I think you either didn't read my response or missed the point. No matter if the LLM output is useful or not, the learning outcome is hugely impacted. Negatively. It's like copying on your homework assignments. Looks…
> I would read the official documentation of each db, forums, blog posts, stackoverflow entries, etc. It was time consuming on the searching side. The time it took to read all the sources was fine for me (it's learning…
Software is rarely "done", so is quite naturally always an evolving experiment of sorts.
> Worse, they spend the time while writing, while latex allows for separation of tasks, I theory, yes. And that's also what I'm usually trying to do. What I have observed though with Latex folks is that they type 3…
You're right, the phrasing was not ideal. The point stands though.
> It's really the same problem as with math in school in general ("whatever is this even useful for?") That argument is a strawman whenever it comes up because it applies to every subject. High jump? Napoleon wars?…
And you didn't have the mental capacity to abstract from the colored balls to whatever application domain you were interested in? Does everything have to come pre-digested for students so they don't have to do their own…
The situation is not as black-and-white as you paint it. English is an ambiguous language. It's a "no op" in the sense that there is the possibility that they ship an app update in which the crypto is comprimised. Fair,…
I see where you are coming from, and overtesting is a thing, but I really believe that the baseline of quality of all software out there is terrible. We are just so used to it and it's been normalized. But there is…
I have sympathies for this argument, though it boils down to trust. Even if you roll your own client, you still need to trust some things outside of your control, be it your build environment, your phone, whatever. But…
If you read it again then you will notice that I didn't claim anything about everyone, only about myself. No strawmen please. But I was asking for other issues, and you have not actually provided any?
Perfect is the main enemy of good. I rather use Signal to escape the big tech clown show than wait for another decade for the perfect tech to come along, meanwhile either not communicating with anybody or using the…
For example?
> Signal's privacy terms were last updated in 2018. We are in 2025 now. It is unimaginable for any operational organization not to update their terms for 7 years. As a privacy-concious user, I always get suspicious…
Um, Whatsapp does that too?! Maybe there is a way to use it without a phone number, but the most common use is to have a phone number on some sign / store front with a Whatsapp symbol next to it. In many countries…
So you don't go vote in elections either? Because "if you dont have a way to move masses, it does not matter."
240 hours sounds excessive. Where is "here"?
Brutal counter take: If AI tooling makes you so much better, then you started very low. In contrast, if you are already insanely productive in creative ways others can hardly achieve then chances are, AI tools don't…
Moving goal posts? This was a response to the claim that AIs are the new code.
> I think broadly speaking, software has not changed much at such a fundamental level for 70 years. I love Andrej, but come on. Writing essentially punch cards 70 years ago, writing C 40 years ago and writing Go or…
Um that article is not at all about what I expected. It solves a particular problem, which is not having a static IP address. I happen to have one, so that's not an issue. But I still have so much to consider when doing…
So it's "just" a storage optimization?
I challenge you to go to China and ask people to make fun of you if you are unable to correctly pronounce half their words. Not because of stupidity but because of a mix of not hearing the subtle difference ("but that's…
I'm not sure I get the premise of the article. I know what a CRDT is and how homomorphic encryption works. But why do both parties have to be online at the same time to sync? They could send the updates asynchronously,…
And thats why you guys are working with computers and not people, cause that's pretty rude. What they are doing is only rude if they are aware that it annoys people. You response is rude nonetheless since it's a version…
