At my job REST just means "not SOAP" basically. No other standardization.

This part confused me: > lacks basic features like dealing with compressed files – I don’t count a decades-old cumbersome wizard-style interface with countless steps to go through …

What we get typically is a second or third-hand summary of an analysis someone else did about how the current version works, with no indication of what stuff has to stay as-is in o…

Splinter Cell and Thief are the only series I'm familiar with that actually have light and shadow based stealth. Everything else is all hiding around corners or inside/under furnit…

I think it's a good idea to experiment with and discover the limitations of small, untuned models before exposing yourself to the modern very powerful ones. It gives you a better s…

Agreed, and you could get a completely unrelated LLM to generate a similar apology without any of the real context, it would make up reasoning just as effectively.

Seems valid to me. I won't read articles with model-generated header images, because it's a good indicator the rest of the text will be slop as well. For a restaurant, a slop logo …

Probably more likely to run into a Shoggoth than Cthulhu in the Antarctic, or maybe an Elder Thing if any are still around. Rl'yeh is a bit further north.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand where that 3.9 g expected weight comes from.

Sounds like my Dad, who used to have an uncanny ability to get stuck in elevators. Even got stuck in one with his claustrophobia therapist.

Regarding the interactions shown in the screenshots: LLMs are pattern-matching machines. They keep the pattern going. Once "the agent disobeys the human's instructions" has made it…

It makes the behavior more obvious from simply looking at the file, for one thing, and it means you can just lump it into your next `git add -A` without needing to handle it specia…

I've never been a fan of dual grid, and personally prefer the rpg maker approach of using 5 sample tiles and then chopping up and recombining them to make the 47 tiles needed for w…

Teams messages expire in 30 days at my job, we use email for anything that needs a paper trail

We use Mulesoft where I work, and XML namespaces are a constant issue. We never managed to define an API spec in such a way that the RAML compiler and the APIKit validator would bo…

Yeah I strongly feel that the best outcome of all of this would be the end of sponsorships and affiliate links, and a general reduction in price discrimination.

Something I've occasionally wished for is a classic-style Zelda game[1] where partway through the adventure you discover that all the dungeons are actually adjacent to each other, …

It's wild to me that it doesn't even generate a tooltip by default.

We had this problem, 119 services that all got their dependencies from a shared domain. Individual services had to depend on the exact version of libraries provided by the domain. …

Article says 7 million

Wonder if/when prescription lenses will be available for it. I had to get some for my index since my glasses were too big to fit inside the headset.

Microsoft is terrible about this kind of stuff. We have a big problem with MS Teams replacing tabs with nbsps in XML code snippet blocks. It breaks our pom files. We've also had si…

American tipping culture has its origins in the post-Civil-War south: > Following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, formerly enslaved Black workers were often relegated t…

The government staying out of it makes it worse . The companies have so much power over your life without any oversight.

A payment processor should be treated like a utility. They just let the money flow and skim profit off the top without caring who's at either end.
