Try counting by imagining fingers in your head and talking at the same time. (-;

It leads to friction and required follow up extra work, as explained in the article.

Just make it a uuid or some other kind of random a-z0-9 string to avoid all this whimsy and nuisance?

This sounds like voodoo.

As a European, both the idea of taking a loan for a useless degree and the idea of considering this loan you took out of your own free will as an adult as some kind of evil and malicious thing you shouldn‘t have to pay back are extremely bizarre to me.

As a teenager, I tried to get addicted to cigarettes so I could stand by the cool kids and smoke with them. I started smoking 4-6 cigarettes a day but hated it so much, I couldn't continue after a week or two...

My brain never liked vertical video, shortform content and AI slop.

Is my brain different or am I just a grumpy millenial hipster?

Mark Zuckerberg‘s and Meta’s incompetence should have been recognized after the metaverse debacle.

They were lucky with the ad empire he built and that‘s it.

They certainly went easy on his demonic looks.

I think the cool kids call this "staying away from the vector space of highly skilled security engineers".

Completely different results as LLM is non-deterministic.

You'd need to produce this like 20 times by each model and then do 2x20x20 cross comparisons by both models and ultimately distill the 2x20x20 comparison results into two reports of how they differ.

In this non deterministic computing future, everything else is voodoo, feelings and "vibes".

This slot machine has access to your bank account and can decide how much to play on its own!

It's really bad when you let opus do investigations on broken java or infrastructure stuff. It starts decompiling .jar, sometimes multiple versions of the same dependency, reading every single kubernetes/terraform file and loading all the logs and info kubectl offers.

I am still quite confused on the scientific consensus:

Should we double down on renewable energy and solve its issues with lots of batteries or should we invest in next generation nuclear energy?

Both at the same time?

Does anyone know?

This actually makes a lot of sense, it's testing the luck of the candidate through the rng feeding the LLM. You wouldn't want to hire unlucky employees after all! Hiring managers of the past would solve this by throwing every second resume in the trash, now this is a built in feature of ATS.

Welcome to the cyberpunk future.

I know people who married after meeting thanks to facebook dating.

Ours got fired for failing to sell the company…

I always only consider that once it's too late.

I have a free 4 node kubernetes cluster running there for quite a while now.

Even 2 nodes is still generous.

Can I make the acceptable thing "Roquefort" and name "Roquefort" as first acceptable thing?

I love breaking games with meta tactics.

specialized hosting

What do you mean?

My private next.js fullstack slop runs dockerized on my kubernetes cluster and for auth I use auth0, because I am too lazy to run keycloak or whatever dockerized auth slop is currently en vogue.

It would actually be good for us…

I never understood why software engineers were so excited about open source and teaching everyone to code.

Why aren‘t we more like doctors or lawyers?

Modern web/frontend devs do NOT understand whole page navigating form POST calls from a pre JS era.

No one left who could fix anything here by hand. Being able to handcraft compelling desktop apps and their plumbing is not a marketable skill anymore.

Mythos, Fable, please do the thing with the VM. Make no mistakes.

There is ALWAYS a need to scale up, upgrade versions, migrate from one database or scheme to another, cut services into more microservices, melt them back into a monolith, integrate more stuff, deprecate other stuff, fix bugs, increase performance, tune caches…

Some things happen for reasons that make sense, others are done for the sake of it. The PO‘s of front end features need to evolve them. What do you do with a PO who says this is done? They don‘t have visibility, don’t get promoted and they don‘t get a bonus. We have created a dashboard that shows that A/B tested users like the new design more by 7%! The next redesign is already planned!

Is that why there are billions dollars wasted in useless Microsoft subscriptions and services?

Microsoft is still simply one of the very best at enterprise dealmaking.

Anthropic is getting here too.

I almost exclusively use claude for all my professional and private needs. In my experience it's really good at adhering to my wishes in regards to sycophancy and pushing back. If you really want to you can tell it to systematically push back on anything where pushback makes sense until it continues with the flow of conversation.

In my first therapy session, the answers were too long and contained multiple questions, spawning multiple threads of conversation. I told it to tone it down and only ever ask one question back, maybe two, if they are related. The answers got too short. I told it to make them "slightly longer" again and reached a sweet spot.

The conversation is yours to form! You need to find the "system prompts" and guidelines to give it that work for you.

Guild Wars was one of the most fun games ever. The crazy combinations of skills you could try in the random arena were so much fun.

Guild Wars 2 and most other games are pure slop.

Slightly strawberry flavored fiber sponges.
