If you felt improvements with semiglutide only after many months, how long did the other trials last? It sounds like you went through hundreds of trials. Did they all went on for many months? When did you determine that a drug wasn't effective and abort the trial? How come you didn't abort the semiglutide trial earlier?

I'm pretty sure there is no diagnostic test for ME/CFS. What are you referring to?

Also I don't understand how semaglutide did help you while you're at the same time part of a minority risk group with a hypersensitivity to it. Isn't that a contradiction?

In your opinion: at what age does someone become unworthy of life?

I'm sure the other astronauts are really looking forward to fly with a person showing signs of suicidal ideation.

Could you please name a couple persons who matter in their professional domain, who post on LinkedIn, and who you benefited from by engaging with them on LinkedIn?

Why not Human Olympics?

Did you report that SQLite bug? What's the company's name?

What are the military objectives?

This sounds like a very odd and very lonely job to me. Reading your description I pictured a comically tiny room with only one opening for incoming requests and another one for outgoing responses. Obviously silly, but in an abstract sense maybe not that far from the truth?

It also sounds like you were overworked and when you started to use LLMs you've stripped yourself of the chance to work with a colleague.

What is an "eco warrior"? It sounds similar to the alt-right term "social justice warrior". Is this on purpose?

I can't tell if this is satire or has been built in earnest. It gives me such strong "The Platform" (2019) vibes, but at the same time I can imagine people actually paying for this.

For instance, did nobody ever stop and think that it might be bad for mental health if you force people to interact with a dating app daily? But the dating app industry is known for preying on the desperate, so maybe it's not surprising at all? I really can't tell.

But that requires an explicit declaration and isn't done automatically under the hood, or am I missing something?

Nice! That's (seems) so simple yet also so very effective. Shouldn't other memory-managed languages be able to profit from this as well?

I'm confused. You heard about someone you knew being wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn't commit and you could have provided the testimony to clear him, but you just decided not to? Why not?

"They're driven by values" is meaningless praise unless you qualify what these values are. The Nazis had values too, you know. They were even willing to die for them. One of the core values of the Catholic church is probably compassion. Except for the victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by their clergy.

So what core values led "Dario, Jared, and Sam" to work with a government that just tried to rename the DoD to "department of war" and is acting aggressively imperialist in a way like the US hasn't in a long time.

And who exactly are these "autocratic adversaries" they are mentioning? Does this list include the autocrats the US government is working together with?

Wow. When did HN become /pol?

Yes, I have and no there aren't any services, because it's illegal almost everywhere. But if you give me the 60k, I'll write a wikihow for it.

Because I find LLM-generated content very annoying to read. It's sloggish, bloated, and the speaker always has this cringe way of trying to connect to the audience.

I don't believe the story itself is made up by an LLM but I'd argue that if you have an LLM write your story then it's no problem for you to have it add a TL;DR at the top so we can skip the slop.

I don't see an advantage over C's usual error handling, because this type is lacking the support functions (like bind and fmap in functional languages) or syntax integration (like the try operator in rust) that would make it useful.

They are called diacritics.

It's not that simple. The real problem is that Valve allows items to be sold in markets outside of Valve's control which allows third party gambling websites to operate. And you guessed right, they basically don't care about your age. Valve of course knows this but won't do anything, because they make profits off all transactions happening in third party markets. Plus the whole professional CS tournament scene is sponsored by these predatory casinos. Coffeezilla did an in-depth piece on this: https://youtu.be/q58dLWjRTBE

But isn't this something Inkscape can do since forever?

This doesn't look like a standard .net config (appsettings.json) to me. It looks more like a simple json serialization of an object. To get the framework behavior that replaces secrets with e.g. env vars one would have to feed this json into a .net ConfigurationBuilder first.

Considering that this represents one of many possible workflow objects (probably organized in a data structure and managed by other objects/methods), implementing secret replacement using a ConfigurationBuilder seems like abuse.

That analogy is off, because LLMs aren't a project I'm working on. They are a tool I can use to do that. And my expectation on tools is that they help me and not make things more complicated than they already are.

When LLMs ever reach that point I'll certainly hear about it and gladly use them. In the meantime I let the enthusiasts sort out the problems and glitches first.

> No, it's good enough already.

If it takes you hours to figure out what's working and what's not, then it isn't good enough. It should just work or it should be obvious when it won't work.

How does this relate to domain-driven design? It seems to be at odds with it, because in DDD it's kind of expected that the same concept will be represented in a different way by each system? But to be honest, I didn't read the whole blog post because of the UML vibes.

You forgot to add a source for your claim that protestors called for the death of Rowling.

This service is pretty much what I, a software developer, am scared off. I expect that it will be used in order to quickly cobble something together and then hand it over to a dev for "polishing". And this sounds like a total nightmare to me.

If used like that, this service will effectively turn my job into that of an assistant to a machine.

Oh nice, I wasn't aware. I always associated hacking with "gaining unauthorized access" and googling for the first definition confirmed that I'm my eyes. Didn't know it was the other way around and the term is actually much older than I assumed.

But there is no irony, because it's two different meanings of the word "hacking": firstly "gaining unauthorized access", and secondly "focused programming".

I always hated that there is this second meaning. Especially since IMO it's being used to "steal" some of the glory associated with the original meaning.

When did this second meaning emerge anyway? Is this site here partially at fault?
