    Why are you taking the fall and not the PM who authored the change (and submitted a PR with an uninformative title and no comment) and, I'm assuming, plays a role in managing the p…

    How are you handing the cube state to the model?

    So what? If I could take a sugar pill that guaranteed I feel comfier looking at my screen, nobody can tell me it "doesn't work". I'm not trying to optimise my life, I'm trying to h…

    Or: this is why you strictly regulate the storage of confidential/private/sensitive information. There were multiple failures here, but a single step could've prevented the entire …

    Is there a perspective or analysis that you've read that does a good job, in your opinion?

    What did happen, then?

    I mean the fact is that it's easy to fake because the permissible space of interpretation is almost infinite. That will always be the case, and the only thing people demonstrate wh…

    I don't think you believe this, honestly. The point, in my view, of art is to form personal relationships with the artwork. I can read Notes From Underground with no background on …

    At some point we have to bound our terms, obviously if someone interprets The Great Gatsby to be making commentary on interplanetary space travel they are incorrect but if someone …

    I hate this sentiment. The book isn't "about" a thing in particular, neither does it "mean" any specific thing. It may have been written with some ideas in mind, and there may even…

    I haven't read much about it to understand what's going on, but the development of multi-modal models has also felt like a major step. Being able to paste an image into a chat and …

    I never said C++ was inefficient, you don't have to prove anything. It's a hypothetical, try use your imagination. > Corporations gobbling up tax payer money to build power hungry …

    If a "C+++" was created that was so efficient that it would allow teams to be smaller and achieve the same work faster, would that be anti-worker? If an IDE had powerful, effective…

    If you define "simple thing" as "thing an AI can't do", then yes. Everyone just shifts the goalposts in these conversations, it's infuriating.

    Comment #46236484

    To say that a model won't solve a problem is unfair. Claude Code, with Opus 4.5, has solved plenty of problems for me. If you expect it to do everything perfectly, you're thinking …

    I've often seen people mention that one reason for games like Call of Duty being so enormous is optimising for performance over storage. You'd rather decompress textures/audio file…

    I've had this thought before, when seeing labels that talk about kWh/day. The answer is very simple: you pay per kWh. When people want to know power efficiency, what they really wa…
