    In the parts of Europe where I've lived, Western/Northern EU, the ERs nickname motorcycle as "donor-wagons".

    What's even more worrying is that I've heared plenty of people defend it as, "Younger generations are just intelligent in different ways compared to older generations." I'm halfway…

    They're not banning code written and maintained with the use of LLM's. They're banning projects entirely created by LLM's and heavily (or solely) maintained by LLM's. It's basicall…

    Everything we know and see has proven that progress is exponential. Your statement that progress or intelligence is binary has no basis outside of intentional and ignorant pessimis…

    1. Is not a gamer's dream. It's terrible and you'll find out quite fast you're not interested in everyone's background and scream to most NPC's to shut the fuck up and get to the p…

    You can also paint by squashing flies against a wall. Doesn't mean it's a good, or efficient, idea.

    Babylon 5. When people asked me what I preferred, "Star Wars or Star Trek?", I've always responded with "Babylon 5".

    I wonder what happened to the old addage of "only 10% of the time you actually spend coding, the rest of the time is figuring out what is needed". At the same time I see people cla…

    To make it even worse, he deemed none of it important enough to backup. AI fan or not, that is astoundingly stupid.

    So do I understand correctly that it's from a tooling issue? If so, thanks for that insight.

    I've heared Americans, unironically, state that the metric system is less precise than the imperial system. I have no clue what the origin is of this myth, but at this point I woul…

    Only in certain fields. For most interactions divide by 10 is far easier than divide by 12, and you'd end up with far, far more "eyeballed" measurements. So no, as a human being, I…

    I worked in a finance department for over a decade. That architect is a lunatic or a sheer idiot.

    Considering how much this particular system has been linked to real life crime and gangs, you're not far off. People downvoting you must either not be aware of this, or have a pers…

    This is why I don't listen at all to the fearmongers that say programmers will disappear. At most, our jobs will slightly change. There will always be people that describe a proble…

    Am I reading this wrong? He complaints that Valve deleted items and posts, despite them promising that it would not happen... only for the quote he provided to state that "they mig…

    I've thought of this too. But I always end up in a scenario where, in order to make the LLM spit out consistent and as precise as possible code, we end up with a very simple and ti…

    I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point. This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people e…
