"Free encyclopedia service founder disparages competing free encyclopedia service" See also entry for "encyclopedia salesman"


One is free as in freedom, the other is beholden to the business of a billionaire with a political agenda.

Ironically, the section "criticism and controversies" on the Grokipedia article on Grokipedia gives a good overview. https://grokipedia.com/page/grokopedia


Now AI is summarizing your daily progress from your commits and AI is writing the planning docs (with HITL). And version control makes it a historical record of your planning process. Keeping detailed planning docs doesn't take your whole day anymore and can be an integral part of any IC's workflow now.


CICD is a vast improvement over the manual deployments I was involved in. Usually those were on Friday nights and 10+ people had to wait their turn before deploying. Sometimes it only took a couple of hours; some deployments lasted until the morning.


As a person who wants to consume LESS human slop in my news feeds, this seems like exactly the wrong direction.


Yea, this project gives less "my contract partners will benevolently read my diary after I die" than "enabling and incentivizing my closest friends to hold a vote to redistribute all my assets amongst themselves"


Every local tree listing that I've clicked is incorrect. I'm guessing bad municipal data. But this seems useless if it's all wrong.


It sounds like AI summarization tools would be beneficial. You can just have the conversation, not fill out any forms afterward, then your partner can either watch the recording or read the AI summary of the relevant customer needs from the recording (or ask their AI agent questions about the transcript of the recording).


Are other phrases of the form "ending ____ness", where ____ is a racial qualifier, also acceptable, then? Someone using that term could similarly argue that they're not advocating for the eradication of ____ people - just the identity and behavior associated with ____ people.


Are you arguing that calling it "whiteness" is a bad branding move by the sociologists? In that case, I fully agree. There's other similar bad branding moves like "toxic masculinity" or "racism = power + prejudice". I wish they would change those words.

Or do you mean that sociologists who speak about "abolishing whiteness" secretly mean "abolishing the behavior and identity of white people"? No I wouldn't agree with that. I think they mean what they say, and when they tell you their definition of "whiteness", that's what they're referring to. Not some other thing.


What a bizarre bait and switch. Starts talking about browsers allowing malformed HTML and uses that to draw conclusions about allowing certain types of people.


My god, and we thought those english teachers were idiots when they insisted we should learn things like reading comprehension and metaphors.


I understand what the author is trying to say, and I agree with the second half of the text, but the link between both halves is tenuous at best.


It's a poor metaphor. Real tolerance necessitates intolerance - see Marcuse. What is a browser going to do, send malformed HTTP requests and name-and-shame any server who refuses to respond? Servers vs. browsers is not the same type of relationship as people vs. people.

Not to mention that the author's metaphor is implying that certain types of people are malformed.


So these certain types of people should not be allowed? Or what are you trying to say here?


They are saying the logical structure is ill-formed.


What do you mean when you say building crud apps should be automated?


CRUD apps are ridiculously simple and have been in existence my entire life. Yet it is surprisingly difficult to make a basic CRUD and host it somewhere. The bulk of useful but simple business apps are just a CRUD with a tiny bit of customisation and integration around them.

It is true that LLMs make it easier to build these kind of things without having to become a competent programmer first.


I don't know what kind of CRUD apps you work on. The kind of CRUD apps people pay me to work on are not simple.


conventionally, it should have been abstracted by a higher-level language.


E.g using Rails and generate scaffolding. Makes it real fast and easy to make a CRUD app.


Third party benchmarks like terminalbench exist.

W.r.t code changes especially small ones (say 50 lines spread across 5 files), if you can't get an agent to make nearly exactly the code changes you want, just faster than you, that's a you problem at this point. If it maybe would take you 15 minutes, grok-code-fast-1 can do it in 2.
