SSRIs did the same for me.

Ship building, like most other industries, is unionized in Finland and I would be surprised if it wasn't the same in Germany.

More likely that the offense by twatter was more egregious than what the courts are used to.

At least OpenAI creates more noise than useful output if you try to make it tackle a problem this way.

Sedetary life style combined with lots of sausages, red meat an butter does that to a people. Alcohol is also a huge problem in Finland. Not uncommon for men to drink beer daily.

You lose all credibility with the butter is good nonsense. You can't even buy the unhealthy margarines anywhere. They have not been a thing for decades.

Poro (reindeer in finnish) is specifically developed to be used in Finnish. GPT etc. general models struggle with less used languages. Unfortunately this sale likely means this development will cease.

More sedetary life. Before most people worked in physically active jobs and past times tended to be more active too. If you work in an office and watch TV when you get home, your energy use is obviously smaller than working in a field for 12 hours.

Apparently more sedetary life does not effect the apetite of most people.

I'm qurious what that code was doing that could be just moved to the backend. Usually forms have some validation for a better experience with the final validation on the server. Did you get rid of that and just show an error if the submission failed?

The article reads like all the little annoyances is what is wrong when the doc is expected to work almost 24/7 for days on end. No amount of software improvement will make any realistic improvements.

It's insane that a truck driver _must_ have 8 hours of sleep before work (they should, not arguing against it), but a surgeon can work with a couple of naps for days.

IntelliJ also has "full line completion" built in that uses a local model. I've found it rather good and it's the only in-IDE code generation I use. It does not get in the way and usually gives me exactly what I want.

That is some custom theme they have on their VsCode though. Not a very good example to use.

That seems to be an universal issue everywhere.

Authorization code? Do you mean authentication?

ghnws — Mon, 27 May 2024 16:59:48 +0000

Having two almost identical terms that mean completely different things is not a very good idea. Also here you are explaining what the words mean, when "login" and "permission" are immediately obvious. Most people don't speak english natively either.

Thank you. Unbeliveable that twitter is apparently the best place to post these "long" stories...
