Yeah in the four years I’ve had my Prusa it’s had basically no problems. They’re a pain in the ass if you buy bottom of the barrel crap with sloppy tolerances for $100 I guess, but the same is true of regular printers.

The problem is, they could have literally done nothing instead. They could have apologized to their customers that they've been so busy with their baby that they haven't been able to get a new chalkboard out. They could have left

> this is referring to projects, don't think FrontPage is gonna cut it here You missed the fact that this is a comment thread under an article about personal websites. Personal websites =/= web app projects.

Please point out where I mentioned JavaScript at all. You don’t need it for anything qualifying as a personal website, I.e. not a web app.

Can’t you fucking people go five seconds without making everything about Claude code? I mean Jesus fucking Christ next thing I’ll hear is that Claude code is responsible for the weather. As if nobody made personal websites because html and

I’m not interested in being civil with people who actually believe using LLMs give you skills. The same way I’m not interested in being civil with homophobes and flat-earthers.

Then we can agree to disagree :)

Thanks, I’ll work on accommodating the reading-comprehension-impaired in the future.

Yknow, admitting you have no idea what you’re talking about and coming up with a solution that doesn’t actually work used to be free.

You wouldn't call someone who puts food in a microwave a chef, would you? And you wouldn't say that putting food in the microwave is the same thing as cooking a Michelin star meal. These are different things.

No, you can’t. Just because you can pull the lever on an LLM enough times and get something that works doesn’t mean you’ve done the work. Doing the work implies learning and transferable skills, none of which you get by prompting an LLM.

Not sure what you mean - capitalists famously hate paying for labor.

What about it is insecure with regards to exposing it to the internet?

Yeah, well, some of us aren’t uninterested, cynical losers only in it for the money.

This reads like a Dr. Breen speech. Jesus wept.

I haven't looked into the actual code fix, but given the "reset" name I have to think it has to do with SQLite "thinking" it has copied more pages than it actually did. i.e. The checkpoint starts, and a write hits a

This is also true, but we’ve seen the problems with that idea put on display pretty prominently, lately.

You realize the law can just make shit up, right? It’s very easy to make a law that says “ALPR data needs a warrant” without impacting the ability of people to record in public. You just need to clearly define ALPR, which isn’t hard.

I was just thinking yesterday that it might actually be worse than nuclear weapons. Both in terms of likelihood to destroy all of humanity and in terms of “how did nobody working on this see that this was an obviously horrifying idea”

It does, actually - people are alive and computers aren’t. In case you forgot.

> Argue with the content I am. It sounds like it was written by an LLM. That's synonymous with uninteresting and derivative. BTW, likening not wanting to read LLM output to racism is possibly one of the funniest things I've eve

You’re right. The content sucks, because it was created with an LLM.

Whatever, man. Enjoy whatever definition of bias you've constructed that always leaves you with a way to feel superior.

So nobody can report facts if it makes the subject of an article look bad (or good)? This idea of unbiased reporting that you have is ridiculous. This isn't a court of law, and not everything needs to rise to that standard. If you want

This is being needlessly pedantic. Disdain for the rights of other people does not start and end at literal written regulations. And yeah, on some level it's not strictly relevant to the exact legal question being discussed, but part o
