I shelled out the 20 bucks to try Claude Opus 3 after all the hype, and was left disappointed.

Gave it some medium difficulty coding tasks that GPT-4 struggled with, and Claude made some elementary mistakes like assigning variables that were never used, forgetting about parameters, and suggesting to change some lines of code to the exact same code which was already there.

It was quite an underwhelming experience

I'm guessing having humans on board makes it easier, since they can tend to the landing instead of having to do it semi-autonomously all the way from Earth

I tried Hello Fresh because of their "free" box promotion, and I have to say as a single person who lives alone, it was great to both have sensible portion sizes, and reducing the mental overhead of having to think about what to cook during weekdays, along the planning and shopping that comes with it.

It's nice not to have to eat Bolognese for 4 days if you make one, since beef mince normally only comes in 500g sizes and so on. I know you can freeze it, but you get my point.

That being said, I agree with the others that the recipes are quite simple, and once you know them it becomes just as easy to buy the ingredients at the shop and make it yourself.

Another disadvantage I've noticed is the amount of packaging, it can't be environmentally friendly. They ship perishables wrapped inside mineral wool with a non-recyclable plastic bag with ice, everything is in a huge cardboard box, there's tons of printed recipes and promotional codes printed on cards, and tons and tons of little plastic and paper wrappers for everything.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of UVXY. It's not meant to be held for longer periods of time, it's a financial product for traders to make short term volatility plays.

No, I will not:

Yeah I live in the UK and was absolutely confused by the comment, Amazon UK is like 98% Chinese no-name brand garbage

For example if I search for 'projector', I get the following brands: XUANPAD, MAGCCUBIC, LQWELL, VOPLLS, CLOKOWE

The gradients in the webp look clearly terrible to me. I'm using a normal 1440p monitor, nothing fancy

I feel like we domesticated dogs and selectively bred them to follow commands and do what we want. For cats it's more like the other way around, they domesticated us and still have their complete independence.

From an evolutionary point of view I still think cats are the most successful animals. They have managed to get the ultimate apex predator (humans) to feed, care and provide shelter for them, in exchange for merely existing and looking cute.

As a user I love it, I use a mix of Windows, Linux and MacOS machines and when I see docker I know that it will "just werk" regardless of which one I'm using at the moment

Our company switched from GitHub / Jira to everything on GitLab because devops had the authority to make the switch and that's what they wanted.

PMs now complain that the GitLab "issue board" is nowhere near a replacement for Jira and us devs complain that GitHub had a nicer UX and less stability issues.

Can't make everyone happy at once I guess /shrug

More than 1TB a month. Just downloading one game from Steam can easily be more than 100GB these days. Downloading ML weights churns through gigabytes easily, as does downloading or streaming 4K movies.

What's the point of having gigabit download speed if you have to constantly worry about using up your cap? And paying an extra £5 for every 250GB extra seems like some arbitrary punishment for power users.

They don't pay for infrastructure based on bytes transferred so why should I as a customer pay this random made up number?

Sadly A&A don't offer an unlimited bandwidth plan, which in 2023 seems absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.

> You think they let inexperienced developers touch the YT code base

Uh, yes? We were all inexperienced at some point. Just the linked file is like 300k lines of unminified code, I doubt it's all written by PHDs with 20 years of experience

Without studying the minified code I wouldn't assume malice just yet, this could be just an inexperienced developer trying to lazily fix some browser-specific bug, or something that accidentally made it to production like you say

In the UK we also have one of the worst systems for buying and selling property which on average takes 3 months or more for a single transaction and everyone can walk away at any point until exchange of contracts for whatever dumb reason. As a buyer you will spend thousands on legal and survey fees before you even know if there is anything wrong with the property.

Legal fees are more like 2k+ these days (source: buying a house)

These little demos of toy UIs are cute but humans can still hold the context of a whole codebase in their heads.

We're not quite at the level (yet) of feeding a whole codebase to an LLM and making it add features or make changes while understanding the big picture of the problem being solved, being consistent with the design principles and coding style of the overall existing codebase. And I'm not even talking about creating complex UIs where performance matters

Another issue I've ran into a lot is staleness of the knowledge the LLM was trained on, a lot of libraries and frameworks get really frequent, quite often breaking changes, and LLMs have a cutoff date.

Try using ChatGPT for something like Godot's GDScript, it will always try to use old Godot v3 style scripting because that's what it's been taught, and the whole documentation for Godot v4 is not something small enough to just fit into context

Maybe this would be a better fit for some agent type workflow where it can decide what to lookup from the documentation and then retrieve it, but it also needs to know and decide what to look up and how. There is still a lot to figure out

The article is low quality clickbait.

Civitai is just a popular place to host stable diffusion models / LORAs / textual inversions, not some kind of fake nudes marketplace. It's the huggingface of stable diffusion.

Yeah it doesn't seem too bad, if you're earning 100 - 200 a day as a teenager like they say in the article, probably not paying rent to your parents, do that for a year or two, stash that in a savings account and you've got a house deposit ready for later in life

That was great, thanks

They are going to remove Windows Calendar in 2024 and force replace it with Outlook. Out of curiosity I clicked the opt in "preview" for this change and it opens Outlook, which I have never used, and wouldn't let me do anything unless I "linked" my Gmail address. Just so I could open a calendar.

So I closed it and when I need to look at the calendar now, I use my Macbook instead.

It's so infuriating how Windows is turning into a total shitshow lately.

Why should people not have the right to block ads? It's my client and my device. If your content can only exist if you have to force feed people advertisements for some corporation to profit, maybe your content is not that important

Most of YouTube is just clickbait anyway

That sounds like it would take way too much processing power. Google is not like Twitch where relatively few streams are served to many millions, it's more like many millions of videos to many millions of users.

I don't, and will never understand this argument, because here in Europe, the Tesco in my town centre has a different price for the exact same item to the Tesco Superstore on the edge of town which also has a different price to the little Tesco Express down the road.

Somehow this all works magically here but in the US it is impossible because.. reasons unknown

You can't just have a "good" internet connection. For some games the difference between 30ms and 100ms latency is a great experience vs being almost unplayable. This is not exaggeration, this is fact and millions of gamers who actually measure their ping will tell you the same.

I use this to simulate delays between various local services:

If you have Docker all you need is a few terminal commands

Agreed, I'm no stranger to Linux, and also use a MacBook for work, but when I come home I just want to play a bit of Diablo 4 or whatever and chill. I would have switched years and years ago.

Got hooked on Microsoft as early as the DOS days by playing games as a kid. They earned a customer for life indirectly there. Maybe Adobe helped a bit too.

Indentation changes the structure of the data. There is no deterministic way to auto format YAML, you have to make sure, as a human, that everything is at the right indentation level

   - something
     - a
     - b

Is completely different to:

   - something
     - a
       - b

Any configuration format that cannot be auto-formatted (i.e. has significant whitespace) goes straight in the trash. 90% of my time spent with YAML is usually trying to figure out if something is indented correctly.
