  • First, read my text fully before replying.

    But additionally I have a brain and can use it to double check:

    In example 1. I just build it blindly because it's a game and it doesn't matter if it's wrong. But it ended up being correct and I ended up having more fun instead of doing excel for an hour.

    In 2. the math result was not far off from my guesstimate and I confirmed later, it was correct.

    In 3. it gave me a source and I read the source. Google did not lead me to that source.

    When I let LLM write code, I read the code, then I test the code. Here is where I get the most faults. Not in spreadsheets or math or research.

  • LLMs are great. You can tell them a problem with words and they figure out what you mean and solve it. You can not ignore the value of it for normal people.

    Some recent examples for me:


    I was playing a factory building game and didn't want to do a spreadsheet by hand for figuring out the optimal amount of which building I have to place to get a wanted output. I told the LLM, copy pasted the wiki for each building. It did some differential equasions and gave me a result and a spreadsheet all in under a minute.

    I had to do some math, without knowing the underlying concepts. Describing the situation and problem and giving it all known values was much easier than reading 5 wikipedia articles, figuring out how to break it down, which formulas to use for each step and how to chain them all.

    I recently googled for half an hour, crawling through shit articles, reading 50page PDFs, none of which contained the detail I wanted, before giving up asking an AI and clicking on the source it quoted to get my reply. Maybe my search terms sucked, maybe I can't ask the right question, because I don't know what I don't know, but the LLM was able to get it.


    Are the problems I described already "solved" more computationally efficiently by other means? Absolutely yes!

    Will it be faster and easier for me to throw it at an LLM? Also yes!

  • Thats not really their conclusion. Thats the Rosetta Code ranking. Table 4 is the one that has summarized results of many tests and includes a lot more languages.

  • If your target audience says too lazy didn't read - I think the bit that applies like a rule of thumb to most cases is more relevant and has a higher practical knowledge value than the intricate details or an "it depends".

    (Similar how you can just explain gravity with newton instead of einstein, to make it short, even though it is less precise or technically false)

  • tldr:

    • faster lang consumes less energy (more or less)


    opinionated tldr:

    • Java surprisingly good lets goooooooo Javaaaaaaa!
    • python so low, ew
  • They don't need to.

    It's my wish to read a blog that discusses the nuances, instead of onesided bla.

  • Yeah thats the point I was trying to make.

    Why is it talked about so onesidedly when it is actually multi-facetted? The blog to me reads like: "there are legal reasons against AI and there are fanatic reasons against AI, so we yive you the option to disable it (but actually it's totally great as we all know and agree)."

    I wish they'd addressed it in a more nuanced way or not at all. Just saying "It is now a config" would have been enough, but they went out of their way to point out only the subset of the arguments that can be easily dismissed.

    Guess they have a product to sell that rides on the succsess of AI coding.

  • Use pastebin to share them

  • Because nobody said it yet: wash your bed with warm water and soap to remove any residue (especially oily fingerprints)

  • raspberry pi + USB raid enclosure in mirror mode with 2x HDD

  • I made it so that the ps1 on my servers shows the servername@[server IP]

  • What is naming in programming?

    [long ass chapter]

    When I see articles like this, I just leave.

    • People buy njalla domain.
    • Start to do illegal stuff on domain.
    • Njalla gets legal complaint.
    • Since njalla doesnt know your personal info, all they can do is shut down the domain
    • People cry that they were "scammed" by njalla for "no reason"
    • Sometimes in these kind of posts, when you pry long enough they admit to doing something illegal (which they think is fine, like pirated media sharing).

    I have my personal website domain and some selfhosted stuff on subdomains on a njalla for over 5 years. Never had any issues cause none of what I do is illegal.
