Comment Re:I will believe you are serious ... (Score 0, Troll) 116

I'll believe they're serious when they start living the lifestyles they claim we'll need to curve the trend. Tons of posts about Trump but none about the supposed environmentalists who are still living the same lifestyles of the average Trump supporter. Where is the low-hanging fruit? Why aren't these people changing their ways? Why ask those who oppose your agenda when your own "believers" can't be bothered?

If these people were serious we'd see EV adaption in the double digits and be able to walk into any restaurant and get a vegetarian meal without having to double guess what may or may not be used to create it. We're not seeing that. We're not going to see that because environmentalism is only an issue when it comes down to politics and not lifestyle in the minds of these people. They want to weaponize environmentalisms as a political tool, not as a practical guide for end-user consumption.

But, you know, fOlLoW tHe ScIeNcE!!!

Comment Re:Speaking of Amazon and books... (Score 0) 57

The reason I pulled away from Amazon is because I'm not going to sit around pissing myself about the rich while funding their wealth at the same time. Too bad too many assholes don't feel the same about the situation. I still like physical books, for the most part, so now I buy used from Half Priced Books who has a local storefront.

Comment Vibe coding just is... (Score 1) 61

I've been programming now for over fifty years. I'll also say that I'm using vibe coding for personal projects. So far, I'm getting good results. Here are some tips:

1. Know what you're doing. Right now, I'm working on an interpreter for a DSL. But I already know the basic structure of interpreters. I can tell when the code the AI is turning out is good or bad. When it's bad, I tell it what's good and ask it to correct the bad code. This usually works.

2. Vibe code in small chunks. I didn't say code the interpreter and here's the syntax. I coded it piece by piece - language primitives, environment structure, control flow primitives, etc. Each step of the way I checked the output to make sure it was what I wanted.

3. Let it write tests. Again, AI's are pretty good at looking at a piece of well-written code and building tests for it. If you point out corner cases you want tested, it will crank those out pretty well.

4. Show it what you want. If you want a particular style in the code, let it know. It will follow that extremely well.

5. Use it for boilerplate. Let's say I have five primitive types in my language. I work with the AI to generate the first one. Then I say "Do the same thing for these other four primitives". AI works well off examples, so give it some.

AI works pretty well if you know what you're doing and how to use it. I think of it as a relatively diligent junior coder. And it works about that well.

Just relabel bookmarks as tabs and there you go.

Its already treating them as bookmarks though.. I just wish mozilla would fix smaller things like giving a site storage size limit that actually worked and didn't just ignore it and also wouldn't churn disk as much for no reason at all.

Comment If you don't hire entry-level workers now... (Score 1) 160

... where will you find experienced workers seven years from now? Seems like someone's making a really big bet on AI improving a whole lot soon. And when the next AI winter comes, a lot of people will be paying a lot more for the workforce they need.

Yes inherently its just running on the customers computer anyway, so they don't actually have control.

Not sending other players locations when not necessary etc would be cooler.

And you can cheat by off-device means anyway, you can do an aimbot that doesn't run any code on the computer now.
