Same, but I always run within dev-containers. I joke I trust my LLM with the same energy I trust juniors?

What is there to mock? Making ten smart rings because each one is consumable sounds worse for the environment than making one that has a simple charging circuit?

Rip the band-aid. You don't own your email, which means all the things you're worried about could at any moment be lost anyway. Buy a domain, own the MX records, send your emails w…

Massively, armed with the right tools you can tear apart old software now

Anecdotal but over several years with an AMD GPU in my desktop I've tried multiple times to do real AI work and given up every time with the AMD stack.

This. When compilers came along, I believe a bunch of junior engineers just gave up utterly on understanding the shape of how the code was generated in assembly which was a mistake…

I think it's more: when I don't have access to a compiler I am useless. It's better to go for a walk than learn assembly. AI agents turn our high-level language into code, with var…

Personally I consider the crop part of the problem. By cropping (rather than just picking another image) it "cleans" the image, but retains the context. I could crop many images to…

I want to point out some of the language you've used. You've brought up "current narrative", "crusade", "sin" and "inquisition", when really you seem to be saying "the image doesn'…

You're right my comment was off the cuff but I stand by it's logic. I didn't say Kovid was a terrible person, just not great. Having not done research into him specifically I just …

Interesting you say the Dev isn't a great person, because I had a hunch when I saw the use of the Lena photo on the front page ( https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/it-s-time-t…

It's a definitive statement that you don't want to talk to people. In London not wearing headphones ironically means you become a target for people who want your attention. And it …

Lets add some context. Amazon is the author's only job. 5yrs Software, 7yrs Senior, 4yrs Principal, now runs a YouTube self-help. Reading through there are multiple lines that coll…

Honestly great work, but this is very much something where the results matter more than the product. It ends without a single comment about whether it worked in Production.

Left before the loading animation finished.

Given MCP is supposed to just be a standardised format for self-describing APIs, why are all the features you listed MCP related things? It sounds more like it's forced the enterpr…

When I started my career I heard people say almost verbatim "Stack overflow is making junior devs useless", with the idea all we did was copypaste scripts over. The same people fai…

It feels wild to have to keep reminding people, but AI changes very little. Tools have always had a variety of output, and ways to control this, and bad tools output a lot by defau…

This is the answer. If you provide internet access to someone, you're responsible for it. It's a generally established law from a Torrenting PoV, so isn't it equally applicable to …

I imagine they sweated for a moment deciding if London Underground's labyrinths counted as individual pieces or the consolidated one they went for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La…

If you didn't know, Dan-ball has a variety of fun free mobile games that are all great.

I genuinely just don't use the Start Menu anymore. It cannot find anything, and every search will include two Internet results (Bing only of course) and a Microsoft Store reference…

Creeper World, am I right?

I think it should. Hate it or not he has a proven ability to create environments where people thrive and want to work the hardest they ever have. Moreover, an ability to understand…
