if my password has not been leaked it's insane that providers think i should rotate it, but this still seems to be standard practice for some completely baffling reason

runpod is billed by the minute

i feel like surprisingly, front end work which used to be viewed by programmers as "easier" is now more difficult of the two, because it's where LLMs suck the most

you get a link to a figma design and you have to use your eyes and common sense to cobble together tailwind classes, ensure responsiveness, accessibility, try out your components to make sure they're not janky, test out on a physical mobile device, align margins, padding, truncation, wrapping, async loading states, blah blah you get it

LLMs still suck at all that stuff that requires a lot of visual feedback, after all, you're making an interface for humans to use, and you're a human

in contrast, when i'm working on a backend ticket ai feels so much more straightforward and useful

but as soon as you test on your private testing set you're sending it to their servers so they have access to it

so effectively you can only guarantee a single use stays private

those are some weird oranges

tbh i drink a coffee in the morning every day, no sugar, i think it tastes objectively terrible, like bitter dirt, but it's hijacked my reward pathway in the same way that nicotine or ethanol does, that it makes me enjoy the taste somehow

blind people still have other senses including touch which gives them a size reference they can compare to. you can feel physical objects to gain an understanding of their size.

the LLM is more like a brain in a vat with only one sensory input - a stream of text

yeah it looks like a fancy tech gadget marketed to people in developed countries where you have like one power cut every 2 years

reddit tier humor, truly

it's just regurgitating overly emphasized cliches in a disgustingly enthusiastic tone

good morning!

i guess hacker culture is now "just pay for your netflix subscription and shut up"

tell that to the people who get letters from their isp threatening to cancel service for downloading torrents

vpns have their use case, they're definitely not snake oil

> George Hotz is making better drivers for AMD

lol

can also do usec for micro

same, absolutely terrible choice of a verb for the headline

this is what gaslighting looks like

how about they don't send anything about my photos to their servers and i get to keep my shit on my own device

i suppose we're past that to the point where techbros like you will defend personal data exfiltration because.. uhh idk? trillion dollar corporation knows best?

i don't get the skepticism, yes a youtuber did a thing but without them probably no one would have cared and the TV would've ended up destroyed in the rubble of the building

he even went to the lengths of calling up different CRT experts trying getting them to fix it

all this negativism just feels like older people being all "zoomers bad" because the medium is not what they prefer. maybe we should just be happy to pass the torch and glad that younger generations even have interest in this sort of thing

in practice everyone who wants to do ML at home buys nvidia and pays the premium

that sounds tedious af and still prone to error, i'd rather literally pay someone to handle all of this for me, let's say, some kind of institution which specializes in storing and handling money

for real, it's so much better i've started using it everywhere, to the point where if a service asks me for a password i get really annoyed.

no i don't remember this random string i typed in months ago and no i don't want to have to type in the password to unlock my password manager for the 82349th time

this whole thread is perplexing, a forum full of tech people bitching about something that's more secure and more convenient

i was gifted a glass set once where black's pieces were matte glass and white's pieces were clear glass, so quite a striking texture difference

it was still unplayable and more of a decoration

i don't know what context you're using it in, but imagine a company like airbnb or booking.com using the built in date picker on their front page

you might as well cut their public valuation in half at that point. it's just not worth it to use the completely neglected and anemic components that are part of the browser, they are a joke

> comnpletely unstyled,

this is what completely holds back most built-in browser components from widespread usage, i suspect the vendors implementing it just don't care at all because it's not their problem

every company i've ever worked at had at least a somewhat consistently defined design language and it would look completely amateurish and out of place to use built in browser components in most places, regardless of how much html/css purists want that to be the case

unless that is fixed, it will never happen

not trying to be rude but this doesn't sound like "most people"

> 500 Internal Server Error nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)

very apt

the linked article is very light on details, here is a better one:

that's an intended feature working as expected, an influx of more people would ruin it

not long ago these people would have you believe that a next word predictor trained on reddit posts would somehow lead to artificial general superintelligence

this was likely expected and priced in, their stock is at an all time high

> Define “fraud”?

the BigCorp owns your life, the rights to tell you where to be 75% of your waking hours and what to do.

get the eight hour job done in two hours and slack off for the rest? that's theft and fraud. get it done in two hours and admit to it? that's more work for you for the same pay, to fill the rest of your time.

then you go online and some overly enthusiastic yc sponsored clown will dunk on you for not giving your life away to a corporation
