having someone else validate that the thing failing on your machine is only failing on your machine not theirs can be as good as validating something works everywhere

Did the thing where I went off on trying a new thing, only to find out at the end that the old thing was correct in a way the new thing simply can’t ever be.

To be fair the poor LLM might’ve called β€œsend_roses_to(lat,lon)” with no idea what it was doing.

The Anthropic move postponed but didn’t eliminate the possibility of folks attending an ED-209 demo at some point.

New toxic workplace idea: shaming your coworkers who don’t use LLMs with β€œsee I can blame the agent for these mistakes, you have no one to point to but yourself.”

This KS action is terrifying and abusive, and here’s my cis-het white male counter story: My license says female and I can say with certainty no one has ever given a shit. If we wanna do right we have to stop the fear and hate and treat everyone like the most privileged of us.

Cause that choice would normally have been a choice in a distro install (ie choose lvfs). Not of a distro.

To be clear I’ve accepted it and dig what it can do, it was just an overly ambitious project from the jump that broke a lot of ~30 year old things at first.

I was literally grudging this today. I just wish it had followed the do one thing philosophy. as it is it became the closest thing Linux has had to a breaking change. Because unlike filesystems or ipchains vs iptables there was so much going on that it became a one way decision with no gradient.

There’s a trap where folks will see the imposition of the slightest second of sacrifice on themselves for the common good as hurtful and any state abuse of anyone but them as helpful.

The more honest question is how many times has a programmer felt like they were that person. More than a couple if they’ve ever done challenging work.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

I started on linux-y unix-y systems in the age of telnet (and rsh), it's really a great sea change that's occurring arguably 25 years later than it should've, but probably as early as it could have reasonably: www.labs.greynoise.io/grimoire/202...
