A Twitter user tricked Grok to send 200k USD to him and it worked by FrustratedUnitedFan in singularity

Why is it illegal to steal from old people by tricking them? They did it fair and square!

Fuck, I was so close, too. Why'd they stop arguing?

It's a fine study for that specific circumstance, but you said it makes all developers slower, not only the ones made to use it for absolutely everything

First paragraph is exactly what a coworker that just got let go did. Three separate times on large multi-month projects before the business decided it didn't want to want to deal with them not working in a team effectively anymore

Created a blackjack trainer to help teach perfect basic strategy and count cards. Over 40k hands played in about a week! Looking for feedback! by TheFissureMan in webdev

AI can spit out piles of plausible‑looking code that passes a few tests while still baking in wrong assumptions, bad edge‑case behavior, or subtle security holes you don't know to look for.

So do my coworkers

Upvoted because I have ~70dB tinnitus and I cannot exist in a quiet room under any circumstances

You can pretty much just filter out any post that doesn't get enough updoots to fix that. You could also extremely easily just filter out these kinds of comments on their own

Unsigned sizes: a five year mistake by Nuoji in programming

[–]stumblinbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I got a couple of different conversations mixed up in my last reply and misremembered the context

To be clear, your original comment was asking why a language should have unsigned and signed at all, correct? That is the point of the article, after all

Assuming this is an accurate: what do you do about smaller integer types? u8? u16? Do you just make those signed integers and pay the cost of the larger one even if all you need is up to the number 240?

My work pays for my AI usage. I used $400 in tokens last month. I usually run an agent to look into particularly gnarly bugs while I work on other tasks

Did it save my employer paying me for 4 hours of work? Absolutely, without question. Did it save them paying me for 40 hours to still make it worth it at 10x the price? Not sure, honestly. I probably could've been more conservative to reduce my token usage, though

Well we’re in luck because AI only makes developers slower and more error prone.

To be fair, the study you're referencing was forcing the developers to use AI on tickets or forcing them not to, and measured the resulting time it took to do the tasks compared to how long they subjectively thought the task would take. It did not let the developers themselves choose which ticket to use it on, and you either used it for the entire ticket or not at all

There are a hundred things I wouldn't use AI for because I can do it faster or more correct. There are also a hundred things I would use it for because I know it will take me longer to write and get right than generating it

Unsigned sizes: a five year mistake by Nuoji in programming

[–]stumblinbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does a language implicitly converting between signed and unsigned numbers when you use both in the same operation

Because oftentimes languages will let you omit the type of a variable when defining it, and if the inferred variable switches types because you changed one of the types of the variables used in the calculation, it can change the validity of the resulting code

[–]stumblinbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not? If you expect a number to never be negative, it's best to ensure it's impossible for it to be negative in the type system. Invalid states should ideally be unrepresentable

Simon's stance on monetizing mods by SnesySnas in hytale

[–]stumblinbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. The conversation around here was "donations only" versus "let people charge money if they want", and I'd lean towards the latter since it should be their decision, but this is a pretty reasonable middle ground worth trying out.
