My experiences might mirror yours to some degree. I somehow managed to avoid the entire SPA scene. I feel so vindicated because I am absolutely zooming with my tried and true Vanilla JS these days. I have tried React, Vue, Angular, and ever

It does not matter if something is a felony if the state refuses to press charges. Take a look at the mass of pedophile politicians we have, the police that indulge and protect them, etc..

It'd be less of a hassle to buy a burner phone to travel with. It's not a felony to not bring your main phone when leaving the country.

To anyone worried, it doesn't matter how many felonies you get -- you can still be president one day.

I am constantly amazed by the people I interact with on this site. We live in a large universe, but a small world. So, how are you related to Mister Transistor? > did the idea to leverage the family name as a pseudo appeal-to-authority

If such a job paid even half as much, I would quit today. I can continue to program computers as a hobby. Occupational programming has essentially eroded my passion over the years. Money is not important to me insofar as I have enough to li

It's their code, not mine. If they don't want us writing tests, then so be it. I get paid either way.

You know, except for Luis Alvarez and William Shockley who were deemed too unintelligent to be included in Terman's study. Yet, both of them later went on to independently win Nobel Prizes.

My employer has 0% test coverage lol. I've begged and pleaded, but the claim is that "risk is low" and "that's what QA is for." Hell, I've complained to senior management about how there are senior devs th

I have never heard anyone ever utter the words, "Microsoft makes great products and services." They basically built an empire on brand recognition and vendor lock-in. Of course, a lot of their success was due to catching lightning

I always advocate for the "boomer" editors when possible. It doesn't matter which one you choose. People can say what they want about them, but very little software survives almost 60 years. I sure as Hell hope VS Code doesn&

Fascinating. Also, not that you implied this by any means, but I was not trying to say "you are wrong, I'm right." Rather, who knows? Do all behaviors happen for a reason? Idk.

I wish people were this serious about real threats like climate change.

How dangerous can LLMs be in any immediate sense? I have a hard time feeling any existential dread from a threat that can be defeated by unplugging its servers. I believe the true threat is not LLMs. The true threat to humanity is the same

I think the skepticism surrounding the Hugging Face attack is not about whether the attack actually happened, but whether it was truly accidental.

I wonder how much time zones and seasons impact things. For example, in my city in the winter, it is often dark for 14 straight hours. No average, healthy individual would sleep for that long on a nightly basis. So, even if one slept for 7

Assuming you are not jesting, I am not certain I would qualify that behavior as any indication of being wired for some sort of nighttime patrol duty based on those details alone.

I would also imagine a single block of sleep is relatively new due a host of various factors. Especially when considering untreatable medical conditions, chronic pain, parasites (bed bugs, lice, etc.), lack of comfortable bedding, cohabitat

I mean, I wouldn't know how portable they are between models because I don't use them. I don't use them because, well, I don't need them. I mainly use LLMs as a StackOverflow replacement via the Web chatbots. I only use

While ancedata does not mean much, I have had horrible success with Claude lately. I have been using Claude to crosscheck some of the outputs from GPT and vice versa. It appears both Claude and GPT believe GPT's solutions are better (a
