The author suspects that this effect is due to users accepting these "make it work" fixes. But wouldn't training for coding challenges also explain this? Because those are designed to be solvable, anything that lets you move

You've set up a straw man here - nobody in this thread is claiming that it's not detrimental to be missing a sense. The point is that disability exists within the context of the world we live in, and the society we've built i

Sure, and the buildings are built to a slowly-evolving code, using standard construction techniques, operating as a predictable building in a larger ecosystem. The problem with "all software" being AI-generated is that, to use you

That sounds like an insane way to do anything that matters. Sure, create a one-off app to post things to your Facebook page. But a one-off app for the OS it's running on? Freshly generating the code for your bank transaction rules? Gen

See, that's just using the same measuring rod. If you measure quality of life by income, yes, even poor Americans live good lives compared to the rest of the world. There are many other factors you could evaluate it on, though, and man

It depends on how you measure quality of life.

As far as I can tell, it's Amiibo, but Lego. The 'smart brick' has a couple sensors, speakers, and lights, including an NFC-ish reader. The minifigs and 'smart cards' are your amiibos that tell the brick what to do.

The battle pass contains loot boxes though, right?

More seriously - open source software is resistant to enshittification. It's obviously not a panacea, but the possibility of forks (or just the user deciding not to update), combined with the difference in profit motive, tends to resul

I share your distaste for arbitrarily renaming concepts. However, I think if you only have one of the two in the language, Optional is the clearer name. A result is already the informal name of the outcome or return value of every regular o

Surely the revenue from a patreon subscriber is also more than 100x that of a viewer, right?

I think you might have missed that they threw an exception right under the comment.

Not in any meaningful way, no.

Not really applicable to ML. The massive amount of compute running on the GPU is not executing in Python, and is basically the same regardless of host language.

I imagine by this they meant `python -m venv` specifically, using that interface directly, rather than through another wrapper CLI tool.

And if you're writing machine code directly, you're still relying on about ten layers of abstraction that the wizards at the chip design firms have built for you.

"MongoBleed Explained by an LLM"

Or the common case of redacting a name, address, or other sensitive text in a screenshot of a web page, word doc or PDF. In those, getting the font is very straightforward. You also don't need to match the whole redacted text at once -

Do you think that the LLM helped deliver a thoughtful letter to Rob Pike?

AI is also unnecessary.

The concept of the individual carbon footprint was invented precisely for the reason you deploy it - to deflect blame from the corporations that are directly causing climate change, to the individual. You are indeed a useful tool.

When I was about 10, I read the Hobbit to my younger brother (8), over a large number of half-hour car trips. It's one my prouder memories of that time.

Or, if there is indeed an ongoing investigation on those two, it could be leaking that fact, right?

When even Disney can't be bothered to write an article without using the default LLM voice... ugh.

The GitHub repo is about two weeks old and there's a single author - if I were you, I'd let it cook for a while longer.
