Spending enough time drinking the kool aid means I know at least 3 ways to use registers to avoid that, and practically end up using none of them

Because you're trying to 'copy' it?

This feels baby-duck-y. No given mental model is more right than another. There's already not even a consistent model, because:

Cut is copy and delete

So copy and delete! Or, in Vim and Emacs, just delete!

Cycling is also a marketing ploy, since it makes it sound more like a PED and less like a compound found naturally in meat. It's the same reason people say they 'take' whey, when Miss Muffet simply ate it.

I think the best thing people can do is update their firmware then disconnect it from the internet.

We don't need treats this badly.

'desktop Linux' is a term used when the majority of Linux users don't support your argument.

Even so, I fully expect that after this debacle MS will disable this stuff.

Isn't the debacle over? MS know about this by now. What's stopping them from killing it today?

A late resolution is barely a resolution at all. None of this functionality needs new Windows features.

It all comes back to this. I pay for the network, I'm liable for it: I decide what comes through it.

You live in a better paying country than me. You work harder than me. You've worked for longer than me. You've saved less than me.

Suboptimal use of the opportunities available to you is the kinder option here.

Stop reading sci-fi, it's hurting you.

I can't comment on nushell, but a CLI shell that uses frequent capitalisation and the 2nd furthest printable character from the home row in every 'verb' is just hilarious.

My team got cut in half at the end of last year and we've probably increased our output by 25% primarily due to LLMs. Personally it's probably doubled my productivity.

Love to see worker unity in action.

I can context switch between two or three chats

I'm finding this is a skill which I'm slowwwwwwly improving but, for now, my level means I tend to miss mistakes I'd notice if just working on one task. I also had to make accommodations to the way I work to make it achievable, including telling my employer that a 500 GiB disk just isn't enough any more when I need multiple builds in parallel.

I hate how popular lowering & spacer mods are for performance cars, you're just adding bump steer.

I don't think we, as common engineers, can absolve ourselves of all blame. For a time we were in incredible demand and all we've made of it is: some people earned enough to retire early, buy nice cars, or start their own business.

But that demand could have been turned into real power. Now it's too late.

Your life would be more cushy if you didn't hang around in suboptimal jobs.

doh!

It's a(n IMO weak) argument raised when discussing illegal files/numbers.

This project makes clear the counter-argument: the input that gets you the file out of π is a badly compressed version of the file.

One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal

conjectured

Glad to see one of my pet points of pedantry come up. No non-constructed irrational number has never been proven to be normal or disjunctive.

It is, and it's a famous and popular blog too. Lots of older submissions have been highly upvoted here.

I think it's incredible how much those ancient brains can successfully adapt to technology. Some people can sit in highly-strung sports cars and use them at the absolute limit of their performance like they're just an extension of our own limbs and senses.

I partly agree, depending on what you count as the basics. I don't think there's much value in learning the quirks of LLMs today: they will just change, your value-add becomes part of the model or harness.

On the other hand I think there are real development gains in jumping on the train today. To my career's detriment.

Right-over-left, left-over-right,

Makes a knot both tidy and tight.

I think I'd find this harder to remember than the principle.

Merely leading to the upending of the political structure of most countries.

(perhaps guide them how they can use them professionally)

If that's anything like how they guided me to use programming languages professionally...

In my workplace I find systems and policies move too slowly to keep up with how rapidly the LLM world is changing. Colleges are even more glacial. They've barely adapted to video conferencing.

I love this book. Before anything else it's a pleasure to read: it's funny, touching, and the constant referring to the poem at its core forces literary engagement - even if it's only to notice where Kinbote is bending the truth. It also scratches a metafictional itch that has now become a huge trend in modern media...

...but I find it suffers in criticism for a different trend: that everything has a 'gotcha'. While I accept that there is no sensible reading where the narrator is entirely reliable, I reject that there is an evocative reading using the Shadean theory referenced in footnote 2.

Sometimes this is given as 'Shade wrote the whole book'. I have no time for that. You don't need a character who writes Pale Fire on index cards: that's just Nabokov. And what would it mean if this Shade writes a heartfelt canto about his own loss, then the interpretation that cruelly misses the topic?

Sometimes it's given that Kinbote is a dissociative identity of Shade. I see this as an interpretation that minimised the impact of the text to maximise the self-satisfaction of the reader. Read through the book with it in mind and you find yourself asking what's the point of it all. In line 62's explanation, Kinbote reads 'hal.....s' as 'hallucinations'. If Kinbote is a real character within the story, that's a joke between Nabokov and the reader. With this theory it's nothing. Kinbote's writings make up the bulk of what you read. It's much more interesting to do so if you choose believe there's a point to them.

Spoilers done

I had a similar experience reading interpretations of Lolita, with the added problem of takes that over-correct and signal against the subject and wider public perception.

Counter-anecdote: I've played a game where the developer included a bug that gave other players arbitrary code execution on my PC and left it online while fixing the bug. I've never launched it since and had owned it less than 48 hours. Steam rejected my refund.

Times would have been much more 'interesting' - for better or worse - had the LLM movement occurred during the zero interest-rate era.

No. When I left a job using Mercurial, I made a vow never to start a job that used it again. And that employer was seeking to move on from it.

It originally hails from the trivium: the grammar, logic and rhetoric taught to beginner students.

Why do you want us to think you don't know what a negative externality is? Do you usually find that you benefit from people thinking you're unworldly?
