You're right, Im not cool because I use linux

I use linux because Im cool

As with all things, the truth is somewhere in the middle

@retoor See, the thing is, I have very specific issues, usually with very low level code and usually trying to test novel algorithms or implement interesting papers... So LLMs usually have very little useful insight for me.

It's great if you tell it "generate the same website template that you've already seen a billion times when scraping the web"

but for anything actually interesting, it's a rubber ducky at best. Sometimes it generates some interesting insights or approaches I didn't know about previously and can catch obvious coding mistakes and edge cases... but it's not really capable of generating novel solutions unless you hold it's hand... And at that point I'm the one providing the detailed spec and design already, it just converts it to subpar, but usually functional code...

which is I'm pretty sure it can't actually replace an engineer at any step of the solution creating process. It can replace code monkeys, but not engineers

@retoor I mean, I'm not going to pay for a month of something I'm going to test once.

sticking with the free option, which btw is not much better than ChatGPT tbh, didn't help. I solved the issue myself in the end again. Turns out it was an issue in my debugging assumptions and previous computations, but it didn't catch it, even though it calculated tons of numbers for me, it never even considered that some of the values I provided were suspicious and mostly agreed with my obeservations (sycophancy is a massive issue for all LLMs, probably unsolvable since it comes from the alignment training and shitty user-centric data)

@retoor, @BordedDev

Im gonna try Claude, but god protect you if it also sucks balls. :)

Try to use it for anything semi-difficult and you'll know what we all think.

Sidenote:

I've been trying to use chatgpt to help me optimize a cuda kernel for the past two days, and the only think it achieved is make me explain to IT why all of it's improvements are moot or outright wrong...

Essentially it worked as a rubby ducky at best, which is valuable, but not a replacement

Instrumental, LoFi, Coffee shop ambiance, retro chiptune.

I can handle lyrics if I don't need to be too focused and Im just in the flow, but if I need deep focus then lyrics are very distracting to me

All signs point to 'yes'

Your first post and you waste it on the weakest most basic rage bait. Im not angry, Im just disappointed....

@tosensei my bet is their CI/CD is fucked, or someone fucked it without deploying and OP is just the first one to clean up the mess.

That's my guess at least

To be fair, if I were to spend the rest of my life in prison without a chance of parole I'd rather die anyway. Whats the point of life if your entire life is a small concrete box with other male violent criminals.

Arguably death penaly is mercy at that point. Similarly to euthanasia. I'd rather die quickly than be stuck in a hospital for the rest of my short life (if terminally ill that is)

But we should probably change the death penalty to be a) optional and b) be done via massive heroin dose or something, so you OD on something nice (I don't do a lot of drugs so I can't recommend one lol)

Is this similar to macs? Macs have a software mechanical click. It's actually a little hammer device that taps the touchpad if you press it and Trigger a click.

It once happened to me that suddenly my work mac's touchpad felt "Stuck" and didn't click until reboot.

@lorentz can you write some sort of report and charts/infographics regarding the time wasted, attempts, cost, results, time to fix or something like that? POs are not engineers, but they can look at pictures at least

Cured everyone else's headache too

@atheist all the left here would ace an improv class

It's rare to see so many incorrect opinions and misused definitions in one post. Don't even know where to start

why? are you planning on abusing it?

I find you need to also became a sales person during interviews and know your customer. You should act differently depending on who interviews you.
Tech interviews with leads can often be more technicaleand geeky. If they are good they will get it. Interviews with HR should usually be focused on the "human" side of things, they like to hear about presentations, team buildings and about you in general.

Of you have a tech Interview where they don't appreciate you geeking out a bit, then you probably dodged a bullet, because a hacker knows a hacker

The current AI Investment market is the epitome of "Fake it till you make it"

Not sure you need to ask, they are HR, that's proof in itself

in the name of everyone who had the experience living with limited and slow internet. Please persuade someone to fix it xD I hate this

Imagine the Carbon Footprint. Your colleague probably rivals a small country emissions and should probably start paying emission tax.

The bug is actually in a superposition of both existing and not, until proven guilty. Or something like that...

@netikras

This exactly

To be fair to the police. Being a disgusting pig all day and then cleaning at the end isn't a great excuse either. Pretty sure raves could be done without people throwing garbage everywhere. Same goes for festivals n stuff

@dotenvironment Yeah, I second what Liebranca said.

Most of us were saying it for quite some time, but the tech that LLMs are running on is not scalable. Took some time, but now even the industry noticed and there have been some papers I think on this. It seems right now the trends is to try and shrink or redesign the models rather than grow them because there's diminishing returns.

It's not impossible for a completely new tech to emerge in the next couple of years and AI could see another massive boost, but then it could also take half a century, don't forget that neural nets as a concept are over 80 years old now... maybe the next leap will be 80 years from attention is all you need... and if that's the case, then the current get of devs is screwed... we'll see though.

Eitherway we should all learn to use it to our advantage and let the industry drive itself to the ground if it wants

Hmm, you said the new guy was consulting with the senior devs all the time..

What about the time lost by the devs having to babysit him?

Also consider that the guy is unlikely to improve mich using this technique. About 10 years down the line when It's his time to be the senior and babysit another AI kiddy might not be able to

I think there's a hidden tech and knowledge debt associated with the AI rush but it will only become visible years down the line, when It's likely too late for a whole generation of devs

None of your two examples are bugs though. It's just features that Firefox doesn't have. (Sounds like it at least)

What Bugs did you actually encounter?

Circumsition without a medical requirement is mutilation. You take a perfectly healthy creature and decide that you know better and start cutting parts off. That's not the same thing as "culture". No-circumsition is the default value and some "cultures" and religions simply decided to do something extra, which means the burden of proof is on them to show that It's necessary, which is not Something you should leave at "Well, we just like it this way" because that's how you get oppression, slavery and many other bad ideas like blood sacrifices. We're smart enough to learn and evolve beyond our mistakes and beliefs and we should celebrate that rather than defending "the old ways" under the guise of "culture". At the very least people should have the right to their bodily autonomy and they should be old enough and presented with sufficient data to decide on their own what they want to do with their bodies

You tried Open WebUI? It's a good self hosted solution
