Grumpy, middle aged Aussie software developer who also "lifts heavy shit and puts it back down again".

  1. Sounds like u/ConfectionConscious6 is jealous they didn't get to do it first.

    I say well done to the Chinese person for going ahead and maximising their use of the system. I mean, it's not like rate limiting is a novel idea.

  2. One trick I learned at Uber (where this got popular)

    When writing an email that is longer than ~3 paragraphs / ~12 sentences: before sending, STOP

    Re-read the whole thing

    Add a new line to the top starting with tl;dr

    Summarize the whole thing in one sentence

    You're welcome

  3. Bummed for you that you lost this week's, but I actually listened to the re-run, which I rarely do. It was as good as the first time. Maybe even better because a few things stuck me differently with time. I'm going back for a third time just to mull a few thinking points.

  4. Wait for people to realise there's an upper limit on what LLMs can produce, coupled with increasing blocking of bots (so scaping is hampered), and as tech advances the LLMs lose sight of the advancements, so in 5 years the best we get from AI is 7 versions out of date. But it costs 10x today's $.

  5. Windows is increasing a fucking shit show. I've been using it since 3.11 and I reckon I say "fucking Windows" at least twice/week. Monitors randomly dropping out for a few seconds. Fucking overnight restarts every month that make me lose place. Rendering issue.

    Last thing I want is AI in the mix.

  6. I came across Breen via parody reviews from Space Ice (www.youtube.com/@SpaceIce) and RedEye Reviews (www.youtube.com/@RedEyeReviews).

    Great, relatively small channels worth checking for other wackiness.

    Space Ice is all about awesome movies. It's also about awful movies.

Whether it's Jean Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or even the terrible Steven Seagal. Y...

  7. I'm bloody pissed that these companies are making billions of dollars (ignoring the fact they're all losing money at the moment) off the back of everyone else's hard work. Without the collected shared knowledge, LLMs wouldn't exist. But what are these companies giving back to the producers? Nada!
