It’s significantly more accessible than trying to sync bookmarks with an Ereader’s shitty browser

At that point why not use TSV?

Yet almost every other police force in the world would’ve handled this without shooting him…

Only if you’re specifically targeted. I know enough regex to know that nobody is going to bother trying to parse known passwords to identify patterns like that when there’s a billion suckers who use ‘password123’ for their bank accounts.

As long as the pattern is not super predictable, and aren’t dictionary words, nobody is brute forcing that.

Did woodworking before I started software engineering, and I feel like the general attitude to craftsmanship applies well to coding.

If its Boeing I ain’t landing doesn’t have the same ring.

Do yourself a favour and sideload Smarttubenext onto the chromecast. No more YouTube ads.

I wonder if it’s a switch in strategy, i.e. The ad block ban popup gives clear notification to the user to update their adblock but slowing the video load speeds without giving feedback might be a more effective in slowing the arms race.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredible. But it’s still a variation of the Chinese room experiment, it’s not a real intelligence, but really good at pretending to be one. I might trust it more if there were variants based on strictly controlled datasets.

I write a lot of bash and I still have to check syntax every day, but the answer to that is not chatGPT but a proper linter like shell check that you can trust because it’s based on a rigid set of rules, not the black box of a LLM.

I can understand the syntax justification for obscure languages that don’t have a well written linter, but if anything that gives me less confidence about CHATGPT because it’s training material for an obscure language is likely smaller.

For the love of God, if you’re a junior programmer you’re overestimating your understanding if you keep relying on chatGPT thinking ‘of course I’ll spot the errors’. You will until you won’t and you end up dropping the company database or deleting everything in root.

All ChatGPT is doing is guessing the next word. And it’s trained on a bunch of bullshit coding blogs that litter the internet, half of which are now chatGPT written (without any validation of course).

If you can’t take 10 - 30 minutes to search for, read, and comprehend information on stack overflow or docs then programming (or problem solving) just isn’t for you. The junior end of this feel is really getting clogged with people who want to get rich quick without doing any of the legwork behind learning how to be good at this job, and ChatGPT is really exarcebating the problem.

Or alternatively, nobody would care if it didn’t involve a public figure. Cuts both ways.

Same sort of logic for why people cross picket lines. Sure everyone is entitled to do what they want, but it hurts the rest of us.

The amount of bootlicking YouTube premium users in these threads astonish me. Wonder how they’d feel when it’s $150+ per year and the value proposition completely ceases to exist.
