    That's part of it, but if you lived through months of news about where milk is unsafe and how to wash your vegetables and how much iodine to take. You'd maybe think differently too…

    Top comment doesn't say it's better. Just says it's a "workhorse". The article itself doesn't say "it's better", basically just says "in this one specific benchmark it beat Claude …

    If you did "web stuff" in the early 2000s (like 2005-2010). You'd probably know who he is. He did Ruby on Rails, a backend web framework. But that was also very Start-up and Americ…

    Well maybe we shouldn't then? Before LLMs some not just clueless but also malicious rando could've send a PR too. And the maintainers might've gotten burned out any and just said f…

    Disabling ssh alternate channels will make it uncomfortable enough for most people to be a deterrant. But if you require multiple ssh channels for different reasons that won't be a…

    He asked for a steel-man, you were the one to provide the straw-man.

    Whoa there, am I missing something, why so aggressive and immediately with the ad homs? I think by that logic dangerously-skip-permissions and openclaw should've never been a thing…

    Are you being sincere? This is one layer of irony too much for my brain to comprehend. The person you're replying to is making a joke about OpenAI shutting down Sora their video ge…

    Well it seems like whatever's on that page is blocked by the corporate proxy malware scanner I'm currently behind.

    Is that in addition to mainframes or for completely replacing them?

    When initially opening the page it had broken colors in light mode. For anyone else encountering it: switch to dark mode and then back to light mode to fix it.

    I think the dev that was responsible for the bootloader or some security chip having the option to be opened posted on twitter a while ago. Pretty sure he implied or mentioned that…

    Oh, thank for the correction. I must've muddled it up in my mind with the contact tracing integration that had during Covid.

    Shouldn't most comodity GPS receivers also be GLONASS compatible (I get that Galileo is more niche and might not be included). Does the Sensor Apple uses not use GLONASS in Russia?…

    I don't even care about that. My suggestion to him was earnest. I don't have a problem with LLMs. Just with how people use them. I just don't like "slop". I see the same user-inter…

    Was this done heavily LLM assisted? Especially the PDF Edit tools have user-interaction quirks and bugs that a human developer would catch immediately during the regular manual tes…

    I would not have guessed that iOS allows enough access to APIs to implement anything vpp-based. Very cool to see. I also enjoyed working with vpp (for the brief 6 months that I had…

    > Python is heavily OOP, everything is an object in python for example. I strongly disagree. How is everything being called an object in any way "heavily OOP"? OOP is not just "I o…

    Don't know if you need to compile, you might want to but I think interpreting might seem reasonable if size/complexity is a concern. Is the runtime really that large? I know with w…

    Could you try to address the obvious point being made instead of trying to obfuscate? There's plenty of bad outcomes besides death. Not all fentanyl users die. If some fent wholesa…

    Very appropriate as well because the machines are given a bunch of feed to digest multiple times and to spew it out the other end as a big steaming pile.

    You make it sound like there isn't a very wide range of solutions between "just write html files" and "use a complete website framework". There's a space in there where a large per…

    You can math that out pretty well. If your code has a breakage chance of 50% and your dependencies all have a breakage chance of 1% then with 70 dependecies you get to 50.5% breaka…

    I don't think you're arguing against anything that was said in that post. There was never an "at all cost". The author was hedging even in the headlines ("indiscriminately", "befor…
