So "it doesn't matter because other people already posted this example"?
Is your intellectual dishonesty professional, or just a hobby?

XSLT is widely used, for example by the US congress: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/19/xslt/
Neither you nor the blog posts author had heard of that before that ridiculous GitHub issue from yesterday. You're all using the exact same link to the exact same page. This is intellectual dishonesty from you, the blog post author and the issue reporter.
Anyone who has read the response to the reporter knows that this is a cherry-picked alternative format. The normal format is an HTML5 page. Search engines just return that instead, so the only way to have found this page is by clicking through that.

It is satire about working in a large corporation in the UK.
Oh no, I got that. It's just satire of the whiny kind instead of actually funny or interesting.

I missed that bit. What did it say?
The first three questions I got were:
- Wishing a colleague a Eid Mubarak, at which the colleague mentions that she's no longer of the faith.
- It's Odd Socks day for Alzheimer awareness. Will you take off a sock? (No -> Linda disapproves.)
- Bring your dog to work day, will you bring treats to work? (No -> it got canceled anyway because of complaints.)
This just sounds like an exhausting attitude to go through life.

I don't even like the solution. "Buy a new programmable keyboard." The keyboard I've got generally works fine. It's not programmable as far as I know, but who knows for sure.
The clipboard has always been annoying. Even today, you often see a "copy to clipboard" or something on a web page, and it never works on Linux. Not as I've got it configured, in any case.

That's weird. It's a pretty widely available Javascript API for years already. Nothing OS specific on the website's side. Are you running an ancient/fringe browser?
I’m still trying to understand what is the biggest group of people that uses local AI (or will)? Students who don’t want to pay but somehow have the hardware? Devs who are price conscious and want free agentic coding?
Local, in my experience, can’t even pull data from an image without hallucinating (Qwen 2.5 VI in that example). Hopefully local/small models keep getting better and devices get better at running bigger ones
It feels like we do it because we can more than because it makes sense- which I am all for! I just wonder if i’m missing some kind of major use case all around me that justifies chaining together a bunch of mac studios or buying a really great graphics card. Tools like exo are cool and the idea of distributed compute is neat but what edge cases truly need it so badly that it’s worth all the effort?
I'm in a corporate environment. There's a study group to see if maybe we can potentially get some value out of those AI tools. They've been "studying" the issue for over a year now. They expect to get some cloud service that we can safely use Real Soon Now.
So, it'll take at least two more quarters before I can actually use those non-local tools on company related data. Probably longer, because sense of urgency is not this company's strong suit.
Anyway, as a developer I can run a lot of things locally. Local AI doesn't leak data, so it's safe. It's not as good as the online tools, but for some things they're better than nothing.
I've never found the Socratic method to work well on any model I've tried it with. They always seem to get stuck justifying their previous answers.
We expect them to answer the question and re-reason the original question with the new information, because that's what a human would do. Maybe next time I'll try to be explicit about that expectation when I try the Socratic method.
With terraform, using a property or a resource that doesn't exist is effectively the same as an API call that does not exist. It's almost exactly the same really, because under the hood terraform will try to make a gcloud/aws API call with your param and it will not work because it doesn't exist. You are making a distinction without a difference. Just because it can be caught at runtime doesn't make it insignificant.
Anyway, I still see hallucinations in all languages, even javascript, attempting to use libraries or APIs that do not exist. Could you elaborate on how you have solved this problem?

Gemini CLI (it's free and I'm cheap) will run the build process after making changes. If an error occurs, it will interpret it and fix it. That will take care of it using functions that don't exist.
I can get stuck in a loop, but in general it'll get somewhere.
Fucking agreed. Anything less than a fire alarm should shut the fuck up.
That includes apps (games) that spend a minute screeching their godawful "mood music" during a loading screen. Or worse, won't allow you to shut the "music" off during a forced minutes long tutorial.
Why Android doesn't have a permission system for sound, I don't know. I'd love to be able to just forbid every app from making any kind of noise.
