Well yeah, but if we're talking about a post-collapse society where environmental destruction and starvation-driven civil chaos has wreaked havoc on our infrastructure and all resources that can be easily accessed have been mined out,

Well then our AI successors will still need some kind of meteor defense.

Fair, automated tests are important, but it's still ludicrous to call automated testing "1%". It's a lot. And let's be real - there isn't always the time, requirements being what they are, especially for prop

I must be doing something wrong then. I wasn't getting any useful notifications on my watch until I installed all the corresponding watch apps to the phone apps. The watch runs WearOS 3.5. But either way: getting a decent experience

I picked up a galaxy watch 4 on a whim and I gotta say wearos is a trainwreck. Half the value is getting notifications to your wrist but you have to have corresponding linked apps on both the watch and phone. And typing on a watch is a ni

Those don't sound like 1%. They sound like a lot more than that. Which is why they don't get done. Who has the time?

Well, if that cert can be traced back to its original creator, and that LLM is crapflooding, then that person can be blocked from user-contributed content systems.

On windows or what?

Ugh. I really tried to like Lakka but it was such a mess. I'll never install a non-raspbian OS on a rasppi again. I like the naked Retroarch UI so much better than emulation station so I thought that part was much better than retropi

Yes but none of those things sound like they needed to be first-class built-in parts of git and instead could've been just plug-in tools built on top of git. Like stashes could just be a set of branches named stashes/<stash na

Ultimately? Of course. But in the short term? The LLM's owner can vouch for the LLM, same as anything. I honestly don't care if a human augments their output with an LLM. What I care is that they act in good faith. As long as

The core is simple. Misfeatures like the stage and the stash and submodules are not part of the simple core. The workflow where we have no good way to hide history besides destroying it is simple but also stupid, particularly when destroy

Unrelated to content of article but the fact that scrolling the article pushes sections onto the history stack (instead of replacing the top of the stack) is exceptionally rude. I should not have to hit back 10 times just because I skimmed

It's basically automating the workflow described here: https://xkcd.com/1597/

Amazon's software is odd here. If I click on the name on a real Jane Friedman book, it does not include the fake books... But this is not commutative. If I click on the name on a fake Jane Friedman book, it lists out a mix of rea

This is why I have conspiracy theories about the conspiracy theories about digital IDs. I don't see any escape from a hellscape of AI-generated-sludge unless we have a real way to say "somebody has signed their real government-con

The fact that most people don't realize that a huge number of musicians and other celebs popular in the USA are Canadian isn't really a stirring argument in favor of the distinctness of Canada's culture. Our values may be di

Yeah, I thought the same thing. edit: of course the coloring book is a $40 CAD hardback. I mean $40 isn't a lot of money but I have a hard time justifying that for a disposable gift for my tweener kid.

My rules is never copy paste. If it's worth repeating, it's worth typing.

If scaffolding is generating more than an SMS worth of code per file, it will drive you crazy because you still want to keep it in sync.
921.
by Pxtl 3y ago
Code generators can work if you .gitignore the target folders, so everything generated must be used as-is or augmented by a separate handwritten file like a subclass. And to integrate them tightly into your build process so the generat

Realistically chatgpt isn't writing the financial code. Stripe did that already. Chatgpt is just reading snippets of Stripe's API examples for you and applying the code for a common use-case.

I bought a series of matching Whirlpool/Maytag appliances like 5-10 years back. They're all garbage. I already had to replace an element in the oven, it burns its own insulation sometimes and the glasstop takes eons to heat but

MineClone2 is exactly what I was thinking of. It looks fine but the lighting/shading effects throughout it look visibly weaker than real Minecraft.

I've been playing with minetest a bit and the lighting really is the thing that stands out. The animations are noticable when you really watch something, but the difference in how cubes are shaded jumps out at first sight as the thing

On the one hand, I firmly do believe that we need a proper way to verify identity globally over the internet. The Turing Test is over and AI is going to destroy every user-submittable form online. On the other hand, it's infuriating t

For a trivial case like this, something like odata and entity framework will get you 90% of the way there. The ORM provides both the webserver and data tier copies of the data. The problem I run into where I have to drop down into manual

C has had this problem solved with preprocessor macros for 50 years.

This should be workable and reasonable if you use tabs to indent and don't do any alignment. Imho that's good practice but there's always somebody stubborn.
