That's true and fair, and re-reading OP it doesn't address hallucinations exactly either. I was more thinking of it as a toy example for non-tech folk (grandma?) to see that what and how you ask LLMs matters in how the…
Not that I've had to deal with this specifically, but I have noticed how the input phrasing in my prompts pushes the LLM in different directions. I've just tried a quick test with `duck.ai` on gpt 4o-mini with: A: Why…
MkDocs with the Material for MkDocs theme has reasonable blogging support, and a dockerized image for building. It also has some other features like footnotes, mermaid diagrams, and "code annotations" for code blocks.…
MkDocs with the "Material for MkDocs" theme and it has a docker based builder image if you want a one-line isolated build command. Mostly pure Markdown with opt-in syntax extensions for fancy things like card grids or…
Wow, I'm impressed how grumpy one can seem in a few short sentences. Take an upvote for that alone. GP has a certain - admittedly orthogonal - point. At what point does "just two coffees per month" translate into "too…
I don't see a comment here for MkDocs, so I'll mention it. It was started as a pet project for development knowledge, specifically migrating to local Docker-powered development environments. Initially that was all it…
Individual Contributor and Performance Improvement Plan
As a British expat living in Asia, I was heavily amused to read this passage in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age: There was lengthy discourse between the two men on which of them was more honored to be in the company…
I'm resistant to GraphQL, although I take the caveat that I was also initially resistant to JSX and CSS-in-JS and my thinking has since evolved. My two main annoyances are a) GraphQL could be thought of as a custom…
Not a moral problem? Humanist? Why can't we have nice things and do this out of simple human empathy for those who suffer?
I don't necessarily disagree with this - I've often felt like the criteria used to make software development decisions should be more empirical (YAGNI etc, schemas, contracts - not the whole formal specification bucket,…
I was born 17.09.1990, exactly a year off. I grew up with Linux and am eternally grateful to the "scene" surrounding the magazine CDs with - I don't know - like 17 distros packed in together and endless tutorials on…
You're quite right - I have some trouble with "modal" popup windows and the Atlassian Single Sign On in particular with the temporary extensions tab. But I eventually figured out to copy and paste those URLs and…
Ask and ye shall receive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... I use this in combination with "normal" containers and it works a treat
I've struggled with this personally at our company. A sibling comment mentioned a README for each project/process. That's definitely a solid start for building this up from nothing. Copy open source project README…
Without diving into the ins-and-outs of this, my current contract contains a claim like this. Well outside the US, and the UK/EU - it's in South East Asia. It says something like "on company equipment" and/or…
I just had to look up that claim, and it seems that Turing admitted a homosexual relationship during a police investigation about his house being burgled, seeing as that relationship was with the accused burglar. That's…
I see what you mean, but I suspect the author might be referring to the Russian disinformation campaign to favour Republicans. I see it just as an example - obviously it can be adapted in either direction, or both just…
They are particularly horrendous..I've had the misfortune to work with government-provided PDFs using custom font glyphs in lieu of proper encodings. In some cases this was the only way to encode particular…
Ah, crikey. It's always tricky to defend a position against a well-reasoned critique, but I'll try ;) 1) I typed a few answers to this, but I'll simplify. No, it isn't OK. But (please, please understand this is sort of…
Now, I actually find this a reasonable way to phrase their position: > "We respect the fact that for those of us in the United States, we live in a democratic republic in which the public elects our officials and they…
A couple of random addendums (although these aren't necessarily what you'd use day to day) git diff --color-moved (seriously, read through the man page for git diff sometime) git log -p --all -- <path/to/file> (I use…
Just in case this strikes anyone as dismissive, I too sincerely miss the old, beige keyboards that used to come with things like the old IBM, Tiny, MiTac, and Amiga brands I scavenged as a teenager. And those things…
We've had one, and we're not halfway to the next one. I'm amused to some degree that the idea of another referendum is anathema to some, but the idea of a third election in (almost) as many years is somehow a better…
Screw it, let's wade into this one briefly (because I've searched and nobody has mentioned this as far as I can see): I currently live in South East Asia, the land of palm-oil-plantations-as-far-as-you-can-see, and it's…
