Did they ever fix the orientation?

I guess the Donkey Kong is supposed to be one of those batleth wielding skeletors from the holodeck?

Kind of hard to tell because it’s so dark.

Personal projects vs everything else:

Did you want to collaborate with other people? Use something other people like.

Nice shirt there on Acting Ensign Crusher.

Collaboration is a fact of life in software development.

Therefore we must choose tools based not on a single developer’s preference, but by what their colleagues can use effectively.

• Tools that are easy to write bugs with (C/C++)
• Tools that are hard to learn (Perl)
• Tools that are hard to hire for (Perl, Ruby)

All of these should be fixed or shunned in favor of languages that are easier to hire, easier to learn, and easier to debug.

It’s an attempt at market segmentation. Those who really want to play will pay full price. Less ardent fans wait for a sale.

Did your friend make you want it enough to pay full price?

No, this is a problem of bad error handling for queries it cannot answer.

A search engine would give empty results instead of hallucinating.

If it doesn’t know how to answer a shitty question, it shouldn’t try to BS the answer.

No answer is better than a wrong answer delivered confidently.

LOL no. Bots can pass Captchas, but I hit the back button.

I pooh-poohed ChatGPT when it first came out so I gave it another crack at a technical issue I’ve been avoiding.

Gave me an outdated answer.

Gave me another outdated answer to a URL that doesn’t exist.

Gave me the answer I told it won’t work in the initial prompt.

Scolded me for swearing at it.

This is what’s supposed to replace search engines?

You are that guy in the comic about a modern person blaming serfs for the persistence of feudalism.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

When I was a teen I thought she was just awful, but rewatching when I have a spouse and kids I see she’s trying to make the best of a difficult situation and they are a realistically flawed couple.

Writers used this to foreshadow Sisko’s decision to send Rugal to live on Cardassia: The Federation is well meaning but ham-fisted.

The shared discomfort allows Miles to overcome his prejudice and find common ground with Rugal.

How many times has he dislocated his shoulder on the holodeck?

Wouldn’t be the first time MS tried to coerce people onto W11.

My current Win10 gaming machine will be my last Windows computer. Will this run on Win10 or Linux?

It’s frustrating that the article deals treats the problem like the mistake was including Martin’s name in the data set, and muses that that part isn’t fixable.

Martin’s name is a natural feature of the data set, but when they should be taking about fixing the AI model to stop hallucinations or allow humans to correct them, it seems the only fix is to censor the incorrect AI response, which gives the implication that it was saying something true but salacious.

Most of these problems would go away if AI vendors exposed the reasoning chain instead of treating their bugs as trade secrets.
