Yes, and it’s one of the most important things I do. Given the AI codegen boom we’re seeing, it’s also the skill I have that is increasing the fastest in value.

I don’t know the subject well enough to tell, unfortunately.

You can really tell that the tech industry just blanket laid off all of the UX researchers, otherwise they would have explained to them how dumb this is

This is true. They do not think, because they are next token predictors, not brains.

Having this in mind, you can still harness a few usable properties from them. Nothing like the kind of hype the techbros and VCs imagine, but a few moderately beneficial use-cases exist.

Yep, that’s leptin resistance for you. Obesity is really a hormonal condition, and this is why GLP-1 inhibitors are so effective - they actually treat the hormonal condition and allow the recipient to manage their food intake without having their body hormonally work against them.

A layman’s explanation (to be clear, I am the layman) of my best understanding of the subject:

Hunger is controlled by 2 hormones:

• Ghrelin, which causes hunger and is produced by the stomach
• Leptin, which suppresses hunger and is produced by fat cells

As fat cells accumulate, leptin levels also increase, but a person that has developed leptin resistance will not feel the appropriate amount of hunger suppression from the leptin, leading to chronic hunger unless large energy intake is sustained.

LLMs are fundamentally unsuitable for character counting on account of how they ‘see’ the world - as a sequence of tokens, which can split words in non-intuitive ways.

Regular programs already excel at counting characters in words, and LLMs can be used to generate such programs with ease.

I got a GMKtec G3.

What a fucking loser

I suppose I never actually had a good experience with Amazon to be able to compare against.

You’d be surprised, actually. You have to be careful, yes - the default option is that you get crap - but all of the high-quality cycling gear/running gear/variety consumer electronics I’ve scored is a testament to the possibility of getting great stuff.

Honestly, it’s baffling how good some of the stuff you can get off of AliExpress is, especially when taking the low price into account.

My ~$100 N100 server is a testament to that. Just need to score some additional storage for it

Your brain is not rotten enough to comprehend the statement

Unironically true actually, ffmpeg is everywhere in the video space

To my best understanding:

Mog = outdo another person in aesthetics

Hence a mogbattle would be a battle of looks, in this case determined by popular vote facilitated through the Discord reaction system.

There are plenty of good podcasts out there, so this doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny.

It’s a bit like calling all TV shit because of the existence of reality TV, or all movies bad because of the existence of Hallmark movies

Don’t ask unless you intentionally want to contract stage 4 brainrot

I have zero desire to live like that to be completely honest with you

That kind of commit quality should only really be permissible on private projects, and as a reviewer, it’s arguably acceptable to reject PRs with this kind of history.

You should be writing your commits to the benefit of the code reviewer - structure them in a logical fashion to tell the story about the changes you want to get merged.

For non-trivial branches I usually soft reset to the point where all code is unstaged and uncommitted and then curate the commits to align with what the reviewer should be reading. It’s not uncommon for me to have several branches containing a single “wip”-commit which I amend onto while building up the full code for the branch.

In non-minimal changesets, I would miss information/documentation about individual logical changes that make up the changeset.

It’s usually possible to find this by navigating back to the PR which you can find referenced in the squash commit.

I guess this might be a larger problem for codebases not following a trunk-based approach, where PRs grows to very large sizes before going into the mainline branch.

Have the gooners gone too far and why is the answer yes?
