    The problem is primarily social. When code is cheap and entry barriers don't exist, how do you filter what is valuable? For private projects, being able to code things quickly is a…

    Having basic defensive programming, some simple classes instead of dicts everywhere and avoiding n+1 is a "different world"?

    You misunderstand. And that is exactly the problem. We did do that and that's why our queries ended up being several lines long. But if you missed just one model? You openly walk a…

    I seriously don't get why Django ORM is using the Active Record pattern. This is such a stupid footgun that trivially causes horrible performance and BEGS you to cause n+1 problems…

    I'm referring to the formal usage of the term "distillation", instead of the informal one that refers to training it on any data as a whole. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/nlp/what-…

    You mean the asian models which just distilled American ones? I'm happy Mistral is doing their own ground up research. SOTA frontier models are a commodity with little room for sec…

    I don't understand this obsession with clear cut categorization. Systems always have a human component and while we like to collectively deny this fact from a tech-sphere, there ar…

    I don't get it. I thought the advantage is that you have a client as a library with integrated auth & other tech stuff handled so you can just focus on using the API? Because other…

    This sounds like a more elaborate version of Whataboutism.

    I'd like to think that it's twice as good as a one-party system.

    Indeed. The true irony behind the Dunning Kruger Effect is that the pop culture understanding of it is essentially describing itself. Showing overconfidence in areas that you have …

    I think it keeps going back to "preserving type invariants". Turning an object into a value can have surprising constraints on the integrity of the type. These include: forced empt…

    I left Swift and SwiftUi behind be 5 years ago when I switched jobs. I had fond memories and always eyed going back. What were the emerging problems that you talk about? I am actua…

    Right? It strikes me that the vast majority of people complaining genuinely don't understand the difference between law and code, content and art or can think of anything beyond wh…

    This being downvoted speaks saddens my heart... and proves the exact intent of the message.

    Thanks, now I don't need to even read the article!

    You are not wrong, but here's the catch: "Even I - with all my years of experience and knowledge - fell into the trap of hallucinations. I summarised reports using AI tools and wor…

    I'd argue that if a satire or parody is strong enough having a small watermark will not detract from its statement.

    You completely disregard practical implications. Can you manually create images that were done via AI? Of course you can. Can you create AI fake content and misinformation as easil…

    If anything this an argument _for_ clearly labelling manipulated photos and AI generated depiction of supposedly real life events.

    You will have to tell me how "labelling machine additions" is applicable at all as an example here. Unless your argument boils down to "computer doing things does not require label…

    So what are journalistic texts if not docs? At this point, an LLM is just another evolution from the typewriter. You are still responsible for your work. What is important are the …

    More authentic because of what, a missing watermark? It still has 2 positive outcomes: 1: It gives legal leverage against vectors of misinformation. Misinformation is tricky to com…
