I don't quite understand how they are gaining the access credentials required? Where I work, it takes days to onboard people, through standard processes. Whats happening in this case. Given the highly volatile, and legally gray, situat

I have fond memories of Pascal. As a 16 - 17 year old in the late 90's I developed a primitive drawing package in Turbo Pascal for a school project. The only reason I was able to achieve this was thanks to a unit (library) called VGrap

Haha, I love this. Strong opinions strongly held. Obviously you're not wrong, and I'm not arguing against this (mostly because I agree), but I do also think _some_ of the Marvel work can be quite....inspired (not sure thats too st

Yep, I agree with this to some extent, but I think the difference in the future is all that stress will be bypassed and people will reach for the AI from the start. Previously there was alot of stress/pressure which might or might not

Because maybe you want to, but you have a boss breathing down your neck and KPIs to meet and you haven't slept properly in days and just need a win, so you get the AI to put together some impressive looking graphs and stats that will l

I recently watched a new show called Prime Target. Watching it frustrated me as some aspects just didn't hold together, or were totally overstated. The wife would get frustrated with me in turn when I would point these out. "How d

This is terrifying. Even though they acknowledge the issues with hallucinations/errors, that is going to be completely overlooked by everyone using this, and then injecting the outputs into their own powerpoints. Management Consulting

Yeah, you're right, I was conflating the excusing bit. I haven't worked with serious ML engineers, but having worked in large webdev there's usually a team involved in these projects, including senior none devs who would ensu

I don't get the discussions around side project and they're ML engineers, not security experts. Why are you excusing a company for a serious security leak. If you're releasing a major project into the wild, expect serious att

Ha, I'm just reading this after tearing my hair out after trying to get a basic omniauth google login working in Rails. I was hitting CORS issues, for hours. I'm new to rails, but had read how productive it makes you. Well, thanks

Although the ability to censor is somewhat interesting and important to understand at a technical level, the amount of pearl clutching and fear mongering going around in traditional media about DeepSeek is extraordinary. Even so called inde

yes, this is what counter steering means to me too.

by hi_hi 2y ago
As a motorcyclist, counter-steering is a very pronounced and useful feature. I've tried employing the same technique on my bicycle and it had no effect. I'd be keen to understand others experiences of countersteering on a bicycle.

Balancing is the easy part. Progressing from stand still, to pedalling, while maintaining balance proved much harder (for my child). However, once mastered, the transition to confident rider was fast, I'm sure mostly thanks to having s

This is great timing. I recently purchased a micro:bit for learning with my young daughter (who loves it) and found I was very quickly out of my depth with even the most rudimentary customisation for the board. My draws have now exploded wi

I feel very dumb. There is an example on that page with 4 nodes (a,b,c,d) and it shows a total of 24 possible combinations. What is the generalised formula for calculating this, given the number of nodes but also edges need to be considered

I want to not like this comment, but I think you are right! There's a reason people like to say your watch has more compute power than the computers it took to put man on the moon.

I don't think the problem is the LLM. I think of LLMs like clay, or paint, or any other medium where you need people who know what they're doing to drive them. Also, I might humbly suggest you invest some time in the junior dev an

I'm finding the focus of UX/UI around the AI 2.0 very interesting. It seems to boil down to: - You go to where the AI is (which is what this is, and the other web/app interfaces) - The AI comes to you (Cursor is a good exampl

I tried an image of a F-117 stealth bomber from wikipedia. The output was a complete fail, to the point where I have no idea how they managed to generate the examples on their project page. The basic silhouette was completely inaccurate. I

I worked with a guy a few years ago, a React dev, who would do this in serious meetings. A bunch of us would find it pretty amusing. It was like that scene from Supertroopers. His Slack avatar was also Nyan Cat. >One hint some of the acc

Define "most people"? Clearly an absurd question in the context of this discussion. It's like saying "Most people on earth are not like you". How do you define that?

Thank you for the considered and insightful response. This is obviously a deeply person topic and each individual will have their own take on how they feel. I think the key point in all of this, which you and others highlighted, is weird vs

You just described a good friend of mine. He's one of the smartest and most capable people I know, but could never get out of his own way.

Weird doesn't exist. You are not weird. You are not normal. This may be different to your situation, but when i was younger I wanted people to like me, and if they didn't I'd blame myself for being weird. Now I'm older,

I went down this path very recently as a React newbie, for the exact reasons you stated. It looked like I'd be able to save a bunch of time, and I'm sure I did. But I also _spent_ a bunch of time as soon as I needed something slig
