If I make a mistake it's probably half a dozen lines of code.

If the LLM makes a mistake it's probably thousands of lines of code. Good luck with that.

Thank you for this. Bookmarked.

I am so fucking sick of this. No, you dumbshits -- ALL of us DO NOT use LLM's to write code. Just fucking STOP assuming every developer needs the same crutch that the rest of you can't seem to live without.

I will never use LLM's. Never. Your cope for your own faults is very sad.

Adguard Home running on a Raspberry Pi. Point your router at it for DNS, works like a charm.

Two years now, and it consistently blocks 48% to 54% of all the trash, including _all_ Microsoft domains.

No we don't. I don't care what's at stake; I will never use spicy auto-complete.

I could not agree more. You might love him, you might hate him. But he was a fixture in the Golden Age of Personal Computing.

In my case it's Windows 7. I have to override the useragent in Firefox nowadays; Hacker News now rejects any attempts to login or browse the site if I don't fake the browser useragent.

GeoSpoof could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 115.37.0

On the sites I visit often I use uBlock Origin to make fonts large enough for me to read (damn you, presbyopia!). Otherwise I use Ctrl-+ to increase the font size (Daring Fireball, for example).

Have my angry upvote. :-)

One of my faults is "When somebody tries to explain something I hear 'A' and everyone else in the room hears 'B'". And vice-versa. But if someone can iterate a very VERY rough cut of what they want and hand it off to a design / development team ... well ... damn. That might make everyone's life a lot easier.
