   Yeah the current Vibe for me seems to be: Congratulations, you trained a giant machine that makes copying code from Stackoverflow marginally faster.

   Agreed. Where's the code?

   Often see these glowing reviews. Where's the code?

   Absolutely agree, it's incredible. Being political is when someone says something I don't like, of course!

    For me it generally takes six months, because as a reflection on my own headspace, it takes that long for me to trust that my intuition isn't just imposter syndrome/anxiety.

    I disagree. They're hard for a non-technical user to acquire in bulk. This makes me think their purpose isn't really to prevent bot farms.

    I've been narrowing my eyes at the "add your phone number/backup email" thing for a while now because it seems like a transparent and deceitful attempt to increase the reach of the FB/Google "cross device graph

    I'm writing a doorknock organising application for an Australian climate action community group, using lots of PostGIS and as much vanilla js as I can! Super fun so far.

    If you're worried about a serious subject not being taken seriously, I'd encourage you to be outraged by someone slapping a prompt about it on the front of an extremely complex machine and expecting it to just work.

    I think there are tests that intelligent people can describe which demonstrate the phenomena exists. That's what science is.

    I've tolerated AI autocomplete in VSCode but I am a bee's dick away from turning it off, because it so often generates a huge chunk of code that is ALMOST correct, and determining where it is wrong is as much a chore as writing it

    Which part of my question are you having difficulty understanding? If this is so important and accurate surely you can name and explain the important and accurate tests, and their results. Maybe it isn't as simple as you say?
18. 108.▲
    by tomlockwood 1y ago

    So which tests with which results would you rely on?

    I guess it doesn't answer my question then.

    So the SRY cheek swab test that the IOC ruled ineffective before the 2000 Olympics is what you think is accurate? Interesting.

    What tests with what results would conclusively show which individuals went down which pathway?

    Interesting input, thanks for sharing!

    Always bewildering to me when people look at the demographics of conservatives, leaning old and rich, and think that they just fell out of the coconut tree. No. Those people were sometimes "progressives" in their time and later be

    I am alarmed by how quickly Americans leap from the suggestion that we tax the super-wealthy more, to this idea of full communism.

    Not sure any of these companies have really appreciably made the lives of people better. Sure seem to have funnelled more money to Elon though.

    So you'd rather have someone unelected with that money. Don't y'all live in a democracy?

    Could you help me understand why an individual with one billion, needs two? At what point would you accept that someone has more money than they'd reasonably need? And if you just thought of a maximum amount, then, wouldn't the ac
