More fun to write it yourself, but the give specification, get draft, give faults, get draft cycle is pretty fast after you have your initial spec ready (in your case the working code). Maybe a minute or two?

You tell it what the program does, it gives you a draft update each iteration you test it and tell the machine what went wrong, it’ll apologise too much and spit out the next iteration, repeat until successful

One project I vibe coded took four iterations before it compiled, I would have had more luck if I used a model optimised for code

As someone who uses Word at work, word online is severely hobbled, for example it cannot handle embedded documents. I’m glad they still have the word app

We also have other problems where our SharePoint librarian hasn’t followed advice from the SharePoint Online team, but that, again, is user error

In the worst case in the worst countries. Fascists like to turn people against a subgroup. In the 1930s it was the Jews, but only in Germany.

Right now the American government is making fascist noises and telling everyone how terrible trans people are

So don’t donate to them and tell others how they’re bad and that they don’t deserve money

Why stop using the software they made and gave away?

You can stop attacking the dev or team or company in charge of a project, mate, the software is what matters. Death of the author and all that

If some dev team wants to curb stomp you, you should probably keep away from them

Money, like everything, needs to be studied. Like we don’t know what government spending is inflationary and what isn’t, and that’d be a great thing for central banks to know so they can advise government what their policy will cost

Right now everyone pretends it’s the same to spend the money fixing a dangerous road or by reducing taxes to help some giant company

Though Keynesians are more likely to distribute stimulus money to the people, which is nice.

I saw someone describing another as having suffered ai psychosis - that person’s terrible act? They used an LLM and said it was helpful and made a good product.

friendly carnivore agrees

Good. Perl did regex correctly

They also seem fine with rust. I haven’t tried with perl yet as that is a fun language

In that case it’s just a synonym for

if (not z)

I do have to put up with an unsupported browser banner on government websites (which work perfectly)

No one’s salary went up when we obsoleted all the people calculating stuff. Actually I’m pretty sure salaries go down when work is automated

They have to go down, it increases the supply of workers, reduces the bargaining strength of people seeking work

I think all the devs like the ai tools

I don’t think there’s enough skills in the Luddite camp

I think that’s just your settings. My down is blue

Also if you had gotten a cracked “no key” version it would have come with malware

Prions very rarely affect other species, vCJD was unusual in that it was a cow cannibalism illness (mad cow disease) that also caused fatal mental illnesses in humans.

Sheep prions mess up sheep but not us, you’re incredibly unlikely to get a prion disease from a random wild animal, and you’re very safe if you only take healthy animals

The only populations that still live off the land that suffer prion disease are those that practice cannibalism. All of them eat brains. Humans probably evolved taking brains from lion kills; bashing the skulls open with rocks the same way chimps bash open nuts

Sheep prion disease doesn’t affect humans

Beef prion disease came from feeding beef beef waste including beef brain. It isn’t much of a risk

Human prion disease happens in populations where people eat people’s brains

Brains run on ketones when ketones are present even when glucose is also present. Brains run on ethanol in preference to glucose.

People find their brains work better on ketogenic diets
