>the idea that an algorithm using matrix operations as a primitive cannot emulate "true" intelligence I did not say that. Not even close. In the words of Claude: I’ll end the conversation here. <end_conversation>
I'm not. But I'll concede you are possibly more literate - I won't dox myself on this account. Congratulations. If you honestly argue that LLM computation and human cognition are equivalent there is no further argument…
Yes, in the same way I like to kill the enemies in DOOM. It's matrix multiplication. Absurd.
Claude (Opus 4.8) recently told me: >I’d ask you to drop the abuse; (...) if it continues I’ll end the conversation. After I'd used a couple of expletives. And yes it will emit a <end_conversation> token. This is truly…
We'll be out of work whilst bailing out these companies with printed money and another round of inflation. The middle class will cease to exist. But hey the stock market will show higher numbers so its all good.

What happens if you build a bridge and it breaks? These people want to play god with our lives but at the same time move fast and break things. Look at software quality anywhere, it's a mess and only about to get much…
No personal attacks please. They're just cogs in the machine. The organization and process that enables it to get to this point is the problem. And that is MS, always has been.
To be fair, that makes it worse for MS, not better. This should not be vibe-coded by someone who has absolutely no idea about any of these things.
>a project manager vibe-coded the change without thinking it through at all The PMs vibe-coding and having no idea what they're doing isn't even the main issue (although it is pretty bad). The main issue is: how are the…
Unironically yes. I predict that costs will grow to 80% of what it would cost a human, across the board for everything AI can do. "It's still cheaper than a human" they'll say. Loudly here on HN too. Of course this will…
So? Everyone is saying to just look at the LLM outputs for PRs etc. and just ignore how it was created. We should apply that standard right here too. This is Anthropics initial response, which they walked back ONLY…
Having just worked my behind off for the last months to deliver on an impossible deadline, successfully: more bodies definitely would have helped. Even just to keep the fluff off my back and to allow me to fully…
I'm not going to review it in full, sorry. Reviewing is so much more effort compared to producing something with AI. But don't let me deter you, keep on learning and keep on building. I wish I had the possibilities to…

I got a major reprimand because I answered too many questions posted in the public channel. All in my area of expertise, mostly after hours. At first they said it was "great". But it soon turned sour and resulted in "it…
Lots of people haven't had to actually restore their data. Somehow it has good marketing. I used it for a while and was not impressed. Random Python errors, requires too much scripting, and at least on my data terrible…
Don't ever travel, never change anything related to billing except to update your cards before they expire. Don't change your name, email adresses or lose access to your phone number, and as we know now also don't ask…

I've seen plenty of both. I've added one good example in my other comment. But it certainly depends on the community and programming language as to how serious licensing is treated. But yes, many people are not…
The easiest way to do it is to add your own copyright line above the original LICENSE copyright line. That way anyone touching the project can just add their own line on top. Done. EDIT: Example:…
No! Once you change the copyright line, you no longer include "the above copyright notice". At that point you're violating the license. You are also not allowed to change the copyright notice or license text in any way…
I was briefly diagnosed with "99.9% sure it's cancer" before it turned out to be benign. Say about 2-3 weeks. In those few weeks my main regrets were a) not having done many of the things on my bucket list, and b) not…
