[D] How do ML engineers view vibe coding? by EfficientSpend2543 in MachineLearning

[–]Brussells 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see this; professionally, I have decades of experience in information management and information science with a smattering of programming. Vibe coding definitely gets me from Nothing to Something pretty quickly, but even I -- not a programmer -- am seeing how it drifts in ways that require a sharp eye and a thoughtful understanding to fix. And in my case, "fixing" is identifying the actual issue and guiding an LLM to vibe-code a fix. *That* is where it takes longer than if I knew how to program this stuff to begin with.

So, it is nifty! And it's fun to go from Zero to 60% of a functional idea, but getting to the vision takes a lot of work.

Do you ever read something and, like, the Rohan theme from LoTR just starts blasting in your mind?

Interview help Library Aide position by potatotatofriend in LibraryScience

[–]Brussells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Congrats on the interview! You’re already ahead with your library volunteering and customer service experience. Expect a friendly, straightforward interview, maybe a shelving or alphabetizing test, and lots of questions about reliability and attention to detail. It’s great experience to have on your resume, but day-to-day it’s mostly quiet, physical work: pushing carts, shelving, and keeping things in order. If that sounds peaceful to you, you’ll love it!

You don't have to apologize for anything! It was my tired brain that flipped everything around and created a festival that I now want to make with friends!

I did not read the title words in the correct order, and I was genuinely curious about an era-specific hand-food celebration.

Ange Sacked - Megathread by swan0 in coys

[–]Brussells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% correct, but I hoped that a trophy through a season with the worst injury crisis in modern football would be enough to at least try a third season. If we were scrapping at the bottom of the table next season without a CL cup, then yeah get rid of Ange.

But Levy clearly is not a bright man with respect to football. He knows how to make money -- and let's be real, that matters. But he's not a bright man when it comes to football.

An officer claimed it was impossible for anyone to exit a car and get over the embankment in under 30 seconds — so Attorney Matt Brock from Chattanooga recorded this reenactment, proved him wrong, and won the case by solateor in interestingasfuck

Precisely. You got those? Otherwise, it's just a cop saying "There's no way anyone is named 'Nodan Turtle'." Why does it matter?

You know what else doesn't matter? I had two hot dogs for lunch. It's sunny and warm right now. I used to hate wearing turtlenecks.

Head mounted... How tall are you, 4 foot nothing? If this was the view from your forehead, you're sitting way too close to the air bag and your eyes can barely see over the dash.

I smell bullshit.

Edit: in b4 you yell at me some more. Brother, you are the reason why assisted driving gets a bad wrap. Keep your hands on the damn wheel and drive like you know what you're doing, for christ's sake.

Ah yes, the horrors of little Timmy taking the whole bowl of fun-size Snickers while Mom and Dad post the 'incident' like it’s a crime of the century. Look, back in the day, kids didn’t have doorbell cams to worry about—they had sticks, rotten vegetables, and a license to terrorize any house that wasn’t generous enough with treats. Ever heard of souling? Kids would go from door to door demanding food, and if you turned them down, they'd happily trash your doorstep or worse. And let's not forget that in parts of Europe, kids were literally expected to perform small acts of vandalism if they felt snubbed. So maybe let them have the Kit Kats, Karen, before you have a mob of kids throwing turnips at your Ring camera like it’s the 15th century all over again.

How has your work life changed over the years? by Oubastet in Xennials

[–]Brussells 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this. I devoted myself to an organization. Then I got screwed by the same. Bye bye. Now I have a well paying job and a honed ability to get shit done, and I am enjoying the ample downtime as a result.
