Amen.

Stop providing distractions to the assholes around me, they are dangerous enough as it is.

If you know what you’re doing, no. If you don’t know what you are doing, yes.

The difference is the knowledge you gain from traditional learning and experience.

Blocked.

I agree that books are much better resources to learn in a structured way. This builds a solid foundation where you can then use LLMs to fill the boring gaps.

You’re doing it right, using it as a tool to learn.

I’m doing the same to get a handle on Python. I question the steps, compare it with other sources, and try to get comfortable coding it myself. I then use it to review my code, and get further insights.

It’s a tool. Just another tool.

Oo-er!

These are some of the most pragmatic engineers out there. They don’t pick up any new tool just because it’s trendy. I’m old enough to have watched Torvalds create Git virtually overnight because the kernel devs hated Bitbucket.

If they can work with LLMs, they must have found some use case for it.

From my limited experience, it can be a good help to point out flaws in my code, not so much at generating what I want it to do.

Layer 8 issue.

As someone looking from outside, it feels like a lot of this could be minimized if the US fixed their electoral system.

It’s an arcane system that makes the votes of the middle states more valuable than the outer states. Which means deeply conservative states get to say who runs the country.

So you end up with a religion driven police state, fueled by technofeudalism. Not unlike the regimes you keep overthrowing.

Being the guy who had to feed the whole 32 floppy disk stack to the wretched PC every time the user broke the Windows 95 installation pushed me to the *nix camp quite early, I can tell you that.

Each floppy had a good 10% chance of being faulty, so imagine the fun.

I reached the 200000km mark when parking at home. How dull is that?

Good article detailing what to expect when dealing with these automated blackholes.

Reminded me of some of the trouble I went through when I operated a live email server. Getting out of those lists is hell.

I saw the trailer. I’m down for some sword fighting, horse riding, dragon riding. What throws me off is the train. Why is there a train there?

Jeez, I didn’t meant it as women vs men. I meant it as any cool new tech first gets flaunted by the rich and powerful for some vain, narcissistic purpose.

You know what’s going to happen, don’t you? This tech will first be incorporated into a blindingly shiny dress of a B-class starlet at next year’s Oscar’s red carpet.

I hope they enjoy Farscape, because that’s what they’re getting of they eavesdrop me.

Dishonored.

I’m having a lot of fun sneaking around.

Dishonored.

You’re clearly upset with the leadership of your country. How does piracy change anything?

When you live in society, you should obey the laws OR fight to change them. Pirating stuff is a weak form of protest.
