I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.

This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.

who's on top, who's on second

You were bound to miss it, so I immortalized the moment.

Statistics. Tbh, it is way more. Didn't use the codeium plugin for a long time. Regarding key presses i'm in the 0.10%. Longest streak is not impressive. 21 on codeium and 40 on github or so.

At this moment I'm very happy with the plugin, it knows me completely. * tab tab tab *. Almost always knows what I want to do. It advanced a lot last year, I did quit a few times on it last year for few months because it often sucked. Now it's perfect. Especially under VIM it's very cool!

OMG, you need some blood to run into that walnut sized brain you have on top of your head.

This thing is such a piece of shit. While I subscribe to Chaos Theory, you are not suppose to implement it in a god damn user interface!

This fucking thing sometimes shows controls, sometimes does not. Sometimes some features are available on a section when you access it one way, and then accessing it a different way removes some capabilities from the menus and adds others.

While I subscribe to the theory that there is no such thing as "random" in the universe, this piece of 🐒💩 makes me start to doubt reality. It is not software, it is cochroach infested gaslightware.

God damn you microsoft fuckers piss me off with your ShitPot web hackware.

Yesterday‘s Windows 11 update brought back an old bug which I haven’t seen since Windows 8 or so.

The EN keyboard layout is added in the task bar UI but it‘s not actually there when you try to remove it in the settings.

Fucking hell! Why even make new versions of Windows if it‘s all the same pile of shit?

That‘s not the only old bug that persists across multiple major Windows versions!

Sid the IT guy: so change of plans: I probably can’t fly to East India this spring to fight you since I’m in college, shitty life circumstances, and I don’t have the funds, but I’m happy to reschedule the fight sometime in the future when I go to India. Potentially if you come to the US we could make it happen. I will also plan to be near Amritsar this spring if you wanted to make a trip out there…

Hello all,

Did a MASSIVE spam down vote action..

If you've watched the algo-list you kinda had an idea how much spam there was. In exception of rants, it also down vote the spam comments posted under regular rants. Also made a progress with historic rants.

I think I leave it at this for now, gonna do some machine learning for spam and will apply that as filter in the future.

Site is now clean enough now to not encounter spam just browsing the site.

Our new frenemy Buffon gave as tip the no index tag what is a great idea for users not having reputation < 5 or so. Will contact dfox if he's willing to do this small change.

Now that the whole generative AI debacle is finally dying down, I gotta ask the same question again:
WHY THE FUCK CORPORATIONS INSIST ON FALLIG FOR THE HYPE CYCLE EVERY FUCKING TIME?

I mean, I know why. It's because BigTech,Inc. always convinces companies like "Bob's tech wannabe car windows or something" to pay $$$ for this year's software fashion trends using arguments like "all the cool entrepreneurs are doing it! You don't wanna end up like those communist losers, do you?"
Then BigTech sells some shit that the muggles can't really afford (much less use), then shit hits the fan, then BigTech pretends that they never heard of it (hey, Blockchain IoT self-service BI wereable augmented reality 3D NFT eletric scooters from big data industry 4.0!) then the news cycle moves on. Rinse and repeat.

But, fuck, can't the muggles ever learn fucking ANYTHING? Tech industry is the fast fashion of industries. Do not try to imitate Facebook Google Apple Amazon, let them run their own course towards the cliff.
Instead, do your own thing.
Silicon Valley is not a good example for furniture companies to follow. So stop IKEA chatbots.

I'm going to have to learn about patterns in programming.

Structural and behavioural ones.

I know of several, but I'd love to hear some real-life use cases from y'all, if y'all don't mind.

Websites nowadays feels and look the same in its structure and how its designed and the elements around it

Its almost like software interface designers follow a pattern

I fee like "hand crafted" software for a niche will be the way to go to differentiate yourself and to give unique experience to end users

when your IDE has so much funding and idle hands they make GUI facades over terminal functionalities

but then over time they keep releasing "features" for convenience that entirely make the GUI unusable

what's even the point guys

anti features

When your technical colleagues apply or pressure you to make fixes or implement features w/o understanding how abd why they work. When they discard your proposals/alternatives as inferior, motivating with their superficial knowledge arguments. When they promote new toys over tried and true ones, only because they work using other new technologies and they do stuff automatically, w/o having to think why/how, hoping it'll never fail.

And when it all starts erroring -- turn to @netikras asking to fix the tools I ruled from the beginning as "black boxes of unknown evil"

aren't they the best... :)

is there no longer place for highly technical nerds understanding all the bolts and nuts of big and small tools/systems/solutions..,?

Still struggling with the whole webpack project. We agreed on just doing style for now. (Which also need to be updated but that a whole other drama)

Fucking hate my life right now. Its 16:00 so time for beer and games. And holidays. Have a good holidays here everyone. I cant wait to come back to this shit in 2025.

My boss uses chatgpt to code all the time. I watched his workflow and he will use chatgpt not for code, but to act like a search engine. He seems to be effective using it like this.

I struggle to include chatgpt in my workflow at all. I am using it to help learn C# to clarify things I cannot find in search. It doesn't always help.

So I have mixed feelings about using it in my work flow.

What a journey - a psychedelic shaman in a capitalist world

Dear @Wisecrack
sorry for the 1,5 year cliffhanger... but i hope you still intrested :)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I would send you all Hawk Tuah coin, but I just spent my bonus shopping for ungrateful people. Okay, they aren't ungrateful, just unappreciative.

Anyway, gonna try and avoid devrant for probably a week.

And for you other assholes: Happy Festivus!
