there's nothing wise about hoarding

it's heavy lifestyle restrictions that lead to anti-social behavior in the first place. by far the most common crime is property crime, people usually commit it out of desperation …

can you share any examples of these "new and better ways to use them"? because the only way I've used LLM and seen other people use it is to literally just talk to it, which doesn'…

Satoshi may also be unable to cash out simply because they are dead.

it's an exaggeration for sure but I don't think it's a stretch to believe Anthropic spends considerably more effort on data scraping & curation than anything else

To me the image of a world where everyone does menial work while entertaining themselves with AI-generated "art" doesn't seem fun, it seems extremely depressing and dystopian. I gu…

Anecdotally I'm programming for non-English business domains in Go and Python and I've literally never seen anyone use native alphabet in identifiers - it's always either poor tran…

it is weird, especially for Go with its semantic naming and famously opinionated compiler. it will gladly build code with a variable named 𖤐界ᥱᥲΣ੭, but God forbid it's unused.

That implies they think some people (apparently the ones who eat takeout or don't go to gym), are just not "good enough" to have friends. It's an esteem for others issue.

I don't know if this list motivates anyone, it just makes me feel like I'm not worth being friends with and I will be forever alone, even though I do have friends. Seriously, do yo…

It's exactly concerns like these that could drive people into loneliness and nihilism, when constant disappointment with a lack of care from society turns into hatred and despair.

Is it the first time when workers directly work on their own replacement? If so, software developer may go down in history as the dumbest profession ever.

but annoying hype is exactly the issue with AI in my eyes. I get it's a useful tool in moderation and all, but I also experience that management values speed and quantity of delive…
