What is your point? The original comment was really just a wry statement about the extreme level of corruption and ineffectiveness of the US government. Sounds like you find the current situation to be A-OK?

Well I am still happy when the shovel manufacturer's interests are in line with the interests of the people instead of the oligarchs.

I'm fine with not looking out of the window if the seat is comfortable and I can get to the bathroom more easily. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Window enjoyers such as yourself will still be able to get the window seats.

"community led" != "ideology". That's a statement of governance style, which is a different level.

You are arguing with a strawman. No one said anyone is entitled to host there. They are saying it's just a bad policy because it makes it an unreliable place to host projects when you don't know what will be banned next. You are &

Fair. Honest caveat - I keep seeing "a good instinct" everywhere now. Is this humans acquiring new phrases from Claude? Is there a name for this phenomenon yet?

Oh for sure, I'm not denying the value of AI as a teacher, just saying that it's not going to speed things up much over a quality personal teacher/tutor.

I'm not sure an AI will speed things up much. You would probably still need years of layers of foundational understanding to get the advanced material. We don't go through years of school to learn math just because teachers are ba

How do you get your kindle books on it?

I think FOSS is far better. Restrictive licenses lead to much less people inspecting and working with the code.

What does "spirituality" mean exactly and why is it so offensive to you?

I've ordered a physical keyboard that attaches to the back of the phone using magsafe to make it easier to use. I wouldn't be surprised if we see new types of hardware or at least new mobile UI paradigms that make AI coding on the

This is written on a OnePlus 13 with a slider running lineage os. Amazing phone.

I have a OnePlus 13. Best hardware ever. Running lineage with microg + magisk and use nix on top of termux to install stuff using sudo, including AI harnesses - it's my portable AI workstation now.

Are you all making sure to set charge limits at night?
109.
by colordrops 3mo ago
Yes, roughly. I try out open source projects as a hobby and a vocation. I've looked at dozens in a day sometimes. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to figure out if the code is slop. BTW, I'm not alone in my opinion on

I assume this is sarcasm?

by colordrops 3mo ago
Yes most people are not top tier devs and most code is slop whether written by AI or not. I've probably dug through tens of thousands of code bases in my over 30 year career as a software engineer and most are slop. I also did not clai

Why should I do anything but take your anonymous comment with a huge grain of salt. Is the irony completely lost here?
114.
by colordrops 3mo ago
You must be replying to a different comment. Seems completely unrelated to what I wrote. I never claimed that there wasn't AI slop. My point is that there are different levels of code coming out of AI, both due to the quality of the mo

by colordrops 3mo ago
I phrased that improperly which made you and probably others misunderstand. What I meant is, is the quality of AI generated code correlated with the developer? The answer is yes, a bad dev will absolutely produce worse code using AI than a

by colordrops 3mo ago
Is there any measurable difference in quality between the two, or are you just going on "vibes"? Is there a correlation between the quality of the manually written code and AI generated code driven by the same dev? Such crude take

Same, using NixOS as a NAS, though it kept growing and now I'm trying to share it with other people. I use BTRFS on MDADM though. It's ended up being an all-in-one home server and router now because I was tired of the noisy power

Except it does. It's not some law of physics. I've done exactly this on multiple projects, both personal and corporate.

No quite the opposite. It says everything that you think the only alternatives are voting or nothing.

This is the kind of mindset that has no grasp of the true nature of power and the political system.
