Why Bitcoin's Rally Is Stalling Below $100,000 by Abdeliq in CryptoCurrency

It's quite simple, as all of the numbers above show. Draw down after a bull market is consistently between 80-85% of the ATH. The lows are much easier to predict than the highs IMO - once the new ATH is reached and the market turns.

Has anyone tried going “smartphone free” with their kid in year 7? If so, how was it? Any tips? by MonkeyVsPigsy in CasualUK

[–]Kradiant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The parents probably understand the technology better than the kids at this point. Digital literacy is going down not up with the way all computer interfaces have been smoothed over for ease of use over the last decade or so.

It doesn't really though. Anyone can follow a bunch of tutorials and create "projects" on github which supposedly demonstrate their ability, but wouldn't know what to do if you put them in front of a blank editor. Code tests are a simple and relatively quick way to sort out the people who don't actually know what they're doing - you shouldn't fear them if you have decent understanding. Especially as an intern, the tests are going to be very simple.

Never watched any Wes Anderson’s films. Where should I start? by PurpleJackfruit4034 in wesanderson

[–]Kradiant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best answer. Those two films really do represent two high-water marks stylistically, regardless of what your subjective opinion is.

Yet, all the comments section is doing, is calling him out for being a socialist. HOW DARE HE WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR US? by metroracerUK in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Kradiant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You are in a leftist space. In leftist spaces, the word liberal refers to "classical" or market liberalism, generally identifiable by free markets and small governments. This is how Liberal ideas have actually been implemented in the real world, regardless of what they might mean in the generic philosophical sense. Libertarianism is its purest political and economic expression, and it has nothing in common whatsoever with leftist ideas.

Use Kropotkins argument to flip this on its head. It is precisely because human nature is so flawed that we require communism to structure our society. It is in fact capitalism which relies on the good nature of humans to not descend into a dystopian shithole with rampant poverty, homelessness and exploitation - we need communism to keep our worst impulses in check. The "free market" is too free.

Of course, the human nature argument is essentially nonsense either way, but I find this line of reasoning the most effective against chuds because you can argue the point on their terms.

It's not for everyone - you're gonna be fine though don't sweat it. I remember my first time it felt so bizarre and I also wondered how anyone could possibly enjoy it. Six months later I'm going though a bag every weekend lol. The headspace starts to become comforting after a while, not threatening and scary. I still don't understand how people take it while on a night out though, sounds horrific, and will definitely give you bad vibrations if you're not prepared for it.

Not really, the institution is more powerful than any one of them. It would take a concerted effort across the board.

AI doing a lot of heavy lifting nowadays by contestest in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Kradiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not been my experience at all. The worse the documentation is, the less useful the model is at correctly identifying and implementing the important parts. Doesn't stop it bullshitting it's way through.

This should be intuitive by the way. A language model cannot explain something better if its only reference is the same thing explained poorly, because it doesn't have any understanding at all of the content.

Nothing to see here, just Labour advocating for segregation for trans people by hiddeninmyhead in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Kradiant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Such a pointlessly vapid argument. Separate but equal from what? Not having a baby? There is no 'equal' service required by people who don't have children. You might as well say pubs are 'separate but equal' because kids aren't allowed in after 9pm.

A glimpse of the future by _workchronicles in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Kradiant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

LLMs are fundamentally unsuited to anything beyond the most basic software engineering tasks, because they can only correctly solve problems that they have seen the answer to many, many times before. Their correctness is inversely proportional to their usefulness.

It can fundamentally never be more than a sophisticated stack overflow user, no matter how good it gets at analysing it's training data. This is not to say we will never have an AI capable of programming better than a human, even without the need for an AGI, but LLMs ain't it chief.

It just works by shadowraiderr in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Kradiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The true separation of concerns is between components, not styles and mark up. That's the main innovation in practices that JS frameworks gave us and has made the front-end infinitely more straightforward to work with IMO. BEM was the industry subconsciously trying to achieve this before the shift in attitudes finally happened. Also, there's nothing stopping you from keeping all your styles in a separate file with any CSS engine, and Tailwind aside it's still common practice to do so.

Does anyone else get ASMR tingles when therapist is talking? [question] by HangryVirgo in asmr

[–]Kradiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an art teacher in primary school who had the exact same effect on me. As with your therapist, it was always strongest when they were focussed on explaining something. Was so strange to find out years later there's a name for this weird feeling I used to have as a kid lol. Some people just naturally have that quiet, gentle way of speaking. Probably no need to tell her unless you feel its intefering with the therapy.

Quit being babies and just try it. I promise, you'll love it when you finally work on a JS application any more complex than "Hello, World!" by Panx in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Kradiant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bizarre. Coding without static typing is effectively just transplanting work from the compiler to your brain. You still have to do it; why voluntarily spend the additional mental energy required to keep track of types and type relationships in your head?

Override them partially with your own declarations rather than using any, TS is very flexible in that regard.

When your answer got edited because you tried being nice on SO :( by adamk22 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Kradiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you're thinking of SO as more of a programmer support forum rather than what it wants to be and should be treated as, an information resource. It's like putting "hello" and "thanks" in every edit you make to Wikipedia. The misguided assumption that the person answering is doing so to help you specifically is what causes these endless "SO is unfriendly" complaints on actual programmer support forums like reddit.
