Everything comes down to proper function naming. If it wasn't clear what function should return, then it was not named properly.

That hits me like something a teacher tells you in a coding class that turns out to be nonsense when you get to the real world.

In a company I work in, we have "no comments policy" for at least ~10 years now and we are not planning to change that. It's not just theory, we work like this in practice and purpose of each part of code is perfectly understandable just from variable names, file names, namespaces, function names.

The biggest problem with comments is that they can become outdated. If you change code but forget to change comment you introduce very dangerous situation where they become not only not useful, but also misleading.

If you rely on variable names, you've got a single source of truth, one thing to change at a time. Information updates itself.

To that end the company is developing a "Pay Per Crawl" system, which would give content creators the option to request payment from AI companies for utilising their original content.

So Cloudflare is not as much "saving the Internet", as just becoming a middleman between LLM training companies and content creators. Which I believe has a potential of being a true goldmine in the future.

I support this request, even issue on GitHub does not contain any (even short) description

There is something wrong with UX of Wikipedia edit page if someone found it easier to go to some other forum and ask for edit instead of editing it on Wikipedia itself

ofc I could even send raw api requests, but sometimes it's good to have a nice GUI that "just works".

Specifically I'm looking for something that could handle not only text responses, but also attachments, speech recognition and MCP support.

Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?

I'm glad you are posting links you find interesting, that what I come here for, to see links that people find interesting.

What I don't like is the form of it. You are pasting links to news aggregator inside news aggregator. This form kills discoverability: in other communities, you can scroll through list of topics and more or less learn just from headlines what is happening. In this community - you can't. It also kills discussion - when I comment, I need to paste link to the article I am referring to, because otherwise it would be impossible to tell which story I am referring to.

I might of course ignore it, but I believe it is not neutral to the entire community. Many such posts in a row might suggest to new users that mostly bots are in here, in effect discouraging them to stay. That is why I think we should not allow such links in here, but I'll leave this decision to moderators and I'll accept it whatever they decide.

It looks like this when I enter this community:

As long as they are free and open source, I don't care.

 

I don't want to be rude and I don't accuse people posting these kind of links here of having bad intentions, but I personally find them kind of annoying. There is too much of them right now and it's hard to even start a discussion, when there is no information in the title on what's actually inside.

I believe we should stick to "one topic, one post". What do you think?

+1, I came here just to paste a link to it

 

Manufacturers will be required to offer spare parts and publish security updates for an extended period. Energy labels will show a repairability index as well as energy efficiency.

 

Like dotnet run app.cs. C# is becoming a scripting language :)

 

Some interesting new features incoming:

  • “Featured” tab on profiles
  • Browsing user's activity on hashtag
  • Quote posts
 

I've discovered Lemmy quite recently and I'm still learning how it works. One of the things I don't get is how small communities can become known? On the main page I can only see communities that I've already subscribed to. I can also see popular posts on this instance. But how post in a community can become popular if no one has already joined it?

 

Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.
