Thorry

Do you mean highest like most drugs? Or tallest, like the one who needs to help people get stuff from the top shelves?

Sleepy Don hard at work

I fucking loved this game, it's a shame it didn't sell better. The performance was bad in some places on my pleb PS5, but mostly fine. It would go from fine to absolute shit, only for it to go back to fine when I went further into the level. So I think it was just bugged, I hope they can fix it.

Returnal for me was the better game tho, I liked the level design better in that one and the guns felt better. Saros was still very very good.

Not to be that guy, but that's 100% on you for not having backups of important work. It's 3 years and your fucking research dissertation, how the fuck do you keep that all in one place?

This time you got fucked by Microsoft for having shit software. But it could have been your hardware that exploded, your house catching fire, your shit being stolen, you downloading malware from that one site you told your girlfriend you'd never visit again, shitty infrastructure causing power issues or flooding, you yourself having a nervous breakdown and nuking the thing.

Keep everything important at least in three places, one of which should be in a physically different (remote) place. Backup often, keep to the schedule and test your backups.

Jeez man, using Microsoft software and not having backups is like walking around with a loaded gun pointed at your dick. It's all well and good till you get your dick blown off.

This quote has to be bullshit. Cameron Diaz had a lot of work done and has been open about regretting that. It's too late now tho, her face is all plastic and will never look normal again.

Edit:

Looked it up, not bullshit, she actually said it. 20/20 hindsight...

Fun fact: Life went from the water to the land and back multiple times! It wasn't a linear thing, evolution just does whatever because it's random by nature.

Weren't they found out to have a chase vehicle for every one of them? Alongside continuous remote control.

The only upside I see is their stock has fallen since this announcement. Perhaps the market is finally getting that companies pushing AI isn't a universal good thing?

Since we've stopped using CFC gases in our air conditioners and fridges, this has been mostly a non issue. The biggest issue also wasn't the leaking, it was improper recycling. Things were just thrown away, leading to the gas escaping. These days proper recycling is mandatory in most countries and programs have been setup to do so.

Modern airconditioning systems mostly use a pure form of propane (R290). Which is still not the best thing to release, but has a very low environmental impact. Fridges have mainly used R134a for the past 30 years or so, which also doesn't have a major environmental impact. R32 is also still used a lot, but is being phased out in favor of R290.

I think this is mainly a solved problem. But if they want to spend a few million to figure out if they can do better, more power to them.

If you want some entertainment value, check out AI tools on Github. For example the popular VS Code extension Continue.dev. The devs do everything with AI and so do people contributing. A lot of the issues are pure nonsense and the pull requests are hilarious.

The code is terrible as well, with lots of weird stuff and duplicate code. A friend of mine pointed out an issue where there was a bug with certain boundaries when parsing text. This bug keeps popping up, even though people are trying to fix it. The text parser is a mess, with all sorts of weird code paths caused by just vibe coding the whole thing line by line and then playing whack-a-mole with the bugs. The bot kept on "fixing" it by adding more checks and adding more mess. It suggested implementing helper functions to clean some of that shit up, but those helper functions were already implemented a dozen times elsewhere in the code. All slightly different of course, to create more bugs. It's honestly a wonder it all works and the devs just telling the bot: "Fix it" doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Vibe coding is so fucking terrible. I already doubt an experienced dev being "assisted" by a clanker can deliver the same level of quality with the same efficiency and effort. People who don't exactly know what they are doing and are just vibing make for terrible results.

Last week a colleague wanted to "win me over" on AI coding (after I wrote a rather negative code review on stuff "he" had written). So we took a simple task, something I could do in about 1-2 hours max. It wasn't super straightforward, but not exactly hard either. So I started a timer and did the task, ended up taking 78 mins, so within estimate. After that we sat down together and he would do the task with his AI tools and show me how well it works. We spent the rest of the day with that, at first he tried with one of the lesser capable models. It didn't understand the task, messed things up beyond repair or made some really weird decisions. Multiple times the bot said it was done, where items on the todo list weren't completed. So after a couple of hours we switched to a different model, which did better, but still failed on a couple of important aspects. In the end we simply couldn't get a satisfactory result out of the bots, no matter how much coaching and correcting he did. He was going to think about a better example and would show me again next week, so I'm looking forward to that.

The thing that also annoyed me was how long it took. My colleague would type a prompt or connect some tools together and then the thing would go and do stuff in the background. We would sit around for minutes at a time, until we got the result and then had to look at it all and correct / amend etc. The start-stop nature of AI coding really bugged me, it was jarring and left me figuring out what we were doing exactly multiple times. We sat together and were chatting about all sorts of stuff, which probably didn't help, but still.

I hate to break it to you, but when someone states anything in metric, I immediately have a feel for how large that is. That's because we usually state everything in metric, so we don't need to refer to random stuff and just learn the sizes of everything.

This is absolutely fake, I was at antifa hq just last week and spent significant amounts of time in the ball pit.
