I also found it useful to do some one-off batch processing of a big file without thinking of chunking and doing too complicated things. Imagine something like a 60GB file in a custom format that need to be deduplicated. It’s easier to just load it all up in memory and do run the algorithm 2-3x slower using a 50GB swapfile than spend hours to complicate the algorithm.

on Peer reviewing is torture now in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
I fully expect this to become the new normal being pushed by management.
“We identified PR reviews to be blocking our newfound AI-powered efficiency, so we are now mandating all the reviews to done by AI. Also we figured all the developers are now useless since all you do is ask Claude to solve tickets, so you are all fired”
I wonder how long it takes for the first high profile disaster happening because of a policy like that.

on Anthropic’s ‘Watermark’ Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Aug 2026
I should publish a blog post titled “Using Antropic’s Claude is a Perversion of Writing”. If you are taking AI output and thinking it’s good and engaging, you are making a load-bearing mistake.
Joking aside, the criticism can come only after they implement it and we can see if it’s having any effect on the output quality. I doubt it’s going to be detectably worse.
If anybody is feeling so strongly against watermarking even before we can evaluate how it affects the output, I am only thinking that they have ulterior motives or they don’t want to be caught spreading copy-pasted slop.

on uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
Let me preface this by saying that I am generally against AI and I hate LLMs being pushed everywhere, but I currently hate facebook and social media even more than AI.
I think that ad blocking might actually be a good use of a model trained to detect ads: AI models are “black boxes” and it would make it difficult for facebook to find out precisely how the detection works and workaround it. Imagine a tiny classifier running locally, whose only job is to look at a post html or resulting rendered pixels and detecting if it’s an ad or not, and then generating the blocking rules.
It would be quite cool, because it would work on any website without an explicit list of ad-blocking rules that somebody needs to maintain.

Fun fact, in emacs they added

Try to have the company run for a week without the janitor and 1 week without the CEO, and everybody would tell you who’s doing the most important job.
