There's always React Native.

Apple, in its infinite wisdom and compulsion for the world to hold things correctly and to think different, will not allow anything that remotely resembles an existing website on their blessed store, so you'll be stuck writing an app no matter if your site fulfills every function you need.

At least with React Native, you only have to write one app for both Android and Apple and you get to lean on your existing React knowledge.

They already stole literally everything once to train the models and got away with it. Why wouldn't they steal literally everything again?

This is the quickest way to ensure only criminals use AI.

So long as the innocent are disarmed, that's all that matters I guess.

Link please.

@kiki The general population uses imperial and NASA still does just fine.

NASA exists and is very successful even though the general population uses imperial. It's almost like it doesn't really matter and that this topic is needlessly divisive.

@Demolishun The machine learning full line completion is very hit or miss. Sometimes it will know exactly what I'm trying to do line after line and saves a ton of time. Other times it gives me nonsense that just wastes my time. I don't think it can be disabled while the assistant plug-in is enabled, or else I would.

I just assume and hope that this will get better.

@retoor No one will ever accuse me of being too malleable or open to change, but when I'm convinced of something, I'm convinced.

It is very helpful for getting going on things I don't know much about, like shader programming and c++.

Ultimately, I think that's the main goal. To give people a running start where they can then develop expertise, as opposed to not getting started at all.

I will argue the ethical implications of how it was trained until the day I die, but I think it's a lesser of two evils type situation. Either the knowledge and skills go into the void or they're scraped without consent or compensation so that people can do something with them.

I know this is a joke but I'd guess the chocolate pattern is slightly different so the machine knows what belt to send it down for packaging.

@netikras You're holding it wrong. Have you tried holding it correctly?

When you realize that we've been lead poisoned as a species for all of our history, it explains a lot of things.

I've spent over $600 on noise cancelling earbuds and headphones the last 3 years because the alternative was to quit my job.

I work on a busy road that the police are wholly disinterested in keeping from becoming a racetrack full of illegally modified vehicles designed solely to harass as many people as possible.

It's nice to just switch off my hearing and work. It even covers the bass pretty well. It's nice. Not as nice as not needing them would be.

@int32 Under what obscene circumstance is that data accessible to the browser? If it can be printed to the console, it's accessible without it.

antigermgerm is a troll, right?

I find it tacky and ultimately pointless and divisive. If I find out someone makes more than me I'll get jealous and if they find out I make more than them they get jealous.

Don't like your pay? Negotiate for more or look elsewhere that will pay more.

If your entire organization has somehow managed to be underpaid, then I question how that would be possible with a group of adults.

If you're underpaid and replaceable, sorry but that might be why you're not seen worth being paid more. If you're underpaid and a critical part of the operation, use that to your leverage if you want more.

Find your spine and advocate for yourself.

I just realized I actually own this game but was so unbelievably bored with it I never picked it back up after the first couple hours. Is it eventually worth playing?

@rootshell I cannot fathom such an opinion. It's a fantastic way to transmit data in a way that is human readable and editable and is easy to deserialize and read. This makes working with it trivial. Any kind of slowness associated with parsing it would solely be on whoever wrote the parser, and not the format itself.

The only place I can remotely agree is for instances where the user directly interacts with it like config files, but that was not what it was designed for. Even so, it's still very easy to work with.

The alternative is sending data in some kind of binary format that doesn't have to follow any kind of standard and is a pain to troubleshoot.

I would love to know what you would consider to be a superior alternative.

Not being able to send json arrays from PHP is where I gave up on it. No matter what you do, they always go out as a kv pair with the array index as the key. I hate having branching logic in my controllers just for WordPress.

@iiii Fortunately, I only deal with basic read/write/execute locally. My servers have a well worn process for ensuring everything is set up properly.

I've had to work a few places where their official stance was that I'll have to learn on the job. It's maddening because that restricts your ability to learn the job only to work hours and if you want to be good at it, that's not enough time.

I've had to implement some apis over the years that while technically complete, their documentation was definitely written by the people most familiar with it for other people familiar with it, leaving the poor saps that have to use it to their own devices.

@retoor Will do!

@retoor I was using it almost exclusively as a way to run Debian so I could work on Ruby stuff for work.

The evil I speak of is instead of figuring out a way to properly manage library and language versions on the same machine, we just basically gave up and said use as many machines as you need. It just seems overkill to invent a super complicated technology to solve an organization problem.

@netikras I take it such a malfunction prevents the needed characters from being sent to the terminal.

I've had over 2 weeks of my life wasted by people using AI to guide them through basic IT tasks that would have taken a couple hours to do if they just spent the time to learn their craft and remember what they learned.

God help me.

I have the Mystify screensaver playing because if I turn off my displays it tends to crash virtualbox.

I have Debian and Mate DE.

Debian in HyperV doesn't have anything like guest additions as far as I can tell.

There was some kind of jank with using graphical applications in wsl the times I tried it so that was no good. Something about the clipboard interoperability I think.

Mac lol. No matter how I hold it, it sucks.

I need non jank access to Linux tools from Windows. Anyone have any advice?

Can you share the gist of the problem? I love a good unsolvable mystery.

@jestdotty My local gemma3 pointed me in that direction as well so I'll probably give it a shot. It looks like basically the same thing that I had imagined, but I don't have to write it, which is always nice.

@spongessuck I would love to, but I refuse to submit my dream to an intellectual property stealing machine.

I can run mistrial and gemma locally with below acceptable speeds, but I never get a good result. I have considered spinning up an AI server in Digital Ocean and seeing if I can get the opinion of a more advanced LLM, but I hesitate to spend the few dollars for a failed experiment.

@Demolishun I have a virtual webcam set up in OBS that has a gif of my monogram icon bouncing around the frame like a DVD logo.
