   My guess is it was simply trying to blend in with the rest of Australia's animal life.

   Explains a lot, there's no such thing as substance without controversy.

   I've tried getting different AIs to say something meaningful about code, never got anything of value back so far. They can't even manage tab-completion well enough to be worth the validation effort for me.

   No one was forcing you to use SO, in fact we made fun of people who did copy-paste/compile-coding.

   And which joy is that? Short sighted profits?

   By then the price will have increased quite a bit; if you want me to fix your AI crap, you're going to pay until it hurts.

   Not even close, those were all deterministic, this is probabilistic.

   Exactly, how are you supposed to verify anything when you don't have any skills left beyond prompting.

   We used to make fun of and look down on coders who mindlessly copy paste and mash the compile button until the code runs, for good reasons.

    I wouldn't, I got into software exactly because I enjoy solving problems and writing code. Verifying shitty, mindless, computer generated code is not something I would consider doing for all the money in the world.

    Maybe :) Dependencies is something you learn to be VERY careful with, sooner or later.

    Won't that also make them trivial to hunt?

    So they say; I still haven't seen any high quality vibe coded software, and I'm pretty sure I never will.

    There are different kinds of dependencies; the human brain needs nicotine to function properly, more than you get from modern food. Not recommending tobacco, nor big pharma crap, there are supplements.

    Can you see any potential risks with blasting the body with same frequencies as it uses to regulate itself, while its supposed to be regenerating?

    Compare the numbers, then we can discuss.

    Even delegating just the boring parts doesn't appeal to me. Generating boilerplate code - getting frustrated about code is what drives new ideas and improvements, I don't want to lose that friction. Summarizing documentation - Rea

    Wow, it hurts to imagine maintaining and evolving that code :)

    Yeah, I draw a lot of boxes, redraw too :) I've tried various tools, but nothing comes close to the same freedom.

    They would say so, yes, because profits.

    I can't solve complicated problems on a keyboard, I need a pen and paper for deep thinking. It's very rare that I go back and read any of it, means to an end.

    Copy/paste coding isn't exactly a new idea, it just got a lot easier and more popular.

    by codr7 1y ago

    And the only way to be 100% sure is to have written exactly the same thing before, which makes zero sense.
24. 534.▲
    by codr7 1y ago

    If you haven't solved exactly the same problem before, specifying a solution before writing code is a bad idea imo. More often than not, it turns out that the prematurely defined general approach isn't very optimal. Which points a

    Mind explaining your issues with Kirill? Haven't really been paying attention. Wasn't he the one who got Russia into defending persecuted Christians wherever (Syria etc)?

    I don't know about you, but I tend to make more elaborate plans than the next word. I have a purpose, an idea I'm trying to communicate. These things don't have ideas, they're not creative.

    From big pharma, yes. But their so called "solutions" seem to become ever more destructive long term. Neem is a natural alternative that has been used for a long time.

    Isn't it the case that the latest models actually hallucinate more than the ones that came before? Despite best efforts to prevent it.

    With a plan, aiming for something, that's the difference.
