Gets better every loop

It’s downright good. Don’t even need to drop another programming language for more complex tasks.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Yep. There’s lots it can do, but more I wouldn’t trust it with. Useful for certain tasks.

For real, how short is the meme maker’s memory? We went truly off the rails during the first Trump admin.

The disappointment of the PS5 plus the surprise of the Steam Deck turned me, personally

So many resources wasted on live service projects that got canceled or flopped, that’s why

DBeaver is available for Mac and Linux too. But DataGrip is pretty sweet, so good one.

My bro, your TA wasn’t better at coding because “higher IQ”. They were better because they put in the hours to build the instincts and techniques that characterize an experienced developer. As for LLM usage, my advice is to be aware of what they are and what the aren’t. They are a randomized word prediction engine trained on— among other things— all the publicly available code on the internet. This means they’ll be pretty good at solving problems that it has seen in its training set. You could use it to get things set up and maybe get something partway done, depending on how novel your idea is. An LLM cannot think or solve novel problems, and they also generally will confidently fake an answer rather than say they don’t know something, because truly, they don’t know anything. To actually make it to the finish line, you’ll almost certainly need to know how to finish it yourself, or learn how to as you go.

GPT-4 “powered” lol

Thank you

What’s going on in the top picture? Prisoners being entertained with a shadow play?

It is 100% suggestive.

I see it’s a popular tactic to accuse the whistleblowers as being the ones with the real problem, which is a bullshit attempt to suppress discourse on the topic. I have another idea: that maybe those who claim that this picture isn’t sexual have been overexposed to much harder child sexual content, and as a result this picture doesn’t register on their radar. Speaking as someone who has not been exposed to any child sexual material, this is immediately, obviously meant to titillate.

Yeah, they can be useful, but not in the way that the snake oil salesmen would like you to believe. Code completion suggestions are kind of a wash: often close but needing corrections, to the point where it’s easier to just write it myself. Vibe coding really only works for basic, already-solved problems. Many kinds of code changes take such a level of precision or so many back-and-fourths with the AI that it’s more efficient to describe the logic in a programming language than in English. But AI can help with large repetitive tasks, though. Use it like a refactoring tool, but for refactorings not offered by your normal tooling. It’ll get you close, then you put the final touches on yourself.
