How useful is this metric if we don't know which LLM produced each MR?

There could be massive differences in quality between LLMs.

Also, vibe coding has really become a skill in itself. Does it allow the average non-programmer to go to production easily (and likely have bugs/flaws)? Yes. But as someone who used to be a programmer and just fell out of skill with all of it, I've found that what I do still have is a keen sniff test for good vs bad, and can guide the direction and architecture with proper planning.

Garbage in, garbage out still applies.

At best this would be 1.7x more _discovered_ bugs. The average PR (IMO) is hardly checked. AI could have 10x as many real issues on PRs, but we're just bad at reviewing PRs.

Couldn't this be true in the other direction as well? Anecdotally I see developers putting a lot more scrutiny into vibe coded PRs, while AI code tends to be highly commented (by the AI) and potentially easier to read.

I've seen way more human comments of "I don't know what this does but if I remove it everything breaks" in systems.

any dropoff in usage limits for you recently? https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/17/anthropic-tightens-usage-l...

cant help but think that you guys yelling about it so loudly from the rooftops is really really not helping your case lol

I started on the Pro plan a week ago and was already contemplating jumping to Max. When I hit a limit yesterday I upgraded to Max and hit a limit again before seeing the news of the changed usage limit.

For what it's worth, everything seems fixed today.

The biggest benefit I see so far is the integration of ChatGPT into Siri to answer questions for me while I'm driving instead of giving me "I'm sorry, I can't show you that while driving"

The password is "I'm a teapot" right?

core-utility · a year ago

I definitely thought about it but that seemed a bit too crackable

I named my IoT Wireless SSID to 418. Thought I was clever, even if nobody else understands it.

One of the many benefits of owning my own email server:

- I have a catch all setup to forward all emails to specific user on mail server

- able to setup adhoc email addresses for each online service (ie, iarch@example.com)

- able to claim example.com in haveibeenpwned

Now I get breach emails from hibp for the whole domain. Unfortunately, I was exposed in this IA breach

You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.

core-utility commented on Wyoming bans conservation bidders from oil and gas lease sales wyofile.com/wyoming-bans-... · Posted by u/toomuchtodo

“Ultimately, the winning bidder in last year’s controversial auction was Casper-based Kirkwood Oil and Gas — the same company that had nominated the parcel — at $19 per acre for the 640-acre tract. When the company later learned that it had been competing against a conservation group, the owners cried foul and claimed they were duped into paying an artificially inflated price.”

The seller is upset they got a good deal? (Counterpoint: these are public leases being sold for the public good.)

Looks like the winning move is for conservation groups to start E&P arms. Snarling the process up in years of litigation might be as good as buying and sitting on it.

Devil's advocate, if Tesla camps on eBay listings for used Teslas for sale and places bids they have no intention of following through on for the sole purpose of driving others to bid higher and keeping the brand value high, this would be seen as manipulative by the end-buyers (though at the end of the day, they did ultimately bid and agree to the price they won at)

This will probably get a lot of hate, but for most of my questions where I'm looking for a simple answer on something, I just use ChatGPT. Gives me the answer much more hassle-free than a search engine would.

I don't think a healthy government should be deciding what software we install. I think a healthy government should be enforcing monopoly laws and data portability laws that would have fostered the growth of a TikTok-like in the USA.

If we had a healthy ecosystem of interconnected platforms and laws that worked to counter the extreme network effects of social media platforms we wouldn't have to worry about a major content stream getting piped through our largest geopolitical rival.

core-utility · 2 years ago

They're not deciding what software we install, did you read the article? The bill would require ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) to stop sending all this user data to China where it is ultimately used by the CCP. I'd argue that this bill doesn't go far enough, and companies of a certain size should be required to home US citizen data in the US, where it's subject to our laws and regulations.
