Nothing to discuss.

Don't do this. Ever.

There's a broken idea that AI know Python because they're written in Python.

Not how any of it works.


Not what anyone was talking about. Training corpus ≠ inference engine.


While recent models are capable of generalizing to any language at this point, I do think there are weights from their pretraining corpus that still leak through into how they create their responses. We observed similar language performance patterns across models from different providers, btw.


No. "This program reflects the enduring company we want to build. It applies to all full-time employees meeting performance expectations on their work anniversary. The longer someone stays at Lovable, the more deeply they understand the company, contribute to its momentum, and shape its culture,” Maryanne Caughey, lead of Lovable’s people team, told TechCrunch."

So when they wish to not increase the payroll significantly they'll downrate everyone at the annual review.

Basically, it's exactly how you create a toxic culture.


Contrast is a violation of accessibility guidelines.


This site is already violating your privacy. Do you think they care about your accessibility needs?


The site isn't violating your privacy.


The problem with it is you didn't solve your biggest actual problem, you just haven't had a problem bite you in the ass yet so you think your problem is solved.


I am not sure the problem is actually fully solvable. I think SQLite helps at least a little.


It's totally solvable and SQLite solves it (or claims to anyway). The real question is if it works. To test this sort of thing properly you really need what is now called DST and I'm not sure SQLite does that. It is pretty well tested though so they've probably done at least some testing of it.


I guess some context; I'm not 100% sure it's solvable for the actual domain I'm working on, which is Micro SD cards; they have a tendency to lie about write success.

I think that is at too low of a level for me to realistically solve it, but with SQLite it will at least do what little I can; the fact that it's been around for twenty years with extremely thorough testing and frequent updates means that it's more likely to be correct than some ad-hoc thing I come up with. I think I'm pretty clever sometimes and I could probably get something *as good as SQLite if I really wanted to, but I don't think I'd surpass it and at that point why not just use SQLite?


> they have a tendency to lie about write success

As long as they lie in order, or alternatively you have a way of verifying the write (e.g. by reading it back) then you should be able to make it work fairly easily.

If they just completely lie - the data is just cached but never actually written - then you're screwed. There's obviously no way to make a persistent storage device out of something that doesn't persist your data.


In my experience it's the latter as far as I can tell. It has actually written like 99.99% of the time, but about 1/10000 writes it actually isn't writing.

exFAT has the lovely feature of potentially not only corrupting the file, but also corrupting the metadata for the surrounding system as well. It's terrible.


EA presented their numbers for their online store. They were making something like 12%, and losing money.

They ran it at a loss and try to use its existence to declare everyone else overcharging. Apple, Google, Steam. Meanwhile, they were unable to make money, just proving they don't know how business works.


Does that count the ludicrous number of games they have given away? That has to be a boat anchor on their financials.


You mean Epic Games, don't you?


The fact that most people think the Tab key is the correct choice is a perfect example of why it was not.

It had a purpose, and it got hijacked and made its actual purpose more difficult to use.

It's not dissimilar to Apples initial Touch Bar and then removing the Escape key.

Average user might never use that key; average developer doesn't got long without using that key for its purpose.


When you type a table on a typewriter you use the tab to advance to the next column (how many you have depends on the typewriter - you often had margins and one or two tabs). In typewriters, tab doesn’t have a specific width and you don’t have tab stops at every 8 columns. At least on the ones I have here.


Nope. Tokens aren't what you think they are.


"either literally hates AI or has been driven at least a little crazy by it. It's a pretty darn easy choice for me (and most people I imagine)."

Careful, your bias is showing.
