Speaking for myself - they may not have cared to. I can absolutely prompt AI to following established patterns and produce nice, clean output in a legacy codebase. I also have a co…

I’d be interested in seeing a history of Mr. Langley’s movements for the past couple of years. Anyone know where I could obtain such a dataset?

> the tyranny is in the room and the 2A bootlickers all signed up to enforce it . That’s not at all my experience, and I’m in “2A” communities every day. A few months ago you’d hav…

With all due respect, have you taken a moment to see where these cameras are being destroyed by the public? It’s generally not in Democrat strongholds. There’s at least one case of…

Not in isolation, no - but this is effectively light industry we’re talking about, and at least some of the infrastructure necessary to support it is being paid for by tax dollars.…

I think you misunderstand - it’s not that you shouldn’t be capable of evaluating and improving the implementation, but that it’s usually irrelevant. A very large majority of the ti…

Voting statistics by sex show that it is a problem.

No one who believed it definitely was has changed their mind, they've just at most gotten quiet about it. No one who believed it definitely was not has changed their mind, they've …

I've not blogged since the rise of AI started in earnest, but I intend to do just that: the prompt I used in a collapsed callout at the top, and the actual post body below. Yes, I'…

Why is the left doing the opposite? There is no place for a young man who views masculinity through a traditional lens on the left.

I’ve not been “plugged in” enough to current-generation hardware for over a decade to know what all that meant. There’s a place for a “decoder” for this stuff, and that should tell…

While I think there is in fact a way to implement ads for monetization without destroying the product, I’m not going to stand here and defend the idea any more than I’d defend a se…

The article is about how removing those books - for the very stated reasons you outlines - could, according to the author, contribute to the rise of the right and the destruction o…

Somewhat meta: this is perhaps the most fertile ground for an online flamewar I've ever seen. It's got something for everyone. Any ideology I can think of could be applied both for…

I worked with two philosophy Ph.Ds in corporate strategy years ago. An a chemical engineer, and a nuclear engineer. We were all managing excel documents at the time.

There is a lot of middle ground between ">100k cameras tracking the movement of every vehicle in the country and retaining those data indefinitely" and "cameras in a private neighb…

> If your definition of terrorist is "person on the news involved in some FBI entrapment scheme", then yeah they're probably not that bright. That's a great example of selection bi…

I kept running into it when building an app that did ballistics calculation.

I'd suggest starting with a 2mm Kolibri, if you can find one.

> I cannot imagine a personal computing usage which can justify a 10k machine. If Apple released a machine that would let me run, say, DeepSeek V4 Pro or GLM 5.2 locally at 100 tok…

I disagree. The general intent is fine, and I'm certainly not abandoning everything we've learned as an industry - but LLMs are not people, people are not LLMs, and there's no reas…

I’m about two hours SE of you. Towns around me include Lead Hill and Zinc. There’s also a road known locally as “Chemical Ranch Road” - it was one of the testing grounds for Agent …

Maybe?

AI note-takers have been a huge benefit to me. I have ADHD, and for the first time in my life I have a fairly complete idea of exactly what I’m not able to get done :)

It's becoming clear that it's not permanent. Discontinuing exogenous testosterone will lead to restarting your own body's production - it just takes a bit, and isn't fun to deal wi…
