Yes I do agree with you that having a tool that gives rocket fuel to a fraud engine should probably be regulated in some fashion. Tiered licensing, mandatory safety training, and w…

Probably. Something like that is what I meant by “social consequences”. Perhaps there should be civil or criminal ones for more egregious cases.

I am not against regulation. Quite the opposite actually.

You're projecting.

If you were to wager a guess, what do you think my views on gun rights are?

If it was a well understood property of calculators that they gave incorrect answers randomly then you need to adjust the way you use the tool accordingly.

Yes, LLMs didnt create the problem they just accelerated it to a speed that beggars belief.

I Would love to know what tools you are using.

If a carpenter builds a crappy shelf “because” his power tools are not calibrated correctly - that’s a crappy carpenter, not a crappy tool. If a scientist uses an LLM to write a pa…

Poodr is one of the best programming books ever written. Even if you don’t program in Ruby you should read it anyway (and pick up a bit of Ruby just for fun) because there are lots…

This is total amateur shit. Completely unacceptable for something as critical as Cloudflare.

Django is awesome. I just prefer Rails because I prefer Ruby as a language. If you like Python then Django will get you very far.

There are games I have that don't run on even Windows 10 but work flawlessly in Wine/Proton. The amazing work the Wine team and Valve have done can't be understated.

No. I refuse to just sit back and accept being abused by the elite just because "well, that's just the way it is", "that's human nature". Holy war is also human nature. Revolution …

Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have not had the displeasure of working with people either tha incompetent or willfully ignorant yet.

Every day I hate AI and big tech more and more. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them anymore, they find a way.

> Framegen can be useful but has niche application Somebody should tell that to the AAA game developers that think hitting 60fps with framegen should be their main framerate target…

The bigwigs at my company want to build out a document management suite. After talking to VP of technology about requirements I ask about security as well as what the regulatory re…

My google account is old enough to drink in the United States. It’ll be a cold day in hell that I give them my government issued ID or let them do a face scan.
