No they are absolutely everywhere. Most people here don’t even know what HCF. This article is nonsense and paints it like some euphemism applied to modern coding. HCF was a joke and no actual implementation was proven. Fucking bots.

It’s guaranteed to start 20 minutes or more after the listed start time. I get my seat and I don’t even show up early.

Quite a bit in the early showing for good movies. Project Heil Mary has continued to sell all the good seats out and I’m bad at planning ahead for entertainment. It usually isn’t obvious because most of the movies have been atrocious in the last several years.

That explains why it kept changing the estimated received date. It was doing weird things.

It’s part of the change management process that all code is reviewed. This is needed as per several different compliance agreements. What’s probably happened is poor peer reviews from other junior engineers gets missed. That’s a lot of code reviews to send upstream.

The wild fires are entirely because of lack of management. This is why insurance companies noped out. The crazies believe it is an environment impact to manage the lands and then it all burns down. At least someone can blame the fires on something else. I guess it’s a win?

Such wrong think! I think any forum that adopts this would be worth studying for simply helping to create a score to rate how soulless a site is. Maybe they could make the inverse that would rewrite whole forums for happy thoughts. Rose tinted glasses client? The name needs work.

These types of tools always show the authors bias. It’s a good strategy to quickly move on when found.

My friends kids have access to his home servers. They don’t get to roam on the internet. It’s shocking to think parents might structure their child’s lives.

I bullet pointed out some ideas on cobbling together existing tooling for identification of misleading results. Like artificially elevating a particular node of data that you want the llm to use. I have a theory that in some of these cases the data presented is intentionally incorrect. Another theory in relation to that is tonality abruptly changes in the response. All theory and no work. It would also be interesting to compare multiple responses and filter through another agent.

Their train industry was built on ripping off companies they forced into poor agreements. They have wrecked industries with technological theft. I suppose it’s lawful from the CCP perspective.

New comment by BikiniPrince in "Why senior engineers let bad projects fail"

BikiniPrince — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 06:20:28 +0000

That’s crazy sauce. I don’t lose.

The one time a project was heading to failure I went to the VP and explained the sabotage I was seeing. This was a very lucrative contract and failure was not an option.

He pulled that manager and his team so far off they had a new office on the moon. They were pulling non-sense like submitting the pseudo code I white boarded as a commit.

Two weeks in and I’m still explaining to them the plan.

Despite the setback I pulled off a mammoth project and strategically moved in devs to areas where they could succeed. If they slowed me down they were given the boot.

Success sometimes just takes drive.
