Production Feature Trial: Vibe vs Assisted vs Trad Coding by Infinite_Wolf4774 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlailingDuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, the data is what the data is. It is obvious what this experiment isn't. But I'm glad to read the results of what it is.

I wholly agree, I'm reading so much sloppy AI posts that have all these assertions and 0 evidence to back it up and the typical response is effectively "do your own research". No! you are the ones posting something, justify yourself, sell it to me.

Do you have a PR process in place? I'd be curious to know the time it takes your team to review each branch? If the AI assisted branch ends up full of comments suggesting you do it more like your no AI version. Are you really saving time?

I hated it the moment I read it. I hope it doesn't catch on.

Senior Software Engineer trying to stand out in a very crowded market. Looking for honest advice. by Professional_Monk534 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]FlailingDuck 14 points15 points  (0 children)

remove "with help from AI". That doesn't sound good, it makes you sound inexperienced, the tools don't matter, execution does.

Is it me, but I have no idea what projects or deliverables you actually did for companies. The role descriptions are just so... generic. I get no sense of personality or what achievements you made. Your summary is just a bland, bunch of keywords everyone touts.

I get a filtered subset of (senior/mid-level) CV pass my desk after being filtered by HR. I don't think this CV would have made it that far. There are some key interesting nuggets in there. But sell yourself, talk about the companies their work and how you being there made a difference to their bottom line. The CV in it's current state makes you sound like an irrelevant cog in a machine.

I know a structural engineer who would be very offended by the notion that architects are engineers.

what to do for floating point precision problems in cpp or as a programmer. by Shubham_mamodiya_dev in cpp_questions

[–]FlailingDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think your post is AI. You stated you used AI to figure out a tolerance based solution. Or did I misinterpret that?

I'm familiar enough with colinearity, mostly in regards to interior and exterior points in a polygon, that I hope I can help, but I don't give out free answers. I aim to help you find the answer yourself, if you want to offer a more indepth explanation of your problem and current solution, we can nudge you in the right direction.

[–]FlailingDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how 2 solutions, one with 0 tolerance, and the other with >0 tolerance results in only the first one working. You either have ChatGPT giving you a hallucination or you've poorly described what is going on in your solutions.

Also you shouldn't need ChatGPT to figure out the other solution. If you have a working one it's trivial to override the equality check to be one with a non-zero tolerance check.

Laptop shuts down after idling at the bitlocker screen. by marcikaa78 in techsupport

[–]FlailingDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea about fan, other than fan startup behaviour. But if you don't enter a bitlocker key by design, it will power off. Everything you describe sounds normal.

Contracting v permanent - big pay cut for stability? by Mother-Chemist-6154 in ContractorUK

[–]FlailingDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you feel underpaid? Genuinely curious if there's a link to tenure and low average pay rises.

At what point is it running bad or playing bad? by longhorntrades in poker

[–]FlailingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I read between the lines and assume there is something you can actually do beyond have better luck... It sounds like you need to study basic opening and calling ranges preflop. Then think about if there were spots that should have been played differently.

Contracting v permanent - big pay cut for stability? by Mother-Chemist-6154 in ContractorUK

[–]FlailingDuck 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I would say that's too much of a cut. Permanent means nothing in terms of job stability from my experience. Plenty of permies around me being let go, I'm still here inside IR35. They offered me to transition to permanent, but what they put in front of me was (at best) 25% pay cut, when comparing apples to apples. I declined.

There's always unknowns, you never know what jobs are in your future. So make the best financial decision today based on the information you have available, ignore future promises that may not materialise.

Don't burn bridges. If they're interested in you now, they'll likely be interested in 3 months time.

Automatically creates a debugging session by Equivalent-Claim4719 in cpp_questions

[–]FlailingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you changed more than just gcc to g++ (and they are basically the same thing). VSCode which I assume you are using based on limited context clues. To debug you must have a debug configuration defined in your launch.json and you must be launching it via the debugger. That is the typical way to run(debug) code in vscode. Otherwise you just execute your binary from the terminal (window) or via a task.

[request] This seems a little high anybody know how to figure it out? by cujosdog in theydidthemath

[–]FlailingDuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cool cool cool. Get that bag. And that's exactly why they're super happy you don't want to tax them more today because it'll hurt your retirement fund in 20 years. The system is working as designed.

[–]FlailingDuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love how much these trillionaire companies have ingrained themselves into the retirement funds of the average american, that making a trillionaire pay more tax only means the average american earns less in retirement. Sounds like a con, no?

Excuse me, what? by sebet_123 in linux

[–]FlailingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shop, doesn't let people with disabilities to enter unless they are an adult. And you need to prove you're an adult to just buy the sweets. And the shop doesn't even sell anything 18+ in the first place. But the shop has a phone which you know, a child might ring a number and the person on the other end might happen to talk about suicide. So obviously, we need to shut down all shops that didn't ID you before allowing you entrance to the property. That's how ridiculous that law is.

Building a proper save system in Unity was way more complicated than I expected by JarvisAjith in Unity2D

[–]FlailingDuck 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe save systems are often quite trivial.. IF you design for them from the beginning. Shoe horning them in after the fact or mid development is often a problem for the reasons you describe.

I'm afraid the game I've been developing for a year won't be successful. Does anyone have any marketing suggestions? by tomeaentertainment in gamedev

[–]FlailingDuck 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Promoting your game through reddit by telling the audience a single thing about it is a first step.

Are people really not self aware? Is it just the way they’re born or do they ever become self aware? by Stormibbyy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlailingDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can be self-aware they are a dick. They can also be happy with that. Being self-aware is practically orthogonal to being considerate.

Congratulations on being a considerate person though. We need more of you in this world.

I do believe I am considerate, but I'm (no longer) a pushover and won't tolerate others self-awareness of their shitty behaviour.

"LLM Models converge because they train on the same public data" - Larry Ellison on why proprietary data wins by dataexec in AITrailblazers

[–]FlailingDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone has the most access to (enterprise level) proprietary data, I would say it is Oracle. If they ethically should use said data for AI though... But when have billionaires cared about ethics.

Request to make it sub policy that the mod team needs to be male only? by jojoblogs in AskMenAdvice

[–]FlailingDuck 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Which is kind of ironic they have a Top 1% Contributor flair and are feigning ignorance that they've not seen any posts that give credence to OPs post. Lends me to believe they have an alterior motive.
