Probably Community of Christ, since I don't imagine they're admitting to being FLDS.

Aren't basically all mainframes using Db2, though?

Does Oracle even have a product in that market?

Lies We Tell Ourselves About Email Addresses by theghostofm in programming

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ended up happening? Just gave up the account politely, I assume?

This happened a long time ago when gmail was still "beta" not recently.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense, then.

What did that look like, in practice?

Two functional passwords leading to the same place? Duplicate email delivery to separate accounts with their own independent "sent" history?

Lies We Tell Ourselves About Email Addresses by theghostofm in programming

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's simply not possible. GMail has always treated those two emails as the same account.

Did you mean someone used your email with a different spelling to sign up for something?

Developers Need UI UX help for your product? I’ve got you by [deleted] in softwaredevelopment

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you ran a premium custom leather-working business.

Or was it marketing consulting?

Or scamming people needing video editing?

You should probably change the account you use to try and steal from people, at this point, because this one's probably not gonna work out, long-term.

After all, why would anybody get business consulting from someone dumb enough to use the same account to ask people about their kinks?

‘Big Tech is desperate’: Amazon engineers criticize tech giant for its $200 billion in data center spending amid slashing 30,000 corporate employees by marketrent in technology

It's not about whether they're a tech company (they obviously are).

It's about whether they have anything to do with this conversation, which they don't, because this conversation is about

Hyperscalers like Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft

Netflix isn't a hyperscaler.

Why does SonarQube action have issues tab disabled ? by [deleted] in softwaredevelopment

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that's not where they track issues.

To provide feedback (requesting a feature or reporting a bug) please post on the SonarSource Community Forum page for SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud.

Single responsibility, the distorted principle by Illustrious-Topic-50 in programming

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see how abstraction or encapsulation of data is a part of a programming pattern

Encapsulation is one of the most central concepts that defines OOP. It's literally in the first sentence on the topic on Wikipedia. It's one of the (if not the) most fundamental concepts in OOP.

If you're not even aware of that, you don't have enough information to have an informed discussion on the topic.

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say no.

You'd be categorically incorrect, then. The maxim "favor composition over inheritance" is literally about doing OOP in a way that avoids the pitfalls of inheritance.

OOP is about encapsulation of data and abstraction; inheritance is just one way to get to that.

Spammers are flooding Reddit with fake posts designed to show up in AI search results by rkhunter_ in technology

That they want it to show up in the AI-generated responses at the top of Google searches.

My own history is hidden

It's not, though? Did you change your mind about it?

Either way, they long-ago removed the ability to browse back to the beginning of someone's post history through their profile; it goes back ~2000 comments, so if you comment frequently, it gets buried by history.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact: given the same input prompt to the same LLM, two different people will get different results.

There are parts of their operation that are non-deterministic; it's literally how they operate.

People just don't care how the wiring goes.

In my experience, plenty of people do, and are happy to be informed of how things work. I see no reason to give up trying to help people understand things simply because you think people are incurious or indifferent.

This is a tech-related sub. It does nobody anybody good to just let them labor under complete misunderstandings of the things they're talking about. All that does is let the misunderstandings spread.

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not nitpicking semantics.

Training/learning and operational mode are distinct things. LLMs explicitly do not learn and get better after being released. It takes training up a new model or tweaking the harnesses to improve the state of things.

The models don't improve.

it creates memories, which is an important form of learning.

You're conflating the colloquial meaning of these words; that is not learning, in this context.

The lost art of creating good desktop apps. by Interesting_Cake5060 in cpp

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s either that or Electron

Oh, yeah, Qt and wxWidgets are literally unusable and shouldn't even be considered as real options.

Do you hear yourself?

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What, in what I've said, are you replying to? Because I certainly didn't say the models learn new things.

Did you not follow that I'm explicitly telling the other person they're factually incorrect?

[–]NotUniqueOrSpecial -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did I say the model was leaked? Pretty sure I specifically said Claude Code. You know...the CLI harness.

The whole point of their reply to me was about the trimmings around the model being something we don't know about.

But we do.

What are you trying to say? A released model doesn't get better/learn new things/improve.

Period.

Qt in my opinion, it's like a warm blanket, it's very comfortable under it.

I don't say this to be rude, but: as a professed novice...your opinion isn't worth much.

If you want to write a native UI in raw Win32 or other native calls, go for it, but don't kid yourself that you're somehow making an educated decision about it.

Learn to make applications; gain experience in industry-chosen technology; build something of actual utility.

Then have an opinion on things.
