That's...what background processes do? They're supposed to run occasionally and be resilient to disruption. But if you wanna be afraid of boring ordinary things, you go right ahead.

It schedules low-priority background processes. https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/23/scheduled-activities-1-s...

Most of them are, yeah. There are a lot of Idea Guys on here, who are in love with the idea that they no longer need effort or skills to Create Their Vision. If they can just prompt hard enough, success will come rolling in.

Not true. Border agents were always tinpot dictators, but they're awful these days. I personally know white collar professionals who were turned back at the border for having a B1 visa instead of a TN visa for temporary work, while ano

Python ultimately won because of its community. The Python leadership group is friendly towards beginners and people with non-traditional backgrounds, and they actively reach out and recruit those folks to participate. It's also one of

I was curious and searched to find more context and ... uh, no offense but what on earth have you been doing that you've been tangling with the law over CSAM for at least four years?

Mm. I'm glad for you that you can just think about your problems harder and get better, but that's not the reality of it for most people with depression. Meds don't magically make you happy and they don't magically get y

That's not learning, that's building. It's like trying to learn how to draw via paint by numbers. Do you end up with something you could hang on the wall? Sure. Could you have fun doing it? Sure. Is there anything wrong with

No, absolutely the opposite. LLMs are terrible at things that require judgment and justifications, because they don't reason. They come up with something that sounds plausible. That's not good enough when you're dealing w

It's very funny that I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. "Just tell it to do better."

by habinero 10mo ago
Yeah, this is where I start side-eying people who love vibe coding. Writing lots of tests and documentation and fixing someone else's (read: the LLM's) bad code? That's literally the worst parts of the job.

by habinero 10mo ago
Languages evolve, my dude. It's common everywhere.

by habinero 10mo ago
I mean, that's the joke. "vibe coding" only sounds cool if you don't know how to code but horrific if you do.

You don't need to be a government actor, even. You just need to understand what a graph is and be willing to patiently walk through the txns. It's not even that difficult. I have investigator friends who regularly do it as part of

If you took all the crypto txns and grouped them by purchase, I would be willing to bet mortgage money that approximately nobody uses crypto to buy "subversive literature", out to many many decimal places of precision.

It isn't clear because they do none of that lol. They don't think. It can kinda sorta look like thinking if you don't have a critical eye, but it really doesn't take much to break the illusion. I really don't get th

Yup. I did this in 2020 and came away pleased at how well the system was designed.

by habinero 11mo ago
No, the argument is crypto is primarily used for crimes. Which is true. Also, if you want privacy, don't use crypto.

A person can study fashion extensively, under the best designers, they can understand tailoring and fit and have a phenomenal eye for color and texture. Their vivid descriptions of what the Emperor could be wearing doesn't make said

Yeah. I have a half-cynical/half-serious pet theory that a decent fraction of humanity has a broken theory of mind and thinks everyone has the same thought patterns they do. If it talks like me, it thinks like me. Whenever the comment

That's because you haven't done that work and don't value it. Women in agrarian societies do difficult manual labor like hauling water, milking, preserving food, tending livestock, laundry. Laundry before machines was backbre

Those have the same diagnosis power as "what Hogwarts school are you in" quizzes. Real assessments are different. Also, ADHD/ASD folks tend to overestimate how universal their experiences and preferences are.

by habinero 11mo ago
There are lots of them on both.

We definitely do run in packs. All of my really good friends have ended up being diagnosed with (or strongly suspected of having) ADHD or autism.

by habinero 11mo ago
Yeah, exactly. Having an ADHD diagnosis has been incredibly helpful, because now I can make much more accurate predictions on what is likely to be difficult and figure out strategies. It can really be the difference between struggling with

Maybe if you were less angry at people trying their best to live a life that's happier and easier, things might be easier for you.

Hahahahaha, I wish, but no. That's not how it works. I take Adderall and literally fall asleep because it lets my brain shut down. It _decreases_ my anxiety. I don't get high or hyper off of it, it literally just lets me function

I love these kinds of sites, since they're indistinguishable from honeypots. Sure, have my license plate and the information that I'm worried about being watched.
