If everyone already knows something, can a new report really expose it?

As someone who owns my home (a moderately small 2-bedroom condo), I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of work to do to it that I really don’t want to do. Nobody is going to do it for me.

Sometimes I wish I was renting ngl, but rent would be even higher than my mortgage for the same sized place.

Imagine having a different opinion.

You could never.

Edit: I don’t even know why I responded. You are clearly incapable of having a real discussion. I’m done.

This is not true at all. Good landlords also take care of the property, providing what is functionally a “home as a service” with none of the hassle of maintaining it.

There are bad landlords. Most rentals are owned by them. There are precious few that are not.

To be clear, there are some awful landlords out there. I agree with your point, but I don’t want to diminish the dislike of many landlords.

As a retail wholesaler carrying most major brands, I think they just stock whatever people are buying. You can buy bulk Nestlé products there for example.

Best way to vote for products is still with your wallet. I’ve seen some ethical alternatives there before. Not sure what more you can do other than directly contacting them though.

Can’t say I own a copy of Mein Kampf, though I’ve skimmed parts of it.

It’s one of those books that I’ll read if I feel like reading at some point, but I don’t really want a copy because of how it looks to own one lol.

Satanic Bible’s a lot better since I don’t mind associating myself with Satanism somewhat despite not being religious at all.

My bad. I assumed the web has waves with how many people surf it daily.

Can you convert that to bananas?

Wild assumption.

I don’t worship. That’s just plain stupid, at least in my opinion. Books can be read for the sake of reading them. Knowledge isn’t some weird forbidden apple on a tree. It’s something used to make informed decisions in the world.

Please seek therapy. The psychosis is strong with this. The “us vs them” mentality is nothing short of cultish brainwashing. Worship is fine, belief and faith are fine, community building is even cool, but turning it into a cult just justifies my decision to distance myself from religion more.

I don’t consider myself religious at all, but it’s a good read. Nice contrast to the BS that was shoved down my throat growing up.

As someone with the Satanic Bible sitting next to my bed, I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

To be fair, could be a reference to Peter Thiel’s deranged ramblings.

What’s idiotic is it makes Trump look worse because this supposed failure was his own.

Saying nothing would have resulted in this being a 24hr headline instead.

Trump’s obsession over who vetted the dude is idiotic to begin with. Who cares? Vetting isn’t a perfect process, and as long as there’s no pattern (not that this situation was indicative of issues with the vetting process anyway), then being fallible is usually forgivable.

Instead, they’re turning this from a relatively minor headline to a massive failure somehow of the Trump administration.

Why not?

Are you asking the author or people in general? If the author didn’t answer “why not” for you, then I can.

Yes, I’ve used Claude. Let’s skip that part.

If you don’t know how to write or identify defensive code, you can’t know if the LLM generated defensive code. So in order for a LLM to be trusted to generate defensive code, it needs to do so 100% of the time, or very close to that.

You seem to be under the impression that Claude does so, but you presumably can tell if code is written with sufficient guards and tests. You know to ask the LLM to evaluate and revise the code. Someone without experience will not know to ask that.

Speaking now from my experience, after using Claude for work to write tests, I came out of that project with no additional experience writing tests. I had to do another personal project after that to learn the testing library we used. Had that work project given me sufficient time to actually do the work, I’d have spent some time learning the testing library we used. That was unfortunately not the case.

The tests Claude generated were too rigid. It didn’t test important functionality of the software. It tested exact inputs/outputs using localized output values, meaning changing localizations was potentially enough to break tests. It tested cases that didn’t need to be tested, like whether certain dependency calls were done in a specific order (those calls were done in parallel anyway). It wrote some good tests, but a lot of additional tests that weren’t needed, and skipped some tests that were needed.

As a tool to help someone who already knows what they’re doing, it can be useful. It’s not a good tool for people who don’t know what they’re doing.

Well he’s the only Tesla worth mentioning. Even South America doesn’t care about the other one that supposedly exists, it seems.

Nikola Tesla? Highly influential person, made AC a thing. He passed away 80ish years ago though so not surprised you haven’t heard of him.
