This happens to me sometimes when I'm tired and it ruins my enjoyment of the book. Normally I go straight from page to imagination without much conscious awareness of each word.

Great, now I can finally make an Electron.js application with code made for Firefox!

Lots of interesting answers here, but I'm particularly intrigued people feel this would affect how they talk to humans. I guess I see AI the same way I see a compiler. I've never worried that I'll end up using code syntax in

You write to the AI as if it were a person. From my point of view it looks like a fair bit of extra typing and extra tokens. Is there a reason you include things like your emotional response and use a very chatty tone? Do you find this seem

A friend uses chatGpt for self diagnosis. I warned him it was less accurate than a human doctor. He said "I know, but it has a better bedside manner!" :) Sad but frequently true. (He also takes its advice with large grains of salt

There is no reason to think these are the actual instructions. LLMs simply try to produce statistically likely content based on your prompt.

It's part of the culture where I live, but the heat keeps increasing. 45 in dry heat (unless you work outside) is fine if you get cooler nights to recover, but when you don't get a break, it's lethal. Also aircon helps you bu

It locked up my whole phone. It's becoming increasingly common to see websites that are just text with the odd image that are too heavy for mobile!

Read this as "Lemmings from..." Was disappointed. Also: showing my age.

Very true. Also, for some of us, network speed/latency can be the cause more than CPU speed

I recommend bubbles inward, when you wrap yourself in it and sleep in the closet.

I don't consider vibe coding to be coding :) Unless, of course, you're reviewing and editing the code, in which case..... back to the problem of the phone.

This. Even with a great keyboard app and LLMs there is no way I want to be typing much code on a phone. Quite apart from the tiny screen.

This is excellent, fantastic UX and implementation. The only thing is that smaller towns don't seem to show up in the location search, which is a shame. 10/10

And then there's the small % doing music firmware :) (and no, I don't find LLMs much use on this)

I miss the old phonecall background hiss, now it's impossible to tell the difference between someone being silent in a call and a disconnected 'line'.

In 40 years of programming I never used Twitter to keep up to date. Reddit, Hacker News, online manuals, blogs , online magazines , offline manuals (back in the day), SDK documentation, Devdocs, Colleagues and friends, and Wikipedia.

I expect it makes a big difference what kind of work one does. For me, working with a legacy codebase for firmware, with 1000s of lines of C in each module, AI is very slow (~5-10s response time) and almost none of the code is acceptable. I

I totally agree, but with the caveat of: don't use TLAs without at least a single use of the term in full or a wiki link! TLA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-letter_acronym

I came across an old graphics project I'd made for Windows/DOS around 20 years ago. Within about a half hour I was able to compile and run it on a Linux machine with Wine, installing the latest version of the compiler and dependen

“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.” But seriously. Yes, you should be aware of these things. E.g. https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

I don't have your use-case, but I use the `.ssh/config` to give aliases (Host/Hostname) to my remote machines and can set the identity to use there (IdentityFile).
