The B.S. part is satire. Credentialism is dumb. I write code for a living.

Ok I'm done. You all are completely ridiculous about this topic and I'm not participating anymore.

If Dolly taught us anything, it's that a woman can get a large boob job and still maintain her dignity in her old age.

There is the White House. There are also green houses. Are there any other color houses?

So the "zero-day exploit" with the whole hugging face incident was that you can name the directories on Artifactory?

One interesting thing about LLM expansion is what timeframe is expected for general internet things to happen. 5 years ago, if your API took more than 200ms to respond it was worthless. 200ms was pushing it. Now we are waiting several seconds, sometimes minutes even, for a response. And as LLM things spread that timeframe is spreading too.

Why don't we see any large birth marks anymore? I seem to recall seeing many people with them when I was younger.

The truth is: we don’t know, what we don’t know. Because we rarely, if ever, talk about male victims of sexual abuse, we assume such people don’t exist. And so, we don’t know that the worst campaign of child abuse in British history, exclusively targeted boys. We don’t know that the most prolific rapists in British (perhaps even world) legal history, exclusively targeted men and boys. We don’t know, because such stories rarely make the news, and even rarer still do they cause the mass outrage that drives historic change. The most haunting example of this public apathy, is happening right now...

I'm nearly convinced that the difference between the pro LLM coding agents and anti LLM coding agents is how those people think. And I mean this seriously. I've met people who can easily describe, in English, what a program/application does. I can write these programs with some ease. But when someone comes up and asks me what my code does, I tend to freeze, and I'm like "will this bit a of code does the... uhh thing, and that thing calls this other thing". The code works perfectly as desired, but I have a hard time bringing that back into the English language to describe it to another human. I think all the vibe coders out there are the opposite of me. Those who were great at describing what they want in human language but struggled to get it into code.

I appreciate the option to snooze topics @X, but please let me do it forever. I'm getting tired of clicking this.

I've not yet seen an LLM that is good at asking clarifying questions. This is seem like low hanging fruit. What happens now- Me: how much is my Honda Civic worth? LLM: here are several paragraphs that go over the value of Honda Civics of different years, and a couple more paragraphs about how damage can effect the value. What I want- Me: how much is my Honda Civic worth? LLM: What year is it? Me: 2019 LLM: Any damage? Me: no it's in good condition LLM: then it's between X-Y dollars.

Hey @tesla, I recently lost my '25 M3 in a catastrophic hail event. I had purchased the lifetime FSD package for $8,000. I got to use it for less than a year. My insurance has refused to cover the cost of the FSD package. I would like to purchase a new tesla, but I can't really justify it if I'm just out $8,000 with no way to even partially recover it. Would @tesla be willing to do anything to make this right? Let me transfer the FSD membership to another tesla? Provide at least a partial refund? Provide credit in the form of several months of an FSD subscription?

This feels strongly like it's being astroturfed. Tons of popular accounts have the exact same opinion with zero evidence offered.
This guy torpedoed his whole career just so he could get the whole world to read a porn fanfic he wrote about his boss Not the hero we asked for, but the hero we deserve

I really hate how so many apps ask you to turn push notifications back on every time you open the app. Like no bitch, I turned 'em off for a reason. Quit asking.

Here's the opener for the Firefly remake. Enter theme song ... "you can't take the sky from me" then the as the Serenity is landing a missile blows it out of the sky. Cut to the one who launched the missile: "No but I can take you from the sky".
