  • The two worlds of programming: why developers who make the same observations about LLMs come to opposite conclusions

    Jump

  • That's all correct and true

    I was on a business trip, very sleep deprived and needed a fast solution

    So, I guess, this was the tool for the job

    Probably it got lucky, because with other things it just fucked up after thatSo, my trust into it is nilBut for quick scripts, that would take me much longer to build, it's working

    But I'm also usually using local models

    I'm aware of their power and water consumption, and you're right in that

    Edit: and besides the environmental impact, which I don't use them often or only locally, I'm still a tech guy and want to know, what they're actually capable ofWhich still isn't much and I don't see LLMs getting better with more complexity

    There are to many problemsWe have programming languages for reason, because they're mathematically sound and not ambiguousHuman speech just isn't and that's already the point, why LLMs can never really work for that

    But I was surprised, that it once came up with a solution to filter my log files and calculate some statistics out of itAnd I have to give it that

  • Yeah, same here

    I needed to calculate some statistics from log files and that would have taken me ages - mostly because my sed-/awk-fu is lacking

    But with AI I got a script in half an hour - after correcting it a few times - and it is reasonable ok enough for the job

    I tried to refactor a really large spaghetti state machine with AI, but they're all failing, because it's too large

    It's nice to get boiler plate code written, but when it comes to overview of logic on a large project, they obviously can't keep up

    As you said, it's a tool. But just like with any tool, you shouldn't use it for every use case

  • Synchron sleep

    Jump

  • Yeah, I hope so too

    It's a bit shit, because mother was a stray and isn't vaccinatedSo they got some illness from the start

    But they are too young to get vaccines themselves and I'm currently pretty restricted in what I can doSome potent colostrum for better immunity is currently the thing...

  • Hehe, didn't even thought of that 😂

    Well, we lost an orange cat a bit over a year ago and were completely hard broken - actually still are

    We jumped in to care for this family, after a neighbour took in the mother and now the little ones will stay with usIt's a rollercoaster of emotions... Stuff comes up and we cry, but with this nice family, it's often very therapeutic and we start to get over it.

    The more red one of the little ones is named Fenri(r), because he was really attached to me from the start.Our beloved deceased cat was named Loki and Fenri is a mythological son - also he was the smaller one and needed a strong name ;⁠-⁠)

    By now, I can't imagine to give them away anymore

    Mother should get back to the neighbour, who rescued her, because he really loves herHopefully that will work out, when they get their new apartment with a nice garden

  • Thanks :⁠-⁠)

  • Yeah, tried 3 times, but couldn't get it better without disturbing them...

  • Now imagine, they fall asleep in your hands...

    I don't want to repost, so just checkout my posts before - many bonus pictures in the post body :⁠-⁠)

    But yeah, that's one of the reasons we decided that the little ones will stay with us :⁠-⁠)

    Jump

  • No complaint here, but I would have put a comma before the 'because' ;⁠-⁠)

    And yeah, we tend to separate sentences, because they can get really long and complex on GermanSo probably, we're trained on that o⁠:⁠-⁠)

  • I actually really like the look of my Renault Megane E-TechBattery could be better, but else I'm really happy with it - and the look of it

  • Schlomo cuddling with my wife (hint: more pics in post)

    Jump

  • I see

    Actually, I wanted to make it a bit of a trend to give bonus pictures in the body - but until now, I'm always falling back to tell in the title...

    I think, people, that are interacting should get some bonus :⁠-⁠)

    Jump

  • I'm sorry about that

    Don't you see a post with multiple pictures with text in between?

    That's how I tried to set it up and see in my client (summit)

    And it was also my wife, which fell asleep with SchlomoI was just jelously making pictures ;⁠-⁠)

    Ok, sounds good to me ;⁠-⁠)

  • Do you ask polyamorous people they're polyamorous?

    Jump

  • Oh come on, I was flattered, don't take this away from me ;⁠-⁠)

  • Do you ask polyamorous people they're polyamorous?

    Jump

  • Not sure, I'm a dude and it was the guy of the couple mentioning it at a hello

    But anyway, that was a really different situation than most people will get into - and I don't want to explain that more

    Edit: on second read, it seems we were in kinda the same situation ;⁠-⁠)

  • Do you ask polyamorous people they're polyamorous?

    Jump

  • I was a bit young and just fell silent, because they included it in their greeting, when I was a guest at their place

    Yeah, she was pretty and I would have tried, if I would have had the confidence, but even with the invitation, I stepped back

    Anyway I'm not really big on one night stands, I need to have some emotional connection. Else it just feels like wanking into a women.

    But that's me and others probably would have taken that invitation

  • 22 Best Free C/C++ IDEs and Editors for Linux in 2026

    Jump

  • I've worked years in vim with plugins, but keeing it up with plugins working, that are not maintained anymore was quite a pain.

    It was the most perfect IDE I had though.

    After that, I've tried CLion, because I quickly needed something that worked with really large projects.

    But with every update it got worse.

    Currently I'm on zed and kinda happy with it.There is still some stuff I'm missing and their focus on AI seems to overpower necessary features like multi windows - which is my main concern, as I need those badly.

    But I'm too over worked to actually setup a new vim/neovim environment and don't really know where to go...

    Edit: many co workers went to VS Code, I'm spoiled with the search function of CLion.Editing interfaces just by searching and replacing/extending existing code was a breeze. Didn't find this anywhere else...

  • In my experience, they tend to tell you right away, if they see/feel interest - from both sides
