Exactly. I envision this future too. But we'll come back to a divide in what we call software engineering vs. software development as a whole lot becomes more trades level work outside of a few specialized areas.…
Tell it that. Seriously. "Shut the fuck up and do what I say. Don't think about it. Don't go spelunking through the code base. I've already given you all the context you need." I've needed to start doing this because…
The key phrases I've found that help is to tell it "No memorializing decisions in output artifacts" and "Only describe what is, never what was in documentation"
I'd argue that Star Trek: Lower Decks flirts with this with its treatment of megalomaniac AIs in the AI prison. Apparently, it is very common to come across AIs worshiped as gods in universe.
Likely has to do with how the ancient PACER system works with the formatting being stripped and thus the content revealed and mega obvious.
A company I used to work at has a CEO/Founder just like that. He's a sad sack of shit. Got up on stage at the company christmas party drunk to sing karaoke and noticed not enough people were paying attention to him, so…
Even more extreme than that, if you were working on a large code base where compiling it took forever, or you needed to rely on a very slow CI pipeline, it became very important to git gud and write shit that worked…
I've been that engineer and with good reason. That obscure edge case which rarely comes up in production is very disruptive when it does come up. The product person waving it off is also not the one that will get paged…
Robots struggle with syntax-in-syntax. Really easy to confuse them when asking it to write a SQL query that targets a JSON column but it must respond with a JSON envelope so the harness can parse the result. Lots of…
How can we opt-out of these tests? The behavior foibles I've been experiencing over the past month might be directly attributable to these experiments! It can be extreme frustrating. I don't want to be in the beta…
> However, for some reason, both Gemini and ChatGPT tend to argue with me The trick here is: "Be succinct. No commentary." And sometimes a healthy dose of expressing frustration or anger (cursing, berating, threatening)…
I work for a fintech. We're currently building agents to manage basic human labor tasks that are time consuming (think: initial credit analysis, initial web research for AML, etc.). Chatbots are a waste of the actual…
Do you have an iGPU+dGPU combo like in a gaming laptop? For my 2019 gaming laptop with a i915+RTX2060, if I leave the switchable option on in the hardware settings (meaning the OS can choose which GPU to use ie. iGPU…

I'll take an eclectic bunch of weirdos who all do and like cool shit over the corpo conformist normies any day. Super easy to suss out who is who when you first meet them. Just ask what they like to do when they aren't…
This is common in the southwestern part of the US too. My partner and her friends she grew up with will have conversations that fluidly pick phrases and vocab from either Spanish or English depending on what words…
I'm generally in favor. My taxes provide an amazing experience here. I have never seen the abject poverty that I've seen in other places (such as the US) here in NL. Great infrastructure, labor laws, culture and arts,…
More like yolo deploys without proper scaffolding in place to handle SHTF. Also, if your red-button takes 40 minutes and deploys to mitigate anything, it isn't a red-button.
It's difficult to do but demonstrably possible. That's why it is hard to consider any non-willpower solution. And why it is very easy to be consumed by ego if you've done it. I used to be in the militant-willpower camp…
Adipocytes live like 10 years[0]. You need to maintain for a long time for those cells to die off. Otherwise, it is easy to regain. [0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipocyte#Cell_turnover
Really good times on k5 all those many moons ago. It is weird to consider how ephemeral these internet communities are in the end.
This was some out there singularity fiction back in the day with some really vivid imagery including being raped by a zombie, skinning the protagonist alive and dumping a mound of fire ants on them, and some incest. I…
As an immigrant from the US to NL, and having lived here over a decade and a half, the author's observation is pretty spot on. There are broad differences between the Dutch and Germans (stereotypically, they both like…
That split second before a throw resolves is a slice of time where you can observe what your opponent is throwing, and change yours at the very last moment.
Urban Terror low gravity CTF was an amazing game. So incredibly satisfying to get the jump just right to swoop up the enemy flag, and make the jump back to capture. I loaded it up some time ago and it was mostly a ghost…
