Product labels should prominently display the parent corporation. Whatever is the top of the chain of ownership.
LLM technology will never achieve 100% accuracy in its output. There is an inherent non-determinism. Tasks that require 100% accuracy cannot be handled by LLMs alone. If an LLM is used to replace HR, it will inevitably…

I do want styles tightly coupled to my React components. The product I work on has tens of thousands of React components. I don't want to have to update some random CSS file to change one component's appearance. I've…
Those technologies don't just solve tech issues, they solve organizational issues. If one or two people manage a website, going without fancy tooling is completely fine. When 1000 people are managing a product with…
> No one ever forced any company to work with China. "Forced" is a strong word here, but company's do need to compete or die. If your competitors are manufacturing in China and selling widgets at a price less than what…
If services offered a paid version that guaranteed privacy, such that I stay anonymous and only data points that are strictly necessary to provide the service are persisted in the company's servers, I would happily pay.…
I opened this, walked away from my computer, then came back and clicked on the Debian 18 link wondering how the hell did I miss 14-17
2-3x faster on getting the code written. Fully completing a coding task maybe only 20-30% faster, if we count chasing down requirements, reviews, waiting for CI to pass so I can merge etc.
I exclusively use the autocomplete in cursor. I hate reviewing huge chunks of llm code at one time. With the autocomplete, I’m in full control of the larger design and am able to quickly review each piece of llm code.…
Before LLMs I used whatever autocomplete tech came with VSCode and the plugins I used. Now with Cursor a lot of what the autocomplete did is replaced with LLM output, at much greater cost. Counting this in the "LLM…
I don't think that is what the original commenter was getting at. In your case, the company is actively choosing to make changes. Whether its for a good reason, or leads to a good outcome, is beside the point. LLMs…
When the government (or the public) starts asserting basic facts aren't true, scientists become activists against their will
I think this is the core of the issue for the Democra)ts. Conservative groups are focused on figuring out what actions are effective in gaining power and executing on that. They don't shy away from unethical methods…
In this example aren’t the two engines equally capable, with one being held back artificially? I think what the other commenter is getting at, is that if the manufacturer puts a 300hp engine in a car but limits it to…
In my opinion, a very generic question like that deserves a very generic answer, with a follow-up asking if that is what they had in mind. "An interface is roughly how a system is designed to be interacted with. A web…
I went from a 2016 intel MacBook Pro to an m1 and although the differences on paper looked like many other spec bumps, the actual experience felt like a paradigm shift. It’s the first time I owned a laptop that lacked…
I've worked in many different FE codebases with a variety of CSS "strategies". This sort of thing is objectively ugly and takes a minute to learn. The advantages of this approach I found is two-fold 1. You can be more…

To me the primary difference between the potential "copy" that exists in your brain and a potential "copy" that exists in the LLM, is that you can't make copies and distribute your brain to billions of people. If you…
