I sort of wish there was a google "ad" search, where its like google search but only for ads, for the rare cases you want to buy something, and are looking through for a compatible product. Make advertisers differentiate by providing more information about their product to help me make a choice rather than shoving the product everywhere else hoping that I'll buy the thing out of fatigue
Honestly I struggled to get further than 2nd paragraph. Other commenters here also have similar spectrum of opinions, far down the "Enjoy later" mindset
I feel you but I hope we can treat this forum a bit differently than we treat Twitter hot takes. I come here for a deeper level of engagement than we can get elsewhere, and that takes more words to accomplish.
I understand I post big blocks but it is frustrating when someone misunderstands me because they read less than half of my post. There's always the option of "it's too long, I choose to not read it rather than engage with my misinterpretation of it."
In all seriousness even though deep down I know there’s no replacement for experience, I’ve seen a bunch of new people get impressively far with just hacking stuff together. And in the end if you’re making money with that for a long time, isn’t that all that matters to the companies?
You’ve missed the point of original article about the proxy for quality disappearing. LLMs are trained adversarially, if that’s a word. They are trained to not have any “tells”.
Working in a team isn’t adversarial, if i’m reviewing my colleague’s PR they are not trying to skirt around a feature, or cheat on tests.
I can tell when a human PR needs more in depth reviewing because small things may be out of place, a mutex that may not be needed, etc. I can ask them about it and their response will tell me whether they know what they are on about, or whether they need help in this area.
I’ve had LLM PRs be defended by their creator until proven to be a pile of bullshit, unfortunately only deep analysis gets you there
goddamnit, read for a solid 5 minutes until I realised the rest is paywalled, sigh. No pasty facts isn’t worth another subscription. I have many other interesting things to do
That’s a shame, though I do see that it is difficult to make any money from what it is. I’m glad they didn’t sell it to someone big for all the user’s data, though it is still early
It's owned by Automattic, isn't it? I assume they're simply keeping the lights on for whoever wants to use it.
For about a year I've noticed that it tends to quit on its own on my Mac. Whenever I need to look for a note I realize the app is inactive and I need to re-launch it. Then it works perfectly well, until somehow, at some point, it quits without me realizing.
It's sad that they're not fixing it, and that eventually it probably won't work with newer Mac OS and iOS versions. I should start looking for a way to migrate off of it.
It makes me miss the shareware era, back before races to the bottom and free corporate giant competition had all but eliminated any kind of profit margin on simple, but thoughtfully designed and well-built software.
How many of us have had ideas for little utilities and such that were never followed through on because the chances of even breaking even on them was so low? I know I have several.
In the UK I've not been able to find high wattage (10-20W) LED lightbulbs with high CRI, some don't even mention it in listings, let alone SSI, which I have never seen.
Where are you seeing these? Is this industrial/commercial suppliers?
except chess is a solved problem given enough compute power. This caused people to split into two camps, those that knew it was inevitable, and those that were shocked
