    We have much to learn from canopy latrines. For example, unlike these noble creatures of the rain forest, my dog struggles to properly use a bidet. Maybe if I put it on the roof it…

    You have to tell it both what and how. That way it's decidedly less shit. Still needs tons of passes just keeping things somewhat coherent, but it mostly works.

    But these are the exact kinda mistakes that make me so pissed over the recent discourse that Serious Journalists shouldn't debase themselves with something as silly as basic LLM-pe…

    Very scary stuff. Shame certain details basically discredit the entire thing. "Rohypnol and GHB fall within the benzodiazepine family" is so fundamentally incorrect I'm not sure wh…

    Even if they actually did work as well as the author wants to believe they could, there's still the matter of utility. Efficient pricing of real assets actually injects something, …

    doesn't matter if it's just some agent using the system in the end, you do understand you still need an actual system for consistency etc, right? Just that instead of cirrent "maki…

    Other idea: Stay with SaaS, real devs, real core product, closed source, but each customer can (if they want and pay up) literally skip multi-tenant and being on the same codebase …

    I think the idea is you'd basically have it take a look at your current system, it would learn what features you're actually using at all, it'd check company emails for past and cu…

    Very much normal yes. This is why I've been (so far) still mainly sticking to having it as an all-knowing oracle telling me what I need to know, which it mostly does successfully. …

    Probably the best we can hope for at the moment is a reduction in the back-and-forth, increase in ability to one-shot stuff with a really good spec. The regular human work then bec…

    Why would external host matter? Your machine, hacked, not your fault. Some other machine under your domain, your fault, whether bought or hacked or freely given. Agency is attribut…

    Look, everyone in the space is eking out just about all they can. A phone with a bigger battery and larger camera sensors will involve other tradeoffs. Ones Apple don’t want to mak…

    By your interactions with them. Sure, after-the-fact caring won't result in any external effects, but a lot of caring is expressed in interaction which is indeed left with people. …

    Your caring will be passed on, that's the point.

    Which is why the foundation players must soon take on the additional role of being an ad buyer. Interactive stuff, within content. A mini game in a game, school homework of course,…

    Hey this is much like that tribe from the other day that DID get addicted to porn. What a coincidence. I've also heard of this one tribe heavily addicted to misinformation. They ju…

    The issue with what you write is that it's most all nonsense. Your core thesis doesn't pass the smell test at all. Because you utterly ignore Finland. It's less that it's not NATO …

    It's a very powerful autocomplete. "It doesn't generate all the code I need in full and if it does I have to poke at it" is just poor criticism. You don't have to press tab and ins…

    That's what makes it bad. A fixed algorithm that soon will spawn pittances would do an utterly miserable job if it ever gained status and usage as actual currency. Deflation is bad…

    Hint: the money comes from redistribution, not blindly printing more, the latter would obviously be completely insane (which is why you'd rather argue that scenario) whereas the fo…

    I care, and where I work (as a coder) what I care about does matter. Or I make it matter. You sound depressed. Maybe try find a smaller shop where you have more influence?
