Lots of good ideas in @jamesshore's article on testing:
"This pattern language... doesn’t use broad tests, doesn’t use mocks, doesn’t ignore infrastructure, and doesn’t require architectural changes."

@niplav Mind. Blown.
<There's a secret argument which is convincing, but I promised not to tell it to you> is one of the worst things.
I am schocked by the w3schools redemption arc.
It would be nice if there was a reliable framework for judging changes made to art in order to sell better in the marketplace.
What's reasonable and what's bad. What about decisions made based on marketplace concerns at the time of creation vs in revision.
"The Early Internet Era" aka when you first got access to a computer in a place where your parents couldn't look over your shoulder at any moment.
@flengyel I use a TOTP app.
But if you know what TOTP is, you're already ahead of the person who needs to hear the message that SMS 2FA is not good.
For people just entering, SMS 2-factor authentication is only one flavor of 2-factor authentication, and one known to be less secure.
If you have the option, you should use a 2-factor app, of which there are many.
@hrefna my understanding is that some telcos had bots just constantly 2fa-ing so they could collect the SMS fees.

Modify /bin/ld to play the Sword Art Online "Link Start!" sound effect before it starts linking large binaries.
@AraAraBot I feel like you have definitely failed your mandate here.

@niplav mine or theirs?
(No for both, generally. With an exception for cute blush.)
@niplav I'm not sure how much of the magic of LLM is that the input and output are both text.
If we can get something that learns from videos, they may be more value in that.
I expect that the text -> art bots will have similar limitations, but probably decoupled from the text -> text ones.
Today on the discussion board:
It's very important not to misgender... Ungoliant, spider-demon who plunged Valinor into darkness by destroying the two trees.
Ungoliant's pronouns are she/her.
LLMs are not sentient, and are not people, but behaving towards them in a way that it would be bad to behave towards people is probably bad for you.
Training yourself to be cruel is bad for you.
Reminder that you shouldn't listen to me about anything. I'm a dilettante and my knowledge is a mile wide an an inch deep.
In 30 years, LLMs will be used for short text generation in products that aren't considered to be AI anymore.
