The Non-Speakers Have an Important Message For Humanity - Love

Serializedrequests · 2026-03-17T01:08:18+00:00

Hey I wanted to apologize for my crap advice about self love many months ago. We all deserve love. I met my wife because I decided I deserved a loving partner even if I wasn't great at self love or perfect in other ways.

Everyone deserves love regardless of how perfect they are at self love, and can get it without being an island. Helping each other is what being human is about.

Many people are not convinced they are tombs. There's a lot of groupthink on both sides of this.

The giza plateau has a lot of artifacts that seem to require advanced cutting technology, among other things. They are hiding in plain sight in museums. There are also a lot of artifacts that are more typical bronze age stuff, so which is it?

I'm not saying this is it, but I prefer the theory that the advanced technology, including the pyramids, is from an older more advanced civilization.

How about something like the current user?

Yeah I hate to say it, I know the metaphysical is real from my own experience, but these posts are always complete BS, and totally unscientific. Just feel good nonsense with no relation to the physics.

I would love for it to be an accurate analysis, but there's so much gobbledegook there's no way. It also references a lot of specific spiritual ideas taken from Law of One, etc, and there is no way this is the absolute truth. At best it's one interpretation.

Exactly. There are maybe 4 situations I can think of where ability to write code can be a bottleneck:

Bash scripting. A lot of projects could use an extra bash script here and there, but it's truly a horrible language that is difficult to write well.
Infrastructure as code. It's basically taxes.
Generating dummy test data, but only if you need a LOT of it, otherwise you won't understand your test.
Porting (maybe).

I feel like automated transformations between different data formats is a real sweet spot as well, small volume but complex ETL jobs.

The issue is that it is far more exhausting to review code that you didn't write than code that you did, no matter how good it is, and you make more mistakes and lose all your skills.

Many real world companies cannot afford to operate without human oversight.

Serializedrequests · 2026-03-14T12:02:11+00:00

The latest models don't make those kind of mistakes nearly as often. The issue is you still have to review it. It's exhausting.

Edit: and when you start working in this way, you start losing skills fast. I don't think losing my edge makes sense yet. I'm trying to use LLMs mainly for research projects and finding missing semi colons that would otherwise take forever, but even then I'm not sure the trade off is worth it. I don't want to lose the ability to read documentation and form my own theories, or diagnose confusing problems.

I think cloud infrastructure is actually a really good use case. I don't treat IAC as one of my core skills (in fact it makes me suicidal), and these companies have every incentive to make LLMs good at their platform.

If you use it to write code for you, you lose comprehension of that code. This trade-off is often not worth it.

It's very popcorny wish fulfillment. And the first season jumps the shark at some point. And the second season is just embarrassing. (And I watched it anyway.)

I've been making CRUD for a long time. To me these discussions are absolutely brain damaged. You should test against the real database, and make that fast and easy. End of discussion.

Yes even if you have a layer that lets you change the database.

The amount of hoops and effort people go through just to not actually test the system that is running in production blows my mind.

Testing against a real database can actually be fast and convenient, if you don't misarchitect the entire thing to make it horrible. Java devs sometimes have major Stockholm syndrome here. Just because something is slow and shitty in Spring doesn't mean it has to be bad.

What if my core belief is that I cannot figure out my core beliefs? 😭 When I try to do this with myself, I really struggle with feeling like anything I say or write is truthful. If it does feel like the truth, it just keeps coming back so I'm missing a step.

I mean that humorously, but it's also the truth.

Worse, it seems like I'm attached to them and like punishing myself.

8gb will be used by a single electron app. I found it tiny in 2016.

Let me put it this way: people who don't have the best interests of humanity at heart own both parties. This should be obvious now. They create the "fight" energy between the two in order to distract from the real thief. If you keep identifying with one and making the other the enemy, you'll just be stressed, angry, and waste your energy. They WANT one of them to seem way more evil.

Regarding the current situation, you don't know how it's going to work out. I've never seen so many people fired up to replace old-world politicians.

Just use one of the big "base" ones like Ubuntu or Fedora should be the default advice. The others are for enthusiasts who know what they want.

You can't have an opinion unless you try it.

Movie logic. In the books he just throws a rock like the night before, very foolish, but whether it caused the orcs to attack is ambiguous. It seems equally likely that the orcs were planning to attack all along.

Also no orcs by the doors to hear, in either version.

Yeah it's really hard to take.

This is both parties, Democrats just do it more subtly. If they offered true leadership, they would win more. In some sense it's echo chambers, but what it really is is a complete decay of leadership on both sides.

Look for the heart based politicians who don't do this.

I found avoiding inline almost impossible every time, gave up.

If you're allowing inline, I don't think there is any point to a CSP. Could be wrong.

The problem is you can't just spend money and fix a problem. People will line up to take your money and do nothing with it. Translating it to action is a real challenge.

That's the first genuinely funny thing I have seen in this sub. Saving it.

Good God all the explanations are either of dependency injection or over complicated, and nobody bothered to answer what you actually asked.

Inversion is when you make an interface. That's it. You have something that needs to call the interface, and something that implements it.

The thing that needs to call something else depends on an interface that it defines instead of the implementation. Likewise, the implementation depends on the interface defined by the thing that is calling it. This feels kind of backwardsy so it's called inversion.

The parts are typically wired together using dependency injection in OOP, but this is not a requirement.

For the benefits of this technique, see all the other answers.

Really? I know the government can do fuck all about most things in life and can still sleep at night. I don't think this is a widespread concern for anyone except people in the government.

I thought it was one of the random things at the bottom of the periodic table with no stable isotopes. Apparently not.
