Thanks to this crap, the world is being flooded with awful, unmaintainable code, and the thing is, the LLMs that build it promptly forget everything about it as soon as you move on to the next task. Fixing this garbage will be an unending nightmare.

I interview juniors regularly. I can’t wait until the first time I interview a “vibe coder” who thinks they’re a developer, but can’t even tell me what a race condition is or the difference between synchronous and asynchronous execution.

That’s going to be a red letter day, lemme tell ya.

The human brain has had no time at all to evolve resistance against manipulation by large language models that “talk” convincingly like a deeply effusive person. That means there are some people who are legitimately endangered by them.

This shit’s going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better.

Is that a win for Google, though? They make most of their money from AdSense, because websites want to display ads. If people aren’t clicking through to websites from their search results, that seems like fewer opportunities to display ads, reducing the viability of AdSense.

I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the “peace” president).

A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won’t do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.

The barely-disguised vitriol in this article is disgusting. Hope “vanished?” Fuck off, CNN. Mamdani represents hope.

And they’re right about all of that except the AI equals LLMs thing, but that’s forgivable because the LLM hustlers have managed to make the terms synonymous in most people’s minds through a massive marketing effort.

Ask her to read the links from her ChatGPT queries with you. Do it together. Show her how ChatGPT is confidently and convincingly lying to her. And each time she comes back with another result from a biased prompt, do it again. Eventually she’ll at least stop trying to convince you that ChatGPT knows all, out of embarrassment.

The name is actually set in a law, hence this lawsuit: https://washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/new-lawsuit-challenges-illegal-renaming-of-the-kennedy-center/

What I really want conservatives to contend with is the fact that cutting the size of the federal workforce this way has done LITERALLY NONE of the things they always insist shrinking the government will accomplish.

• It has not reduced prices. In fact, those are way up.
• It has not reduced taxes on the middle and lower classes. In fact, those are up too (while taxes on the ultra-wealthy continue to drop).
• It has not made government services more efficient. In fact, those are now substantially shittier.
• It has not made health care less expensive.
• It has not made unemployment go down (obviously).
• It has not made the private sector step in where government services falter.

Everything is more expensive and less efficient now. Small government does not equal good government.

Conservatives, this is what happens when you elect people who will actually follow through on the batshit insane garbage you’ve always wanted. You own this mess.

Hmmm. The NVMe standard has existed since 2011, and Samsung released their first commercially-available drive with it in 2013. So Microsoft has had at least 12 years to make nvmedisk.sys the standard driver for these disks.

Unless you know your history and recognize that every single time one of these fantasies takes over the economy, the failure to actually, y’know, be a profitable business ultimately dooms it.

I wonder what it’s like being an investor in one of these companies. You’re watching them shovel mountains of money into the AI furnace, with literally no profit to show for it, but the stock keeps going up. What’s your “get out before the whole thing collapses” number? I mean, there must be some voice at the back of your mind going, “This is unsustainable.”

Tech bros and their sycophants have started saying things like “the old rules don’t apply anymore.” That also happened in 2007-2008. That also happened just before the dotcom bubble burst. That happens before every pie-in-the-sky idea that takes over the economy but has no actual plan for profitability finally burns out.

So what’s your get-out number, investor guys?

You use his work and derivatives of it every day.

Holy shit, I can literally just copy and paste the text?!?

Loads fine for me. Maybe their servers were taking a beating when you tried?

I’ve been somewhat avoiding the news (for my sanity), but I have heard that some of the PDFs turned out to be badly redacted and the original text is accessible programmatically. Do you happen to have a link to one? I’m a developer and have worked with PDFs extensively in the past. I’d love to delve into one and un-redacted it.

If I won that, my very first thought would be, “I have to get rid of most of this as soon as humanly possible.”

I like that you called it poison because all options are bad, but I prefer the one I consider the least bad: Angular.

His main mistake is that the child in question is Eric.
