But historically, I don't think people engaged as much intellectually or mentally as much as we do today. And I'm not just talking about people who need to do it at work, but even "mundane" things like watching TV or Fil

Very tangentially related but I've seen the word escapism used a couple of times in this thread... I can't tell what's happening here... Did we all extract a different conclusion/meaning from the piece? Did a bunch of pe

Gosh, I must be doing something wrong. I spent 15 minutes (of which a lot was waiting while it was thinking about "backwards rationalising" it's decision and "gaslighting"[1]) arguing with it over why it keeps using

Gosh, that seems like a conclusion someone came to using AI lol. I agree that intuition is important, and that it's sometimes easier to develop correct intuition without a conflicting bias/habit, BUT... I don't think traditio

Lol... I noticed it does weird stuff sometimes. I'll see it generate a python script inline on the CLI to edit files. Like... Yo what the fuck? It literally used the edit tool until 5 turn ago. Also, it'll run a formatter, read, e

What? It's an algorithm (albeit an expensive one) designed to produce engaging output. It's not a doctor, it's definitely not more capable than experts in their fields. It's not replacing anyone, same way pocket calculat

The achievements of thousands of of agents vibe coding in parallel. Marvellous, simply marvellous. And the news fearmonger how AI will replace jobs. Lol

Don't you lose really users by making it easy for bots to complete a sign up, but hard for humans?

It's not much to go on by, but I kinda feel ya. I think one exception I'd perhaps make is doing a large mechanic refactor. I find them incredibly daunting. So, I'll just ask AI for that. I mean it probably takes me a similar

If I'm very tired (after I had insomnia for two or so days) I have mild hallucinations, and they're pretty boring/benign. But mine are more auditory than visual. This isn't unusual when people are sleep deprived though.

The thing is, the development timeline is so compressed that you lose intimate knowledge of the codebase. Like, I don't think humans can form memories that detailed that quickly? Maybe it's just a me problem though. Anyway, so whe

Memory _is_ data at the level Rust works. It just has a few abstractions in the stdlib that hide this. And the code you highlighted is taking steps in the "let's add abstraction" direction

It frequently gets indentation wrong on projects, then tries to write sed/awk scripts. Can't get it right, then write a python script that reformats the whole file on stdout, makes sure the indentation is correct, then writes requ

Honestly, I thought it was a skill issue too, but it just turns out I wasn't using it enough. I started a new job recently, so I'm asking it a lot of questions about the codebase, sometimes just to confirm my understanding and oft

Curious, what do you normally use? I had to write a few timing sensitive MC drivers and the only way I knew how onto do that reliably was using assembly. But granted, it wasn't _often_, just more than I expected (especially for someone

Yes, and to add, in case it's not obvious: in my experience the maintenance, mental (and emotional costs, call me sensitive) cost of bad code compounds exponentially the more hacks you throw at it

I have been doing this for years, especially for libraries (internal or otherwise), anything that's `pub`/`export`, or gnarly logic that makes the intent not obvious. Not _everything_ is documented, but most things are. I'm d

There's many JS implementations out there. Quality kind depends on what you need, and there's some engines more or less complete in which quirks are supported. And for example, v8 doesn't make much sense in embedded contexts

Random aside: I've seen a 2015 game be accused of AI slop on Steam because it used a similar concept... And mind you, there's probably thousands of games that do this. First it was punctuation and grammar, then linguistic coherenc

I know this is a spicy take, but it probably just means you're more eloquent in your writing than most netizens... And that's not really a hard bar to clear if you look at how people write comments online (including places like Gi

I recently battled this and reverted to using DOM measurements. In my case the measurement would be off by around a pixel, which caused layout issues if I tried rendering the text in DOM. This was only happening on some Linux and Android se

To be fair, early wine (when I first tried it) wasn't very usable, and for gaming specifically. So if you were an early enthusiast adopter, you might've just experienced their growing pains. Also, I assume some Windows version jum
