It’s like having a lightning-fast junior developer at your disposal. If you’re vague, he’ll go on shitty side-quests. If you overspecify he’ll get overwhelmed. You need to break down tasks into manageable chunks. You’ll need to ask follow-up questions about every corner case.
A real junior developer will have improved a lot in a year. Your AI agent won’t have improved.
The colour seems right, but the proportions are easy off.
He calls him Donny
It used to be 20. But my wife claims I leave skidmarks on the sheets.
Now it’s 17.
What? What did the moderator of r/jailbait do now?
Moroccan oil is the main sponsor.
Hint: it’s not a Moroccan company.
It’s an easy mistake to make.
You’ll need to update to a point release sooner or later.
Are you the kind of person who lives to peel off the band-aid or pull it off in one go?
I prefer to peel mine. I’ve learned from pulling stitches by ripping it off.
On a more serious note: btrfs and timeshift are 👌. If there ever is a botched package, I’ll just roll back to this morning and keep working. It’ll probably be fixed by tomorrow.
They’re sold as “Thomson streaming stick” in Europe.
Mine works well.
The Laestadian sect from my neck of the woods are big on forgiveness. If I had a quarter for every time this story has surfaced, I’d have a nice mixed bag of beers for the weekend. I might get alcohol poisoning if I had a quarter for all the stories that never surfaced.
imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s
I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.
The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).
My original Průša i3 mk0 has been going for 11 years now. It did receive a mk1 upgrade at some point when 3mm filament was getting scarce.
The IEC heatbed connector melted twice. But it’s been solid since I replaced it with an XT60.
Looks like I’m finally getting some metal fatigue in the heatbed temp sensor. I’m considering a new printer. The rest of the components are probably close to giving out after all these years.
I’ve been doing computer engineering long enough to do the field in the 80s and still live as comfortably as I do now, if not more so.
I also sail, with a license old enough that I have my own sextant and reduction tables. I’d assume those skills transfer hundreds of years back, but I wouldn’t like those survivability odds.
I used to shave my head with a razor when I was in the army. I’d give my ponytail a go with the scissors when I let it grow afterwards.
Both are easy and work.
My wife has requirements on my hairdo nowadays, so she gets to cut it. It’s getting too thin for ponytails and she doesn’t like baldy.
I use my dog’s name as password for my WiFi.
Ed&1e.78x!
We call him Eddie for short.
I’ve got my important data encrypted and backed up weekly to the cloud.
I used to have a 1985 sailboat where some previous owner had installed a safe. I guess cash was more important when cruising abroad 30+ years ago.
I have a caravan now. The caravan door is flimsy enough to tear open with your bare hands. I’d like to put something bolted to a cupboard wall just to lock up our electronic devices while we’re out and about.
We’ve been married 12 years now. She still doesn’t have a clue.
My jr developer will eventually be familiar with the entire codebase and can make decisions with that in mind without me reminding them about details at every turn.
LLMs would need massive context windows and/or custom training to compete with that. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but for now it seems far off. I think this bubble will have to burst and let hardware catch up with our ambitions. It’ll take a couple of decades.
