That's true and fair, and re-reading OP it doesn't address hallucinations exactly either. I was more thinking of it as a toy example for non-tech folk (grandma?) to see that what a…

Not that I've had to deal with this specifically, but I have noticed how the input phrasing in my prompts pushes the LLM in different directions. I've just tried a quick test with …

MkDocs with the Material for MkDocs theme has reasonable blogging support, and a dockerized image for building. It also has some other features like footnotes, mermaid diagrams, an…

MkDocs with the "Material for MkDocs" theme and it has a docker based builder image if you want a one-line isolated build command. Mostly pure Markdown with opt-in syntax extension…

That bill passed the Commons, but has been amended by the Lords (I know the Commons can override the Lords if it wants to, but it's not at that stage yet) https://bills.parliament.…

Wow, I'm impressed how grumpy one can seem in a few short sentences. Take an upvote for that alone. GP has a certain - admittedly orthogonal - point. At what point does "just two c…

I don't see a comment here for MkDocs, so I'll mention it. It was started as a pet project for development knowledge, specifically migrating to local Docker-powered development env…

Individual Contributor and Performance Improvement Plan

Would you feel this way if he'd won big after buying a lottery ticket, or received an inheritance from a family member? He took a risk (potentially, maybe he's the founder, maybe i…

As a British expat living in Asia, I was heavily amused to read this passage in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age : There was lengthy discourse between the two men on which of them…

I'm resistant to GraphQL, although I take the caveat that I was also initially resistant to JSX and CSS-in-JS and my thinking has since evolved. My two main annoyances are a) Graph…

Not a moral problem? Humanist? Why can't we have nice things and do this out of simple human empathy for those who suffer?

I don't necessarily disagree with this - I've often felt like the criteria used to make software development decisions should be more empirical (YAGNI etc, schemas, contracts - not…

I was born 17.09.1990, exactly a year off. I grew up with Linux and am eternally grateful to the "scene" surrounding the magazine CDs with - I don't know - like 17 distros packed i…

You're quite right - I have some trouble with "modal" popup windows and the Atlassian Single Sign On in particular with the temporary extensions tab. But I eventually figured out t…

Ask and ye shall receive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... I use this in combination with "normal" containers and it works a treat

I've struggled with this personally at our company. A sibling comment mentioned a README for each project/process. That's definitely a solid start for building this up from nothing…

Without diving into the ins-and-outs of this, my current contract contains a claim like this. Well outside the US, and the UK/EU - it's in South East Asia. It says something like "…

I just had to look up that claim, and it seems that Turing admitted a homosexual relationship during a police investigation about his house being burgled, seeing as that relationsh…

I see what you mean, but I suspect the author might be referring to the Russian disinformation campaign to favour Republicans. I see it just as an example - obviously it can be ada…

They are particularly horrendous..I've had the misfortune to work with government-provided PDFs using custom font glyphs in lieu of proper encodings. In some cases this was the onl…

Ah, crikey. It's always tricky to defend a position against a well-reasoned critique, but I'll try ;) 1) I typed a few answers to this, but I'll simplify. No, it isn't OK. But (ple…

Now, I actually find this a reasonable way to phrase their position: > "We respect the fact that for those of us in the United States, we live in a democratic republic in which the…

A couple of random addendums (although these aren't necessarily what you'd use day to day) git diff --color-moved (seriously, read through the man page for git diff sometime) git l…

I had no idea :D I just thought they were exceptionally robust, and - ironically - cheap as chips at the time. Now that I think about it, yes, the term "chiclet" clearly contrasts …
