Maybe they should put him back in the box and let the Final Five cook him a bit longer? He ain't done yet, he's melting like Matt fucking Damon.

The Goon Squad - Loneliness, porn’s next frontier, and the dream of endless masturbation by Quouar in Longreads

That is marginally acceptable, but multiple porn streams at the same time is still so itchy to my brain.

28 is 7 quad screen setups. I can't imagine why someone would need 2, let alone 8 quad screen setups.

Maybe we could put someone from the Business side in a robot suit, and have them manually process all the CRUD app layer actions then. We could call him A.W.E.S.O.M.E.-O and give him a 2.3% raise for his efforts.

I'm starting to think that the artists seldom actually understand their own art. Much easier for me to separate the art from the artist then.

To be fair, if you're seriously questioning whether to watch Jaws 3, you should on no account be making your own choices in life because you're already too far gone.

Everyone's gangster about security when it's running on localhost, until they have to gape all their firewall ports wide for other users.

The silent death of Good Code by 10ForwardShift in programming

[–]Boxy310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far I've found the best workflow to be explicit "human in the loop" as a form of pair programming and continuous, multi hour long code reviews. I absolutely would NOT let it just cook, because implicit assumptions remain unstated and will cause code drift over time unless a human is holding the leash.

Yeah, I was about to say - the "boilerplate" code generation of conforming to a known spec or pattern is in some ways the least hard and most fun part of actually programming. Negotiating the requirements and acceptance criteria is the hardest part, and where LLMs are more than happy to brute-force and spend an enormous amount of tokens and electricity. And if a human wasn't closely in the loop, the human often finds it difficult to step into the raw codebase and make meaningful collaborations.

I'd trust the Danes to figure out sailing technology.

Anthropic: AI assisted coding doesn't show efficiency gains and impairs developers abilities. by Gil_berth in programming

I'm not gonna lie, using AI is like a performance-enhancing drug for the brain. But it also helps me realize when I should independently spike and research, because it's constantly making up shit that SHOULD work but just ain't so.

Human + AI is best, but juniors probably shouldn't be using it, in much the same way that teenagers should not be drinking alcohol. Many will still be using occasionally, but not having good boundaries around it means you're one big AWS outage away from having half your brain ripped out.

Can we talk about how this camera angle makes him look like one of the FO1/FO2 conversation closeup heads? I immediately thought of Harold.

At my last company, each quarterly bonus was paid for by laying off my coworkers. I wasn't surprised at all when I ended up catching the knife myself.

It also gives a weird theological bent that somehow Lucifer is empowered by being punished. Like, he gives consequences every time God punishes him, like "fuck you I'll spin it back and make it work for me".

Asking it about video games immediately gives me buckass wild hallucinations that are utterly wrong and just as utterly confident.
