I cannot understand the overwhelmingly negative sentiment in this thread. I've used LLMs every day at work for several years now, I am a firm believer they're useful. Never once ha…

For the same reason software engineers still employed. AI is not yet capable of autonomous software development. From my perspective we're nowhere close.

Yep, I have heard of many such cases and I know someone affected personally. For someone who refuses to take down the personal information of others this is extremely hypocritical.…

Actually Spotify finally introduced lossless quality, after teasing it for something like five years!

Spotify is the only streaming service I still pay for, and I will continue to pay for, because: 1. The catalog is comprehensive. I listen to far more music than I could afford to o…

NordVPN users sold by the "anti-hacker" ads?

Definitely a typo, see "vietnam-news" in the same URL.

Because people will solve the challenge once, and then use the cookie in automation tools. It already happens with shorter expiration cookies.

Because this behavior is not socially acceptable. It's perfectly alright not to contact laid off co-workers you didn't have a relationship with. Feigning care is either misguided o…

This is what I took away from the post too. I'm not going to invite someone out for a coffee so I can use them down the road. I feel the same way about "networking". The people aro…

Life's too short for bullshitting. Why not just speak your mind and avoid the people who react that way? I've found that if I sanitize my words I get sanitized responses, and vice …

I feel the same, including code. I cannot justify it. I can easily counter my own arguments. Still, the further we automate human thought and creativity the worse it makes me feel.…

I agree with you. It's easy to become desensitized to tragedy when you're only reading words. Regardless of opinions, it's hard not to empathize with a man shot dead before your ey…

> AKA the other taxpayers are footing the bill Curious as to how you reached this conclusion. No taxpayer funds are going towards construction or operation of the data center. The …

Given the state of the Kindle and Fire TV interfaces, I hope Amazon keeps far away.

I did some looking into this a few days ago, and I can understand the sentiment. I can't understand the proposed implementation. There is a lack of technical discourse and heavy cr…

23, coming up on 24.

I am a software engineer based in Louisiana. I've hit 2YoE and I feel as if I've already hit a ceiling. There are few software jobs here, most of which are under-paid senior roles.…

I refuse to believe there are professional software developers who don't use debuggers. What are you all working on? How do you get your bearings in a new code-base? Do you read it…

Well this explains the issues I've been having with Spotify through the last hour.

23m, 2 YoE software engineer, live in Louisiana. I take home around $1100 weekly after tax. My monthly bills total ~$2500. I put ~$600 into my personal IRA, being a contractor. Wha…

I am the kind of person who is very inconsistent. My opinions and identity are fluid, often I learn something new or see something from a different perspective and my framework get…

Yet it's obvious why it's stupid to say that everyone who lives in the mountains ends up dying. The majority of projects fail, but we see successful projects all around us. I don't…

I've found a lot of value in this approach as well, I don't delegate any architecture decisions to LLMs. I build out the high-level and I see if the LLM can fill the gaps. I've fou…
