I actually like programming, and I find typing and having the model autocomplete my changes pretty useful. I’d rather do that than painstakingly put my request into prose, cross my fingers, and hope the “agent” doesn’t burn 100,000 tokens m

You’re forgetting { mode: 'no-cors' }, which makes the response opaque (no way to read the data) but completely bypasses the CORS preflight request and header checks.

The bill actually says “at costs that are fair to both parties,” not “at cost” as in losing money. You’re arguing over what ChatGPT imagined the bill said (and GP posted without verification), not what it actually said.

In some cases, yes. A non-native but passable speaker/reader of English might prefer to struggle through the English UI themselves than deal with your bad AI-generated translation. If they do it themselves, at least they can skip the p

> AI translates better than humans when provided with enough correct context This is definitionally untrue. Humans define human language; a "correct" translation is one that an experienced translator would write.

This won't be a surprise to anyone who's tried using a VLM on text. When it can't read a word (or an entire passage), it just outputs what it expects to see. That's far worse than a traditional OCR failure because it

Not that I know of. The features I'd want in order to consider a decompiler GUI "good" (e.g. a good text editing control, go-to-definition, find usages, manual renaming of obfuscated symbol names) quickly approach the scope o

Things may have changed, but my impression as of several years ago was that JD-GUI was far, far behind the state of the art (Fernflower, aka the built-in IntelliJ decompiler) in terms of correctness, re-sugaring, support for modern Java fea

NYC Subway trains have AC. They feel like refrigerators in the summer. Platforms get hot but can be avoided if you time carefully. London Tube trains largely do not have AC, so heat in the tunnels is a big problem.

Right. For the purposes of standard library functions that operate on array-like objects, { length: 1, 0: "item" } is an array.

Why does an MCP server need my OpenAI API key? Isn't that kind of backwards? And doesn't it defeat the point of MCP, which is that one AI provider (OpenAI, whatever) can connect to many MCP servers?

Most of their training data says that Biden is president, because it was created/scraped pre-2025. AI models have no concept of temporal context when training on a source. People use "who's the president?" as a cutoff ch

You linked to that announcement. I quoted the most substantive section explaining what the DSP is. Reading that description, it’s pretty clear that it has absolutely nothing to do with Glitch (or Pocket). Glitch isn’t a data broker.
