Comment Re:Claim that coding will be done by AI is puzling (Score 1) 119

I argued with an LLM for about an hour about how to properly escape paths with whitespace in them for passing to AWK. I could have fixed it myself quicker, but I wanted to see just how many times of going 'No, you have to because " it'd take before it'd realize what the actual issue was.

It took a *long time*

Comment Used it to configure my home server (Score 1) 248

Using Warp terminal, it actually nice for a non-admin to ask questions to Claude and get some really helpful work.

I do not know every in and out of Linux server config, my day job doesn't depend on that I do. So I can connect up, ask Claude, "is this service running?" or " My plex server isn't responding, can we run some diagnostics?"

Is it perfect? No, is it better than me? Oh god yes. Is my system a mission critical server? Not in the slightest.

But its fun, I actually can get a working docker server, a secure ssh client, mailcow, plex, jellyfin, factorio....hell what else can I load. If I run into issues I ask Claude, and it can step me thru the correction, or just do it.

It has no idea what I want to do, it has no idea my end goal, but I say conquer that hill, its been doing it's best to do it. The campaign it doesn't know or care. Perfect little helper.

I don't have a subscription to Warp's services yet. They give a limited amount of tokens to Claude monthly, which seems fine to me. Only had 1 month run out. Which for non-production systems...is fine. I can wait. I'm am considering subscribing, it's just been dang helpful.

Coding? Haven't done it seriously yet, I typically code on an ERP system, that is just starting with AL/MLL stuff. Haven't gotten to far. But with server support, it's making me have fun, "hows this work? can we check this?" and there's no judgement on my actions as to why? For personal stuff, this is great.

For production environments, I'd worry. I don't use it at work. I asked the software team to check it out to see if we could, so it's on the list. But I'd want to be sure of security. some nooby could ask some server destroying question and try to implement, sure sudo should stop most, but there always seems to be one file or config that slips past, so I'de be a bit concerned till it proved itself there.

Comment Air India's "Perfect" Flight Record. (Score 1) 108

Hi. I think you are confused.

Air India crashes/fatalities:
* Air India Flight 101 CONTROLLED FLIGHT INTO TERRAIN -- https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...
* Air India Flight 855 PILOT ERROR -- https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

What does the word perfect mean to you? Those are crashes. People died.

We can even add:
* Air India Flight 182 BOMBING -- https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

Though that's also on the staff at the airport doing security screenings.
