Long ago I realized I had the ability to see race conditions in source code, at least more easily/accurately than others on average. It was helpful when reviewing the code of others, esp more junior. And I once briefly considered getting a custom T-shirt made with the words "I see race conditions." (in the spirit of the famous scene from The Sixth Sense with "I see dead people.") and wearing it to the office during formal code review meetings. But a friend talked me out of it when he pointed out it might get misinterpreted as being something racist rather than having to do with threading and concurrency.

The whole "I see bugs where others do not" reminded me of that same phenomenon.

authenticate: who are you?

authorize: what do you want?

save money. buy low, sell high. dont become a spendthrift. every dollar put toward something one doesnt need is a dollar which will not be available later for something needed. seek highest income for one's time. etc etc etc

no AI needed

The root problem is that an LLM is like an automated sociopath. One whose source is opaque and effectively secretive. And the dominant AI vendors have a track record of carelessness and poor QA. "Ship it!" then hype.

And they lie and misrepresent, repeatedly, in spite of evidence we can see independently with our own eyes.

what a circus

I've "seen enough" by now

thank you for bringing another TUI into the world!

Upon first read of headline I assumed, not unreasonably, that it was a story about how Amazon.com was paying for some wildlife crossings as a kind of community philanthropy.

thank you for speaking up

yikes

I once received a suspiciously too good to be true job offer, and at the last minute they surprised me by insisting I use a specific laptop they insisted on mailing me. One they would possess prior to me, and "configure" as superuser, before giving to me to use while working for them.

I declined, as diplomatically as I could. I should not have to spell out in precise detail how dangerous to me their proposal was. In the eyes of an adversary/APT predator: ignorant --> naive --> gullible --> prey --> profit. Rinse, repeat, scale up.

awful

AI is making lots of jobs and workplaces worse.

The worst of both worlds.

fair enough

Doom and Quake had drop-down command consoles too that let the user change the game's state -- I've included such features in some of my GUI, realtime engine games too. but I would never promote any as a "command line" game

The video for Duskers 2 in the linked article was of a very graphical, real-time engine style game with sound, music and animation

title is misleading if not abusive of our time

This is one of the stories I wonder how it made the HN front page. Whether an upvote ring or clicks-for-hire service used.

a lot of the modern web could just be plain text files. or simple static HTML or Markdown for links and embedded images.

EV charging. latency optimization tooling. a tech book. a realtime Roguelike action-adventure game. ssh fun/leveraging

I stopped reading early when it became clear the author didn't understand the terms (or perhaps the entire language) they were using. Several indicia.
