Of course, that’s what I do. That’s what I recommend everyone should do, or get someone to do for them. My point is that I’m sceptical of the type of person to endorse the opposite.

It’s more about the ethical and cognitive effects of relying on AI. To simplify, I don’t think there is any good use for “leaning heavily” on it for code generation. The worst case scenario is that the code fucks your system in some way.

I don’t know what precautions the author might have made, but to dedicate a paragraph to pointing out how useful AI was to him sounds more like the type of AI hype techbro to just trust the AI to get it right, which makes me trust him less.

Plus, you know, the whole energy consumption and cognitive decline issue.

I haven’t seen this particular code, but I’ve had the pleasure of working with AI-generated code before. There was a single line that I ended up using in my manually written version, the rest of it was just hard to read and maintain. The advice for editing that code I got from the person who sent it was to just feed it to the model and ask it to make those changes.

I don’t want to outsource my brain and I find it untrustworthy to see someone advocate for it.

I was more thinking about the mentality and ethics behind using it and considering it worth mentioning, not so much whether I personally would get to use it. That was poor phrasing on my part, sorry. What I meant is that it implies a certain mindset that I find deeply untrustworthy.

I did read the rest of the article. It’s interesting, no doubt.

Sounds interesting, if it’s all locally hosted it might actually be a good-

I leaned heavily on Codex throughout the build.

Aaaaand I’m out.

I get the argument about quick and easy development turnaround, but I just can’t trust anything vibecoded, let alone models from that company.

I don’t know, to be honest; I’m not deeply familiar with its workings. I just know that I made a habit of running a command “dry” without sudo, both because not everything should be done with superuser privileges* and because it’s a way to make sure I get the syntax right, then if it does need sudo, I repeat it with sudo.

*Which is why sudo -i (the interactive mode) is a dangerous tool that shouldn’t actually be your default mode of working

Pretty sure the person you responded to knows that and is joking, since you can hardly have a fraction of a CVE. Germany (where their instance is hosted) uses comma for decimal separators, so that joke is pretty close at hand.

Doesn’t it autocomplete? I mean, not if it’s an argument for sudo, obviously, but my terminal starts in interactive mode anyway, so that’s rarely an issue

Then you’re probably more knowledgeable on the topic than me. I did a great job of only learning the basic minimum of frontend development in my WebDev classes, never mind UI design or UX testing. If it weren’t for a webapp QA gig I did for a while, I would’ve had no experience with usability at all.

Suing unknown isn’t suing nobody. Suing unknown means suing to obtain judicial means to determine the identity of the defendant. For instance, you can’t just ask Valve to hand out information about the owner of a given account. But if a judge finds that it may be relevant to identifying that “unknown”, they can order Valve to hand out that information.

I have one accessibility quibble:

WCAG 2.2.2 recommends that any moving content, such as your carousel of reviews, have some mechanism to pause it. More information can be found in the accompanying Understanding WCAG document.

I didn’t do any full accessibility test on your page. I don’t know if you care about WCAG compliance anyway, and frankly, I wouldn’t expect it for a hobby project. It’s just one of the details a professor of mine drilled me on so thoroughly that I still remember it eight years later.

The difference between medicine and poison is the dosage and application. I don’t think the eyes are gonna quickly absorb enough to make it a problem.

How did this happen ?

The same way that I’ve ended up becoming an occasional rag for our baby to wipe her snout on in between mouthfuls of her mash, gotten wet stains from her frisking me for snacks (No, that’s not a carrot and you can’t eat it) or rejoice at the sight of healthy, solid horse apples that are easier to scoop up than trying to sweep up dried patties.

We adopted something cute and ended up adopting the gross right along with it.

And I’d do it again.

The same as the difference between my rambles and AI slop: One is natural, the other artificial. One is organic, the other mechanic. One is passionate, the other soulless.

About six seven years ago, when I went to refit an old laptop for university, I definitely got the impression that Ubuntu was the way to go, and it did the job well, so idk what you’re on about

No, probably just a really passionate human determined to tell people where that alleged “lightweight” claim comes from. Don’t underestimate how persistent nerds can be when they think they’re right.

Maybe “dyc”: delete your code

I’m not sure we’re talking about the same thing. I was talking about Iran backing Hezbollah and other anti-Israeli factions, which I’m pretty sure they didn’t exactly make a secret of. The JCPOA was very much lacking in restrictions in that department, because ultimately, it’s a local problem that the global powers didn’t care too much about. This was definitely a flaw in an otherwise good deal.

You mention compliance, so I assume you mean Israel’s claim about the “secret” nuclear program? Yes, that one was a very transparent lie. Iran had very good reasons to comply and get the great powers off its case. They’d have been very stupid to risk throwing away diplomatic credibility by randomly breaking deals, even unofficial ones. They wanted the sanctions gone, after all, which is why they were absolutely transparent about their compliance.

The alleged “secret” program had stopped in 2009 and been covered in the IAEA report. The director of the IAEA even said as much when Israel made that claim. They straight up fabricated a nuclear threat that wasn’t there to goad the US (well, Trump really) into supporting their genocidal ambitions. That is absolutely evil.

They know it doesn’t win wars.

I’m not sure of that. The myth that you can win wars from the air is a tenacious one, often propagated by people whose salary depends on not understanding the fallacy behind it.

Israel doesn’t want a resolved war. Only pure destruction of Iran

Israel and Iran both want to establish a (local) hegemony, and both are each other’s greatest local rival. Both want the other exterminated or at least reduced to a vassal that poses no threat to their nascent empire.

The resolution offered by the JCPOA (2015) basically gave Iran free reign to resume their activities, so long as they weren’t a threat to the global powers. It’s quite understandable that Israel would be just as upset with that solution as Iran was previously with the sanctions.

None of that excuses the cruelty either side inflicts (directly or indirectly) on the people in their way. Imperialism sucks.
