I think the point is you can't get away from it if the liquidity doesn't exist.

Agreed. Are the people defending it forgetting how often beginners end up in seemingly arcane states and need to just check out the branch again to return to sanity?

How soon people feel they are owed a full blown AI just because this language model is pretty good :/

I'm currently using ChatGPT to write a novel and it's been extremely helpful. Why is everyone so upset that a language model is less useful for tasks that you don't need an AI for?

Molly, you keep an amazing website that's brought me much joy over the last year; keep it up!

My favourite goto has been "write a scene where Ash explains bitcoin to Pikachu".

I mean, in an example where the problem and solution is well understood, sure, but like all things there are downsides and you need to consider appropriateness.

Firstly if you're conceiving a novel algorithm it can be tedious to debug/test if written in a functional style because it's hard to step through in the debugger.

Second, you need to be extremely familiar with the language and ensure that you know that you're not mixing and matching mutable and immutable system calls, which will be hell to debug, see 1.

I'm not anti-functional and sometimes it can yield really clean and easy to read code, but I have to recoil when I see praises sung without the criticism.

I'm 90% sure this was written by / with assistance from ChatGPT; I previously prompted it for some React examples and some of this structure of how to setup the env is extremely familiar.

Half your portions then you can eat twice as much :)

Yep my experience too; if it's not featured it's basically a free for all what results you get.

A company I previously worked at would call this a CRI; critical room for improvement.

This is 100% Figma related.

We were told to return the laptop + charger, but not any othe accessories (keyboard etc).

I have it but only notice when I get reminded, like by this thread :(

Agreed that sometimes they can be too nagging, but I always really appreciate being able to resolve issues in a live-but-async manner. It also seems that chat agents are usually more empowered than phone agents when it comes to resolving issues, and it's an added bonus that it's all in writing so everyone agrees what happened.

People complaining that an AI is socialist don't realise what they're getting themselves into. Left positions are pretty generically good for everyone, right is usually very specific to those people. How do you think a right-wing AI would feel about human rights?

<Obligatory disclaimer about ChatGPT being a language model here>

Definitely not; normies are not going to be using ChatGPT and validating/debugging the output.

I have subtitles on more often than not. My biggest peeve is when the subtitles spoil the name of a speaker we don't know yet /facepalm

Reminds me of this sketch https://youtu.be/oN2_NarcM8c

If the solution actually was "just use REM" there'd be no point, as you could create a browser setting that does px->rem on all pages, as this is how the font is scaled in the first place.

This article is part of the problem; accessibility is not just a matter of ticking boxes with a "she'll be right" mentality so you can claim you support accessibility even though you're not doing it in a caring way that addresses users needs.

If you really care about accessibility you'll be using REM where it makes sense (fixing padding/margins that surround text), and not just by default like the article suggests.

Basically the same lesson can applied for saying no to feature requests from clients on your SaaS product; saying yes commits you to ongoing support, and you need to consider if it's worth it, particularly consider if said client is trying to outsource what should be bespoke work on their side, to you.

Just waiting to see job ads for Latent Space Navigator.

If this is a requirement of crypto it will never be anything but a speculation vehicle.

iirc GBA emulation got an early head start due to leaked documentation (citation needed).

Amazon search results are nigh useless for me; it absolutely refuses to constrain the results based on my terms and just fills the results with vaguely related ads that aren't even what I want.

For example, I've been trying to find what 5k2k/WUHD monitors they have, but it completely ignores that and returns WQHD/etc, so I'm no better off than just scrolling through the entire monitor category myself.

Reminds me of the meme going around emulation forums 20 years ago about making a gaming distro that would be miraculously faster.

About 10 years ago at the start of my career I built a prototype of a Google Analytics analogue that would suck up all your Facebook profile/likes and send it to a server. This is long before Cambridge Analytica when the APIs were wide open.

This is the kind of thing that comes up whenever I've worked on an app and the client asks us to report as server connectivity to the user. Despite what the OS tells you, you basically don't know anything until you actually try to use the network, so not surprised at all this is what Windows does.

Probably to put it on Steam or other online stores. There are users on there that won't leave that ecosystem and have no way of discovering your game otherwise.

I'm curious what this means for GC and WeakMap etc.

I'm the bulbasaur guy. I don't mind a good bulbasaur as a gift, but try make it something unique.
