The actual author of the project, has been putting out COBOL passion projects since before LLMs gained popularity. Because they write COBOL. They've also written a couple dozen games in SQL over the years. Accusing them of inexpertise

It makes it easier to filter. Most LLM spam can be easily noticed. And those that aren't automatically filtered, can fairly easily be closed by the maintainer - when they don't have the weight to assess each on their validity.

The amount of effort that goes into keeping Termux barely functional, has a lot to do with Android and the platform making it harder and harder, to access a dev environment on a phone. Running `npm install` on Android isn't so easy. (C

Salesforce and SAP are not fast, even on that. But ubiquitous for building corporate platforms for their customers.

Okay. I described a manpage as the place you should go first, because it has most things in the one place. You have said that is unacceptable, because it doesn't show absolutely everything ever made. And listed places, which don't

Last week, Opus gave me a decrement instead of an increment, on one particular line. Where I already had the decrement, but it was changing the width of the datatype everywhere. And it took "convincing" that it had made a mistake.

But frustratingly, a JS BigInt is nothing like a BigInt in any other language. In JS - BigInt is 64bit integer. In anything else - BigInt is a arbitrarily large integer.

Have they ever stopped? CIA and SOCOM have been dangling themselves into Latin American lives since they were invented. Assassinating presidents, spewing propaganda, assisting in coups. It would be a surprise, it they weren't using AI

Counting letters in words is absolutely a real question. Its trivia! Half our TV is made up of trivia, and being able to generate trivia answer/question pairs is something both TV, and pubs, will try to do.

LLMs are directly marketed as not requiring understanding of how it works. The PR is "Its magic!" So people try to treat it like magic, and don't like when it detonates a fireball in a room that is too small. Not requiring te

Blue light changes the way you think. Makes it easier to focus on the thing emitting the light, than the rest of the room. Just having a screen, with perfectly locked down control, can distract.

The law does mandate that opting out should be as easy as opting in. The choices are meant to be equal. It is simply that no one is actually compliant.

No, it doesn't "cancel out", but courts (not law) absolutely do "both sides" issues. Rebukes for "winning" sides of a suit are relatively common. For example, here's a case in Australia where the defe

On the 11, the UNIBUS was 18 bit, the program space was 16 bit, and addressing was 22 bit. So it depended if you were using I-space or D-space.

Might more mean that we've standardised on a few things like what a byte even is. The PDP-11 had both 8 and 9-bit bytes. Thats a complexity that few programmers have to touch on, today.
