Teleportation or building your time machine into a spaceship so you can land.

My daughter has used AI a lot to write grant proposals, which she cleans up and rewords before submitting. In her prompts she tells it to ask her questions and incorporate her answers into the result, which she says works very well, produces high quality writing, and saves her a ton of time. She's actually a very competent writer herself, so when she compliments the quality I know it means something.

Retired dev here, I'm curious about the nature of "the mess". Is it buggy AI-generated code that got into production? I know an active dev who uses ChatGTP every day, says it saves him a hell of a lot of work. What he does sounds like "vibe coding". If you're using AI for grunt work and keep a human is in the workflow to verify the code, I don't see how it would differ from junior devs working under a senior. Have some companies been using poorly managed all-AI tools or what? Sorry for the long question.

And no doubt struggling to blame their bad decisions on each other and preserve their salary bonuses.

I used to feel that way, but Trump has done so much damage he's just not fucking funny anymore, and I wish people would stop generating all the noise to point out how stupid he is. We know, and by now it's WAAAY past funny.

Sadly Mr. Japan died in April.

Could things like this go in linuxmemes? Memes are fun but it would be nice to keep this a place for actual information. And no, this is not a comment on what it's saying, I'm just tired of so many memes.

I remember when "meme" ment an idea that had caught on in the public mind, not any image with text slapped on it.

It's really pretty simple, happy people don't tend to be assholes. Politicians, if you want less crime don't build more prisons, make life better. I mean, that's your job isn't it?

Pretty normal. See "California king size bed".

IMO that would make you a known jagoff, so maybe you should tell him and go out for a beer.

Me too. In fact it really should say, "You could tell him... or you could just be an asshole."

As long as e can clearly get down on his own, just leave him up there.

Yeah man, the light from that little high window is perfect!

So they're saying removing distractions improves focus? Woah dude, spoiler warning!

You're right about the similarities, but having similarities is not what "literally" means. That word is so fucking overused.

The old school method of learning a programming language, database, framework or whatever was to read books and take classes, do a series of exercises that teach you how to use the features, and the errors you get if you don't do it right. Then you write code that way for like 10-15 years.

The Information Age method is to find some sample code, copypaste into an editor and hit Compile, then paste compile errors into google and fix them until there are no more. Then hit Run and copypaste/fix runtime errors until there are no more runtime errors. Old-schoolers used to call this hacking, but now it's called not having time to deeply learn the hot new thing because before you do you'll have to start over with the next hot new thing.

Which casino does your dad own?

I'm really into IoT automation - wiring up Arduino & ESP devices and programming them - but tbh it's hard to think of much to automate IRL. So I haven't automated anything yet. I want a few ourdoor lights to sense motion more elaborately than just having a motion sensor built in - to light up when approached from opposite directions. Also to add switches indoors where I didn't think to put them when I wired the house. So like, have several ESP32 wall switches tell a room light to turn on or off without running new AC lines through the walls. That would be super useful. Another one is subtle night lighting on stairways for safety, so my eventual cause of death isn't falling downstairs after tripping on a cat.
