I use vim, but not because it’s good. I’m just not up for learning something else right now

For me my fingerprint is unique, but the advertisers list was empty so yeah, it’s pretty pointless when you have Adblock at a dns level. You can be identified by first party sites, but that requires visiting every advertisers site to actually get them to fingerprint you. Otherwise your data won’t and can’t be sold realistically.
1·1 天前… we had autocomplete that worked better before LLMs came along. If you’re not using an LLM to generate more code then what the fuck is the point.
I think comics is one of the most popular communities
I gave one example. In fact that’s one of the least bad examples. If that was the only problem with LLMs it wouldn’t really be that bad. But the actual reality is so much worse. But I was arguing to the point that the person I replied to made, which was about development. The problems I have with AI are not fixable without literally every government on earth taking a stand, which just will not happen.
The overwhelming majority of software development occurs on a team. You understanding what you’ve asked an AI to do doesn’t mean jack when you need to make sure an entire team can understand it five years from now. And LLMs tend to write code that is incomprehensible to another person the next day.
Huh… they’ve literally stuck AI into every product they’ve created and in the process slowed them down and caused them to use ten times the number of resources they used to use. I just got a new job and I opened 5 different tabs with Google products and my computer slowed to a crawl. I tested in two browsers and both browsers were using literally 4gb of ram just for the fucking Google products.
And they’re training AI on all the stuff you’ve stored with them over the years. Photos, music, emails. Instead of being just bad in one sector they’re bad in every sector.
3·3 天前Just a question, does no one else recognize AI writing now? Like, am I really the only person seeing this? Every article reads like the exact same LLM has written it.
121·3 天前Might have had the plastic so the map didn’t come out?
Completely disagree. The difficult part of software development was never writing code OR speed of delivery. It was understanding requirements and problem solving. LLMs still can not do either of those things and there is no evidence they ever will be able to.
An example of how harmful LLMs actually are to development can succinctly be described with an issue I had a few weeks ago. I found an issue in an open source project, code was fine if a bit hard to understand. I came up with a PR to fix the problem.
In the time from me checking out the code to submitting the PR, a little less than 24 hours, the maintainer had completely rewritten the entire project with Claude. It was complete nonsense. Incredibly difficult to understand. Abstracting things that didn’t need abstracting. My PR was useless, because the entire project was new. The maintainer definitely didn’t understand the changes either. If a bug came up there’s no way AI would be able to solve it (the bug was still there even though the code was entirely new).
LLMs don’t understand the code. They just make things that look like they will work. And then a human has to maintain it (or keep paying billions of dollars for Claude to try to fix it).
92·5 天前Even the install instructions are written by AI. Good grief
5·7 天前All countries with hardly any regulation of industry at all. Turns out economic systems don’t matter if there isn’t something to stop bad actors.
1·8 天前Yeah I was already viewing the website, but I’m interested if it can replace Willow
lol I can tell generally how old people are with how they’re going to react to this comment hahaha.
Because programmers seemed magical, mythical, able to create insane amount of value by typing a few words onto a screen. You will see this if you just go and look at how any other industries work. Even just using basic shortcuts puts you into like the top 1% of computer users, that’s how inefficient most people are at working.
Because developers are asked to do more work than any other office job. The value you create as a developer is 10x what a product manager does. You can do a product manager’s job, they cannot do yours.
Once again, because programmers are obsessed with efficiency and productivity. Having a book about something doesn’t mean jack though. There are books on how to walk better, that doesn’t mean walking is hard.
These are dumb questions, there are degrees for everything.
People are angry that AI isn’t “following the rules” while simultaneously destroying the planet. People believe the bullshit that LLMs make up and then say “oh, your job was easy the whole time”. No, coding is easy. The rest of it wasn’t. Coding is meaningless without good architecture, good requirements, good UI/UX.
… because the jobs are being taken away and distilled down into just “coding”. How is this hard to understand?
Because business doesn’t (didn’t) care about writing code, they cared about making money. Also the number of bugs has nothing to do with how easy something is. Walking is easy, that doesn’t mean you don’t ever roll your ankle.
Yay! Good questions now! Yeah why do programmers have the only job where they’re quizzed over and over again? Huh, maybe it’s because every other industry thinks the hard part is coding (hence why this focus on coding)!
The output of a programmer is directly visible, the output of pretty much every single other job in software development is not. What, are they going to start measuring how many tickets and meetings your scrum master makes?
Who the fuck ever said implementation is easy. Coding is easy. That’s not implementation. The code has to fucking do something. That thing has to be tested. The sales person probably didn’t gather actual requirements before promising the feature, so whatever the customer thinks they’re getting is definitely not what they’re getting.
You can literally see that actual coding is easy when you understand the requirements by looking at tiny development companies that have made a single product where they give customers enormous power to choose new features. The new features come out incredibly quickly.
Dumb question. It’s hard enough to sell one product, much less 10. Think about any normal software user finding out there are ten ways to do something. Even some programmers hate it, Python claims there’s only one right way to do any given thing.
Yes, they like to talk about the fun part of the job, not the non-fun part. Big surprise. Also turns out they like to optimize that part to make it more and more fun, because it’s become too easy.
You’ve switched the topic. It was about what is hard, not what is important.
No we don’t. This is like saying we need to learn how to adapt when every country has nukes and has started to bomb every country constantly. We need to stop bombing, not learn how to live with it.
So then we definitely should stop using LLMs.
Difference is, those things were an improvement. LLMs are a step backwards.
I love change. I don’t like destroying the planet. It’s even worse when it’s of absolutely no benefit to anyone but billionaires. This isn’t change. This is destruction of the planet.
