godd2··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
> Just because we found a "cheat" button doesn't mean it's wrong for others to want to know.

One difference perhaps is that you think using LLMs is cheating, while others do not.

godd2··on Typing Speed Test, but for Developers
Dude, just use vim.

Counterpoint: Adding in a custom, proprietary interpretation of your data makes your complex task more complicated.

> Why do they outsource something that is meant to have been written by a human

Says who? The point of the summary is so that I don't have to go look at the diff and figure out what happened.

godd2··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6
People still understand metallurgy and casting even though machines make all the paperclips.

> After about 4 hours and $75

Huh? The max plan is $200/month. How are you spending $75 in 4 hrs?

godd2··on John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists
> and this is the problem

Why? The software is still there and you can still go choose to use it.

Copyright is about originality and expression, not effort. US copyright law does not use "Sweat of the Brow" doctrine.

Ruby has always been typed.
godd2··on Bad Apple but it's 6,500 regexes that I search for in Vim
> I wonder if it's using the background tile map for this instead of sprites

Yes, it's all background tiles being loaded continuously from the SD card. We created the tiles with a custom tile de-maker.

godd2··on Bad Apple but it's 6,500 regexes that I search for in Vim
The bitrate of the PCM is determined based on how quickly you can write a byte to the register. The fastest you could write general data is once every 6 cycles, which gives ~298 MHz of sample rate, so 44.2 kHz is easily doable if that's all you want to do with the CPU.
godd2··on Possible to detect an industrial civilization in geological record? (2018)
There are craters on the moon that are billions of years old. Also, we could probably bury tablets and artifacts.
godd2··on Possible to detect an industrial civilization in geological record? (2018)
I'm somewhat surprised he didn't talk about evidence of space-faring ancient civilizations. If humans perish and a new intelligent species comes around in millions of years, they would be able to find stuff we've left on the moon, provided we pepper it all over its surface so as to survive any future meteor impacts.

godd2··on Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support
> scales nicely to whatever size you make it

In Programmer mode if you type in a number larger than 32 bits and the window is scaled to its smallest size, the lower row of binary is cut off a little bit.

godd2··on Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support
You cannot enter fractional values in programmer mode.

This is reasonable, but what is incredibly annoying is that when you type in a number while in Programmer mode, if you then change to Scientific mode, it blows away the number you typed in.

godd2··on Graham's Number Is Too Big to Tell How Big It Is
No. Even if you wrote a single digit in each planck volume of the observable universe, you'd run out of space.

It is safe to say that there are far fewer than a Graham's Number of things in here with us.

Looks like you need to indent that code

  (1..5).map{|n| n**n}.reduce(:*) == 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
Or if we're golfing

  (1..5).reduce{|t,n|t*n**n}
godd2··on Using Git Wrong
A linked list is a binary tree, and using git in a centralized fashion is a legitimate use of git.

Not everyone wants a distributed version control system, and not every team is ready for a more complicated process.

godd2··on Sundar Pichai Should Resign as Google’s C.E.O
The disingenuous debunkings?

> The article perniciously misrepresents the nature and significance of known sex differences to advance what appears to be a covert alt-right agenda.

He must be a sneaky alt-righter! How else could he disagree with me?

godd2··on Sundar Pichai Should Resign as Google’s C.E.O
The median income for a pediatrician is ~170k vs the median income of software engineer at ~80k, but 75% of pediatricians are women.

So no, it's not only the "less well-paid" jobs. And even if it were, a lot of the lowest paid jobs are almost entirely men, like garbage collectors and construction workers.

godd2··on Sundar Pichai Should Resign as Google’s C.E.O
> No, but the the entire point of that essay was to advance the idea that women are less successful because of their biology

He never claimed that the women in tech are worse at tech than the men in tech. He just claimed that there would be fewer of them.

There is a branch of Terminator which supports tmux integration.
godd2··on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
Just because women are the ones who birth children doesn't mean that I brought up "an example that's a biological function primarily to do with women".

64% of practicing gynecologists are men, but only women have vaginas.

You don't have to give birth to children to be a pediatrician or a gynecologist.

godd2··on Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo
Women make up 75% of pediatricians. If I say that this is because men aren't as good at pediatrics, am I saying that men are stupid?
