Practice makes perfect.

I get it. As much as I love autocomplete, it’s not perfect. I like the LLM, but I’ve never used (nor do I plan to) an AI service.

Though I’ve been toying with the idea of creating my own local LLM. Maybe that would be better than Copilot or those other public services. 🤷‍♂️

With a username like that, I’d highly recommend staying away from buildings with windows that extend beyond the first floor.

Hi everybody! I have been given the honor of being made a mod of this community, and I wanted to introduce myself to you all as such.

I have never actually moderated a community before, so I will no doubt make mistakes. I promise you that I make every attempt to learn from my mistakes.

Ok, here’s a hot take. I’m avidly against generative AI. But I’m not against using LLMs to help assist with coding. Jetbrains offers a free LLM (they have a separate paid AI service too) to help with code completion, and it’s fairly good for repetitive stuff. It’s also hosted locally on your machine and not a cloud service.

That said, if people want to write boilerplate/template code with AI, fine. But it must be edited, tweaked, and reviewed by a human. This is no different than blindly copying and pasting from places like StackOverflow. You need to know and understand what’s being presented to you so you can know and understand what it’s going to do in your application.

Edit: forgot to lament that writing code is not the time-consuming part. It’s the editing, tweaking, and reviewing process that is. But what do I know? I’ve only been doing this for ~20 years professionally. 🤷‍♂️

Fight fire with fire… and brimstone. Lots of brimstone. 😈

So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?

Do you have any resources you can share for what you’ve done and will do again? My yard right now is very sparse. Literally no grass, but has 3-4ft tall weeds, moss, rocks, and a lot of mushrooms. I don’t necessarily care if I ever have a perfect lawn, but I’d like something else… more appealing.

Naps. Naps are cool.

Not sure how it is across the pond, but here in the US they stick a probe up the tailpipe to measure emissions. 😏

You just described my current working conditions. 😅

Everyone knows birds aren’t real, but are drone surveillance from Big Brother. Except crows. Crows are bros.

No way! Two times the Padme is always better than just one. 🤤

Nope. No pictures other than ads.

We are still talking about toothpaste on a toothbrush, right?

I put it on before, after, and then before putting it in my mouth. Because in the span of those few seconds I can never remember!

Thank you!
