looking at potentially getting a x13 gen 1 thinkpad with an amd ryzen pro 5 4650u 8gb soldered ram (no ram slots afaict) 256gb nvme 1080p ips touch panel
going for $275 nzd (~$165 usd), looks to be in quite good condition
after having a little look around, it seems to be a pretty good deal, though the ram is a bit of a bummer

i'm pretty sure that these people who screech about how awful LLMs are for coding are mostly just feeling threatened because they know the LLMs are already better than they are.... and they probably should feel threatened by it.
just thinkg of it like stack overflow on steroids. if it helps you, use it. if not, don't. but don't sit there and judge people for doing stuff that makes them more efficient at their work
for most cases, the purpose of writing code isn't for the code itself to be beautiful or elegant, it's a means to an end (the end product) and the end user isn't going to sit there and marvel at how beautiful your code is. what they care about is stuff like how fast it runs, how secure it is, how much they enjoy the game, how stable the program is, etc.
In southern Gaza, a new massacre unfolds near a humanitarian site as Israel blocks aid and opens fire on starving civilians.
A new massacre was carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip early Sunday morning.

I also do not need to hear from people who can't understand the cognitive load difference between writing code yourself and trying to understand code someone, or *something*, else wrote. Especially when the something else will be able to slip in little bugs that are easy to overlook and which no human coder, not even the most junior, would ever put in there
This is a post about that Ptacek article some people think has some good points for some baffling reason (it doesn't)
If you wanna automatically produce shit code and spend your time babysitting the lying machine then that's a you problem. I'm sure you'll make a consultant who bills out at $150/hour very happy some day. But your character flaws have nothing to do with me so keep that shit to yourself
Also, and I can't believe I'm going to actually deconstruct his arguments further, fucking linters and unit tests? Really?? Putting aside your AI is writing said unit tests so you have no idea what it's testing for, these are tools designed for catching the occasional human flub. They were *not* designed to hold back a tidal wave of sewage such as the one produced by LLMs
Like idk how to tell you this but you can easily introduce bugs that the linter and unit tests won't catch
Honestly I think there's a disconnect between LLM proponents when it comes to code and the rest of us. They see code as a purely mechanical thing, and so ripe for automation. To them claims of artistry and craft are something to roll your eyes at, arrogance from senior engineers who think too highly of themselves
Meanwhile said senior engineers have the decades of experience to know how much of programming relies on artistry and craft, how much of it is fundamentally a creative endeavor
this is like the difference between making a car from scratch and using robots to build one, or using off the shelf components. sure your car will be very special and unique and it may also take you 100 years to finish it
nothing in that article addressed one of my main concerns: how much money and energy it costs. In theory using agents seems like a fun experiment, but ... no one's telling me how much that costs! The main positive that is being touted is that it does it for you and you can ignore it and let it do its work in the background, but how much is that costing?? And how much of that cost is currently subsidised to heck because the suppliers want adoption?
It's like everyone really wants to pretend like energy and computing power comes from nothing and is free.
@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I've accidentally introduced two very subtle bugs in the stdlib of a major programming language—one of which got a CVE and both of which were reviewed by other people—and obviously I was trying quite hard not to make mistakes. I don't understand how anyone expects the random–nonsense–machine not to constantly introduce bugs, given that it doesn't care
the moment the tooling / testing is so strict it could potentially hold back at least some LLM sewage the LLM has absolutely no chance to puke valid code in that language anymore.
Your model has harvested a bunch of open source code and stack overflow answers? I'm sure it's clever (did you ask? Are you insisting that the GPL is carried forward?) but I have written a bunch of open source code and stack overflow answers so I guess I'm still ahead.
we have exactly the same kind of issues in the translation world. For some AI people "translation is a solved problem". But AI keeps adding problems that professional translators need to fix.
sounds, and this wouldn't surprise me, similar to regular editing. In that it's a distinct skill from writing, and that however good an editor you are, you can't edit everyone's work. You can only edit effectively when you understand the whole of a work, not just individual sentences. And even that takes time, work, empathy, and imagination.
And with code, you also need to get several kinds of logic (some quite non-linear, I'd imagine) on top

Die wenigen kritischen Worte vom Außenminister Wadepfuhl, die andeuteten dass man sich so ganz kleines bisschen vorsichtig an die Realität in #Israel #Gaza / #Westbank bzw Völkerrecht herantasten würden, waren offenbar nicht viel mehr als Bühnenzauber.
Wadepfuhl wird seine Position wieder verändern und die Realität in Israel/Palästina und das internationale Recht weiter ignorieren.
Die Union setzt dem Außenminister ein Stopp-Schild: Dessen Kritik an Israel dürfe nicht zu weit gehen. Vor der Fraktion gibt Wadephul offenbar bei. Doch die Zurechtweisungen aus CDU und CSU klingen drastisch. Auch mit Merz sind nicht alle zufrieden.

Die Axel Springer Gruppe hat ein Geschäftsmodell, was es nach dem internationalen Recht gar nicht geben dürfte - sie verdienen direkt Geld beim Immobiliengeschäft beim Siedlungsbau in den von Israel besetzten palästinensischen Gebieten.
