just another dev

Damn, those are not rookie numbers!

I’m not convinced that was intentional though. Tracking through cookies was pretty unconventional back in 1999, and “having to accept” cookies definitely wasn’t a thing back then.

Yeah, I don’t think they would have been fired if they had just held a vigil without shitting all over their employers brands.

It’s easy to nitpick all the details in the video, but keep in mind that 2 years ago generative AI videos consisted mostly of shape shifting mosaics that vaguely resembled the things they were supposed to be. And now we’re down to “in this frame the 10x10 pixel airplane has a third wing”.

That doesn’t excuse the use of copyrighted material to get to this point, mind you. But to claim that this tech is going nowhere is just a contextless circlejerk.

Yay, mob justice!

If only people could have known. Like, by reading the only text that is shown on the incognito tab.

The point is that you then take off earlier on Friday.

The token limit for gpt 4o is over a million. Wtf.

That’s a a bit too absolute way to look at it.

From their point of view the goal isn’t to abolish human involvement, but to minimise the cost. So if they can do the job at the same quality with a quarter of the personnel through AI assistance for less cost, obviously they’re gonna do that.

At the same time, just because humans having crappy jobs is the current way we solve the problem of people getting money, doesn’t mean we should keep on doing that. Basic income would be a much nicer solution for that, for example. Try to think a bit less conservatively.

I’m not sure how long ago that was, but LLM context sizes have grown exponentially in the past year, from 4k tokens to over a hundred k. That doesn’t necessarily affect the quality of the output, although you can’t expect it to summarize what it can’t hold on memory.

It has been five years since it was created though.

… And he doesn’t exist.

And yet, he’s the one that’s squinting.

If getting a Dropbox account is too difficult for them, I seriously wonder why they’d be subscribed here, or reading articles about password management in browsers.

If you never, ever need your passwords outside of your home, that’s great advice - it’s as secure as can be against digital theft. Less so against fire though, and backups are out of the question.

I guess now is as good a time as any for them to start using a proper password manager.

Personally, I recommend Keepass - it has multiple clients for all platforms, and you can keep the file in sync with a program of your own choosing, like Dropbox, syncthing or whatever you like.

Oh really.

I wonder which part of his non-programming life taught him binary.

Because obviously when you train an LLM you include a large dataset of api keys for your new private service or the settings to generate them.

“But I use Jetbrains…” :(
