Agreed, the US Supreme Court is entirely responsible if they receive more ridicule than respect these days.

So certain lawsuits won’t be possible anymore because advertisers don’t like to be associated with that kind of content?

[Your smartphone knows when] the phone is charging

Out of all the things that someone tried to scare me into worrying about that must be one of the most ridiculous.

The real questions is if that would make their statements be closer or further from reality. Historically they have been pretty good at talking about things that had very little relationship with reality already.

Even without that track record, that was always going to happen. There is a reason why most privacy advocates consider the mere creation of centralized lists of aggregated data like that a very bad idea.

One other comment pointed me at one issue that might be a major difference. Is the code you generate in one of those ultra-verbose languages like Java where we had basically IDEs generating code from much shorter descriptions already 20 years ago? I could see LLMs doing well with those.

I tend to try to generate code mostly in Rust or sometimes shell or config files or DSL for various programs and 99% of the time the code does not even come close to what I wanted it to do, mainly because it just hallucinates itself some library interfaces that do not exist.

I don’t know, asshole is a job that requires a lot of creativity in screwing people over.

Snapchat still exists?

Yeah, but “some cases” is extremely vague. If it is indeed cached indefinitely under all circumstances I would expect changed passwords to never work at all.

If it is just “some cases” it could be anything from the system using a stale cache just when it can not reach the online server (reasonable) over caches still being in some kind of TTL period to some sort of bug.

So if I understand that correctly that cache is never updated again after it is initially created? Wouldn’t that lead to a lot of issues when the online account has its password changed in terms of the new password not working too? Something seems to be missing from this article.

Arriving soon on the hyperloop.

it won’t look the way you expect it to when someone opens it up in Adobe which their company definitely has.

That sounds like a problem between them and Adobe tbh

On political topics it is very likely that we just gain a few hundred more repetitions of the same arguments that were already going in circles before.

I wouldn’t but only because there are already too many of them and they take up too much space…on the other hand if they could be pasted and then deleted again after use that might have some applications.

Well, okay, I can see how it would be useful in languages like Java that are extremely verbose and have a low expressiveness. Writing Java pretty much was already IDEs with code generation 20 years or so ago because nobody wants to write so much boilerplate by hand.

So you are saying up to 100% of all Windows code is Mac code?

Reading code is usually orders of magnitude slower than writing code. Sure, typing might be slower than reading but to check if it is what you intended you have to understand it too.

So you are saying up to 100% of their code is written by AI?

It is exactly the opposite, with simple, predictable auto-complete you didn’t have to worry about that anymore, with LLMs you always have to look at it in detail because every little thing could be just plain completely different and wrong.

I experimented with quite a few local LLMs too and granted, some perform a lot better than others, but they all have the same major issues. They don’t get smarter, they just produce the same nonsense faster (or rather often it feels like they are just more verbose about the same nonsense).
