My bro, your TA wasn’t better at coding because “higher IQ”. They were better because they put in the hours to build the instincts and techniques that characterize an experienced developer. As for LLM usage, my advice is to be aware of what they are and what the aren’t. They are a randomized word prediction engine trained on— among other things— all the publicly available code on the internet. This means they’ll be pretty good at solving problems that it has seen in its training set. You could use it to get things set up and maybe get something partway done, depending on how novel your idea is. An LLM cannot think or solve novel problems, and they also generally will confidently fake an answer rather than say they don’t know something, because truly, they don’t know anything. To actually make it to the finish line, you’ll almost certainly need to know how to finish it yourself, or learn how to as you go.

Agree on all points. Act 1 was the best. Your reward for playing all the way through is you get to play Act 1 again, as a full-fledged game of its own.

Similar story here except for the longest time I didn’t realize that my fellow church goers didn’t know what the Bible said, and thus couldn’t distinguish between biblical lessons and purely made-up ones

GPT-4 “powered” lol

Me after killing Emma in Sekiro to get the Shura ending

Hope they get the sound right this time. And fix the effects slowdown glitch. And don’t introduce new weirdness.

Will this be enough to get the public to turn? I hope so, but somehow I don’t think so.

So, 4chan. You want Twitter to be 4chan.

It is 100% suggestive.

• laying down
• short shorts
• knees up
• cheeks out, crotch just barely covered

I see it’s a popular tactic to accuse the whistleblowers as being the ones with the real problem, which is a bullshit attempt to suppress discourse on the topic. I have another idea: that maybe those who claim that this picture isn’t sexual have been overexposed to much harder child sexual content, and as a result this picture doesn’t register on their radar. Speaking as someone who has not been exposed to any child sexual material, this is immediately, obviously meant to titillate.

The man-hour myth will never die in the management class

There are definitely parts of programming that are boring and repetitive. I’ve been using AI to speed that up. I still do the creative parts 100% myself.

PRs still need to be reasonable size for human review, regardless of how they were authored. IMO

Linux Mint Cinnamon is very low friction to install and use for first timers from Windows

Linda Hamilton circa Beauty and the Beast

Michelle Pfeiffer circa Ladyhawke

I never thought to check if there was French available! Nice callout. The English VA is really good though.

Didn’t they literally just lose a court case about this very thing?

Oh, I hate this one

True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

Plus, I’ve never glimpsed another bathroom-goer’s potty parts in a public bathroom. It’s such a made-up non-issue.
