Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 22/12/2025I'm a French native speaker. Some non-French co-workers have insisted I must not know the language properly as I was pointing out absolutely horrendous translation mistakes done by an LLM on a product, saying it should be infallible. The amount of rage this discussion induced was off the charts. 1144
Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 26/11/2025(spoilers) Episode 2 was 100% "ChatGPT"-style, with the hive mind more than eager to please, and to try and cosplay into a little kid, but also blurting out gynecological facts when asked. We realized this mid-watch and it hit us like a freight train. The rest makes total sense after that. 030

Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 17/09/2025I love how @sonicinternet.bsky.social claims that my house is covered, especially with AT&T fiber already present, and some neighbors already subscribed with them, and that they are "Planning" my request for connection since March. Doesn't really bode well for their actual service... 020
Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 17/09/2025Ugh. Let's hope this is just a mistake from @bsky.app's moderation team, and not a genuine ban. Pretty wild that the second most popular labeler can just go poof in an instant tho. Not sure this bode well for this platform. 040

I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 09/09/2025How do I know? I'm an immigrant myself. I had to work with my employer years ago to craft a job listing that was matching my profile perfectly, but also, formulating it in a way that it's asking for too much, so they could reject candidates on the spot. I couldn't have become an immigrant otherwise 100
Nicolas Noble @nicolas.grumpycoder.net · 09/09/2025Not trying to excuse it or anything, far from it, but the government also has a part to play in ghost jobs. Due to the law on immigration, job-sponsored green card and H1B visas need to prove no American could do the job instead, and so they have to open job listings for this reason. bit.ly/4m48KSHnewsweek.comTech companies accused of bending H-1B rules with newspaper job listingsPositions meant to be advertised widely still appear to target immigrants, based on recent listings obtained by Newsweek. 110
