I’m old enough to have seen VHS come and go, and I do this. What financial sense does it make to keep steady rent on a service you don’t need all the time?

I just came to watch the younger generations react.

Microsoft - So secure we ROT13 encode everything… TWICE!

I vote 12 Angry Men.

Now I have the intro theme from “V” stuck in my head. Thanks.

V - The final battle

Always learning. Thanks!

You could paint it gold with premium genuine alpaca leather interiors, and I would still not use it.

It’s only function is to download a better browser.

Amen.

Stop providing distractions to the assholes around me, they are dangerous enough as it is.

If you know what you’re doing, no. If you don’t know what you are doing, yes.

The difference is the knowledge you gain from traditional learning and experience.

Blocked.

I agree that books are much better resources to learn in a structured way. This builds a solid foundation where you can then use LLMs to fill the boring gaps.

You’re doing it right, using it as a tool to learn.

I’m doing the same to get a handle on Python. I question the steps, compare it with other sources, and try to get comfortable coding it myself. I then use it to review my code, and get further insights.

It’s a tool. Just another tool.

These are some of the most pragmatic engineers out there. They don’t pick up any new tool just because it’s trendy. I’m old enough to have watched Torvalds create Git virtually overnight because the kernel devs hated Bitbucket.

If they can work with LLMs, they must have found some use case for it.

From my limited experience, it can be a good help to point out flaws in my code, not so much at generating what I want it to do.

Layer 8 issue.

Good article detailing what to expect when dealing with these automated blackholes.

Reminded me of some of the trouble I went through when I operated a live email server. Getting out of those lists is hell.

Jeez, I didn’t meant it as women vs men. I meant it as any cool new tech first gets flaunted by the rich and powerful for some vain, narcissistic purpose.

You know what’s going to happen, don’t you? This tech will first be incorporated into a blindingly shiny dress of a B-class starlet at next year’s Oscar’s red carpet.

I hope they enjoy Farscape, because that’s what they’re getting of they eavesdrop me.

You’re clearly upset with the leadership of your country. How does piracy change anything?

When you live in society, you should obey the laws OR fight to change them. Pirating stuff is a weak form of protest.
