Yeah like the ban or not, 3 branches of government passed a bill, confirmed it, and then upheld it in court, and now one individual is seemingly going to go around all of that. That should be horrifying to everyone

Just CDs? Pretty much any of them

As long as it’s not a breast

It’s finally here…

Great job trying to learn! Ignore the naysayers here, as a fellow programmer like it or not, you’re going to need to learn how to interact with it. That’s the real way we’d lose our jobs, if you don’t keep up with this stuff you’re doomed to fall behind.

I recommend trying to first build a simple CLI API that you can work with and ask questions similar to chat gpt. This will give you a good foundation on the APIs and how it works. Then you can move up into function calling for things like HomeAssistant, and then maybe even later training loras. Start small, just getting basic stuff working first, and build from there.

The number one thing I’ve learned through the last several decades is that if it’s bad for the economy, no one will do it. Greed is the number one driver of everything right now. Maybe that will change, but I doubt it. Look at all the positive progress we try to make, it’s stopped the second anyone rich would lose any money.

Yikes I thought you were referencing something else, but yikes

I’d say also it depends on the franchise. Depp rock? Be a funny space dwarf yelling rock and stone? Hell yes imma do that with some friends.

God of war? No. Much more serious tone, I want to do that alone to explore the narrative

“wow, what director level ass pushed them so hard that they had to leave that bug in?”

I think of the T-pose all the time in cyberpunk, that was a bug that was horrible but obviously it was tracked somewhere, and some director was like “it’s fine, ship it”

I go into gaming communities and see people hate on developers and I’m all like, dear God the fact that this works at all? Modern games are amazingly complex!

Blame the company for shortening timelines sure, but I never blame the devs.

It also delivers a set amount of ice

I mean I don’t have one, but my wife is a food scientist working in the drinks industry, so I’ve learned a lot

Doesn’t mean they didn’t plan the drink with ice in mind

Okay so I’m going to answer this with soda. So when people order soda no ice, they think they’re being smart and getting more soda. Well, define soda.

You see, most of those drinks are specifically designed with the ice in mind. All drinks are some sort of mixture with water, and they take ice into account, they expect the ice to melt and become part of the drink. With soda, they made the drink with the ice melting in mind.

So when you order a soda no ice, you’re not getting more soda necessarily, justa. More concentrated sugary syrupy drink that isn’t properly mixed.

Email is kind of hard. There’s usually only one API key to the email client, and there’s no real safe way to call it. Personally over the years my approach is to have an internal library that reads what environment it is in, and then if it doesn’t explicitly tell that it’s in prod, it reroutes everything to safe email addresses.

For us who are bad at writing though that’s exactly why we use it. I’m bad with greetings, structure, things that people expect and I’ve had people get offended at my emails because they come off as rude. I don’t notice those things. For that llms have been a godsend. Yes, I of course have to validate it, but it conveys the message I’m trying to usually

I use it for parsing through legalese or terms and conditions. IT IS NOT PERFECT. I wouldn’t trust it ever over a lawyer. But it’s great for things like “Is there anything here that is extra unusual or weirdly anti-consumer or very bad for privacy?”. I think it’s great for that.

People here are just “it will take jobs it’s inherently evil”. They said the same about Photoshop, and computers before. I think there are evil uses for it sure, but that doesn’t mean that it has no valid usages

Exactly. Even Meta and their thousands of lawyers would immediately say this. How does it harm people? Prove it does. Why are they singled out? They’re just showing content they think is relevant, and I’m guessing they honestly are. It’s that political groups take advantage of that, and make slop that enrages and inflames. But Meta would just say “you can’t punish us for trying to make our platform successful”. A mess all around

Oh man, I did that at a midsize company as a jr. That’s a right of passage. Informing millions of people that you’re shit at testing. That was a fun conversation with my boss

It’s their basic “backup” plan. B2 is more enterprise and you pay standard s3 rates for it, if you have a single computer you want to backup then you want their personal backup plan. Flat rate for unlimited data
