God, that’s so frustrating. I want to shake them and shout, “No, your code is 100% ass now, but you don’t know it because it passes tests that were written by the same LLM that wrote your code! And you have barely laid eyes on it, so you’re forgetting what good code even looks like!”


So in your case, not only is the LLM coding assistant not making you faster, it’s actively impeding your productivity and the productivity of your stakeholders. That sucks, and I’m sorry you’re having to put up with it.
I’m lucky that in my day job, we’re not (yet) forced to use LLMs, and the “AI coding platform” our upper management is trying to bring on as an option is turning out to be an embarrassing boondoggle that can’t even pass cybersecurity review. My hope is that the VP who signed off on it ends up shit-canned because it’s such a piece of garbage.


“Cognitive amplifier?” Bullshit. It demonstrably makes people who use it stupider and more prone to believing falsehoods.
I’m watching people in my industry (software development) who’ve bought into this crap forget how to code in real-time while they’re producing the shittiest garbage I’ve laid eyes on as a developer. And students who are using it in school aren’t learning, because ChatGPT is doing all their work - badly - for them. The smart ones are avoiding it like the blight on humanity that it is.


Please tell me PP’s political career is over now.


Which version of Linux did you install? It supports a lot of them, and most have updaters that are easily configured from the task bar, just like Windows.


Thanks to this crap, the world is being flooded with awful, unmaintainable code, and the thing is, the LLMs that build it promptly forget everything about it as soon as you move on to the next task. Fixing this garbage will be an unending nightmare.


I interview juniors regularly. I can’t wait until the first time I interview a “vibe coder” who thinks they’re a developer, but can’t even tell me what a race condition is or the difference between synchronous and asynchronous execution.
That’s going to be a red letter day, lemme tell ya.


Is that a win for Google, though? They make most of their money from AdSense, because websites want to display ads. If people aren’t clicking through to websites from their search results, that seems like fewer opportunities to display ads, reducing the viability of AdSense.


I like the idea, but unfortunately it would be treated as an excuse to start another war (by the “peace” president).
A better option is to gently, but firmly, insist that he affirm the sovereignty and autonomy of Denmark and Greenland. And if he won’t do that, then simply escort him back onto the plane and send him home.


Hmmm. The NVMe standard has existed since 2011, and Samsung released their first commercially-available drive with it in 2013. So Microsoft has had at least 12 years to make nvmedisk.sys the standard driver for these disks.
You use his work and derivatives of it every day.


He’s in Australia. It was already the 15th there when he posted that, but the person you’re responding to isn’t in Australia and the blog they copied and pasted from probably compensated for time zones.
Edit: Or it’s a typo from a stressed and frantic person.


Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.
As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.
A software developer found out that the failing company they’re at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that’s broken in dozens of ways.


You misread what I wrote. I didn’t say it couldn’t fool me, I said I’ll never pay for it. I’m not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it’s faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I’m going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.
There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content
100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.


Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.


Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.
Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.


You do know you can use AD with Linux, don’t you?
Welcome! Isn’t it a breath of fresh air to use an OS that isn’t trying to turn your computer into an advertising and upselling platform? It has its issues, but it’s a huge relief to escape the constant inundation from Microsoft.
