Functionally, when someone will not engage in good faith, what’s the difference between a human and a bot?

If someone is not arguing cordially and supporting their position with facts, I don’t care if they’re human or not, they’re a bot.

I guess I needed to specify that a phone should still be a phone.

I apologize for my overestimation.

FWIW - I consider “notifications” a harmful anti-pattern.

There is no day-to-day thing that requires a notification.

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

…

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency’s smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

Have you … ever watched Blade Runner?

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn’t anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

Otherwise, what you’re saying has the same or less value than the example.

How would you expect to recreate them when the models are given random perturbations such that the results usually vary?

My brother in business, I see you.

Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn’t believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.

It’s not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It’s really all the people that need to feel they’re somehow above others.

I use Tidal. It may not be much better than Spotify, but it’s better than Spotify.

History is littered with companies that decided they should “milk” their customers instead of providing new and innovative products. They usually don’t last all that long, but you’re right that the current board members might not gaf about any kind of longer term existence.

I don’t want my money used for shit like this so Roku and I are done regardless.of if they exercise this patent or not.

Personally looking at dumb panels and building OSMC machines to run them.

As a former Roku fan, forced arbitration or a brick was the breaking point. Roku can fuck off.

Used to recommend Roku to others. I will never buy anything from them or recommend them to anyone again.

Someday maybe boards will figure out that “business” people have no idea what they are doing.

I am who my name says and I have a degree in CS if that’s what you are asking.

There are still some errors where you just need to know the fix. In that case it’s a baseball bat.

I get the joke.

But if, like me, you actually feel this here’s how I got away from it: make sure you actually understand things.

Read the error message over and over again, look up the words, understand what it is saying.

If something isn’t working, start reading the code and making sure you understand what each line is doing.

It will feel incredibly slow and painful at first. Eventually you will strengthen those.muscles, however, and it’ll become second nature.

Then you can cut and paste with confidence! 🤣

There are a lot of open source LLMs being developed, ones you can run at home on your own data.
