How do you "throw away" the bloat when it becomes embedded through the code base? Is GitHub just going to rollback to some commit from 3 years ago?

Commenting just so I can check later what he comes back with.

Simply use a browser plugin (or any other mechanism) that invokes the agent when the "HATCHA" appears.

Number 2 is the thing, right? Why bother asking? Is a recruiter going to fly out to my high school and see if they can get records? Interview a teacher that still works there? You …

+1 to this method. Prior to having a reserved ~6 hour slot of sleep the lack of sleep was getting BAD.

Well they aren't people churning out 40k words :) I've spent very little time on ao3, but I imagine it's slightly better than RR where seemingly a mark of value is "huge length (wo…

The metro is a much less stressful experience for me with noise cancellation on. Without them the noise in tunnels just makes me anxious. The outside tracks are all fine without th…

> I was also confused why commit and push are different steps I think most people think about file access in the word processor terms, like you mentioned. You "edit," "save," "uplo…

These criticisms of git always seems so shallow to me. 'add' tells git to start tracking some file(s) 'commit' tells git to save the currently tracked files 'push' says "upload my …

Because the same reasoning behind that statements implies that certain races are innately inferior to others. You chose to write "Asians" and "whites" here - why not make the same …

Well the .NET random is bad. It seems really the problem is twofold: the reference is from 1992 and cites a 1981 publication's reference to an unpublished 1958 generator. Not to sa…

It definitely takes a lot of work. I've read that it takes a good writer themselves to translate well, since it's such an artistic endeavor.

As somebody who regularly reads translated works, including the occasional machine translation (MTL), they (MTL) suck. You got a hugely biased result, which you recognize. Translat…

So if you want them just dumpster dive for them.

And this doesn't even include tariffs...

That's when you bust out the third LLM. Nobody expects the fourth LLM to be the REAL LLM in the chain.

Just live on /active and that stuff doesn't show up.

I don't know why any reply disagrees with this. Look at basketball in the US. The best players will tell you all they did as a kid was play basketball. You can go to anywhere somew…

> There isn’t much of a way I can see to remove data centers from the technological progress we’ve benefited from over the last couple of decades. That's not really the argument. T…

Oh stop. Both of those are a bit ridiculous. We are talking about the sudden surge of data centers, the past 1-3 years, not the 20 prior to that. Sourcing a tweet that doesn't have…

Cheaper software: where is this cheaper software? Most users don't pay for most software. Facebook/Instagram are introducing paid plans now. LLM companies are seemingly starting to…

I hate company acquisitions. Not for the aquire-ee(?), I'm not going to be a hypocrite and claim I wouldn't take the payout if I were in that position. But that companies can build…
