Tbh, while feeling sorry for the OP, I never felt sorry or compassionate to such jobs. They feel like a page of code, but it’s the same page of code every day. You learn it and then just do, over and over again. Expecting a career and retir

What a broad and strange question. What’s something you’re uncertain it will be around in 10 years? It always feels exponential until you realize it was blind Mooresque promises all along. Nothing will substantially change in 10 years, caus

07:13 but I guess I can AHK/xdotool it to just a few seconds as usual. The popup was a little annoying. Interestingly, while the half of that is bad UX, the other half is considered neutral/natural/wontfix or just good. E.g.

That was a hard read^W, uhm, skim. Feels like the good old internet at all facets of it. If only I had a whole evening and no more things to pay attention to, like back then. (No /s)

That was the goal, not an accident. The length of the standard itself is comparable to medium-sized serious project kloc count. They driven these numbers up to ensure that no one except them and their leashed pets could repeat it. And here

Sadly I can’t just go and develop systems in smalltalk eco, too different boots to wear. So there’s no reason to even go and learn about how it does that or a similar thing, cause I not gonna switch or implement it myself in my editor. I’m

I read your second paragraph as vagueness is fine, which sort of makes DRY not a helpful principle but a handwavy problem statement with no clear anything. As in most vague problems, two extreme solutions (join vs dup) are a wrong way to th

Same. It’s over, you won’t get performance or loyalty above some cold baseline, while still paying for the most expensive class of resources. What’s the point even? I can guess that maybe it’s a well-known cultural thing that only prevents

The book assumes that you should know better, that’s the problem. You may understand it correctly and do your best, but remain unsure if that “piece of information” is the same with that one or not, cause it’s open for interpretation.

I think that it’s our tooling sucks, not us. Cause we only have functions and duplicated code, but there’s no named-common-block idea, which one could insert, edit and 1) see how it differs from the original immediately next time 2) other d

This is where HTML/DOM differs from all other UI frameworks. Everything else has collections with custom datasets and scrolling windows. HTML does not, because it is winword derivative. From there it all went downhill and regular html

They do that because their wish is performance and naturalness. You may accidentally wish something you don’t yet know the true nature of, and this will create a fragile mess at the bottom. It usually does, cause algorithmic nature of thing

Another question is whether that initial unalignment comes from poor filtering of datasets, or is it emergent from regular, pre-filtered cultured texts. In other words, was an “unaligned” LLM taught bad things from bad people, or does it si

You can't write a metacircular interpreter in Javascript, because Javascript is not homoiconic. Is that a downside? I never wrote or used metacurcular interpreter in my life and still don’t know why I had to read about it. Is it an i

Btw, is it very hard to read and make sense of these texts for native speakers too? Even in my first language these stories sound unlike just a foreign speech, as if not only languages diverged with time, but the whole concept of speech (wr

Most of the commit messages in my personal projects say “Temp” and yet to see any issues with that. I have some repos where I maintain commit messages (by inertia) and it always bugs me as an utterly useless routine. In the rare case when I

You can 1/n but no one’s gonna read that. The “trouble” is not with the platform but with the reader selection it provides. The greater auditory doesn’t want to read you, because there’s too many you. That’s why it filters itself into

Wait, wait. You ought to write tests for javascript react html form validation boilerplate. Not that . /s aside, it’s what we all experience too. There’s a great divide between programming pre-around-2015 and thereafter. LLMs can only

I share this idea but from the different perspective. It doesn’t develop these mechanisms, but casts a high-dimensional-enough shadow of their effect on itself. This vaguely explains why the more deep Gell-Mann-wise you are the less sharp t

Afaiu “sampling” here, it is controlled with (not only?) topk and temp parameters in e.g. “text generation web ui”. You may find these in other frontends probably too. This ofc implies local models and that you have a decent cpu + min 64gb

As an external observer, it’s all sites working as -ist soapboxes to me. The fact that you call a politically superaffined site “a news site” alone, man. A news site doesn’t promote specific candidates by definition. Seems like some people

There’s no proposition in the root comment, and the opinion and judgment is valuable by itself, imo. Let them do what they do and let us say what we think. It all does something, right?

Oh I’m not wealth motivated at all . My regrets are about uselessness of that time itself. E.g. I could learn ML instead and do nothing useful with it, rather than not doing nothing useful with my perl knowledge today.

I’d rather have a compiler+ide-supported testing framework that doesn’t require a tested code to be prepared for being tested in any way. Almost all boring languages are fine at writing straightforward code without ceremony, even Java.
