  • For me, that was much more of an issue on reddit.

    I think this is a cool place. There are a lot of empathetic caring people that are plugged into what’s going on in the world.

    The downside of that is the world is a mess, to put it lightly, right now, so we’re all kind of commiserating, and it is pretty serious business at the moment.

    I personally haven’t seen a ton of one-upping. I’m usually just happy to get a few up votes or a reply













  • It really depends on who defines what hate speech is.

    Is questioning the Zionist genocide hate speech? Is being an outspoken socialist hate speech against capitalists? Is stating you want to separate church and state hateful against Christians? Is supporting Palestine hate speech in the UK?

    I’m a fan of free speech. Unless it is literally inciting violence or panic.

    It’s fucked up innocent people holding Palestine action signs are being arrested in the UK. Attacking free speech is what leads to situations like that.


  • It feels like relying on GPS while driving around. If you know the roads well and just want some help with live traffic or somewhere you haven’t been before, it’s a decent tool.

    If you rely on it because you don’t want to think and just want to press the easy button, you’re going to have a bad time sooner or later.

    Back to software, I think there are a lot of people introducing concepts they don’t understand or can’t maintain (either from poor quality slop or it is just too advanced for their current level of understanding). You can do a few turns like this, until you’re stuck burning tokens in a loop without moving forward in a meaningful way.

    I try to avoid taking the easy route myself unless I’ve burnt too much time stuck on some small detail. Ultimately I feel it is super important to understand what you are delivering. Whether it is writing it yourself, copying a stack overflow post, or using an LLM. Once you commit and push to prod you’ve got to deal with that crap.



  • There are a couple of pricey delivery cookie places by my house.

    I never used them before, but I was curious how much cookies actually cost these days. Getting a single cookie is $2.50 in-store, delivery is $7, so getting that single cookie delivered would be $9.50.

    Getting a single cookie, however big, is crazy so you have to get two right? So that is $13. Then a tip and taxes, and damn that’s an expensive set of cookies.
