If that is the case, it's a very different claim than that AI is plagiarizing Tailwind (which was somewhat of a reach, given the permissiveness of the project's MIT license). Achie…

I see what you're getting at, but CSS is as much an open standard as the law. Public legal docs written against legal standards aren't fundamentally dissimilar to open source libra…

I'm not going to dogpile criticism on Tailwind or Adam, whose behavior seems quite admirable, but I fundamentally agree with the thrust of the parent comment. It's unfortunate for …

Thanks for sharing, that is really bad. I did say "mostly", though. A bizarre anomaly that will most likely get thrown out in court is still pretty different from comparable practi…

Anyone who spends any amount of time perusing discussions on social media will quickly observe what a rare gift strong reading comprehension turns out to be.

I think there's an important material difference between the two. China's single party is authoritarian and uncontested. America's two major parties are mildly authoritarian on dif…

I'm not sure why you're randomly insinuating otherwise, but I've only received positive feedback on the quality of my work.

They're just different use cases. There's a difference between a learning exercise and a contractual engagement to deliver a product to a client.

In summary, the Luddites had a point. It doesn't mean they were ultimately correct, just that their concerns were valid. Regardless of anyone's thoughts on genAI in particular, it'…

There's no "tricking" involved, and no basis for your assumption that LLMs lower the quality of work. I would suggest that what you and the author are observing is actually the opp…

We were talking about writing, not about vibe coding. No one said anything about vibe coding. Using tools appropriately to accomplish tasks more quickly is just common sense. Delib…

Understanding or being interesting has nothing to do with it. We use calculators and computers for a reason. No one hires people to respond to API requests by hand; we run the code…

You're making a weirdly uncharitable assumption. I'm referring to information which I largely or entirely wrote myself, or which I otherwise have proprietary access to, not which I…

To be clear, I'm not a student, nor do I disagree with academic honor codes that forbid LLM assistance. For anything that I apply AI assistance to, the extent to which I could pers…

I think the author has a fair take on the types of LLM output he has experience with, but may be overgeneralizing his conclusion. As shown by his example, he seems to be narrowly f…

I've found that AI is incredibly valuable as a general thinking assistant for those tasks as well. You still need enough expertise to know when to reach for it, what to prompt it w…

I would argue that it isn't only possible, but on track to arrive sooner than most people realize: * AI models are steadily continuing to improve in capabilities and efficiency * M…

That was my exact reaction. I'm not sure how much I like Nvidia acquiring Arm, but on some level as an American my instinct is to encourage it. If it is the FTC's actual position t…

Apparently my original reply to this was controversial. Let's try again. Please explain how it has nothing to do with me when I'm the one being asked to foot the bill. Let's say it…

I'm a developer who maintains repositories with master branches. It is exactly about me.

Makes sense. I'm not familiar with Fossil, but I know trunk was also the standard when I used SVN back in the day. I think the trunk-branch metaphor makes more sense in the central…

I haven't read the article or the book in question, but this reminds me of the hullabaloo about git master branches. Never in my life have I associated git or its default branch na…

Ha, you beat me right before my edit.

Devil's advocate: why should they be selective about who they receive donations from? Obviously they shouldn't name a building or something after the guy, but, to give an extreme e…
