I think they meant the opposite; physics throws things out as soon as there's a need for exceptions, and there are examples of that.

Your gripe is with the parent comment then for mentioning them in the first place, not me. I was just responding to their aside.

I was responding to a direct statement by the parent comment about non-competes. If you think they're irrelevant, you should complain to them, not me.

Agreed, this is totally solvable. You could even set up an email address for people to send pictures of their receipts to so they know who to investigate. Imagine if you could just screenshot a bill and send it to "junkfees@nyc.gov&quo

To me, the fraud is the issue. If the person actually has the knowledge to spec out the whole technique, then sure, they can ask for it. But if they just said "give me what you give Apple" or describes it in detail and the vendor

The crucial part of why non-competes are gross is that they're trying to enforce what you do after someone stopped receiving anything from the past employer . If someone is helping competitors when still working somewhere, or actively

A corollary to this I've experienced (and observed in many others) is that maintainers of good tools will very often have a much more negative perception of how users collectively view their tool than how they view it in reality. It ca

Yep, I think I agree with pretty much all of this. There are a lot of cases where clearer naming can avoid needing comments, but there are also some cases where the code itself won't be clear enough. My personal stance is that in a wor

I don't understand what anything you're saying has to do with what I said. My claim is that "groking the code" is not a binary, and you can balance between full vibe mode without ever reading it and requiring that you un

How did you know you're not stuck at a local optimum where the AI could iterate even faster if you enforced higher quality on what it produced? To make up some hypothetical numbers in order to illustrate with math: if you ship bugfixes

Sure, but the proportion of code that drives homicidal behavior is heavily weighted towards non-comments. You're a lot more likely to piss off whoever inherits your code with the code that actually does something being bad or a lack of

I noticed this made it harder two, but thinking more about it I started to wonder if that would make it possibly to just spam it for the lower length words and make it easy to brute force within the 30 second timer. After that I started onl

NVMe SSD prices had being gone down in price for a while, and the spikes are actually a lot more recent than you might think. From double checking my Amazon history, I bought my wife a 2 TB NVMe SSD for $160 back in November; it's now

I'd be interested in seeing this when you put it up! I've managed to get upwards of 300 tokens a second somewhat consistently on the desktop I already had gotten for gaming/personal project stuff several years ago (64 GB RAM,

Couldn't they just rate limit them? Are they literally using a new IP for every request?

Ah, I understand now. That said, I still think there's a pretty strong argument that this is a lot worse for Zig than a GC language, because they also give you safety for that overhead (and potentially ergonomics). When a language is t

I thought Zig was supposed to be a C replacement (as in, it doesn't actually provide full safety in the way that Rust or a GC language would)?

No one is claiming that the recent rulings have been consistent, just that they're making it pretty clear that they're happy to pretty much abolish any semblance of Independency for agencies (other than the Fed, which of course is

What would "training" even entail for that? As far as I can tell, using these tools directly is basically identical in terms of what you need to know. If you happen to have a bunch of custom configurations, maybe you need to inves
