I’ve been concerned this day would come. At least as of this moment, it’s smoke being blown on social media. But we all need to pay very careful attention to this going forward, because the moment it actually happens, we are all fucked.

Unfortunately Thursday I may have made a job-ending mistake. It wasn’t huge, but I fear my boss is an unforgiving person who will retaliate. I’ll probably find out either next week or the week after. In the meantime, I’m left stewing in my own paranoia. 🤷‍♂️

But I got four days. So that’s something, right?

Speaking of frames, I got one more to go make. Probably should get started on it. Be a good distraction.

I sleep by myself (well, with my dog, but she doesn’t ruffle the sheets). For me, making my bed is as much as flipping the bed sheets back once I get out of bed. It takes all of one second when I get out of bed; and yes, it looks nicer.

But, no judgement, so you do you.

Ps. It’s only a big deal if you make it a big deal. 😊

Too late.

I wish Stewart would run for office.

Have you considered getting her socks to protect her paws?

Not worries. Meant every word. Plus I got to make an H2G2 reference. Everybody wins.

Is this merely switching from Lemmy to something else, or are you leaving the fediverse completely?

If it’s the latter, then I wish you the very best of luck. I don’t know you very well, but I remember you having had some personal issues in the past. Hopefully those aren’t coming back and you’ve just decided to simply move on. Regardless, your memes and shitposting will be missed.

Good luck to you! Or, as a wise man once wrote, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

No. We need this right now.

Jokes on you. I spend my free time as a means of getting to bed time.

Practice makes perfect.

I get it. As much as I love autocomplete, it’s not perfect. I like the LLM, but I’ve never used (nor do I plan to) an AI service.

Though I’ve been toying with the idea of creating my own local LLM. Maybe that would be better than Copilot or those other public services. 🤷‍♂️

With a username like that, I’d highly recommend staying away from buildings with windows that extend beyond the first floor.

Hi everybody! I have been given the honor of being made a mod of this community, and I wanted to introduce myself to you all as such.

I have never actually moderated a community before, so I will no doubt make mistakes. I promise you that I make every attempt to learn from my mistakes.

Ok, here’s a hot take. I’m avidly against generative AI. But I’m not against using LLMs to help assist with coding. Jetbrains offers a free LLM (they have a separate paid AI service too) to help with code completion, and it’s fairly good for repetitive stuff. It’s also hosted locally on your machine and not a cloud service.

That said, if people want to write boilerplate/template code with AI, fine. But it must be edited, tweaked, and reviewed by a human. This is no different than blindly copying and pasting from places like StackOverflow. You need to know and understand what’s being presented to you so you can know and understand what it’s going to do in your application.

Edit: forgot to lament that writing code is not the time-consuming part. It’s the editing, tweaking, and reviewing process that is. But what do I know? I’ve only been doing this for ~20 years professionally. 🤷‍♂️

Fight fire with fire… and brimstone. Lots of brimstone. 😈

So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?

Do you have any resources you can share for what you’ve done and will do again? My yard right now is very sparse. Literally no grass, but has 3-4ft tall weeds, moss, rocks, and a lot of mushrooms. I don’t necessarily care if I ever have a perfect lawn, but I’d like something else… more appealing.

Naps. Naps are cool.

Not sure how it is across the pond, but here in the US they stick a probe up the tailpipe to measure emissions. 😏
