    It's an interesting thought, but hard to imagine how this would be implemented system wide. The clipboard would need to remember the source application, and have some kind of uniqu…

    I see your point, but this isn't exactly true, it only takes a single person to bias a model by deleting specific training data or over training on certain facts.

    I'm not sure what the situation is here, but on many sites making alt account to avoid bans can result in a lifetime ban. A high profile figure who's been banned from a service adv…

    This is a general problem with destructors, you can't "batch delete" objects. To free a lot of stuff you're required to go pointer by pointer through the tree to clean up each obje…

    This is way too absolute a point. There's services like water and internet service you're effectively subscribed too that don't get worse. There's obvious efficiencies that can be …

    Not you particularly, I meant the original: "it feels like every share of income is at its lowest except for the ultra wealthy." It's ambiguous in several way, no time scale, "ultr…

    Data is the answer, it's just that so few people are willing to look at unbiased data. Although the start is asking a more measurable question.

    There's a whole category of video content called "First Amendment Audits" where people film with big cameras in public and farm people random, and often quite hostile, reactions.

    This is at odds with the idea that devs should take full accountability for LLM generated code. He also didn't even say the code was generated by Claude, just the description, alth…

    A side note, isn't package maintenance something that can actually be solved to some extent by LLMs? The prompt would be something like "Clone this repo and build this package whil…

    I'm not sure about that, they could do far worse than delist you if they really hated you.

    Interesting point, but I'd always thought the opposite, you're much better protected by the law if you use services from your own country. If you use a service outside your country…

    What is a voicemail in this context? What app is reading it?

    Detect the mouse moving in a "non-human way"? If it were that easy there'd be no hackers. And even if it where, what about wall hacks?

    There's just different types of programming, I also find that if I give a decent description of a bug an LLM will often find the problem, and that great in a system that's mostly l…

    I recently had my faith shattered with I saw someone lock onto an ally through a wall in a kill cam, and I haven't played sense. Blatant cheaters are bad in some ways, but subtle c…

    I think there's a large subset of programmers now who consider null checking (or even the existence of null) to be bad, and prefer something else like exceptions or option types. I…

    $600/mo? Do you mean $600 as a one time purchase for life? I've never heard of any Adobe plan that expensive.

    This looks to me like the issue is that Zed is using too many buffer objects, it should be querying the Vulkan context to see what's the max and sticking to it. So it seems like Ze…

    Vulkan, DX11, or Metal, I'm curious which environment has the ability render a GUI desktop but doesn't have access to a modern renderer pipeline. VirtualBox I guess?

    Everyone talks badly about Cursor and it is kinda a piece of junk, but no, there's nothing that has the features of: being able to see agent diffs in an editor, seeing diffs inline…

    Yes, but I got a subscription because I was tired of alt+tabbing to the Cursor spending dashboard between prompts to make sure I wasn't over spending. I'm ok if they slow me down f…
