I still cannot understand how it came about that everyone adopted systemd, despite it being a showcase of the most selfish, reckless and irresponsible maintainership ever. And it's not like it's something new, it's been like

FWIW, it says the same when I asked deepseek that question. And while I cannot prove otherwise (I didn't try to specifically do that), I am under very strong impression that past chats influence the future ones. This could be some ki

Genuinely curious: is it even still relevant today? I've got the impression that there were a lot of these elaborate techniques and algorithms before around 2016, some of which I even learned, which subsequently were basically just rep

Exactly. This is even more annoying when it isn't exactly a hash, but some gibberish you cannot really make sense of, which does have a numeric section in them: like a user ID, or unix time, or who knows what else it could be, but yo

I think "disastrous" is a bit too strong of a word, but I don't see any "real" reasons mentioned here why it won't be. Sure, there are "cheap" phones that are (almost always) Android, it's also p

But wouldn't you run whatever you are writing in Docker container on dev anyway? I always did just that, as long as I use Docker as a deployment tool for a project at all. And, in fact, even sometimes when I didn't, since it'

Exactly. I wanted to also point this out in the relation of the author's desire to put all build commands in `just` configuration file. It sounds to me like a desire to use some another "slick and shiny tool" (which `just` is

Recently I somehow wasn't using LLMs locally and relied mostly on ChatGPT for casual tasks. I think it was a little less than a year since I played with ollama, and I remember that my impression was that all recent popular models defin

A model changing its opinion on the first request may sound more flattering to you, but is much less trustworthy for anybody sane. With a more stubborn model I at I have to worry less that I give off what I think about a subject via subtle

Can somebody explain what's going on here? It seems I'm missing some important piece of background info. Why don't they just add -J flag for everyone who wants to output JSON? Oh, wait, tree already has -J flag to output JSON

I haven't used Gemini Pro, but what you've pasted here is the most honest and sensible self-evaluation I've seen from an LLM. Looks great.

It would be great if it was impractical, but I still think it has to be made illegal. I think it is not only "bad" because it's bad for Valve of whoever wants to sell or buy these games, this is "bad" on its own,

I wonder how this type of pressuring can be made illegal. To be clear: I certainly think this has to be made illegal, and even attempt to coerce a payment network to force a business to do something should be a serious crime. If the product

Oh great. Now I suddenly feel the urge to acquire a physical oddly shaped lens or mirror.

Instagram doesn't actually work, right? All frontends are down, and it doesn't seem to work locally either.

How big is English in "English grammar checker"? Is it plausible to add other languages to it, or the underlying framework is so English-specific that it doesn't make sense to even bother building something else than English

Somehow the existing answers don't satisfy me, so here's my attempt. The essence of it is really simple. The axiom is an obviously true statement: if you have a bag of beans, you can somehow take one bean out of it, without spec

That's what I usually think too. Even if just to be cautious: people alluding to "Hanlon's razor" (as if it's a real thing) are basically declaring themselves the smartest in the room, so by another well-known epony

It's also impossible to turn off in my experience. I have like 5 lines in my ChatGPT profile to tell it to fucking cut off any attempts to validate what I'm saying and all other patronizing behavior. It doesn't give a fuck, s

It's not like I didn't call Musk crazy before, but I think now he is truly, really nuts. Like, clinically insane. This isn't about the Dragon, of course, but about the whole thing. Very curious to see how it ends and if he is

In all fairness, the essence of it doesn't have to do anything with copyright. "Pro-copyright" is old news. Everyone knows these companies shit on copyright, but so do users, and the only reason why users sometimes support

Never heard of Fakespot, but Pocket is a loss. I don't use it as much anymore, but it was a very convenient way to keep my reading queue. I mean, honestly, it didn't really solve the problem for me completely, because I saved way

Maybe when this was invented, the bundle of straw was the best they could do, I don't know, but surely today you can produce a more visible, more robust, reusable and, ironically, cheaper sign than that.
