Err..I would take this with a BIG pinch of salt. It massively depends on the workplace culture. Perhaps I am lacking context on the “seniority” of this individual. Unless they are a Principal engineer, or operating as an architect/staf

My hypothesis: Linux kernel is a huge project - with a lot of people volunteering. You’d be burning through a crazy amount of input tokens to gain enough context to get any work done. I doubt many volunteers pay for their own top-tier subsc

Please don’t do this if your livelihood depends on it. You’re just going to make your life more painful. As a professional programmer, you’re selling a service. The people buying your service have fully bought into AIs and accepted their sh

They’ll try to claim a non religious workplace code, an extension of the current apolitical code. Leave your politics at home becomes leave your politics and religion at home.

Language models, amiright?! Text is the blood flowing through their veins. It’s all they care about. As they say, to a hammer, everything is a nail.

Mainly cause you never know what you’re getting. Over time, we trained our minds to believe that a well put site = effort, so at the very least people behind it cared. Now, it takes zero effort to make a site look good. So appearance in gen

How is that better? MIT is much more permissive.

Haven’t we moved on from these things? Most recent LLMs have been trained on enough long context tasks to have become pretty good at planning. Perhaps with contributions from the harness. In either case, I wouldn’t bother if I were using Co

Yeah companies need to quickly understand that having good actors try and hack you is a good thing - those hacks get reported and another door gets sealed shut for bad actors. This is more true today than ever before as the bar for a succ

There’s some specific terminology here, like the MAC address of the network device, which might have been virtual. UART is a hardware circuit for communication, possibly a serial port. Were you trying to reverse engineer a consumer device o

Goodness - triggers my ADHD. Power to those who find it useful, I would be so lost in the wrong details (the quota screen is pretty cool).

I don’t think it’s marketing alone. I do genuinely think safety was a priority when they were small. But I’d be a fool to ignore that greed has taken over and their inner competitiveness doesn’t let them fall behind a competitor. DeepSeek i

Seeing the Qwen3.8-27B model among giants is almost comical. It is unparalleled and a true testament to Alibaba’s talent and ingenuity. Can’t overstate how excited I am for newer edge models.

Drag handle = most likely literally a drag event (javascript) handler/callback. Dead, perhaps because it’s an empty function, or it gets overwritten, or for some other reason is never called? Most of what it said about the facts was in

I love KALLAX the most of all IKEA series. Sturdy as heck, can take a lot of weight, extremely versatile and durable. I've used it as a bookshelf, for putting boxes away, as a wardrobe organizer, you name it. Oh and the price is right.

Better heads prevail - this is a good start and the right decision. The agent/bot is controlled by some entity, ergo that entity is responsible for everything it does. I relate that to how a Physician's Assistant gets their author

Much of medicine (especially mental health related) is rather primitive. We are literally reverse engineering discoveries that seem to work on some other animals, and then figuring out how (to the best of our limited ability). I liken SSRIs

Nice! When I wanted a “dumb” smart watch many years ago, I went with a FitBit. I think it matched the features to what this Casio offers minus the HR monitor. Fast forward to now, I use a Garmin Instinct that hits the spot for me. I’ve grow
