FWIW, Alaska and Hawaii are both key strategic locations for the US military which is why they are currently under US control.

I've been using GIMP for over a decade. It's slowly starting to become one of the leading sources of frustration in my computing life. The more I learn about it the less it makes any sense.

Not trying to be negative here. Just saying that a modernization is much needed and I'm really excited for this.

Just stop wasting time/money on Claude. If you already know what you're doing, use a super cheap model like DeepSeek Flash with thinking off to generate the code you want.

There is absolutely no reason (IMO) that a skilled SWE should ever need a model like Opus.

Considering we don't have 24th century fire tech yet I'm guessing this is about Star Trek.

Very familiar with BOC but I have no idea what you mean here. Can you explain this?

[–] replicat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I've always preferred Vim

Isn't that the literal situation for the actor in that case?

Just get in contact with me via some DM-like system and I will get you a copy. My contact info is available on the ReplicatAudio website.

AI Disclosure

I'm an experienced software developer and have been doing this for a very long time (way before LLMs). This is the first plugin I've released since LLMs have taken over software development.

  • LLMs were used to aid in the development process
  • I use a custom agentic harness focused on:
    • Speeding up bulk work
    • Not making engineering / design decisions
  • LLMs were never used to make important choices
  • ALL ARTWORK is 100% human made
    • I have been using Blender for over a decade now
  • I understand all of the code (as well as I normally would at least)
  • I stand by this product and will support it moving forward
  • Despite LLM use, this represents 6+ months of full time work

Thanks so much for checking this out!

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or want to chat. I will be watching this thread as well.

Best native Linux DAWS if you want to try:

  • Bitwig - Like Ableton but better (paid, proprietary)
  • Renoise - Tracker focused (paid, proprietary)
  • Reaper - Clunky but very capable (cheap, proprietary)
  • LLMS - Very simple daw (free, libre)
  • Ardour - Full featured but rough around the edges (free, libre)
  • Bespoke - Modular workflow, supports VSTs (free, libre)
  • VCV Rack - Modular workflow, VCV modules only (free, libre)

All the paid daws have free demos.

FWIW I also release all my plugins with native Linux builds: https://replicataudio.com/

Got some cool new stuff coming out soon. HMU on discord and I will give you free copies (applies to anyone reading this comment).

I'll admit that I overlooked that but a single user is going to be weighted VERY low. Especially if their data looks like an outlier.

Seems pretty unlikely to me that you could really influence the model in a meaningful way like that.

Better off focusing on public/authoritative data that will get weighted a lot heavier.

Yeah.. Normies for sure don't use the term "LLM". I don't think it would scare them though. They're used to being confused 💀

When I see "AI" I think "tech bro hype" whereas "LLM" makes me think the developer is more likely to have a realistic view of the technology.

I guess this depends a lot on your target demo. But but even just cutting down on usage of the exact term "AI" would help I think. Basically anything is better.

I'm new to Fish and really liking it so far but the list type is really confusing me.

Something that I find really non-intuitive about fish is the list data type.

You can set a list like this

set my_list a b c
echo my_list[1] #a

But if you try this it doesnt work:

function mklist
  echo a b c
end
set lst (mklist)
echo $lst[1] # a b c

Putting the echo in quotes doesnt work either.

You can do:

function mklist
    echo a b c
end
set lst (string split " " -- (mklist))
echo $lst[1] # a

But needing to always split your return values is kinda terrible.

So it seems like what fish expects you to do is echo multiple lines.

function mklist
    echo a
    echo b 
    echo c
end
set lst (mklist)
echo $lst[1] # a

Its just very weird to me that it doesnt understand a comma delimited string to be a list.

I feel like I must be missing something.


Edit: FWIW I think I get why they designed it like this after thinking some more. It just feels weird.

This requires you to be explicit about returning lists. Otherwise any echo with spaces would be treated as a list and not a single value

 

I haven't freelanced since the Craigslist / Fiverr days but I'm looking to get back in the game.

Figured this question might be helpful to others as well.

 

In this post, I hope to clarify and expand on some of the points and rebut some of the counter-messaging that we have witnessed.

The ghosts of ancient Hackers past still roam the machines and—through the culture they established—our minds. Their legacy of the forging of craft lingers. A deep and kinetic craft we’ve extended and built a passionate industry on. We are driven by the same wonder, sense of achievement, and elegance of puzzle-solving as they were. Still driven by “The Right Thing.” These constitutional ideas, the very identity of programmers, are increasingly imperiled. Under threat. The future of programming, once so bright and apparent, is now cloaked in foreboding darkness, grifts, and uncertainty.
