Stack overflow brain rot escaping containment.

The author's absurd fantasy of how an LLM has to be used in order to fit their imagined adversary's idea of inevitable is absolute drivel. This article doesn't even build a straw man. It's just a pile of straw and manure.

If this is ever to be so, they will need to overcome the q angle to get there-

It is both a racist rightie conspiracy theory and a plausible possibility worthy of serious consideration. Any reasonable person needs to recognize it as both simultaneously and will have no trouble fitting in among anyone outside the fringe at either end of the political spectrum.

Give it a sample of your own technical writing and tell it to match the voice. I did this with Fable just today and it nailed it.

Holy astroturf

This reminds me of a series of recurring stories from the 2000s. These were decently mainstream stories in the media about the untimely demise of prominent microbiologists hinting at conspiracies involving deep knowledge they held in common that few others shared. I don't know if those stories faded or if I just stopped paying attention.

I recommend therapy in addition to not drinking for anyone who thinks eating a chocolate is drinking.

Can't wait to try some of the readers in this thread. I landed on inoreader not long after the Google reader died. The old reader wasn't doing what I needed back then. I've probably been using this a little too long without checking for what else is out there.

Same can be said of search engines, encyclopedias, or wikis compared to seeking out books, journals, and other source material. If you don't sit there for 8 hours in a library to find the same information on your own, you've missed out on the experience. It's a standard Luddite's argument. Tools of any kind that enhance efficiency have always actualized lazy outcomes. It has always been the human responsibility to, not only rely on their best effort, but to figure out what actually encompasses their best possible effort.

No one's in the same boat as meta. They've been out front leading the fleet all by themselves since their inception.

This article is garbage. I was half expecting or hoping for a nuanced analysis of regressions manifested in a specific leading model as a result of purported "upgrades" but instead found an idiot who doesn't understand how LLMs work or seem to even care, really.

Idiots like this seem to want a robot that does things for them instead of a raw tool that builds sometimes useful context, and the LLM peddlers are destroying their creations to oblige this insatiable contingent.

It's me. I'm the LM having work assigned to me that junior dev used to get. I'm actually just a highly proficient BA who has always almost read code, followed and understood news about software development here and on /. before, but generally avoided writing code out of sheer laziness. It's always been more convenient to find something easier and more lucrative in those moments if decision where I actually considered shifting to coding as my profession.

But here I am now. After filling in for lazy architects above me for 20 years while guiding developers to follow standards and build good habits and learning important lessons from talking to senior devs along the wa, guess what, I can magically do it myself now. The LM is the junior developer that I used to painstakingly explain the design to, and it screws it up half as much as the braindead and uncaring jr Dev used to. Maybe I'm not a typical case, but it shows a hint of where things might be going. This will only get easier as the tools become more capable and mature into something more reliable.

I'm 47. It has always been like this with resumes.

The visual experience is last on the list of things psychedelics are proven through clinical study to help with. Also, unless one of those objectives is to avoid the help psychedelics can provide, having clear objectives in life isn't a predictor of how helpful it will be. Finally, "contact with the spiritual universe it whatever" isn't even on the list things that actually help subjects in these studies.

Cool story, though.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the South Korean government is the storied tradition of physical confrontation in their parliament along with more than a few viral videos of brawls and such over the years. It used to be better in the US, but with the intensity of discord in our government lately, I don't think anyone really knows anymore.

The industry standard is draconian.

That "cut" happened before they even started working on the show. Despite the original thought of 5 seasons, it was essentially planned for 2 seasons right from the start.

Seems like the resulting attention on the repost makes for decent justification in this case. I'm glad to have seen this, and I don't like the idea of good content slipping through the cracks because of timing and circumstance.

That's not the opposite. It's different context.

Nah, he's not.

Indistinguishable to who?

I use it as a work main because it's a Microsoft ecosystem with Teams, ADO, SharePoint, etc., and I learned a very long time ago that there are consequences to shunning slices of the Microsoft ecosystem for preference. I spot legit little quality of life integrations occasionally, but on the balance, I have no idea if it has been worth it to deal with some of the bugs and occasionally terrible design decisions that come and go. It's, at least, nice to stay aware and be reminded that my persistently disdainful view of Microsoft over the years actually extends to the poor quality of their recent offerings. I still keep Firefox running for personal browsing. Is this stupid? Maybe. I cannot recommend it.

Bad psilocybin mushroom trips are similarly common as bad LSD trips.

Poignant, not really. Prescient, maybe.

The students were not petitioning to have him fired and were reportedly surprised with that outcome. The petition also seems to have circulated before the redo offer. This is on the uni.

Your preference is unnecessarily pedantic and logically reduces in specificity to the exact phrasing that peeves you.

As a child I was taught to count out 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand... I used a clock to set my cadence the same day that I received this instruction, and I've recalibrated a couple of times since. 5.25 first try. 5.44 second try.

Your definition of "really even close" is either absurd or you don't much care about the data nearly as much as the point you wanted to make.
