predictable event, though.

Just as a heads-up for non-magic players, each of those 40-card decks contains several multiple-thousand dollar cards. I wouldn't be surprised if those 240 cards cost over $50,000.

"Translation tools" is AI, so it's correct that our AI-sensors went off. Edit: Also, speaking as a trans person, the analogue would be looking at a trans person and noticing that they are trans. Which is not a transvestigatio

Seconding ad-blocking. I have a low-end phone (4GB ram, and a mediatek processor from 2018), and setting up DNS-based ad-blocking made a lot of sites go from unusable to usable.

Thankfully, you don't need a perfect record to dismiss theories like "a wizard did it."

And how is the Bun team supposed to work on a million lines of slop rust code?

If it were me, I wouldn't be happy that it made up a meeting that I didn't mention.

It does seem like LLMs write better Python when told to use type annotations, especially when coupled with a linter.

Police, like the military, should be held to a higher standard, because we grant them a monopoly on violence.

I'm always missing out on interesting stuff. There's more great stuff being produced every day than can ever be read. It's just one more heuristic to apply.

And an LLM-written codebase is strongly correlated with a terrible codebase. So much so, that it's rarely worth your time to seriously evaluate it.

Because the freedom of association is a core principle of the American constitution. Curtailing that freedom should be a measure of last resort.

I appreciate when people tell me something is AI written, so I can avoid reading it.

That's because Mojo told you that. https://web.archive.org/web/20231221132631/https://docs.modu... > Our long-term goal is to make Mojo a superset of Python (that is, to make Mojo compatible with

Which part do you disagree with?

The threads that have the top comment saying "this is AI slop" are nearly always about an article that is obvious AI slop. Threads that aren't - like this one - don't.

Bitwarden also does this, with a big modal popup - and I only use my password manager in the middle of a flow. I'm either in the middle of signing up for some thing to accomplish a goal (like checking out on a website), or logging in t

Yeah, I tend to agree. What does improve quality-of-life substantially is having a proper effect system, especially when it comes to composing higher-order functions. Having to write copies of List.map and List.async_map in the stdlib is a

I also haven't had any USB-C ports fail, so +1 to your anecdata. Some laptops are picky about what port you use to charge them, unfortunately - I believe my laptop has only one that can charge it fast enough to keep up with full GPU us

In the uncommon event that something in your computer catches fire, the flame retardant keeps the fire from igniting the otherwise flammable plastic and potentially burning your house down.

Sure, but RLHF ended up emphasizing this to a level beyond normal human writing.

It's not really hard to read. If this were a traditionally evil company, the work to legalize the evil things would have started forty years ago.

I suspect that asking people to pick on a visual spectrum would lead to most people clicking closer to the midpoint.

Just a heads up, you are currently following the early stages of AI-induced psychosis. You can get any LLM to roleplay as anything with enough persistence - it doesn't mean that "really is" the thing you've made it say -
