Repple (she/her)

Thats a pretty good attitude. I have unfortunately been forced to use as much as possible for work for over a year. On the one hand Claude opus 4.6 is really a massive improvement to what I was using at the beginning of last year, which is honestly a scary trajectory.

On the other, I still don’t have any trust at all for production code as I see far too many errors. I can pump out rapid prototypes way faster than before, (and I was always very very fast at that) but I learn less from them. I still feel like using the LLM is like stealing from the future. For the most part I need to do the actual work eventually, understanding the code takes as long as writing it, and fixing takes longer.

Where I find it really useful is exploratory. It errors a lot but has compressed essentially the whole of human writing, so I can ask about approaches to specific problems and find apis and techniques I wouldn’t necessarily have found before. It still hallucinates an api more than once a day for me, but as long as you check it that’s something.

I still don’t think the revolution is here. It only feels like it could be because it’s been subsidized to hell and back, and I am terrified of the human cost: insane data center use, the economic toll of bubble popping (which of course will be felt by the masses), all the layoffs, and what happens to humans when we offset thinking rather than just memory to computers. There’s gonna be a lot of pain in the coming years

Took a look at /r/Conservative. The overwhelming stance I saw there is that it’s a terrible thing but he’s still better than any Democrat

My fucking favorite part of the early tng seasons. More men need to rock the skant. Props to boims for trying to keep it alive (also great that lower decks made it canonical that it was still an option at that time)

You say that like it’s a bad thing. There’s a bunch of two parters I like better than most the movies. Add in a bigger budget and that sounds amazing to me.

Same. There’s reduction in workforce, pressure to move faster, and no good way to do that without sloppiness. I have never been this down on the industry before; it was never great, but now it’s terrible.

Yes. It’s also cheaper

The remote models are but the on-device ones were trained by apple

That’s ridiculous. If anyone is anyone’s dependent, I am the dependent of my vibrators, not the other way around

I’d prefer pigeons. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/pigeons-can-spot-breast-cancer-medical-images-180957323/

Yep. LLMs are exceptionally good at picking up the biases in the formation of your questions and running with it. Super annoying

Is that true? My system and everyone I know who has one all work fine with the grid goes down. I lose 220v outlets but I only have a couple things on that.

What? The term FUD has been around since at least the 90s, though I think significantly older than that

Yeah, they covered jt. IIRC federation medical tech couldn’t do a transplant from any crew member but the Vidiians altered the immunogenicity of… something and to them anyone in the room was compatible for donation.

Well, we know Ocampa were capable of living longer thanks to that other group with susperia (was that her name?). Maybe they just died of cellular boredom what with being underground the whole time without a regeneration and entertainment chamber. Maybe space adventures were more fun so he stayed alive?

Swap Stargate sg-2 with Babylon 6 and this is right on the money for me

Grok probably recommends it when prompted for something completely innocuous

Wow! Head performance!! That brings me back. RIP, Oolong

If nunneries are as gay as I always imagined in my head, I’m in.

Exactly what I don’t want from a car. I want fewer features implemented better, higher build quality, and zero connectivity.

Yeah, the definition was terrible. From what we know, it seems he actually would have perjured himself had he said he did have sexual relations with her. I don’t see how you could interpret that definition any other way. Still a fucking creep, though
