This is just extortion with extra steps.

So wait…they were specifically testing cyber capability and they didn’t notice it doing funny business until after it was done? Did they just…let it do whatever with nobody watchin…

My entire university education was evaluated mostly by proctored closed book exams and oral defenses. AI proof 10 years before AI.

Code generation was never the hard part. Knowing wtf you’re supposed to actually write was always much harder and this hasn’t changed. It’s not hard to write a loop or an if-statem…

Just bought a B550 and a Ryzen 5 5500. Both were on sale on newegg. 30-40% off so and under 200 bucks. Grabbed a new case since my current one is practically falling apart. Will be…

You will own nothing and be happy.

Thanks for the advice gone look into it more this weekend

I’ve been pricing out my various options but the notion of replacing a 10 year old motherboard with another 10 year old motherboard is kinda lousy. The PC I replaced when I bought …

“use lower cost models” “use price controls” Truly revolutionary stuff.

Motherboard. New motherboard…so new cpu socket (mine was Broadwell)…and new ram needed. GPU is mostly fine and can probably reuse that but it’s Vega so not the greatest I was due f…

My own PC died and now I’m locked out of my entire Steam library for the foreseeable future. A $2000 PC is literally a downgrade from what I bought 10 freaking years ago. What the …

Bold of you to assume they’re actual users.

From the sounds of it - Devutils on MacOS is an excellent offline (native app) slop-free alternative and the license is worth it for the extra functions and supporting the develope…

It is going to backfire spectacularly. It’s actually mind boggling to me how stupid business idiots actually are. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/zoomers-ai-sabo...

The competence crisis in a few years is going to be apocalyptic.

> but it would just sound dumb or biased We have one of those: Grok.

You hire juniors but don’t let them use AI tools for a year :)

The Turing Test is about being able to figure out if “someone” is a computer during a short conversation, not “millions of articles”. LLMs still live in the uncanny valley and can …

Not an issue for me anymore. I make a change, then tell the agent to make the ticket too. lol

You say that they pass the Turing test yet every post on HN complains about the way LLMs write so clearly they haven’t passed it yet because we can still tell it’s a bot.

Videogames are a weird comparison because they are basically the ultimate culmination of the combination of both engineering and art. The two can crossover in weird ways but still …

The value you get for a sublime text+merge is so much higher than whatever you’d get by paying for an equivalent cost of a subscription to whatever Zed is selling to monetize their…

(1) If you wanted to make money don’t make an editor. And yet, somehow Sublime Text survives.. (2) hence why I call them “distractions”. And yet Sublime Text hasn’t gotten greedy..…

That must be the difference between me and the “skilled” prompt-brained “junior developers” (allegedly) that I work with that revert to a pre-historic ape brain if they don’t have …

Breaking down long term problems into small shorter problems we can solve one after another until the long term problem is solved is the essence of engineering.
