There are typically noise rules at most parks where I live. The people who "blast loud music" are breaking the rules, and annoying everyone else at the park. That's not cool, and they should get kicked out if they don't

You might blame the airlines, but passengers have become more rude and entitled year after year. It's really everywhere now, not just on airplanes. I personally am fine with removing passengers who think they are entitled to annoy the

Microsoft Windows will be just fine for a very long time. Corporate security systems and IT admin doesn't typically run on Linux well or at all, but it does run on Windows and MacOS. We're using popular auth software at my work, b

"AI" is just more evidence that we're headed straight towards the world of Idiocracy.

Nothing you described in this comment is only achievable with "AI". I've been able to search for and find open source projects since forever, and fork them and extend them, long before an LLM was a glimmer in Sam Altman'

I've started "racing" Claude when I have a somewhat simple task that I think it should be able to handle. I spend a few minutes writing out detailed instructions, which I already knew because I had to do initial discovery aro

You aren't holding it wrong, the truth is AI is a mixed bag, leaning towards a liability. If people really counted all the time they spend coddling the AI, trying again, then trying again and again and again to get a useful output, the

I just can't seem to square up that the same people that complained left-and-right about "code smells" are the same ones that are shitting out slop code and are proud they shipped 50k lines of code in a week. It's going

It's an old saying, I think Einstein is cited most often for it... something like this according to Google: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

Yes, I'd fire them, and then hire a more competent human. I'm pretty happy with the team I've built. They make solid decisions that I can trust every time. I can't say the same for the LLM.

If "the level of awareness that created a problem, cannot be used to fix the problem", then you're asking too much if you expect a human to reason about an LLM output when they are the ones that asked an LLM to do the thinkin

>The LLM presents a perverse incentive here - It is used for perceived efficiency gains, most of which would be consumed by the act of rewriting and redrafting. It might give efficiency gains for the writer, but the reader has to read th

Who said it was hard work? The satisfaction comes from actually doing a thing that improves your own skill , instead of having a thing done for you .

Trust me, the two are not the same, and are orders of magnitude different in terms of human satisfaction. When I walk down a street, I get 10 people stopping me to ask "Where did you get that?". When I tell them I made it, their h

This is the funniest (but seriously not funny at all) thing I've seen on the internet since the start of the whole "AI" craze. And it's all too true.

Claude always says it is sorry for screwing up when I point out that it screwed up.

If the "bug" shows up every time in the output given the same input, then it definitely is deterministic. Just because there are bugs does not mean a compiler is non-deterministic. I looked through a bunch of the bug reports and t

The biggest vendor I work with uses "AI" for all email communications. It's like they use it to sanitize and corporate-speakify their communications, and I really hate it. They can never communicate like a real human being in

One person's slop is another person's treasure, I guess. I've seen a lot of slop on Youtube, and I block the channels putting it out. It's pretty awful. They use AI narration that can't pronounce simple common phras

Only possible if we can keep the party that repeatedly destroys the economy when they get into power, out of office for a generation or two. That seems unlikely considering the overall stupidity of the electorate.

It could work depending on how it is set up. Maybe only accounts with n-number of years get 1 single vote, and maybe don't let any random 2-day old account get a vote.

Same here. The power-tripping of mods ruins reddit. Most don't care about the community as much as they care about exercising their absolute power over users.

Great, and you've taught him to never learn to code. That's not as great an achievment as you might think it is.
