Yeah, obviously your average React app has no need to render anywhere near that frequently. The ones I've worked on will generally only render as a response to user action, server event or polling. I'm just saying they can rende

I don't have any actual experience with React Native and Electron, but with that caveat out of the way I personally think tools get far too much blame that should be on developers. For an example that I actually have experience with, R

For me it's insanely much faster. Maybe 5-10x depending on the task. One thing I do is try to keep prompting. I do take time to look at the code and think if I need it, but when I'm unsure of what to do I use the LLM to help me wo

Well there is pvp and the ship also helps with PvE progression. So I don't know how you figure it isn't p2w. Buy better ship, have advantage over others. It's not just a cosmetic upgrade. That makes it p2w.

I recently tried star citizen and it's kind of trying to be something like that but it's way too half baked with lots of game breaking bugs like you'll just lose the entire cargo of your ship which can completely bankrupt you

Why would they fix it when you guys find workarounds to get it done anyway? I bet they'd care if their data started going stale because nobody bothered to update it.

I generally prefer small increments yes but I don't shy away from larger changes where necessary. Just like everyone hated reviewing a 4000 line PR before LLMs, we all still hate it now, provided you actually do review things properly

I'm able to avoid slipping down that slope, just don't be lazy. If you look up one day and don't recognize the codebase that's because you haven't actually looked at it in a long time. Obviously when you don't

This is not a problem I've had. I know roughly what I want before I ask for it, I make sure the result is roughly what I expected. Some times if I'm not entirely sure what I want I'll ask it to plan the change or suggest some

It's a common complaint that people lose control of their codebase using LLMs. It always strikes me as odd, because this is a choice you make when you use the tool. You don't have to just give it a task, let it do whatever it want

Any half decent IDE will change them automatically for you, no need to chase them down. Just look at the git diff if you want to see where things changed.

I would assume it's a typo on GWh. It seems probable to me that the battery can supply/absorb 1.2GW on a millisecond response time, so it would be able to fully charge/discharge in a little less than 2hours, supplying/ab

How do you envision a chatbot doing any of those things? You can't just program a super virus, nanobots, bombs etc. These things have to be created in the real world, you can't do it without involving a lot of humans using expensi

I'm pessimistic. We're still producing more CO2 each year than the last, and several feedback loops are kicking in that accelerate the warming further such as permafrost thawing, arctic and antarctic sea ice disappearing, glaciers

The ecosystem absolutely is being destroyed. We're looking at anywhere from 3-5C warming by 2060, which is going to be devastating if not flat out apocalyptic. And wherever we're at in 2060 it's not like it's going to st

Nuclear does not produce CO2. Nuclear energy is green energy.
