Re:AI Doesn't Reduce Work–It Intensifies It on Sunday February 15, 2026 @07:16AM (#47023115)
the system is built in a way that you need to run in order to stay still. you cant just "work less" because you will not have stability this way. new slaves using new shiny tools will work more and more and outcompete you in whatever domain you are working. so you will be forced to work more, to learn more in order just to keep your current lifestyle.

without basic morality and gov regulation capitalism would exploit humans like cattle. 996 should be outlawed everywhere

Do you feel that you are at least as productive as a "regular" developer working a normal amount of hours? In terms of the quality and quantity of features you have shipped.

In the first ten years? Maybe. After that, it might become mainstream.
Re:Blocking LLM crawlers, without JavaScript on Sunday November 16, 2025 @06:13AM (#45944209)
- If LLM knows about your content, people don't really need to visit your site - LLM crawlers can be pretty aggressive and eat up a lot of traffic - Google will not suggest its misleading "summaries" from its search for your site - Some people just hate LLMs that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is insane to think this in 2025 unless you define "reasoning" as some mechanical information lookup. This thinking (ironically) degrades the meaning of reasoning and of intelligence in general.
But LLMs still can't reason... in a reasonable sense. No matter how you look at it, it is still a statistical model that guesses next word, it doesn't think/reason per se.

Ironically, they are not happy because they are not smart enough to find happiness ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OpenAPI also has examples and auth. But, like Postman, it is tied to your service, not some 3rd party.

If only tasteful minority will complain - they will soon shrink into tasteful micro-minority. Complaining is still a useful feedback (half the time)

skill issue

game just trying to tell that brute force solution might not work. use tools, use specific charms, use crests that are better suited for specific arena/boss. some tools (such as spiked traps) can literally one shot most mobs and leave you 1v1 with a boss.

dont give up, use your brain, hacker

Re:RFC 8594: The Sunset HTTP Header Field on Thursday August 28, 2025 @03:35PM (#45056143)
Why do libraries such as Requests or HTTPX not support this out of the box? It would be really useful to have automatic warning or sentry event after deprecation response.

I understand that this functionality can be easily added as a plugin, but not everyone is aware that such a thing even exists. With default support, it will be easier to upgrade to new API versions and keep stuff up to date.

Every solvable problem is solved by using known information, patterns, context, etc. We (and LLMs) are using some model of the universe and trying to coordinate it in a way that will help us solve some task. The difference between us and "old" LLMs is that we can generate new information/patterns/etc., immediately add it to our model, and use it to solve more complex problems. New LLMs such as o1-o3 are also capable of thinking over and over again and producing new information (in the current context) and trying to apply it to the current task that might not be solvable with just the information that it was trained on.

(This is my understanding, I’m not ml engineer)

Russia is big country and it needs lots of men to defend it on all its borders, which means that the forces they can use for invasion are limited. RN it looks like that they run out of soldiers, and Ukraine already started counter attacks on some fronts, so I guess "they will win" will not happen any time soon.

In the app you can use free practice mode to restore hearts.
This is the kind of feature that can burn servers :) Especially at telegram scale

compare price of labor between usa and india. Outsourcing everything to asia will be beneficial for company (and probably consumers since lower prices), but not for americans who work for cuban rn
Re:Professor suspended for saying 那个 nà ge on Monday September 07, 2020 @06:25AM (#24398336)
It didn't disappear. I still constantly hear and see in the internet usage of негр, нига or нигер (transliteration of the n-word). But the meaning always depends on the context, most of the time it is neutral - just referring to a black person, sometimes negative - infamous S.L. Jackson phrase "что этот ниггер себе позволяет", and sometimes positive: "нига, как дела" - can be equivalents to "what's up, bro", it's rarely used as joke-greeting. Local blacks don't seem to mind when someone call them this way, because it rarely has negative connotations.
Are you trying to reinvent 4chan?

He probably meant "more spicier". Second image for "now one with stripped this time please" yielded image that is linked to article about deep-fake nudes.
Re:What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility? on Sunday March 29, 2020 @08:54AM (#22718588)
J++ already exists. And so is -90 degree rotation (U++). The only variation that left is ∩++. But I think that 🅱️++ is better. It is modern looking and with hint that language took step backward from original in order to be more simplistic.
Re:Poetry: Dependency Management for Python on Monday August 12, 2019 @10:31AM (#20675731)
Same. Plus script to automatically freeze dependencies into requirements.txt after each `pip install/update/uninstall`.
