    My intent is to highlight that unless you have evidence of corruption, accusing people of bribery is just slander by another name. I hold our politicians in no high regard, but I d…

    A bribe is in fact, so rare, that I'd assume one would have at least a bit of evidence to present that accusation. Or is this one of those, "I don't like that person, so I'll just …

    Can you expound? I've heard nothing of any bribery around the Memphis data center.

    Prison is where we put people who have broken laws. A zoo is primarily where we put animals who are incapable of surviving in the wild. It is also a place where the next generation…

    They want it to look more full because no one likes watching the Titans suck wind year after year, so the old stadium was laughably empty when the cameras panned over the stands. I…

    Do you have proof that people are bribing the federal government to ignore federal law? That seems like quite the accusation and I haven't heard anything about that.

    You can summarize this roughly by comparing art for its own sake versus art for a purpose. If I need software for a purpose, I don't care how it is crafted, only that it is crafted…

    My family and I have been watching discovery's shark week, and I could swear that many of the B rolls we've been watching are AI generated. can anyone confirm? That seems... surpri…

    I'm glad to have found this site. Though it's obviously AI-generated, the research itself is solid (I've checked). I'm using it to avoid enshittified brands in the future.

    Why stop there? No true developer needs more than 32k! -- Jesting aside, I cannot think of a single session in recent memory that used less than ~70k tokens, so I presume you are j…

    Nature != Good We miss that much of the time, and it causes all manner of suffering.

    "There is way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death." Proverbs 14:12 By my own admission, I often place importance on the wrong things. I am building the discipli…

    Is this a comment toward the author? Surely the irony isn't lost upon you that they literally are advocating for getting a life.

    I think it boils down to most of these folks don't have anything better to do. Or worse (the bucket I find myself in) this type of work is the most mentally stimulating thing I hav…

    I think part of the lie is that we live for and unto ourselves. We instinctively know it's not true, yet for much of our lives we live as if it is. Until one day we find out what w…

    I may be crucified for asking this but: is there any proof that slop matters beyond our sensibilities as developers? If the code is ugly, but defects are low—does it matter? If the…

    Or tell me what it explicitly doesn't do. I like marketing that says, "We don't X" It's very clear and not "clever"

    Ours is a religion of submission to God, literally calling upon us to "pick up your cross daily." Which is, to die to yourself in submitting to God's will. Various books of the Bib…

    If I recall correctly that was a bug, not malicious intent. Hanlon's razor makes me presume that's likely.

    I love AI. I'm just as AI-pilled as the next guy. But, somewhat ironically, LLMs are unbelievably bad at writing. I can read thousands of words from my favorite authors without get…

    This article wasn't written for folks who just want to "turn it off". If that's you, by all means do so. New people coming into the field will likely not have the privilege of deci…
