Guy in the front row: “hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R’s in ‘resurrection’.”
What exactly should LLMs be used for?


Finally, the Republicans will wake up and see Trump for what he really i-
Kidding, the Republicans are going to surgically implant their fingers in their ears and claim it’s a forgery by Democrats or some shit.
Waiting for government intervention before acting is the same mistake we made with lead, asbestos, and PFAS. Let’s not do that again.
So… what do they propose we do, then?

Oooh! Oooh! This is an easy one.
No.
One of the two browsers in existence does something shitty and everybody switches to the other. Wait a little while and the other does evil shit and everyone switches back.
Remember when Chromium did the WEI thing?
And when Firefox added a full-screen ad for the movie Turning Red?
Firefox and Chromium are both FOSS, but it seems that isn’t enough. Hopefully it’s different for Lady Bird.
The horrors persist, but so do $5 single-topping hot and ready-to-go.


Nope. I reply to bots quite frequently. I’m often the only commenter in the thread, but if I have something to say about what the bot posted, I’ll comment.
Often my comments are to make fun of blockchain or LLMs. But if the Hacker News bot posts a link to a blog post on underwater beekeeping and I have an opinion, I’ll post whatever I think adds to the conversation.


Nice try, Danny Ocean.

Watching Amazon and Perplexity argue about AI agents making purchases on Amazon is like watching two discount birthday party clowns angrily honk bicycle horns at each other.
These people compiled Firefox and Chrome into WebAssembly.
They spent so much effort trying to figure out if they could that they never stopped to think whether they should.


I can definitely see a lot of good applications for this way of doing things.
It does seem like I often run across “error handling” code that literally just catches a bunch of different exception types and throws a new exception with the same content from the caught error just reworded, adding literally zero helpful information in the process.
It’s definitely the case that sometimes the exact sort of crash you’d get if you didn’t handle errors is exactly the best sort of exception output the program could do given its particular use case and target audience. Or at least it might be best to let the error be handled much further away in the call stack.


Well, 50% is “at least 15%”.
Samhain, the night when !witchymemes@lemmy.world leaks into other communities. And I’m here for it.
