That's literally what VPNs are for. If you aren't aware: a Virtual Private Network creates a fully encrypted link between you and a remote node. So long as your encryption keys are…

LLMs aren't bad for programming in general. LLMs are bad for bad programmers . LLMs will make a bad programmer worse and make a layperson think they're a prodigy. Meanwhile, the tr…

Most of these cases don't require "review". It either works or it doesn't. If you have an LLM transform a big pile of structs, you plug them into your program and it will either co…

My pixel 8 does not stay where I put it. Without a case, it will slide right off of any slightly tilted surface. It should be illegal to put glass on the back of a phone.

Maybe Apple and Amazon are the only cool heads in this absolute shitstorm. The real, intrinsic value of AI is essentially zero compared to the hype and tech-biz cargo culting. If I…

So you think the USA should interfere in a sovereign nation to intentionally and drastically damage their economy, industry, and quality of life? Because the US can't get their col…

Lots of automation. Dicing is automatic, bonding, testing are automatic. The manual work is mostly just transporting materials. The bonding machines are crazy . Definitely look it …

Turns out that garbage text has very little intrinsic value

Other nations comparable in wealth and power to the US have figured out how to build out green energy at scale. The US wants to pretend that is completely impossible and we should …

IF (and ONLY if) you are fully cognizant and aware of what you're doing and what you're talking to, an LLM can be a great help. I've been using a local model to help me work throug…

LinkedIn has the single worst search function out of any job board or website in general I've ever seen. It's astonishingly bad. The only hit I got from LinkedIn applications turne…

This take is precisely as juvenile as "taxation is theft"

No, with a long vowel sound. Caaahm. The L is blended into the M so much that it's almost silent. Unless you're specifically enunciating it. The common usage lacks the L sound, but…

Subtitles are very explicitly not something you're meant to engage with or focus on which is why people hate it when you make the subtitles more "engaging" than the content of the …

Because it would cost money to upgrade our financial infrastructure and processes. Americans aren't opposed to it. Like so many problems with America, our institutions are simply o…

Gravy train might not be the best choice of words, here

The modern piracy experience is exactly what everyone hoped and was promised that streaming would be. My husband is a non-tech person. I set up radarr and jellyfin, and now he has …

Apart from visiting the creator and physically handing them a wad of cash, you can't. There is no way at all for you as a consumer to ensure the creators are fairly paid. Simply pu…

It also gives zero money to scum-sucking studios and labels and worthless bureaucrats that only give the author a 2% cut.

That's precisely what patents are for in the modern era

The way it works for me at least is I can fit a huge amount of context in my head. This works because the text is utterly irrelevant and gets discarded immediately. Instead, my bra…

Gods, for some reason GitLab consumes 5-10% of a CPU at all times . I spent weeks trying to get it to calm down to reduce our AWS spend. Absolutely no changes no matter what I trie…

No, lying to cops is always correct.

Huh? You could always access the csproj by right clicking on the project.

No, some of them are genuinely just that delusional. No greed underneath, just pure egotistic delusion.
