My brother, you have come to the right house! In fact, we’re about to watch a great family film on that very topic, if you’d care to join us.

The right is ramping up attacks on Wikipedia for “partisan bias” right now. If you think Wikipedia has partisan bias, it’s a really good indicator that your beliefs are out of line with reality.

Sure, but it’s subjective. Like I’m Kantian in my interactions with LLMs for that exact reason. But I don’t expect anyone else to be.
I think the Kantian view can be viewed as “Good advice, but it’s still a personal decision” and we shouldn’t get judgy at people for the choices they make that don’t affect us when we don’t have the full context of their life situation. Especially when it comes to sexuality and kinks. What you do with your p-zombie in the privacy of your own bedroom is actually none of my business at the end of the day.

“I want to pollinate you and cover you in pine cones,” he whispered and she felt her sap run hot with desire. She shivered from more than the cool spring wind on her bark. His needles moved against hers in the breeze, tickling and prickling her deliciously and she could tell his wood was knotted and hard as his sticky sap dripped from it. She craved to feel him against her, branches and bark and overwhelming passion. And then she felt it, the microspores of his grainy discharge, carrying his potent gametophytes, exploded into her, settling among her needles. Her bark tingled with exquisite, syngamic release as her branches quivered in the cool spring wind and deep inside her ovules she felt his gametes fuse with hers. “Yes,” she whispered in the wind, “Take me! Fertilize me! Give me your nuts!”
“You know I’m your half brother,” he whispered as she shuddered in climax. “I don’t care,” she whispered back. “That makes it hotter.”

I should have said “Post Enterprise.” Discovery lost me mostly during the section 31 season and completely during the time skip season.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 5 weeks ago:
Somewhere in Season 3 is where I finally completely lost interest. It’s been slowly coming for me for a while. It wasn’t even a conscious decision, I stopped watching mid episode and haven’t cared to start again. I don’t even really remember what was going on (some Gorn related thing). At some point I had pulled out my phone and stopped paying attention.
Apparently, this season seems to be controversial, some people really love it and that’s great. Not here to hate on it or try to take that away from them. But I think post Discovery Trek really isn’t for me and I’m just feeling done.

Well yeah, they can’t keep training their models if all the available data is slop from their models.

- Comment on Why front-end development will persist 2 months ago:
I’m working with a team where my business partner and I are external consultants, but they also have internal developers (who are mostly very junior and need hand holding with things like using git).
Anyway, the CEO (without talking to us first) hired a pure vibe coder with no software engineering experience to build the user interface. Super nice guy, super easy to work worth, super eager to learn but OH MY GOD THIS CODE.
A lot of my work is / has been in cybersecurity (mostly for the space industry / NASA adjacent projects, but also less recently for start ups and fortune 500 companies). This app is the worst I’ve ever seen. The AI writes things SO weirdly. 30k lines of typescript to do something we could have done in 6k. Reams of dead code. Procedural code to do repeatable tasks instead of functions / classes (10 different ways of doing the same thing). API keys / data base credentials committed to git. API Keys stored in .env but then ALSO just hardcoded into the actual API calls. auditability
AND no. At the end of the day, it wasn’t cheaper or fast than it would have been to hire us to do it right. And the tech debt now accumulated to secure / maintain this thing? Security is a long term requirement, we’re bringing a buddy of mine in to pentest this thing next week, I expect him to find like 10-12 critical vulns. Wow.
tl;dr: If a project requires security, stability, auditability, or the need to quickly understand how something works / why something happens, DON’T vibe code it. You won’t save money OR time in the long run. If you’re project DOESN’T need any of those things (and never will), then by all means I guess, knock yourself out.

- Comment on What's the story in your field? Here's mine 3 months ago:
TBH, 98% security problems in the Python ecosystem boil down to mission critical projects using old versions of libraries or straight up unmaintained libraries, where the library in question is 100+ megabytes of who knows what, but the project only imports one function, the utility of which the devs could have recreated themselves in 15 minutes without needing to use the library, especially lately when everyone just imports what the AI tells them to import.
