It think it's fair play to claim that someone doesn't have relevant experience when it seems very clear that they do not.

The way it compares is that we've had 30 years to learn from our mistakes (and apparently some of us have failed to).

Well, I suppose we might have found one of the discriminators in why some people love LLMs and some hate them...

I mean, you're one person (so it doesn't have to match) and you're not carefully measuring everything (so you don't have a basis for comparison).

"Look, I implemented diceware in pure CSS!" is unfortunately not that hard to imagine. I would bet someone is already working on it as we speak.

Real world case where I've observed these load characteristics: A cluster of three Redis nodes, one of which is primary and therefore has slightly (but persistently) worse latency. Pick-2 would send significantly less read traffic to t

All that matters is the last digit, so "th" is correct. In binary you would just have _th and _st.

I wonder how well these scan under less-than-ideal lighting and focus conditions. The standard QR code would be a lot more robust...

"Engineer" and "someone who can produce code" are not the same thing.

I found less-than-great results in a simulation where there's a slight persistent difference between two of the options: https://www.brainonfire.net/blog/2019/07/21/load-balancing-b... (as part of

But that's not how LLMs work. You can't actually segregate data and prompts.

It seems like it might be cool but between the background animation and the resource intensiveness I'm having trouble actually reading it. Is there a mostly-text version somewhere?

Disconcerting amount of AI-slop images on that page... not good for one of the first things I notice about a web page to be "why are the images so weird". (I'm also not keen to follow Max to another project... they fucked up

Both vendors probably copied that GUID from the same place.

Or something involving the word "fraud".

I feel like we need a different word from "counterfeit" here -- they're real Seagate drives, after all.

Into the sewage treatment plant, which produces almost-drinkable water. That's what we should be reclaiming with reverse-osmosis, but instead we dump it into the ocean. (The main problem with desalination is not so much that you'r

Got a source for that? Seems like BS, tbh.

If you make better furniture, it will last longer, and you don't need as much wood to serve the same number of people. It will cost more, sure, but that keeps people from just throwing it out; they sell it instead of throwing it out. T

Writing "they care" is soooo many more characters than "he cares"!

Sorry, as someone who uses a lot of em-dashes (and semicolons, and other slightly less common punctuation) I find the whole em-dash thing to be completely unserious.

Why stop? It's hilarious to watch AI floggers wriggle around trying to explain why AGI is just around the corner but their text-outputting machines can't read text.

Depending on the subject and the person, but agreed in the general case.

Eh, I can't tell C from C++, as I've never really programmed in either. But you knew what I meant anyhow.

Perhaps I misinterpreted your reply? It sounded like you were saying "read better" in response to the ChatGPT part, not the can-kicking part. ...but I do agree about the can-kicking. Why not 4, or 10? You'd have different pro

It's something of a satire, although presumably actually comes from a "conversation" with Gemini (because who would bother writing a bot's verbose and uninsightful responses like that?)
