    Finally, someone is fixing a problem that’s tailored to me. For me, FFF obviously stands for “Fat-Fingered Finder.”

    It’s already happening. This came up in a webinar attended by someone from our sales team: > "A typo or two also helps to show it’s not AI (one of the biggest issues right now)."

    > Huh? No, that's been established since Karpathy coined the term; you don't review the code, only use the agent and don't care about how it was done, just about the results. Howev…

    In that case, removing „perhaps“ would have helped a lot. It is not about maybe being hired, but about maybe being interviewed.

    The closest I come to working with part-time, minimum-wage workers is working with student employees. Even then, they earn more and usually work more than five hours a week. Most o…

    Factorio 2.0 seemed to pull it off. I think that as long as users don’t feel misled by a DLC that only adds a few skins, they generally appreciate larger updates to a game.

    Exactly this. I thought about getting a T7, but the price is just ridiculous. And it’s not even like you’re paying for quality, there are so many complaints about both minor and ma…

    People being prevented from doing their job because of code formatting? In my nearly 20 years of development, that statement was indeed true, but only before the age of formatters.…

    I still have a bad taste in my mouth after all those GPT-5 hype articles that claimed the model was just one step away from AGI.

    > The agent follows references like a human analyst would. No chunks. No embeddings. No reranking. Just intelligent navigation. I think this sums it up well. Working with LLMs is a…

    Apart from the “—“, what else gives it away? Just asking from a non-native perspective.

    I’m really trying to understand your point, so please bear with me. As I see it, this prompt is essentially an "executable script". In your view, should all prompts be analyzed and…

    I am not sure how good your test really is. Or at least how high your bar is. Paul Erdös was told about this problem with multiple explanations and just rejected the answer. He cou…

    > A repeated trend is that Claude Code only gets 70-80% of the way, which is fine and something I wish was emphasized more by people pushing agents. Recently, I realized that this …

    It’s just the ChatGPT translation, and it’s a literal one. That said, I’ve never heard that phrase in German either.

    Meanwhile, in Germany, you can get raw pork with raw onions on a bread roll at just about every other bakery. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett When I searched for the safe temp…

    Thanks for sharing! I will try this out. Sounds like something my kids would love.

    Like many others in threads like this, I initially felt repelled. It’s restrictive, it’s super expensive, and I dislike some (though not all) of the design choices. But then I remi…

    That was my first thought. This can go downhill pretty quickly. Nobody suspects that you expose your account with a link to a mention.

    Sometimes I’m astounded. Just when I think I’ve heard of most tools in a certain AI category, I come across a link here to a GitHub repo with over 4K stars. Has anyone used this on…

    After reading Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book (assuming that at least half of it is true), it seems that Zuck doesn’t hold any political beliefs at all. Just opportunism, nothing more.

    Recently, I found my old ICQ chat history from back in the day. It was a joy to go through, sometimes a little cringeworthy, but overall I really enjoyed it. It felt like a time ma…

    That hasn’t been my experience. A few tech-savvy people and those close to them may use alternatives, but even then, it’s usually just for groups where someone refuses to use Whats…
