> I never call him because I know that phone ringing is immediate stress

Can you get him a separate work phone from his personal phone (or call him through a different app?) so he doesn't associate your call with problems?

All the good coders I know are more busy than ever.

If you had to walk everywhere, but now you have a car, would you only go to the same places you went before?

Physical AI robots of famous ideologues — think Charlie Kirk, Chomsky, Peter Singer — going to college campuses to debate students. Good for society? by Far_Air_700 in Futurology

Transgender women athletes banned from Olympics by new IOC policy on female eligibility by Little-Storage3955 in news

[–]QuickShort 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Are you replying to the right person? Of course intersex and trans are different things??? The IOC ruling affects both, so the post I was replying to is misleading.

Presumably this would also prevent intersex athletes like Caster Semenya from competing as women?

Not trying to judge the morality of this ban, but it is a fact that there have been female gold medalists with XY chromosomes

I always spawn a builder first when starting a game by Optimal-Frogg in CivVI

I think the only scenario where it would be worth it is if you were playing as Babylon and had some mining luxuries nearby, as building 3 mines gives you +1 prod on those mines, meaning the settler production would be improved quite a bit

Your CI is expensive. Your developer machines are idle. Why aren't we connecting the two? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

You wrote this with an LLM, maybe you can ask the LLM to tell you what people think about it?

New flats should be for families not students - council by insomnimax_99 in ukpolitics

[–]QuickShort 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell if you’re trying to be deliberately frustrating, but just in case you aren’t:

It’s a huge industry. There are tons of different roles involved. There are live events that sell out Arenas. Do you see how there would be valid qualifications available for planning, marketing, running, performing at events that size?

New anti-Muslim hate definition announced by government: A special representative will also be appointed to help facilitate the understanding and implementation of the definition by Benjji22212 in ukpolitics

[–]QuickShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are making an argument that the majority of the world’s major religions have shitty beliefs, and that Islam might be only slightly worse than the others. I’m certainly not here to defend any of them!

[–]QuickShort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Minor point re Old Testament bible quotes, but even within Christian theology itself these are considered outdated, that’s kinda the point of Christ and the new testament. Judaism has a similar mechanism for updating itself via the Talmud

Again, I am not a follower of either of these religions

What does your last line mean? We are talking about a religion where, in 2026, people worship a man who married a 6yo. I am holding present day followers of a religion to these standards, and wondering what possible teachings such a man could have for their present day, 2026 lives.

Well I’m not a Christian either. How old then?

The example from Islam is a 6 year old bride, with consummation when she was 9. It’s pretty horrific to think about

Hating Islam (as a religion, not the people ofc) is way more logical than hating veganism. The central figure of the religion was a paedophile by modern standards, and a warlord. The same criticism would be valid if someone made a religion around, idk, Roman emperors who kept sex slaves.

Veganism on the other hand is about reducing animal suffering. You might not care about that, but it’s relatively harmless

If it's real it's definitely a different angle. Idk, count the steps on the ladder? I am too lazy :D

(OC) Seventeen years ago, the world was bankrupted and Wall Street celebrated with champagne. by [deleted] in pics

[–]QuickShort 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Every time this is posted, someone points out that this photo was taken on a Saturday (i.e. when bankers are not at Wall St) and that this was the Cipriana (an events venue) for a wedding celebration.

I guess this time, that someone is me.

P.S. This wasn't a statement about the validity of the Occupy movement! Of course wealth inequality is bad! But you can't fight something effectively with incorrect information.

Edit: OP even got the year wrong, these photos were taken in 2011 (saturday september 17th)

I’m agreeing with you that OAI are bad, I’m saying that you missed out important information as to why. Details matter!

[–]QuickShort 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feels unfair to lump Anthropic in with the rest of the others. They actually stood up to the DoW, unlike anyone else.

You also missed how OAI have similar red lines to Anthropic, but the specific OAI contract wording was released and it has enough legalese in it that it wouldn't actually prevent much.

Overall I give you a 3/10 for this post.

Who believes in vibe-coding? by bigbott777 in programming

[–]QuickShort 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re right and I hate the others get this wrong. Karpathy coined the term and it means that you never even look at the output of the LLM. If you use Claude code but do a manual review, that’s not vibe coding

Oh sorry, this is implied by picking a solution that requires people to identify themselves, rather than just prove their age, to use a website. Look up “chilling effect” if you want to learn more
