If that claim were even reasonable in the first place you would have to accept that they were idiots long before by allowing bugs to be introduced in the first place.


The presence or introduction of bugs in software does not mean it’s developers are ‘idiots’ unless practically everyone who has ever written code is an ‘idiot’


Yes I didn't say this. I'm using it to show how absurd the original claim was.


How do you "throw away" the bloat when it becomes embedded through the code base? Is GitHub just going to rollback to some commit from 3 years ago?


Commenting just so I can check later what he comes back with.


Simply use a browser plugin (or any other mechanism) that invokes the agent when the "HATCHA" appears.


“Simply”


Number 2 is the thing, right?

Why bother asking? Is a recruiter going to fly out to my high school and see if they can get records? Interview a teacher that still works there?

You also are likely selecting not for high school calculus geniuses, but for people willing to lie. Presumably they ask because there is a more desired answer, so if you want to get a job you should provide the more desirable answer.


Those are other great points! Yeah, as if my high school has any record of my transcript. After maybe a decade at most, that's about as relevant to an HS grad's life as their shoe size at the time.

I wouldn't personally lie about it, because 1) I'm not going to lie, and 2) I do not want any job where my coworkers are rewarded for lying. But for anyone who just wants to get in and extract some salary while it's there for the taking, morals be damned, that would be the obvious course of action.


+1 to this method. Prior to having a reserved ~6 hour slot of sleep the lack of sleep was getting BAD.


Well they aren't people churning out 40k words :)

I've spent very little time on ao3, but I imagine it's slightly better than RR where seemingly a mark of value is "huge length (word count and chapters)" with weekly updates.


The metro is a much less stressful experience for me with noise cancellation on. Without them the noise in tunnels just makes me anxious. The outside tracks are all fine without them though.

And for walking around - it's the traffic noise that bothers me, not people. Traffic noise can just be so loud along some roads (and at certain times of day) that it makes me not want to walk at all.


Traffic and honking can be quite annoying. I find the AirPods Pro knock down quick a bit of noise even when off just because of their tips, but when I want it even quieter I use the noise canceling.

Some places aren’t loud but most U.S. cities are. I’m going to Paris this summer, and I probably won’t use AirPods while walking around.


Paris is one of the loudest cities in Europe that I experienced. Bring your noice cancelling headphones.

These criticisms of git always seems so shallow to me.

'add' tells git to start tracking some file(s)

'commit' tells git to save the currently tracked files

'push' says "upload my changes to some other location." Git isn't dropbox magically 'rsync'ing the directory to some server.

'pull' says "download any changes from some other location." Same deal as push.

That should satisfy the majority of git casuals that get frustrated with it. You should learn the tools of your trade, and version control (specifically git) is one of the tools of the software trade. If you work adjacent to software why is it so hard to learn a little about git?


I hate the word mansplaining but this comment could go into the dictionary as an example.

The point was that this bothered me when I used git for the very first time (what is it like 15 years ago at this point) and indeed did not understand it yet. Hope your comment made you feel better about yourself at least.


> The point was that this bothered me when I used git for the very first time

and that is fine. From your original comment, you "just" wanted to save things and got confused why you had to `add`, `commit` and `push`. Its just that you didn't know that git isn't a word processor that gives you a way to save your work - you've done that already when you saved the file with your editor.

When I came to git, I was also confused why commit and push are different steps - so much work, I thought. Until one day it finally hit - wait, this lets me keep "saving" my work locally until I'm ready to upload it - which is when I push.


> I was also confused why commit and push are different steps

I think most people think about file access in the word processor terms, like you mentioned. You "edit," "save," "upload," and "download." Actions like that.

Then they have to use git for the first time and the terms/actions are really foreign. It's likely made worse if they have experience with auto-syncing file software, since that software does the whole remote management process for them.


> converting all subscription customers to api customers would yield 10x boost in revenue immediately so the demand is there

If OpenAI started charging all subscription users API pricing they would lose the majority of users.

If they increase the price demand will plummet. They have no moat and there are competitors.
