Anecdotal, but putting in $10 and using it through codex, I blew through it in maybe 30 min to an hour of a light test drive and didn't get my little task done, which certainly didn't seem like any sort of token burning operation. I honestly wouldn't mind trying it more, but it didn't impress me enough to put more into it.

I also put $10 into DeepSeek when v4 came out and (checks) still have $6.30 in there and have gotten so much more use out of it.

I'm just hearing about this attack on Checkmarx.

We recently adopted it at work, and I find the thing to just produce garbage. I've never tuned out noise so quickly.

you have to appreciate the irony of a thing that's supposed to help protect you from vulnerabilities being one.

Those dependencies pretty quickly reveal themselves to be complicated and heavy. I wouldn’t blame Rust for that. I rarely need more than what workspaces and VCS based deps give me, but when I have, putting up and using a non-official registryis pretty easy.

How strange to come across someone whose medical stuff so mirrors my own. I was just a decade older and don’t have epilepsy symptoms with meds. I can get behind all the advice here. Running out of “juice” and needing a break is very much thing. Before too but more so now. And taking a lot of semi stream of consciousness notes to help my more limited memory is too.

I had one neighbor with the announcement thing but they eventually turned it off. No illusions that it’s not still recording. But how horribly hostile to have that on, right? No accounting for taste, I guess. I’ll continue staying off nextdoor and the rest and keeping my camera feeds to myself…

Though it doesn’t mention it by name exactly, I think a related idea for systems that are optimized close to a point of phase change is “the edge of chaos”

Or we’ll just leave them behind and that’s fine. And I work day maintaining old stuff of varying quality. Conceptually, software composting.

I agree. I think we can reasonably posit why given the source. Call it selective YIMBYism maybe?

There are thermostats, among other things, that use standard protocols and still work in a “dumb” way if not connected. You just need to do some homework.

As someone with damage to my visual cortex with a very specific effect I’m very curious what this would come up with for me. Not something useful on its own, but more understanding means more possibilities for treatments.

At least motorcycles have ABS and decent stopping power, though usually less than a car.

A lot of people see software as a list of features, hardware as a list of specs. But when you think about how much time we spend with these things, maybe they just aren’t that utilitarian. We think of buildings not just as volumes of conditioned air — but also as something architected, as something that can have a profound effect on how you feel, something that can have value in itself (historical buildings and such).

I know it’s easy to throw stones from the outside, but Google’s results are so compromised it seems like it’s a good time to get back in.

As one just example, I searched for a unique error message in code that exists on GitHub, is in a fairly popular repo, and is not new and Google just could not find it. That seems like a very basic failure.

I think people will bring their baggage with them ‘into their rich life’ as any major life change doesn’t really get you away from yourself. I certainly do okay staying lonely in a single house in a single city.

You can do approximately that with GitHub Copilot already: Write a comment and have Copilot write the function or what have you to match.

How is it annoying? To be fair, we’re fronting our gRPC service with a AWS LB that terminates TLS (so our gRPC is plaintext), so we don’t deal with certs as direct dependencies of our server.

I’m not sure what the significance of the length of loans is? Surely it’s the overall amount of interest that matters.

I probably wouldn’t want to be paying a loan at the point I would want to be trading something in — but even then I keep things more than even 84 months and you can always just pay it off.

Agree separating the interface and implementation is not a great idea. It seems like a decision that's designed to waste time (in copying definitions from one place to another, in compilation errors).

It's half the reason to dislike C/C++'s module... err, text inclusion system. The other half being horrible build systems/times.

The only way it'd be halfway reasonable is if there was very good editor support for syncing the two copies. And even then, what's the point of denormalizing your source code? Like you said, you can always generate docs from source or an interface file from source (if for some reason you were building a closed source module -- which seems very much not the norm these days).

As someone who is in the middle of pulling apart a BTRFS volume by hand (read: writing code to interpret the data structures) to try and recover it, I think being burnt enough is once.

No indication of any hardware issue: No recent power loss (& it's on a UPS), no SMART issues, no memory test positives. But the block tree (at least, WIP) is f*cked across all the disks (looks like two competing writers went at it) and none of the available tools can deal with it.

It wasn't a super exotic setup either: RAID10 with 4 disks (2 stripes), fairly full and regular snapshots/cleanup, but that's it.

I already converted my root to ext4 because paranoia and I'm probably going to move bulk data (what can be recovered) to ZFS.

I mean, they livestreamed the rollout on YouTube on the Edward’s AFB YouTube channel and said it was at NG’s Palmdale facility (paraphrasing). I’m not sure any of this was a secret…

I’ve done this with libclang: parsing C++ with clang.cindex in Python, walking the AST for structs with the right annotation, and generating code to serialize/deserialize. All integrated into a build system so the dependency links are there. Obviously being built into the language would be way better, but if I was spending 90% of my time I would take any necessary steps.

Please don’t do whataboutism. Your comment divides and derails the conversation and assumes the worst of the people here who might have a problem with Elon’s behavior (that they also want people to get assaulted because of their political views).

The “speed is safety” bit is probably a lot more obvious to motorcyclists but applies to everyone on the road, even if the situations are less likely. Imagine some road eager tries to pit maneuver you but you’re able to accelerate away and they miss. Or you’re not able, and you end up dead.

I hope the people who designed/developed do not have clean consciouses.

No one is suggesting anyone take the first image out of a model without any human-based filtering.

I'm kind of disappointed that the EFF never issued a correction or retraction for this claim.

What kind of correction or retraction would you be looking for? That is explicitly Twitter policy[1].

Trump may have eventually crossed a line. That doesn't mean his line was in the same place as other people's.

I was half expecting this to have gyro controls so you could look like a madman while "arm looking".

Really neat, in any case.

Yeah, I agree with this. Building an actually “wholesome”, “positive” and “opposite of divisive” social media would be an enormous good.

The problem is that no one has a good reason to believe it can be done because it has not yet been. At least with rockets and cars, the physics are there to back you up. You also have the problem of it being Elon, and… does anyone think he’d be the guy to choose to fix a social problem? Certainly I would not be and I am also on the spectrum. Then you have the evidence that, he’s fcking firing or burning all these Twitter employees, many of which likely did* want to make an legit good (defined by the above) social media service, regardless of whether they were “woke” or not (avoiding that charged language).

If I rewound a bit and he did get more sleep/get better advice & advisors/took things a little slower and tried to integrate with the company or at least communicate a coherent vision, I could see this having gone differently. It did not…

Heck no.

I actually looked up to him before he started going downhill in the last few years. I thought, “Maybe I would work for SpaceX for a few year as long as I had a plan to get out.” I knew it would be hard but possibly rewarding enough. But after it seems like he sort of crystallized (at least publicly) on work culture (no WFH, people must be hardcore), frankly toxic personality (lashing out on Twitter, etc), and seemingly not knowing what the hell he is doing (incredibly naive views on running a social media platform and moderation, managing Twitter via fear and his own paranoia — firing people who disagree), I would not touch a job with him anywhere in chain or close to it.

I have to wonder if something happened to the guy or if he was always like this. Like, we’ve seen a few famous people go from themselves to essentially an evil caricature of themselves recently. Not that they weren’t somewhat objectionable (to me) before, but the objectionable bits got cranked up 100x. Trump, Kanye come to mind. Kanye obviously has some health issues. Is it mental health? Just getting older? Some sort of conservative/paranoia-fueled “mind virus”? That sounds silly, but there’s such a pattern and resemblance to “having your parents get stuck on conservative news” which is so common.

For what it's worth, you can do similar to "add -p" in VSC by using "Next Change" to scroll through a file in the diff view and adding hunks with individually with "Stage Selected Ranges".

It's a little slower than "add -p" but serviceable. Having editable diff in the diff view is really nice though.

An apothecary is a person -- or an establishment where such a person works -- not a garden. Odd use of the word.
