Is your container using BusyBox? if so, then it’s not even real wget, it’s just the disgusting awful busybox version.
God I hate BusyBox.


Regex absolutely counts imo. I love it, especially when you combine it with a parser like, say, parsimonious.
Every time I use Mcmaster-Carr’s website, I weep at the lost potential for places like Costco. I wish every store’s website was like Mcmaster-Carr.


God, the fucking comment spam drives me absolutely fucking nuts. I used to enjoy reading 2 consecutive changes with 12 lines of comments because it meant I was in for a hell of a story of woe and misery. Now, it’s just the fucking slop machine doing its thing.
With regards to LLMs being good enough to do our jobs, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. Token prediction is a neat trick, but you actually need something that can reason and understand to replace human intellect, and nothing I’ve seen on the horizon appears to be capable of that.


Yes, there’s far more code to review and the reviews are extremely fucking frustrating and I can tell who is using an LLM based on the volume and texture of the shit they’re pushing out. You have to check everything excreted by an LLM far more thoroughly than if it had just been written by the senior dev who produced the slop. An LLM is incapable of reasoning, it’s just choosing likely tokens based on past context, so nothing it produces can actually be trusted.
Source—I’m a senior dev at a large software company you’ve absolutely heard of. I am drowning in slop.


Damn, that’s unfortunate.


Have you tried this yet? I’m interested if it works generally or if it’s just a local thing.
EDIT: Sorry about the double post, my client was being weird.
If I understand it correctly, it’s just that any infringement onto the liberties of other sentient beings is not tolerable to people who take it to that degree. To harvest wool, you do have to contain the sheep and potentially put them through experiences they would not choose for themselves. I’m not a vegan so it wouldn’t really be right for me to mangle their philosophy any more than I already have, but I believe that’s the gist.
Depending on your definition of vegan, wool is also not an option. I’m unsure of how many people take it this far, but I do know at least one person who refuses to use anything that directly derived from an animal.


Are you going to Walgreens? If so, entering 771 as soon as you hear something will take you straight to a human.


Does this mean that they won’t have to be packaged in the most infuriating way possible? Current 2032 (and other coin cell) battery packaging is a nightmare to get into and is so fucking wasteful of plastic. Kids just won’t stop eating these fucking batteries, so the solution was to fucking entomb them in HIPS or PVC or whatever the fuck.
Ed Zitron seemed to estimate that it was probably 4-5x the current going rate, so a $20 ChatGPT subscriber likely costs OpenAI $80-100.


These other responses are annoying. This looks really cool, and I hope that it works well for you and your friends! We definitely need good discord alternatives ASAP, and more options are better imo.
One cool feature would be some sort of official support for interop/bridging to other services. That might help to boost adoption and would make the “why not just contribute to Y” people be quiet.
I mean, just use any stable distro and you can live that life. Arch is good for its own reasons precisely because it’s this way.


According to Wikipedia, it’s known in modern times as mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.
The disease mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, also known historically as scrofula and the king’s evil, involves a lymphadenitis of the cervical (neck) lymph nodes associated with tuberculosis as well as nontuberculous (atypical) mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium marinum.
As for what lymphadenitis is?
Lymphadenopathy or adenopathy is a disease of the lymph nodes, in which they are abnormal in size or consistency. Lymphadenopathy of an inflammatory type (the most common type) is lymphadenitis.
The Wikipedia article for king’s disease has a picture if you’re curious, although it’s a bit gross.
That device kinda terrifies me. Like, I appreciate that SCUBA gear is so… simple. No electronics, no batteries, just relatively straightforward pneumatic equipment. At least you’re not very deep if the compressor shits the bed.
