Having a go bag ready is probably always prudent, but probably not moreso today than any other. The quake in Venezuela is unusual, but the others are not causally linked. Different plates and normal ring of fire behavior.

The global GDP lost annually to senior engineers staring at a four-line PR waiting for someone — anyone — to type 'LGTM' could fund a moon mission.

The very next line is true though and entertaining. Has nothing to do with LLM’s though. This is a truly vexing process issue. The number of teams that do this rather than just pushing to trunk and relying on proper CI is way too high.

I find it frustrating when I get a review request that has nothing complex. Like, “What do you want me to review here? Spelling?” They really just want to do the process. Open a patch, waste my time clicking approve. Then, immediately merge. Just push to trunk, chicken.

No doubt, but not always, and sometimes the person making the patch already is an expert and I trust them. There are times when a pull request is not necessary. Just apply the patch. Especially if it is the same patch applied across many repositories.

Process for a good reason? Great. Process for the sake of rote process? Not as great.

Well, that’s a bit of a “How long is a piece of string” question. I’m not saying there is a clear delineation, just that most programmers could see that changing one line with little practical impact is wholly different than a patch with many restructured components. Where between those two a team draws the line is a fair question but there is a line, and assuming all changes, regardless of impact, are on one side of it does waste time.

Sure, maybe 2 minutes. But not only does each 2 minute interruption actually cause a full break in current work; context switching is notoriously costly for programmers, but they also add up. If I get many of these in one day, that just isn’t productive. Imagine a teammate decides we’re going to upgrade a library dependency for a patch version. We validate this. Then, we simply need to change this version id in each of 50 services. Opening a PR for each of these is craziness.

You don’t like the OS; ok. Nobody likes the forced usage of the engine. But WebKit being the “worst web standards compliant” is simply not true. It’s maybe the highest on interop and certainly competitive in other ways. I wish there were more WebKit and Gecko; way too much Blink right now. Come on Ladybird and Servo.

Also worth noting that, although this is not AI specific, I believe the current estimate is that close to half of this is split about evenly between model training and inference.

Wow! WTF? Parents being involved seems the minimum. The way I see it, if the school took no action and the parents were intentionally not told, the kid got off easy without a full blown asswhoopin’.

Seems like a reasonable approach. Make people be accountable for the code they submit, no matter the tools used.

What is this? Good news? In this economy? It simply cannot be!

Something about this picture just screams middle school maths book cover.

The last reply is great.

This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an "agent" or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an "asset" to them.

Personally I am much less bothered by grok being involved here than the sick fuck that requests it. How can you be that person; boggles the mind.

I’m not saying it’s the coolest, but I made a thing to scratch an itch that others may enjoy. I modeled it after something I found a few decades back that I never found again.

The enshittification of the nation continues. $200 billion more to ICE among many other terrible things.

Haha. One of you chuckleheads has gone and done it. Whoever you are...

We will be watching your career with great interest.

That’s funny. Every time somebody says “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about,” I reply, “Do you shit with the door open?”

But now the door isn’t just open. It feels like Uncle Sam is pissing between your legs.
