Likewise... you look in the corner, you see a guy quietly eating cigarette butts. It's ok. He's dealing with a lot of stress for lack of work, or food, or future. He wants to take care of his family. Communism. We haven’t figured out yet. Maybe we never will.

I feel icky about code generation (as in writing software to generate code).

replied to:

Deterministic code generation is fine by me. Quite happy to use templating systems for example. Problems occur when randomness is introduced. If you can avoid that it should be less "icky".

Developed a Vinboard (my pinboard.in clone) shortcut, works really well. On iOS it lives in Share menu, on macOS in the Dock. Click sends the current browser page (Safari, Chrome, Zed, Firefox) for bookmarking. On the server side Jev decides tags from 60 least recently used; and archival opens a real Chrome to save the whole page for posterity. Unlimited API limits and direct requests to the database. Pinboard charges for much less functionality $22/year.

Is this true? Sometimes, AI allows for socratic thinking, this is, the conversation with the machine allows the thinker to go further as the AI thorws ideas to the conversation. Many times, the AI reasoning is not good enough, but like a friend that says a funny think that sparks an idea, the AI can help our brain to see other possible paths. The AI doesn't need to be right to be helpful

…

replied to:

that's only true if a) that "rubber ducky" entity is not leading the line of thinking down the wrong path, and b) the human thinker is actually doing the critical thinking, and not the machine. The latter is where my criticism of unbridled AI use is in this case, wherein the human becomes the rubber ducky instead of the other way around.

replied to:

Indeed. The AI throws back ideas, but it is the human who must do the heavy lifting. In this regard, the AI is a sort of mirror, it reflects what you send it, showing another side the object. But if the human messages are bad, the AI will respond with bad quality answers.

My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep

My 3yo woke up at midnight fully believing that I was about to walk out the door and go to work.

Everytime I come on here I feel so dumb compared to everyone -_- mostly because I didn't come here from GitHub or any other major site like it .. :P

replied to:

I literally came here because I saw the app on F-droid, I didn't even know this app existed until then.

replied to:

Any advantages in using the app instead of having the site as a PWA on Android?

…

replied to:

I don't see any, this is just how I found out about the app and use it.

replied to:

I've never used f droid until getting the app! does it have any other cool apps? :O

…

replied to:

Absolutely! There are many FOSS apps as alternatives to closed ones, I have it on every phone.

看到其他文章有自動翻譯，我覺得很酷

I think it's really cool to see other articles with automatic translation.

continued:

所以我來嘗試一下自動翻譯的文章功能，但發現自動翻譯只有在瀏覽器上，行動裝置要自己手動按翻譯功能。

So I tried the automatic article translation feature, but found that automatic translation only works in the browser; on mobile devices, you have to manually press the translation button.
