I'm a bit too busy for it, but if someone wants to make an auto spam down vote bot that uses three accounts to downvote spam automatically, I can make three e-mailadresses for you that you can use to create devrant accounts for the bots. Such bot would be very appreciated. Also, for AI enthousiasts - AI can recognize this with a 3b model probably.
But even a few keyword matching instead of AI is probably enough. Let's ban the word crypto in lower and uppercase. Case of the camel even and don't forget the snake. (Sorry dottii :P)34 -
Holy shit, the exr crate is one of the most overengineered pieces of shit I have ever seen
... well maybe nalgebra is even worse, but that's not a fair comparison. Nothing is worse than nalgebra
Check out this fantastic function: https://docs.rs/exr/1.73.0/...8 -
A picture of the powerful cloud behind retoor1b, the hardware such model deserves: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2024112...
It's blazing fast atm though: https://llm.molodetz.nl. It's just the base model.
Remote uploading of pictures isn't that bad tbh, now it's easy to share multiple and high quality. It won't be down as much as the LLM. This service runs on the VPS itself. Uploading is bit slow, don't know why. Probably buffer size related why using async to write the file to the disk. Disk is SSD, that's not it. LLM's run on different servers.4 -
"This happens because ES module import statements result in an object with immutable properties while CommonJS require calls result in an object with mutable properties (for the reasons already described above)." 🤮3

Warehouse devs are trying to make our own homegrown warehouse robot AI to easy up the route optimization math, without paying up big $$$ for some big tech's crap.
Those robots look like wild "dire roombas", BTW. Each is large and round like bike tire on its side.
And the state of the art on the driving AI for those robots is... actually pretty good. It can avoid moving obstacles like humans or forklifts on their route or even drive around liquid puddles (our warehouses aren't exactly pristine).
So then came the time for the warehouse devs to benchmark their AI.
They compared it to a ready-to-use solution and fared quite well. Until someone suit decided they should ask chatgpt (or some other text AI crap) to try its "hand".
I've spent the best part of the day laughing my ass off, the devs had to go on a hunt to search for the *runaway robots driven by chatgpt*. One of them found its way to a freaking porta-potty like 50m outside the warehouse. Others were trying to lift forklifts to take those out of the way. Ooh, the irony.
A few were gladiators disputing the same pallet to lift. They were literally trying to sabotage each other to steal the pallet.
But most were just driving around randomly like giant roaches.
Man, sometimes generative AI can really make us laugh.4 -
I overheard a phone call between my project manager & my CEO yesterday in the office. This is what my project manager said on the phone: "I find it weird that we sell stuff we are not sure if it is exists and if it exists, we are not sure how it works"11

So the age of enshittification continues.
Apple is working on IPhone Air, which is rumored to be 5-6mm thick. I am sure Samsung will follow suit.
Why the fuck can't I have a simple bloody phone which just works for calls, texts and I can hold it without it feeling like cutlery.
I do not want to play games on a 6" device and give myself carpal tunnel.
I have switched to S22 Flip phone (dumbphone), it works flawlessly, lasts for days on a single charge.19 -
It's me. I'm a green dot again. Starting with a clean slate. No weird phrases anymore that causes me to keep my connections to the account hidden.
I want to make the content on molodetz professional so I can use it as reference for future employers and that means the name retoor will be associated with me.
I stop using github under my own name. I realized that I can use my alias both for professional usage and the content here at the same time. With my real name I prefer not to.16 -
Image upload is broken again so I made a page where we easy can upload and share any type (so we can share source files) of file on devrant: https://devrant.molodetz.nl
Enjoy!

Design is 40% by GPT. Modified a lot. I'm happy with the looks now. Originally it was white mode, i applied filter: invert() for a dark mode. Result isn't bad.7 -
Even tho we are all software engineers, everyone needs to specialize and become really good at a particular discipline.
What are you good at?13 -
My boss just won't read things! Today's example:
Me: There's an issue when there isn't an image on an item. (Picture attached)
Boss: If the image exists it's probably a permission issue.
This is just the latest in a very long list of examples. I wrote off most of the others since they were often in a longer paragraph or complicated issues, but this was literally one sentence and he skipped half of it.7
