Yup, that is where my mind was.

People tell these models everything . You don't think a pretty unethical company can figure out a way to monetize that?

Not that I've done a ton of hiring, but no, that hasn't been common anywhere I've worked. The tech world is huge, it's easy to go somewhere else, outside of whatever bubble of peop…

American exceptionalism is a poison to the mind. Elect people who are "true believers", and this is the expected outcome.

They've been doing that (ask an LLM) since the start, and look at how much "success" we've had!

Seems like something that could be negotiated with other nations in a peaceful way, if fishing was the only concern. The sub fleet is the real concern though.

Hope it goes well for you Andy. Have loved your lectures over the years. Best of luck!

Yup, don't care. The trust has been broken a thousand times with this admin. Why should I believe this is the one time they are being straight with us?

No, from what I have heard "explosive" isn't being treated with enough weight. Not all diarrhea is "explosive". This is worse than your average food poisoning from everything i've …

Batteries are cheap enough to build (using a commercial installer completely kills the economics, because you're paying five to ten times the actual cost in the US) a reasonable si…

Been there dude. I get it.

I'll have to give it a shot some time soon. I just can't imagine working on any of my serious projects doing a new large feature with that little room. By the time it has looked at…

Dude, that's like, our kids' problem.

"They are using and paying for an API I am selling...But they save the data and use it for something I don't like! I'm being attacked."

I read the AI chatbot part as sarcasm fwiw.

At this point, why would I trust what they say?

Trying to have it do some rework on a patch to Postgres I'm working on, it just completely shuts down. The reported issues were with privileged escalation and I was instructing it …

Ask yourself, who seems to be the destabilizing force if you take a step back and look at the state of things objectively? There is some blame on all sides for sure, not saying it'…

That is entirely a design choice if you make your DBA responsible for that type of thing. I have all my database functions version controlled and deployed by liquibase on every rel…

Heh, yeah I suppose there are still some foot guns if you don't understand how things work.

Using something like EBS for your postgres data directory is, IMO, a bad idea. If you've already made that mistake, yeah I suppose using PG dump isn't that bad. I'd much rather jus…

But the other option is just doing it right from the start and using a tool like pgbackrest. It's no harder to setup, and it puts you into best practices by default rather than hav…

Can't recommend pgbackrest enough. It's fantastic software, and I love the work they put into doing inter-file deltas for backups (so if 8kb of a 1gb file changes, you only backup …

It was a decent deal ~6-8 months ago. I had been using 3.1 pro almost since release, but it really is feeling old. After using other models more in the past two months though...I r…
