Third sentence on the page:

> The image model I trained to filter out vandalism works very well, but it also hides a lot of ingenious drawings. You could see them if you’d activate the SHOW NON-HORSES setting, but most people do not.

> It's a way of finding out whether you might be promotable.

Heh, so, if I googled your company before interview, and able to quote marketing sentences about how this is the "Great people. Great challenges. Great opportunities. Groundbreaking technology." etc., only then I can expect a promotion in a future years?

Huh, for me its opposite, I`m ok with reading/fixing/updating few pages of code if its easy to read and easy to update.

Short code with multiple levels of abstractions, with dynamic inheritance, and with a lot of dependency inversion, etc. etc... I don't like it. I will spend a lot more time (probably) just digging into code while trying to understand it.

> its the US hiring Mercs in the form of Ukrainian proxies

or, its just a russian propaganda... Could you please next time start you comments with disclaimer "according to russian propaganda.."?

From your other comment:

> You also had Russians finding a lot of virus labs in ukraine etc.

You understand that no one except russian trolls believes in this lies? On second though I think even russian trolls do not believe in it..

You mean thats the USA that indirectly attacks China, Russia, Iran?
Naturally.
Wait, so its his fault that he did not pay Google more? "Just in case" money?

Re:Tesla Model 3 fault rate is the highest of any car: report on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @04:46AM (#38361529)
Yes, they mentioned this in article.

> According to DIGITIMES, the high Tesla Model 3 fault rate can be attributed to Tesla’s decision to cease defining service intervals in 2019. The limited availability of Tesla service centers is another key factor.

> Although the TÜV SÜD report is specific to Germany, Tesla’s lack of service centers is a global problem. Tesla currently has 186 service centers in the US. By comparison, there are almost 3,000 Ford service centers.

Re:Tesla Model 3 fault rate is the highest of any car: report on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @04:43AM (#38361510)
Looks like we read different reports. Thats not 221-car sample, thats 221 vehicle models. Models, not cars.

> TUV SUD is a Germany-headquartered company offering testing and certification services. It did 10.2 million times of regular testing on 221 vehicle models between July 2022 and June 2023.

I`m not OP, but I don't like posts like yours because they pretend that current status (not even status, your idea about current status) will never-ever change.

Of course there is a fluctuations, but I don't think that statistical value (per country) is meaningless.

Are you really sure? Does poor people or poor countries tend to grow significantly faster than developed one?

Re:Language Model UXes in 2027 on Thursday September 21, 2023 @03:14AM (#37594203)
Yes, I used chatGPT-4.

Second, your fix is to verify code generated by LLM and then play with it trying to find a way to fix it. I`m quite sure that I will spend less time and less mental power by writing code in the first place.

Third fix is to play with chatGPT more, and read more code generated by chatGPT trying to find errors in it.

What happened with "reading code written by someone else is harder than writing your own code"?

Re:Language Model UXes in 2027 on Wednesday September 20, 2023 @07:54AM (#37583070)
I know exactly why I don't want to use ChatGPT.

I love to write code, I love to modify existing code too.

I do not love to read and then fix code after someone all the time. With ChatGPT I have to read then understand then fix code after ChatGPT every time.

Also, I do not love to fix code that often contains hallucination.

Re:Linear code is more readable on Friday September 15, 2023 @03:21AM (#37519646)
I`m not OP, but yes, I saw.

Thats my personal opinion, and nothing more:

Something like complex one time financial/workflow/maintenance operation that includes calling dozens of different smaller functions, but very well structured.

It does not make sense to separate it more into different functions, because execution is generally linear and having to deal with tree of calls where some calls is depends on state of the previous is become cumbersome and makes reading and making changes more complex.

Again, thats my personal feeling, and nothing more.

Re:Stripe is no longer a suitable payment processor on Wednesday August 02, 2023 @06:02AM (#36968913)
because OP did not mention company name.

storys about horrible Stripe appears on HN quite regularly, in 92-95% times user do not want to mention company name because usually company a bit shady.

other 5-8% of issues are usually resolved by Stripe. which is also not good, because social media should not be used as support line, but looks like Stripe likes this way of doing things.

upd: user created a post and then leave it without any comments, which also do not look trustworthy.
