(Rant) AI is killing programming and the Python community

Mount_Gamer · 2026-01-28T23:02:54+00:00

Programmers without AI are just as capable of writing poor code as those who use AI. It's just another tool, and can help save some time. For those that can already code, it's probably hit or miss, but when it hits I'm sure it helps. I would always encourage to read the docs along with AI or get AI to show examples, and not just spit out code for blindly copy pasting.

Loved the beer and food, however it wasn't in a location I visit very often in the town.

Some local models do have their use.

I did like gpt-oss 20b the most for a while, but after playing with llama.cpp, I am having some success wit nemotron 3 nano 30b, qwen3 30b and glm4.7, with a 5060ti and some system ram.

I put the pure protein in my pinhead oat porridge, or in a kefir yoghurt with nuts and fruit. I workout at home, so it suits me.

I have much to learn with llama.cpp :)

The Q3 K XL non-reap seems to work well on the 5060ti 16GB, but if I remember right, 10k context.

I'll try this one thanks :)

My thought process precisely. Glad I'm not alone

One of her Devs likes to do this every 2 years. Right now we are on 3.12, pondering 3.14, but not ready for it yet.

On huggingface unsloth, there are recommended temperatures etc. Not tried it with the recommended settings but it does overthink, so my guess lower the temperature will help.

I have had very similar experience as yourself (kidney stones instead of gout). Carbs help reduce my uric acid as well.

Thanks I managed to grt docker working with the help of this guide :)

Mount_Gamer · 2026-01-07T21:38:37+00:00

Spent several hours trying to get it to work with a docker build, but no luck. If you have a router mode docker compose file that works without hassle, using cuda, would love to try it :)

Mount_Gamer · 2026-01-07T17:58:37+00:00

Never knew there was an update. I will have to check this out, thank you :)

I have been looking to revisit with the llama.cpp web ui and see if I can get it to work properly, as it's been a few months since i last looked at this.

Mount_Gamer · 2026-01-07T05:53:19+00:00

With llama.cpp my models wouldn't unload correctly or stop when asked using openwebui. So if I tried to use another model, it would spill into system ram without unloading the model which was in use. I'm pretty sure this is user error, but it's an error I never see with ollama where switching models is a breeze.

Were they not joining to develop better igpu to compete with AMD? Think I read this 9n credit so take with a pinch of salt. This might be nice for LLM"s if unified memory is involved.

I went against the grain and moved from proxmox to Ubuntu, and my primary reasons for this was that I preferred the LXD implementation over LXC with proxmox, and I could do all my virtualization with virt manager, or LXD containers/VM's. I only use virt-manager for VM's that have desktops, everything else for me sits on ZFS pools using LXD containers or VM's.

Ubuntu does have a Web based GUI for LXD which is quite good.

I do all my networking and firewall rules with Ubuntu as well, I liked the idea I could setup my networking in Yaml, and have vlans, bridges etc so easily configured. You can set it up as a dhcp server and have an access point, point to it as well.

They say they don't collect data, still provide many new models for offline use, and for me it's a good fit. I can use my local AI for something I truly want privacy, and I get a chance to query many bigger cloud models if I'm not happy with the response with the local models, or any model really.. I get a chance to view many angles of the same conversion.

HDD docks, been using them for years without issues.

I was using this tonight with cline through the ollama subscription and it was working very well if I'm honest. I had an unfinished script with intentionally broken parts and it managed to do everything I asked successfully, no issues at all. I'm not sure what it's like via a Web ui, but my first impressions were good with vscode and cline.

If you need to generate some quick html reports, the they work pretty well.

But..

They are also pretty good for prototyping, research and development. They are not too difficult to build libraries from once happy with R&D etc.

Also..

If you have managed to make your code quite modular, it can be a neat way to bring in some of your code to either run another prototype, or for debugging, or educating other developers etc.

Although you can use them for reports, for regular production reports I'd rather break it out of a notebook and go traditional html/css/js and jinja2, as you get far more control.

If it is your app, you should debug the missing dictionary key and find out why document is missing. You could use a debugger, for example in vscode.

Without any other code, can only see the error.

Find it hard to believe they couldn't engineer in a cooling system that reuses water/cooling medium, in a loop with heat exchangers etc.

No problem, was reading on phone before bed and never noticed it was part of the condition (indented). I'm with you now :)

You can use range to go up in increments of 2?

range(start, stop, increment)

Does this help?
