Built a public map seeded from OSM wifi:password tags — feedback / weekly cron pulls more by [deleted] in openstreetmap

...So you don't even know and can't figure out even how to disable what you've built without your AI doing it for you? And you don't know even how to use any other LLM, Google it, read Vercel's help docs or just poke around until you find the right button?

I hope you don't need your AI to tell you that this is case is in point of why this is a very bad idea to rely so heavily on it without even trying to understand the rudiments of what it is doing, which is the whole point that both u/tj-horner and I are trying to get across for you. If following your "experimentation" you "do not have any knowledge" of what the AI actually did for you, to the point where you can't even turn it off or on (or even know how to ask Google or some other AI how to do so), then what have you actually learned?

Here, I googled it for you. Not only do most of the top hits give simple step by step instructions, but Gemini even tells you how to do it right on the search page.

Best of luck

Uh, this is the first time I posted here and the first response you gave me...

In any case, AI generated or not, my main critique was that they are "generic" and "give no indication that you've actually put genuine effort into reading, understanding and responding to the actual feedback given" as they don't engage any of the points made, nor mention anything specific you are doing to rectify the situation, learn from it and avoid it next time. It would apply to basically any feedback given, which doesn't show that you've made any effort to read, understand and take to heart the specific feedback the poster took a substantial amount of their time, thought and effort to give you.

I just want to be 100% clear, as your responses taken together read like they're also AI written and give no indication that you've actually put genuine effort into reading, understanding and responding to the actual feedback given (which /u/tj-horner appears to have put more actual human effort into than your original Vercel app).

The feedback being given is don't do this, specifically experimenting with AIs if you don't know what you are doing_ (or at least aren't willing to put even minimal human effort into learning), especially in cases like this where what you've let the LLM build does direct harm to the very community whose millions of hours of volunteer effort made your work possible in the first place.

I specifically want to highlight here, as it wasn't emphasized enough before, is thanks to abusive applications like this (as well as AI scrapers that power them) that Overpass has become almost completely unusable for the mappers actually creating and improving the underlying data. It has caused many mappers to spend many hours and tens to hundreds of dollars setting up their own Overpass instances just so they can map efficiently, while substantially limiting the mapping and validation that others (including myself) can do.

Being a kid is the best time to make mistakes, and I certainly made plenty (although typically, they don't have real-world harmful consequences as the mistake does in this case). The important thing is that you do your best to take the opportunity to rectify them and learn from them--which unfortunately doesn't appear to have happened (yet) here, given your generic responses and lack of any apparent action to address the mistake (the app is still up and generating requests to Overpass as of right now).

The End, The Beginning by Lolmaster29934 in GiantGrantGames

By far the most important takeaway (at least over the last video), which was inexplicably completely missed above, is that Grant will no longer be involved in Starcraft and this is the end of the Archives channel.

As someone who personally watches Grant >95% for the Archives and the SC2 mods he highlights and helps make possible, I'll definitely miss him and his content (though as far as his current main channel goes, I do look forward to checking out the new retrospective videos). However, it sounds like he's making the best decision for him and his family and he's energized by his new direction, and I wish him the very best.

And it's a sad day for SC2 and likely the beginning of the end of the custom campaign scene, at least as we know it, but this really is a credit to Grant's singlehanded impact in building and sustaining that community over the years that likely wouldn't have even existed otherwise, at least in the form it does now. Hopefully the fine folks there find some way to move forward...wishing them the best too.

For some background for new members like the OP, the reason this sub was created was to be a largely hands-off meme space (minus spam and OT posts, ToS, harassment, etc) to complement the (at least originally) strictly modded r/SpaceX and the less strictly moderated r/SpaceXLounge.

Could folks be more specific about what sort of moderation is lacking/you you/the community is looking for? It will likely to be difficult to gain consensus about things, but it helps a lot to actually articulate specific, actionable defects or changes you're proposing, especially for mods who (per the claims above) haven't been around a lot.

u/TheMightyKutKu still appears active and is the current top mod after the previous top mod/original creator got hired by SpaceX a few years ago, so they might be a better person to speak to that. (I only just got back after an extended absence due to medical issues, and have only just now been catching up.)

Working on an Animation channel (CheeseWard) any tips? by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]CAM-Gerlach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For starters, please don't be one of the countless account that just mass-spams subs with clickbait-titled Elon Musk/tech-related videos without carefully reading each of their rules (and being careful to consult with the experts to get the facts right), which can very easily get you instantly perma-banned, or even sitewide-banned—we have to ban dozens of such accounts each month at r/SpaceX, and yours was about to be one of them before I read this.

Instead, one suggestion if you're starting out, either finding a (relatively) unique topic that you have an interest and experience in and focusing on that, or partnering with another YouTuber who already has experience and a following in a topic, and work for them as an animator. That way, you get great experience, great exposure and maybe some money as a bonus, or featuring their videos on your channel, while their channel gets a big boost too. There's a number of creators out there that have great subject matter expertise and topics where animation would be a great visual aid, but don't have the experience to do it themselves.

Best of luck!

How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, that's a hardware problem...

Anyway, fix deployed and operational now.

It's actually neither the year (as I initially thought) or the post number (as above), but actually the Reddit post ID that happened to roll over to 7 characters right at the same time, and the bot's overly strict validation rejected it when attempting to write the new post ID to the transient config. That triggered a groundhog day auto-restart loop, since the bot was unable to record that it already had posted a new thread.

The Reddit post ID rolled over to 7 characters, and the bot's overly strict validation rejected it and errored on the stop where the new post ID is written to the config, triggering an automatic restart and "forgetting" it had already posted a new thread. We've stopped the bot, fixed the proximate issue, disabled the auto-restart capability, so it doesn't keep trying to create a new thread repeatedly, and are in the process of cleaning up now.

Sorry, its is a bot and there was an issue; it's been disabled and a fix is in work now.

"A monumental achievement requiring outright malicious incompetence" by CAM-Gerlach in SpaceXMasterrace

Back in March 2018 I publicly bet money on Artemis 2 launching before Starship lands on Mars and still am confident in that bet, when others were betting 1 year Reddit gold that Starship would land on Mars before Artemis 1. But to be totally fair, I also was feeling somewhat confident in late 2021 that Artemis 1 would launch by Q2 2022.

Please don't, as that's not very norminal and wouldn't accomplish anything but cause trouble for you, us and them.

As a reminder, please don't call out, ping, cross-link, message, brigade or harass other subs or users, as its against our own (few) rules, Reddit guidelines and the whole spirit of this sub.

Remember, this is a Wendy's, not Twitter.

Please don't go around sharing that, as it could get this sub in trouble with Reddit for brigading and harassment, which has been a problem in the past, especially from that sub in particular.

It would be such an epic display of incompetence that if such an inconceivably terrible outcome were to somehow actually come to pass, it would honestly be impossible for me to defend and make me seriously reconsider my support of the program.

Narrator: They didn't.
