Can second LibreWolf, though you have to be aware that it tweaks quite a few things in the name of privacy that you may want to turn back on.

For example, I was unable to use my FoundryVTT webapp until I re-enabled WebGL in the settings. Which reminds me, I need to see if that feature can be whitelisted per-domain or if it’s all-or-nothing…

Wait until he learns that physics is just applied mathematics

How hilarious would it be if the AMD board member was the one who veto’d the driver 😅

Auditing the code it produces is basically the only effective way to use coding LLMs at this point.

You’re basically playing the role of senior dev code reviewing and editing a junior dev’s code, except in this case the junior dev randomly writes an amalgamation of mostly valid, extremely wonky, and/or complete bullshit code. It has no concept of best practices, or fitness for purpose, or anything you’d expect a junior dev to learn as they gain experience.

Now given the above, you might ask yourself: “Self, what if I myself don’t have the skills or experience of a senior dev?” This is where vibe coding gets sketchy or downright dangerous: if you don’t notice the problems in generated code, you’re doomed to fail sooner or later. If you’re lucky, you end up having to do a big refactoring when you realize the code is brittle. If you’re unlucky, your backend is compromised and your CTO is having to decide whether to pay off the ransomware demands or just take a chance on restoring the latest backup.

If you’re just trying to slap together a quick and dirty proof of concept or bang out a one-shot script to accomplish a task, it’s fairly useful. If you’re trying to implement anything moderately complex or that you intend to support for months/years, you’re better off just writing it yourself as you’ll end up with something stylistically cohesive and more easily maintainable.

As someone who has been shoved in the direction of using AI for coding by my superiors, that’s been my experience as well. It’s fine at cranking out stackoverflow-level code regurgitation and mostly connecting things in a sane way if the concept is simple enough. The real breakthrough would be if the corrections you make would persist longer than a turn or two. As soon as your “fix-it prompt” is out of the context window, you’re effectively back to square one. If you’re expecting it to “learn” you’re gonna have a bad time. If you’re not constantly double checking its output, you’re gonna have a bad time.

TOR was invented by the US military so I’d be really fuckin shocked if the other branches of government/allies weren’t acutely aware of how it works and what its strengths and weaknesses are.

files with 10k lines of code

oh my sweet summer child.

I was once charged with maintaining an application with a median line count of 40k. The largest file was 87kLOC with 2nd place going to a 69kLOC (nice) file filled with interwoven C and inline assembly. My favorite was a 51kLOC file with a 32,621 line function.

Miracle I didn’t develop alcoholism during that job.

That would explain why your water’s so cold, at least

I tend to block at the user and community level, my only instance block is feddit.de and that’s only because I don’t speak German and those folks are such prolific posters it felt like I was touring central Europe every time I’d go to the All feed.

Blocking what you’re not interested in is the second best part of Lemmy, IMO.

I’ve been using nala for a long time anyway

Does Simba know about this?
