LLMs aren't nearly mature or deterministic enough to earn that distinction. I've had an agent tell me it read a link I gave it, when actually it lied. I don't see how you could pos…

I think the kind of surface level rewrites that people rag on are pretty rare, at least in my experience. Realistically code that's impossible to understand, underdocumented, and l…

I don't think we should use webdev as an example of why lossy copy and paste works for the industry.

For pretty much every single person you or I personally know, that would be the equivalent of the end of humanity. Let’s not nitpick here. Worldwide human suffering and tragedy is …

This is a pretty discriminatory comment that I’ve honestly seen zero hint of in reality. And this is coming from someone who didn't go to a particularly prestigious school. I hones…

Much less money lost, but Amazon is notorious for not providing free game codes that are supposed to be included with GPU purchases. The customer rep at first apologized and offere…

Basically locks you out of HDR, high frame rates, VRR, or (more importantly) new panel technology like OLED.

I don't really buy your premise. What you're suggesting is that all code has bugs, and those bugs have equal severity and distribution regardless of any forethought or rigor put in…

In this context I meant throwaway as "low stakes" not "meaningless". Again, evaluating the output of a database import like that could be existensial for your company given the con…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone seriously argue that personal throwaway projects need thorough code reviews of their vibe code. The problem comes in when I’m maintaining a 20 …

Does Taiwan not have healthcare? Verbatim from Wikipedia: > According to the Numbeo Health Care Index in 2025, Taiwan has the best healthcare system in the world, scoring 86.5 out …

Literally everything will say AI generated to avoid potential liability. You'll have a "known to the state of California to cause cancer" situation.

Thank you for sharing this holy crap. I have this exact monitor and that popup drives me absolutely insane.

It really depends on the engineer. I've seen some engineers in that exact position you describe, their job description says they influence the org broadly so that's what they set o…

Aren't you effectively saying that no one will understand the code they're actually deploying? That's always true to an extent, but at least today you mostly understand the code in…

This isn't really porn adopting ChatGPT, it's OpenAI allowing porn. There was nothing stopping Pornhub from releasing their own LLM. If porn became a feature gated behind YouTube P…

I mean, there's very specific reasons either color gets support from their voters. I wouldn't say all of those reasons warrant the same amount of fervor, passion, and loyalty that …

I think most people aren't leaving their house each day with the same worries people in the 20th century had. It is certainly much nicer to be alive now than then, especially in pl…

Honestly this is one of the undersold advantages of public transit. It can be fun to optimize your path and switch things up both on a macro and micro timescale. In a car since I'm…

The restrictions are initially limited to those countries.

When I started, I was told that one of the easier ways to get promo at L5 was to become a manager. I don't know how true that was at the time, but I think this could be a consequen…

This is a JAX article, a parallel computation library that's meant to abstract away vendor specific details. Obviously if you want the most performance you need to know specifics o…

Same here. Part of me wonders if primary school trains your brain to learn via writing things down on paper.

Thinking more cynically: political corruption and connections I'm guessing? Just a couple months ago Musk was treating the US government like his personal playground.

I don't understand this? The comment is next to the code it's mentioning. If the comment doesn't have enough context then the comment isn't long enough. Worst case you should be ab…
