swader999··on AMD's random number generator can't generate a 0?
There's an edge case somewhere that will affect a real user when you can't get a zero. Forecasting simulations perhaps?

Betty from accounting will have words.
swader999··on Microsoft director: AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
This is probably the best way to read it: Do not presume to correct another person while remaining blind to your own faults. Examine and correct yourself first; only then are you in a position to help your brother with his.

It literally is meant as a beam, a bit of exaggeration for emphasis.

So we are meant to assess and help others but first must correct our own selves.

That's a good looking kitty!
swader999··on The most important product decision is what you don't build
The one I get constantly is we want "custom reporting". Well what the hell is that really? Why, why, why do you need that? Then I just build a new feature they will actually use and defer "custom reporting" for another month.

Welcome to management.

Hopefully you get a decked out command center too.
swader999··on Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?
Did you negotiate extra hard for the 'Incident Commander' title? I'm a bit jealous to be honest.
swader999··on Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI
At our small company we are hooked on individual subs. But yeah a larger dev shop can't really pull that off and I get how they'd be dying by the token cost.
