As someone who’s been using it in my work for the last 2 years, it’s my personal observation that while the models aren’t improving that much anymore, the tooling is getting much much better.

Before I used gpt for certain easy in concept, tedious to write functions. Today I hardly write any code at all. I review it all and have to make sure it’s consistent and stable but holy has my output speed improved.

The larger a project is the worse it gets and I often have to wrap up things myself as it shines when there’s less business logic and more scaffolding and predictable things.

I guess I’ll have to attribute a bunch of the efficiency increase to the fact that I’m more experienced in using these tools. What to use it for and when to give up on it.

For the record I’ve been a software engineer for 15 years

If you have big hands consider a tenor. I had a concert for a long while until I tried a tenor and it get much better for me.

I get notified whenever a band on or adjacent to the ipecac label is about to play in stockholm.

Unexpected monty python reference!

Exactly, if there’s even the slightest risk that I’ll need to dust off the good ol ajax that’s a nope from me.

Yeah I agree that free will and determinism aren’t mutually exclusive. Just because free will doesn’t exist, that doesn’t mean that everything is preordained.

It’s a hard question. For example with children I try to assume that they’re doing the best(only thing) they can and judge their actions from that perspective. With people who are mentally ill or addicts I lean that direction as well but honestly it’s hard with adults.

I truly believe that Putin and Trump are doing the only things they are capable of but I cannot forgive their actions despite them being victims of determinism, just like everybody else.

Society needs to hold people accountable, not because it’s fair, but because it could possibly prevent others from acting similarly.

If i am presented with a choice, say beer or wine, I feel like I’m making an educated choice based on the circumstances and my current personal state.

If we were to rewind time to that exact choice with the exact same parameters I’d choose the same beverage over and over again. It’s my free will, but I’m completely conditioned to choose it based of the environment, my DNA and my experiences.

If there were to be some quantumancy happening that made me choose differently in one of those scenarios, that doesn’t make the argument for free (controlled) will any stronger. Just that there’s some uncertainty at play.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter, we still need to good people accountable for their actions.

Nothing phone has a pretty average repairability score, so I’d assume so.

Yeah I have great and now tarnished memories of that band as well…

Emir kusturica was my nr 1 director since forever until I found it he works for Putin now.

Black Cat White Cat and Underground were my favorite movies.

Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.

It’s like vegan meat substitutes.

Sure there are awesome vegan dishes and the substitutes taste worse than the real deal but it’s not wrong to want to interact with the culture you live in in a normalish manner.

I’ll have a af beer with my vegan hotdog and enjoy myself even though they are just substitutes.

This. Was setting up a new service and it scaffolded all the endpoints after the swagger and helped me setup tooling, tests, within a few hours. Also helped me research what has happened in the area since my last ms.

Now when adding the business logic I’ll be doing most of it myself as it tends to be a bit creative about what I’m trying to achieve and tends to forget to check my models etc.

It’s great at generic code, has issues on specifics.

What about ImageMagick? I feel it does deserve to stay in it’s own comic strip.
