I mean the answer is simple, money. There's a bajillion dollars getting shoved into this crap, and most of the bulls are themselves pushing some AI thing. Look at YC, pretty much everything they&…

That's the problem though, you're dependent on your company in order to not go bankrupt after your injury. If you get fired, you're screwed, if I get fired here in EU, it's not tha…

I did physical labour when I was younger in a tropical climate and in certain ways it's easier than my SWE job is now. There are days in SWE where I feel completely and utterly drained and brain …

Why does that bother you though? I couldn't care less about how others work as long as they're not actively detrimental to everyone else. Hell, the managerial and C-suites are the ones that…

This is a nice fantasy, it's just a shame we live in a world full of psychotic C-suites that would do anything and everything they could if it meant the magic line goes up half a percentage point…

Completely anecdotal I realize, but my experience so far has been that people who aren't in some way involved with AI/tech in general are mostly indifferent, with a vocal portion that is act…

> The difference is private companies that accumulate too much waste and useless things can fail and be replaced. Have we really already forgotten "Too big to fail"? It wasn't that l…

I'm a complete layman here, but what is the difference exactly?

I'm aware, I grew up on a farm growing potatoes (amongst other things). My point is, again, growing a few potatoes is very, very different to growing multiple field fulls of potatoes at an indust…

Perfect showcase of aforementioned city boy hubris, equating a small home garden with some trees to a modern day farming operation. Growing 100 potatoes is not even in the same stratosphere of complex…

You'd think all these companies would have a single good naming convention, amazingly they don't. I suspect it's half on purpose so they can nerf the models without anyone suspecting on…

In any moderately sized codebase it's basically useless indeed. Pretty much all the praise and hype I ever see is from people making todo-list-tier applications and shouting with excitement how t…

The only reason you have to do the IRS' job is because the "free market" you love so much spends obscene amounts of money buying out your government and making sure people have to use t…

Lol so much for the privacy-first Apple BS everyone keeps touting If they had any balls whatsoever they would've rejected this and pulled out of the UK, but of course money comes before anything …

Are we talking modded? Cause Vanilla minecraft runs on a potato, especially if the device is connecting to a server (aka doesn't have to do the server-side updates itself).

A high school teacher of mine didn't have a last name, only a first name. Problem was when she moved (from India) she had to have a last name because a bunch of systems and people assume a last n…

> > “It’s a difficult problem to solve because it’s so widespread,” said Daan Leijen, a researcher at Microsoft, who says the company avoids use of null values in its software. > Whatever Lei…

I never know whether to use the ć in my name when signing up for systems that require full legal names (banks et al.). Even my own country's gov't sites break when I input my real name, but …

At minimum filtering and sorting should be handled by the browser, including async for both of those. Pagination could be argued as well, but at least that's simple-ish to implement (but still, i…

I will forever curse whoever thought YAML was a good idea and spread it everywhere.

Lol are we already at the level of psychopathy to be considering not giving humans water because they're less efficient than an LLM?

Vue moved the exact opposite way, and in fact Svelte moved more towards Vue 3 and its composables/CompositionAPI.

I know a few people that don't have an official birth date. My brother in law is Papuan and no one in his village has an official birth year or date since they just don't keep track of it, s…

They're okay at best for getting the most generic possible vibe from a large piece of text. Actually relying on it to accurately summarize many points, it's completely useless. We have it en…

I am the furthest thing from an expert on this, but isn't the majority of natural CO2 capture done by Algae?

The people currently enjoying a bajillion dollars of investor funding say the tool making them a bajillion dollars has no end in sight, you don't say...

The white house is citing... Breitbart and the daily mail? The real kicker is the daily mail "articles" don't have a single solitary source of their own that they link to or even mentio…

There's an error right on your landing page [1] with the parsed document... It's supposed to say 234.1, not 234.4 https://www.llamaindex.ai/llamaparse …

The problem is the oblivious users who aren't tech savvy. Enable a feature like this by default for every user, and you've got a big chunk of people "using" it, which leads to some…
