I think the actual problem is that they won’t know when they’ve got something that compiles but is wrong… I dunno though. I’ve never seen someone doing this and I can only speculate tbh. I only ever asked ChatGPT a couple of times, as a joke to myself when I got stuck, and it spouted completely useless nonsense both times… Although on one occasion the wrong code it produced looked like it had the pattern of a good idiom behind it and I stole that.
No arguments from me that it’s better if people are just better at their job, and I like to think I’m good at mine too, but let’s be real - a lot of people are out of their depth and I can imagine it can help there. OTOH is it worth the investment in time (from people who could themselves presumably be doing astonishing things) and carbon energy? Probably not. I appreciate that the tech exists and it needs to, but shoehorning it in everywhere is clearly bollocks. I just don’t know yet how people will find it useful and I guess not everyone gets that spending an hour learning to do something that takes 10s when you know how is often better than spending 5 mins making someone or something else do it for you… And TBF to them, they might be right if they only ever do the thing twice.
I have no idea why the engagement with this was down votes. So your friend thinks having an LLM to answer questions will help to learn Linux? I imagine he’s probably right.
Don’t knock being perpetually high. Some of my best code I wrote in my mid-20s
Yeah but the idea of AI in that kind of workflow is so that the product guy can actually do it themselves without asking you and in less than 30 mins
Let me know how the film was, I haven’t seen that one!
Mulleins always make me think of triffids with how huge they get
I’ve had my joycons for 5 years and they still work fine. Tbh I mostly use it as a handheld and probably only play about 100 hours per year, but I think the switch is pretty neat
It’s fine as long as you never connect different controllers to the same device. Then it becomes a nightmare
Quite a lot happened in the Wire TBF (also I think it’s the strongest of the ones you’ve mentioned, largely for that reason…)
Hah. I’m sure once I read the rest of the responses I’ll see the observation that 1 is just a slow route to 2
I, too, like to smell my own farts. Perhaps we could exchange scents
Apparently I was thinking of ‘Conflicts in Civilization’, which was just a scenario set for the base Civ II game. Tbh I sucked hard at that game back then but in my defence I was too young to really get good strategy and just enjoyed building wonders
Look, Stallman may be a creep who women have to actively make excuses to avoid, but Torvalds sometimes gets sweary about subjects he’s passionate about in developer threads. Both sides are the same!
I forgot what I was saying. Anyway
Civ II expansion was peak. I never felt better than the one time I managed to win as humans in the humanity Vs aliens scenario
shots fired! Shots fired!
Literally doesn’t matter; sometimes it’s checking for indicators in your mouse movement, sometimes it’s checking your cookies… It never actually cares if you’ve correctly identified or not.
Sounds like a mnemonic for something
There are two difficult problems in computer science. Naming things, and pairing with Bluetooth speakers.
