Mind sharing more details about your use and experience with DGX? I'm just curious

> Who ensures it followed the specs?

The human. But only if you care about verification.


The human is missing form OP's description. "and it fills in the implementation". No human in sight.

You can't call it "engineering" if you don't care about verification.


If you build a bridge, the engineers aren't the one doing the welding and crane operation and bolts and digging holes and whatnot.

They're the ones checking that work matches the plan.


Come on, now. The human writes the plan up front, which includes guidance on testing strategy, classes of tests, particular test cases to cover, etc. And just like normal, of course you don't just ship the code without doing manual verification, code review, auditing the test cases, and all the rest.

> You are in the minority ... 41% of households use recurring cleaning services ...

Wouldn't that put OP in the majority?


If 41% of households are actively employing a cleaner then it seems very likely that more than 50% would be happy to have their home cleaned if only they could afford it (as opposed to the commenter starting this thread, who seems to see household cleaning as a positive part of their life).

How big of a bubble do you have to be in to be thinking "I like cleaning" is the majority position among normal people?

Is it “I like cleaning”,

or “I benefit from knowing some moron didn’t come flood the cracks of my floors and wood cabinetry, creating mold”?

Yet to come across pros doing it better than me, means I don’t hire pros yet.


> Is it “I like cleaning”

Yes, that really is what was said in the original comment we're discussing.

Somehow that got defended as a (possible) majority view.



Framing everything as 'gaslighting' has finally worn out. 'Psychosis' is fashionable again!

Treadmill keeps on moving...


Xfinity/Comcast automated support has swear word detection. I eventually picked up on this after the 4th or 5th time they sent out a non-technical 'technician' in response to my concerns over SNR causing connection instability.

(Me: "here is a comprehensive analysis of modem logs over the past 7 days and clear indication of the cause"; Xfinity: "Let's turn off the wifi router for 30s! It didn't work the last 50 times but it's the only thing we can do.")


That honestly is just the worst when it happens. It sucks for both the rep on the phone and you since it's just a waste of both of your time (though at least they get paid for it).

Had a similar back and forth over multiple days where I spent hours on the phone with them. On the third day they finally sent me to a different call center with someone in the US that was authorized to go off script and actually solve my problem. Took five minutes.

I just don't understand how it makes sense. Considering just how much these companies limit the utility of customer service, it's no wonder they want to switch to LLMs. It's likely no worse than the service they are already providing 99% of the time.


When I had Concast (with Sonic now) I remember hating having to call them. Their CSRs can be really terrible. I once said “are you fucking kidding me?” or similar and that was their legit way out of having to help and they hung up.

Some of them were straight up psychopaths too, as evidenced by `kill()` !

Indeed and using SIGKILL is really cruel. At least with SIGTERM the process can say its goodbyes. /j

> (also thanks for the useful message telling me to "contact the website owner... while blocking me from the website where the contact info should be)

I hit this a lot with Firefox VPN and it's ridiculous


I was searching for reverse sear info and it told me to make sure the steak is at least 37f/3c internally before eating lol

To be fair, being a solid block of ice would impair eatability

(I agree that AI result summaries would be quite handy, if Google's results weren't also so frequently incorrect at a basic or numeric level)


Ugh you triggered me.

I hate how most "modern" websites have MEGABYTES of JavaScript. CSS? Pack it in a js bundle with JSX and object literals. Images? Throw them in too, just make it load on demand.

Hell, just put a <div id=root/> there and let js do the rest. It's not like we have browsers and networks and edge nodes optimized to render websites in other ways.


Honestly, your suggestions found just as awful.

Bloated sites need to go. Putting makeup on the pig and it’s still a pig.


I think the suggestions were a joke.

It looks like you guys are both in alignment.

CSS has advanced to a point, where you can add quite a bit of interactive “bling” to a site, with very little code.
