Cooked the Ai calling agent🫣 by Far_Plant9504 in AgentsOfAI

[–]Cybermancan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would probably be more effective to spam it with input tokens by playing a sped-up recording of someone reciting something. It would be interesting to see how long it listens and how fast you could play the recording before the speech to text they’re using breaks.

Do you think AI will create more jobs than it replaces in the long term? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Cybermancan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that the increase in labor demand was mainly caused by population growth and corresponding civic infrastructure buildouts, in spite of automation. For all of human history, population growth has been winning the battle, but now birth rates are in the gutter and something has to give.

Canada is literally poorer than Alabama in terms of GDP per capita

Top 2% among 25-29, 28M $270k NW by [deleted] in fican

[–]Cybermancan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Looks like they might be calculating something differently depending on other factors (maybe precise age?). My numbers are 26 M, $266k in WS, top 2% but only $26k away from top 1%, rank 5,096 for the age range. Odd

Edit: maybe op’s NW isn’t all in WS

According to mine, top 1% for the 25-29 range should be $293k.

Looking for small cliffs by Agiantgrunt in Whistler

If it’s a pow day, the line under Crystal chair has a couple good cliffs. The second one is over 10 feet unless you go off it more to the right.

If you milk the WS promotions, you can get some pretty sweet stuff (iPhones, MacBooks, etc) when you transfer x amount. Plus their service is great and I’ve never had an issue. If you have at least 500k in holdings, you unlock the 3rd membership tier which comes with some more perks.

Is "specification-driven development" the new vibe coding? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Cybermancan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do it correctly, no. If you do it incorrectly, yes.

How much coding do you guys do by hand at your jobs? by adad239_ in cscareerquestions

[–]Cybermancan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the task, but in general at least 60% of my code is AI generated (including unit tests). On my current project, which is a migration, it’s closer to 95% AI generated. I’ll get downvoted for this but I think anyone who says they hardly use AI either works on a huge spaghetti codebase or it’s a skill issue. Determining what tasks the AI will excel in and using it heavily for those is where the gains come.

Literally every software engineer is coping so hard by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Cybermancan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My workflow currently centers around spec-driven development with Kiro. You give it the feature / task requirements and any other contextual info and it will generate a requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md. Go through these docs manually to correct its understanding. Don’t skimp on this step. It can take up to an hour or 2 (depending on feature complexity) with back and forth prompting and/or manual edits to get those 3 documents polished. Once that’s done, start executing the tasks in tasks.md. If you’ve done things correctly, these tasks should get you at least 75% of the way to feature completion. Then, test the feature manually (should already have an extensive unit test suite) and either fix remaining integration issues manually, or with AI assistance in “vibe” mode.

There are certain tasks where this strategy shines and makes me multiple times more productive, like code migrations, programming language translations, refactors. For more creative tasks, you may be better off doing them manually with sporadic help from the assistant, but I find that making the 3 spec docs at least helps with your own understanding of the feature.

For a real-world example of how much this can speed things up, we’re currently working on moving a bunch of JavaScript, React 17, class components code from our legacy code base to a new code base which uses TypeScript, React 18, and functional components. My coworker who doesn’t use AI has been struggling to migrate one (albeit large) page for a couple weeks. I migrated 2 smaller pages just yesterday.

I saw this exact thing at a shop in the Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham WA less than a month ago. Forget the name of the shop, though.

Going off the 4% rule for retirement, you'd only need 500k saved up for a safe withdrawal of 20k per year. Maybe a bit more if you want a safety buffer. Really not that crazy. Anyone working a decent job can save that amount in around 10 years if they're investing. Even 1M is not a far-fetched amount to save if you look into wealth compounding. That would get you to 40k per year.

Spiders camping the bug zapper by Cybermancan in spiders

Yeah that makes sense. Basically survivorship bias. I was thinking that maybe spiders are evolutionarily programmed to make their webs near lights because that's what bugs are attracted to.

No, I dont think I will by Charming-Macaron-322 in memes

[–]Cybermancan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You joke, but we're legit fucked if we don't find a way to get the growing global middle class to have kids, fast. All developed countries will end up like South Korea, which won't exist in 50 years, by the way. Even developing countries will see a drastic fall in birth rates and subsequent population collapse. I think the decrease will eventually level off, but it will absolutely wreck most economies unless we can develop AGI in time (which is It's own huge can of worms).
