The better way rather than using a vague “make no mistakes” is to feed a template of stylistic preferences like “only var type this, only structures like this, we avoid certain structures or variable types” - as the context window is repeatedly compressed during work, “make no mistakes” probably gets contorted to, “mistakes! make!” then, “MISTAKES!!!”, like “NO, money down!”

Bonus points if the style is stored in the repo as a template, so when the change is done you can just simply go, “ok, now read that style doc again and fix what you re-f’d up”. Sometimes it’ll even go re-read the style doc itself of its own volition.

Using an LLM for dev is like directing an intern on 5 espressos to complete a coding task, but dumber.

See, to preserve the image for posterity, you have to put it on a thumb drive in a nitrogen-sealed UV-filtered case. Otherwise all is for naught.

And much like going from phone call to answering machine to voicemail to visual voicemail (and even for a while being able to text a verbal reply on I believe Sprint back in the day for a bit) we now have phones being able to OCR images, then you can select the text on the image. (Also so the creepsters can harvest metadata on all your images.)

The Senate folded, which forced a vote in the House because that bill changed in the Senate, which brought the House back into session, so she had to be finally sworn in.

It is all, oddly, related.

Extrapolating from there, the Senate Dems decided to gamble American citizens’ health insurance in exchange for some tabloid headline documents. Hoping for…mass sentiment against the Mango presumably? Strike while there is bipartisan support for something in the House. To then what, maybe oust Mango for Couchfucker? Sow distrust? Maybe they just pulled back because they realized the US was inches from doing a general strike? What better time.

Meanwhile, citizens were ready for the long-haul. Effect real change. Get actual attention to being pissed off at this sham of a government. Thrown away for some documents that will be buried in a few disaster news cycles.

This is post-Apple. Apple died roughly around 2008-2011 when they figured out how to capitalize on douche snobbery. Previously they catered to the outliers. The clevil (clever evil) was when they figured out how to market that you are being an outlier if you own their crap. Which, ironically drove away the outliers.

I remember it from classic ones, had never seen it on the Switch one. Pretty hilarious.

How does one piss off that many birds at once in that game?

So thaaat’s the island that SeaQuest DSV traveled to 225 (maybe 218 now) years into the future to find out there were two teens on an island battling it out with video games…

We need to stop letting supervillains pollute the sky with garbage. As well as a moratorium against satellite quantity, and satellites that serve any purpose outside of science and some communication. (Starlink should be deorbited as well, if for no other reason than the atmospheric pollution created by the short life cycle of those satellites.)

We will make the most complex convoluted contrivances before laying down steel and locomotives. Funny part I always liked about the I, Robot movie. No, we didn’t have public transport, everyone just has self-driving cars on roads controlled by a centralized AI.

Captive audience on the contracts side, so they can do whatever they want as crappy as they want and the contracts still generate revenue.

You wanted a usable product? Stay away from Big Tech anymore.

They used to have very comprehensive automated testing processes to exercise all sorts of things. Unfortunately, like many tech companies these days like Apple, Google, etc., they’re all punting QA as a concept because they just don’t care - what are you going to do, go use another oligopoly platform?

All these brainwashed AI-obsessed people should be required to watch I, Robot on loop for a month or two.

And yet, the Patriot Act and all its evil also still exists.

This isn’t worse as much as it can extend those already unconstitutional evil things for yet more unconstitutional evil.

The fart telemetry from the in-seat methane detector is off the chain.

LOL, and no sense to…I don’t know, unplug it and use body heat like we have for centuries?

Campaigned like shit, arrogant enough to think they were a slam dunk, no platform, didn’t even investigate the very vocal voter fraud the R’s said they did. Why ever trust Dems?

The problem comes in so many directions in real life though. Say your company has a very large database. Replicating it across regions means you’re paying for data ingress/egress and more than one region’s copy of that already sharded and/or duplicated database. It even applies when transferring data across AZs in a given region. Backing it up to S3 is expensive, backing it up to Glacier is cheaper, until you ever have to do a restore, and then you have to lay off half the staff to pay for it.

Other issues can arise, possibly through the fault of yourself, sometimes at the fault of Amazon, if data traffic routing has a glitch and data is routing to the wrong place. The onus either way is on your company to show Amazon the receipts if you expect to get credits for the overage. At larger scale, this could be hundreds of thousands of dollars in overage. Easy to torpedo smaller companies with one mistake.

They didn’t used to nickel and dime as hard as they do now, which doesn’t help, but outside of history, they set up AWS to be the biggest slippery slope of wallet-deletion, as almost every move you make costs money. Entire companies exist to manage your AWS costs (for more money, of course) and other companies’ products you may use that are hosted in your infra may accidentally delete your wallet if you don’t constantly monitor them.

Using AWS cost-efficiently is only accomplished by ostensibly day-trading your cloud resources like a high frequency stock trader, capitalizing on unpopular/weird system types, and keeping your code as portable as possible.

…but if one didn’t care about cost, one would probably get pretty good reliability out of them, sure.

Not to be that guy, but having had to repair ovens with these GE control boards on and off, what that display is saying (as the oven is on) is “PRE” for pre-heating.

The updoot lover that created this image just photoshopped the E over the R. You can tell as the segments on both Es are exactly the same in brightness and intensity, which is highly improbable in simple digital electronics design used for these types of boards.

Quinoa obsession has damaged an entire culture. They can’t even afford to eat their own staple crop now.
