They're complicit. You don't fire a boss because some people don't like them, you fire a boss when you don't like them.

What a state of affairs we're in...

Agree completely! The people saying "LLMs don't produce good code" are using prompts like "build a feature that does X, Y and Z"

Good prompting with current-quality LLMs needs to look like "create a function that take in params A and B and produces an output of C"

It's still faster than hand writing the code since the agent will refactor as it goes and break things down into manageable, small functions, but you have to tell it to do that.

Almost 7 thousand people bought one?! That's crazy, it was a meme product!

My first thought was "holding a dick" then I went to these memes

It's just like sports betting but your surprise is the interest rate!

Legislate, sue, protest, and otherwise make it more annoying for Republicans to do anything.

I get that they're not the majority, so not much legislation will pass, but they still have tactics to delay any actions.

Why are the Republicans the only ones who can find and exploit loopholes in the constitution?

Somebody didn't read the article! It's only Music videos that will have ads. It seems the cost savings here are all from cutting out record label contracts

I rented a car from Hertz this weekend and the desk person blatantly lied about the coverage provided by my credit card. Who knows if he's instructed to say that or not, but it's shady either way.

Level 100 GeoGuessr over here!

Company founder/early executive. It's a new thing every day and to top it off every year or so, if things are going well, your whole job gets reinvented!

Wow, how fascinating, thanks!

It makes total sense in hindsight that people have specialties. I guess I figured it to be a bit like the wine world where everybody has to have roughly the same skills in order to get by.

Wow, care to tell us more about New Belgium?

How do you become an expert taster? Did you have to taste every batch to make sure it comes out tasting "correct"? How do they manage that on such a large scale?

Just put a 6th finger on your hand and you're good to go!

I think he does a good job at explaining both sides and calling for a root-cause solution, but he's definitely leaving out an important piece: the data collected by all the US social media companies can't just be taken by the US government. They need reasonable causes and go through channels where their access should be checked before they can get their hands on the data. The Chinese government, on the other hand, can just compel TikTok to hand over the data they want.

I don't like the data overreach by all big us tech companies, but at least their data has some safety rails around its usage.

I understand the "but I like TikTok" crowd, but China bans US companies from operating in China all the time. Why is it all of a sudden a problem when we do it to them?

Seconded, it's amazing for occasional reddit use when you don't want your eyeballs seared by the normal interface!

The real question is which accent?

My brain is going to generic middle east and I don't know why

Your local restaurant has probably raised prices slightly but nowhere near as much as their costs have actually gone up.

Many of the big restaurant group-owned places near me have raised prices and enshittified service, but my trusty local places are holding ground.

Some people, especially in staff+ engineer levels, just want to work on their little piece of an ultra complex data center problem and are happy doing it. From my experience, they don't seem to care what the broader company is up to, they're just immersed in their n-of-1 problem space and happy that they get to solve it.

Not saying it's the right thing to do, but not everyone actively cares about their company. It's a paycheck and fulfilling technical problem solving to them.
