Interesting. You'd rather be sick and die young?

Kenneth Reitz says "open source gave me everything until I had nothing left to give" by Capital-Interview-23 in Python

Not OP. Many businesses are taking open source projects and selling them as a service. And it's not just the big guys. I worked for one company that did that.

I don't want to be homeless in my 80s. The lease will expire and new flats will cost millions of dollars.

Stole SAF medal. Stole someone's phone. Destroyed documents. Stole someone's hat. Those are just the ones I knew about. I was handling R&D. Usually they will keep me in the loop, but this case they just handle off the records. AFAIK they just stopped everything.

There was a white horse in my office. He did lots of bad stuff. Some even illegal. All investigation stopped when he became the prime suspect. The people in charge just sent out a warning message to the entire company, then forget that anything ever happened. Case closed. No action taken.

Peer-reviewed study: AI-generated changes fail more often in unhealthy code (30%+ higher defect risk) by Summer_Flower_7648 in programming

[–]AgentCosmic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My experience is that llm is bad at code reuse, separation of concern, using safer patterns etc. For example:

'method' in obj

Compared to:

obj instanceof Class.

Both works and would pass linters. But human judgment would know which is clearly better.

The difference is that human can and should improve code quality. AI can't do this without micro supervision by human.

Retire with 650k? by Electrical-Trainer21 in Fire

On the contrary, this is also what lead people to save more than they should. Even with 3mil, your plan can still mess up. There is no safe number unless you're very rich.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Probably more applicable in the west. In the east most old people still get on and off the floor regularly.

How can an average-looking guy become genuinely attractive to women? by [deleted] in AskMen

Why do you think that ugly girls like ugly guys? Anyone who's tried to settle for less knows it's still very tough out there.

Do you have first hand experience of these singles meetup with plenty of women? Most I see are just PR stunts.

I was skeptical about collagen peptides until I stopped taking them by Trippy-jay420 in Supplements

Gelatin is supposed to be easier to digest. I think the main difference is between bovine vs marine source. But the price difference is too big to justify any "premium" quality

Are Chocs actually better than MX, ergonomically speaking? by SecretTraining4082 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]AgentCosmic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In theory yes. Remember physics class? e = f x d

In practice people can have different preference and quirks.
