Recently listened to a podcast that claimed "cleaning up code generated by LLM requires lower skilled workers than writing it". I'd argue the opposite is true. To me debugging is way more skill intensive than writing code. And that doesn't even account for a class of bugs that have no thought and intention behind them.

I swear, some of the same people who say “they/them” personal pronouns are impossible to use and too confusing spent their entire youth playing video games that called the player “they/them” simply because it was a little too hard to code in gender-specific pronouns within production constraints, or include double audio.

I wrote a post about bug reporting

If you make a dad joke without being a father are you a faux pa?

Remember seeing something about GPT-4 doing well on standardized tests? It turns out it may have memorized the answers.

on linux everything is a file, which means you do everything through normal file operations like read, write, and ioctl(fd, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB2, &drm_fb2);

I really like the texture I'm getting here.

Serious question: how do I go about petitioning my local government to consider municipal broadband? I feel like I could get my neighbors on board after the two hours-long prime-time outages in the past couple of weeks on top of the predatory pricing and coercive tactics of Comcast.

Trademarks are ubiquitous in the modern world, and they’ve become an important component of political activism. The Supreme Court shouldn’t take away one of the strongest shields activists have against bogus trademark claims. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/eff-tells-supreme-court-trademark-law-doesnt-trump-first-amendment

It never ceases to amaze me that it's always the code that's so simple that I almost don't bother testing it that ends up being trivially broken when I inevitably write the test anyway.

Noam Chomsky on ChatGPT: It’s "Basically High-Tech Plagiarism" and "a Way of Avoiding Learning"

The menu of "languages spoken at home" from Providence Public Schools—clearly a list gotten off some other source—includes Middle and Old English amongst many other gems. Sorely tempted to pick one of thæse—or "DRAVIDIAN (OTHER)"—and see what þings showeð up.

@cwebber this is extremely funny to me

Yeah, this tends to be my attitude... Becoming a browserdev is essentially my way of saying just how serious I am.

@rysiek So... is this yet another case of #C implementations leading to consequences that'd be easily prevented by use of #LanguageBasedSecurity?

From the sound of it, it's a vulnerable library being integrated.

Nothing implemented in pure Python or PHP should even be able to segfault.
