The incessant need to constantly leave "the code doesn't work like , it works like " frustrates me to no end. No amount of directions against it in project MEMORY, CLAUDE.md, or ev…

I too have settled into a kind of dual Claude/GPT model setup. I will often use one to review the other's work, or critique the other's plan in some way. Sometimes I'll have Claude…

most large companies, maybe, but small-to-medium-sized businesses can and will tell you to take a hike. there are no consumer protections in the US regarding returns beyond the goo…

Exactly. You as the programmer know that the loop counter won't overflow, and in general, essentially nobody would actually write it that way. But if you don't assume it can't happ…

I see what you're going for, but I don't see how your example is UB. If `p` is a pointer, and, after your `if (p)` check, `p` is dereferenced unconditionally, then yes, your check …

Exactly. I see this common idea trotted out that "where there's a will, there's a way" -- if the government bans something, the ban will never be effective, because people still wa…

No, you don't understand. We're... - mining the 95th percentile, leveraging the Pareto Principle - optimizing and ubiquitizing under-optimized paradigms - pioneering agentic soluti…

Yeah, actually I completely agree with you. This discussion has gotten way out of hand.

I don't think that altruism is specific to Christianity. I clarified that in a sibling comment (which you seemed to indicate you had read?), and that what I meant was Christianity …

If you were interested in demonstrating my lack of education, I'm not sure you have done so. But I'm happy to conclude this exchange with your feeling satisfied on that point. I do…

Why not eliminate tax entirely, then? Is that a conclusion you'd support?

> The us govt wastes by some estimates 30% of its budget. Trillions annually. Have to start with the waste and fraud. Empty daycares are not a good use of hard-earned tax dollars a…

26% AI generated? What does that even mean? How is Pangram arriving at that figure?

> Nobody wants to give away a slice of their net worth to pay for bullshit wars and ballrooms. The vast majority of people in America are already doing this, because their wealth i…

Sure, I never claimed that Christians invented charity. They're certainly not even the only religion that advocates universal charity. To be clear, what I see as distinctly Christi…

> Everyone's job is to please their manager. Indeed. I've spent my professional career seeking out positions at companies of increasing prestige and technical renown, each with a h…

The vast majority of people tuning into those kinds of slop streams are not really active listeners. It's more akin to turning on the radio while you work/clean/perform some other …

Not only have you misinterpreted my comment to attack claims I never made, you've also used this misinterpretation as license to insult me. Lovely.

I don't think you can really escape this anywhere online. Hacker News has the same problem, really.

I'd even argue that we should encourage _more_ of this behavior, if it leads to more charity. The idea that you have to do good deeds without expecting any kind of reward or recogn…

The way some people talk about AI is so distinctly religious to me. The comment above reads like some perverse prophecy. The author is clear to indicate that it's only supposition,…

Not really sure you gain much, either. Unless false confidence is your goal.

I've noticed a prevailing narrative (mostly observed on Reddit) that DLSS 5 "rewrites" artistic intent, painting NVIDIA as sort of carelessly slopifying games without any care for …

This is only true if people's want for it exceeds their want to not break the law. For illegal drugs, people who want them want them a lot, so them being illegal isn't a strong det…
