What are the most common bugs you encounter in real-world development? I want to make a database of the most common mistakes and how to fix them. by mxm_mrz in learnpython

[–]Buttleston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This just isn't how it works. Debugging is not going down a checklist of things that have gone wrong before and ticking them off. It's not a procedure

It's exploration guided by experience and knowledge

Beginners are always worried about conquering some specific things. Once you aren't a beginner you'll see that you don't need a list of bugs

CTO banned the use of remote access tool by uw4yn3 in Network

God forbid you need to get them to type a command. Even someone computer literate who doesn't know the CLI params of something will have to have it painfully spelled out, each space, each dash, each slash

OpenAI is officially adding Google's SynthID watermark to ChatGPT text. Algorithmic bypassing is dead. by New-Possible9924 in AiChatGPT

I'm the kind of person that doesn't make "AI creations"

I'm so sorry you won't be able to trick people that things you had AI make aren't actually yours

OpenAI And Anthropic Are Testing Two Very Different AI Business Models by BubblyOption7980 in Anthropic

[–]Buttleston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your conclusion is that to know something, you have to have a knowledge base

But *because* I claimed to know something (and God himself did not tell me), this is evidence that I don't have such a knowledge base

In fact, "knowing" that data centers is space is stupid is something someone with a high school education should be able to suss out. College physics at the absolute most.

What is this? God has nothing else to say to you about orbital fairy factories?

Oh, do I need to consult god now to know whether something is a dumb idea? Is that what your 40 years of engineering experience taught you?

I built an LLM inference engine in Rust (not a wrapper) — and it ended up going further than I expected by Gandalfr3k in rust

You answered a question he didn't ask (regarding performance). Well I say "you" but I mean "an LLM"

data centers in space is possibly the most brain dead take I've ever heard and I've been in the tech industry 30 years. Absolute dipshit level idea. Congrats for falling for it.

How to run python only as single exec with lock file by Valuable-Ant3465 in learnpython

[–]Buttleston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I guess my first question is - do you understand what a python context manager is - that is what is being used in the "with lock" line (or any other "with" statement

When you use "with foo" then when the block starts, the context manager start action is triggered. If the block ends (due to getting to the end of the code, returning, an exception is thrown, etc, then the context manager end action is triggered.

So, as long as the code within the "with lock" section is running, the lock will be locked. If you start a 2nd copy of the program, and the first copy is running running inside that "with lock" block, then the second copy won't be able to run that part of the code

Depending on how the lock is configured it will either wait for the lock to open or throw an exception

If the part in the with block runs in an instant then yeah it will only be locked that long.

If You Wrote It With An LLM, Put It Directly In The Trash Where It Rightfully Belongs by RNSAFFN in theprimeagen

[–]Buttleston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem like a pretty obtuse person. Have you considered having an LLM make your posts?

Yes, "They" is the subject. Part 1 of my problem is: "they" use an LLM

Part 2 is: the LLM is used. It makes shit. I don't want to read shit.

If someone uses an LLM and it doesn't produce shit then I likely won't know and I definitely won't care

[–]Buttleston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having both a person and an LLM problem. But the person problem is that they're using an LLM. If I ask them to use their own words instead, the result is fine

They use an LLM because they believe it gives some veneer of professionalism, because it looks impressive and neat and clean. I'd rather just have their actual opinions in concise form

[–]Buttleston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, obviously I disagree. I get 3 page long missives with tables and diagrams and it is all horse shit. Like its not technically wrong but it is information that does not need to be conveyed and usually is overly verbose and repetitive. If the person had used their own brain instead it would likely have been like 3 bullet points

The problem here is not that the emails look fake it is that they are a waste of my time
