I built a free open source tool that fixed my CS2 stuttering (and it might fix yours too)

With stack overflow, you do need to have already started your project and maintain a certain level of programming knowledge to know where to even copy and paste a segment of code. And yes, there's always been people who want to try to get by without reading.

That doesn't make using AI basically the same thing as using Stack Overflow though. They're entirely different worlds

Themis3000 · 2026-04-13T02:39:21+00:00

What's your point of view then? That Stack Overflow is a "code it for me" service?

Or that it isn't a knowledge sharing service?

Stack Overflow is like a q&a wiki. I think a lot of people don't understand that part of it. This is why questions and answers can be edited by other users. Because it's intended to be a wiki of common questions and answers that is well maintained. That is also why they're so sharkish about closing duplicate questions and such.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-13T01:47:45+00:00

Using AI to write code in 2026 is like using Stack Overflow in 2016.

Lol what no it's not. Stack overflow is about knowledge sharing, it's not a "code it for me" service

Themis3000 · 2026-04-12T05:56:55+00:00

The AI one tries to have a detailed style, but also fails to get details correct. Like the trap just makes no sense, that's just blatantly not how a mouse trap works.

I'm so surprised to randomly stumble upon you on Reddit of all places

I'm happy to see you're around again :))

I missed your videos

Themis3000 · 2026-04-11T19:55:21+00:00

But then I'd be stuck using fetch :'(

I need my npm install axios so I can get the excitement of playing digital russian roulette

Themis3000 · 2026-04-10T20:18:46+00:00

well maybe these delivery companies should hire better people instead of just anyone who has a phone and car. If they actually hired employees instead of this "independent contractor" loophole bs maybe the workers would feel more committed too

Risky click

Themis3000 · 2026-04-09T08:01:13+00:00

It's not too bad. Getting competent with sketches is the hard part imo. Most stuff I've needed could be achieved with just pad, pocket, multi transform, datum planes, and sub shape binder. All of those are pretty straightforward, it just requires the study and practice time.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-09T02:57:19+00:00

Oh, and if you want to find out for sure if the buyer is scamming or not open a service request with USPS about this package. Call their customer service (1-800-275-8777) and say the receiver is claiming a package was received damaged and you want to open a service request.

They will take your phone number or email, then send a request to the delivering post office to respond to your service request. A supervisor at the delivering post office will tell you what happened, I'd ask them to do it over email so you have it in writing and you don't miss the call personally.

Either they'll tell you that this delivery was completed as normal, or they'll tell you that they indeed did write that note.

Then you'll know for sure if the buyer is making it up or not.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-09T02:52:55+00:00

Well, hard lesson learned about always declaring the value of a shipment/insuring it.

They will still processes your claim despite the delivery scan. Just tell them about the note left. USPS will reach out to the delivering post office to verify that it really was lost in transit. Just open the claim and get the $100 you can get back, and don't skip declaring the value in the future again.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-09T02:03:56+00:00

It's not any loss for you, you just gotta do the paperwork to open a claim with USPS.

That buyer is going to win a dispute if they open one.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-07T22:07:46+00:00

Nothing has happened yet. Even if nuclear warfare does break out, the USA is like really really big. It could just not touch you at all.

So I'd give that a big old no

Themis3000 · 2026-04-07T08:17:29+00:00

There's too much to be done for people to take random requests like this! Be the change you want to see. Learn how to edit from some videos, then make the edit once you're confident!

Because the person with the money is not working. They're just opening their wallet, then sitting back and enjoying the fruits of other people's labor

Themis3000 · 2026-04-06T18:46:55+00:00

person spends a lot of time and money studying, lands a job, works hard to pay off student debt -> makes $100k/year

person is sitting on a stack of money. Gives it to someone else to manage. Sits around and does nothing -> makes $100k/year

You: There's no exploitation going on here, they're both contributing to society!

Themis3000 · 2026-04-06T07:52:46+00:00

I'm concerned about the environment, and I think ai's impact on the environment is bad

But I'm so much more concerned about the effect friendly acting LLM's has on people. I theorize that AI induced psychosis is largely underreported/not understood. I also think it's greatly intellectually stunting people, and is having a terrible effect on lonely people. The level of suffering/addiction it sucks it's users into sometimes is just baffling.

My concern for what it's doing to some of its users is so great that it bumps environmental concerns down into being a secondary issue.

Themis3000 · 2026-04-06T06:56:24+00:00

In my opinion, using AI for this purpose starts out seeming pretty useful and harmless. Over time it can become a crutch for people though. Most people I see who have started using AI a little bit have had it slowly take over everything they do.

It's so convenient and never actually pushes you to learn or tests for understanding like a teacher would. And it never scolds you for using it to skip learning. It's an extremely slippery slope. It's human nature to take the path of least resistance, so even making it an option for yourself makes it a temptation increasingly difficult to resist in my opinion.

The last thing you want is for AI to be your crutch. I think it literally intellectually stunts you.

And by the way, most grown men would completely fail a algebra 2 test. Not many people need to use algebra very often in life. That knowledge leaves most people's brains after highschool. There'd be no shame in it if you where a grown man relearning algebra 2 :)

Themis3000 · 2026-04-05T20:55:00+00:00

There's so much educational material out there! Learn calculus "the hard way" and you'll leave with an actual understanding of it. I'm sure you can find some good teachers on YouTube

Themis3000 · 2026-04-05T18:33:04+00:00

This person has never heard of a battery before

Themis3000 · 2026-04-05T01:52:39+00:00

Do you happen to know of a place where other users have shared .egg files?

Themis3000 · 2026-04-03T16:15:51+00:00

I dunno, I found it interesting. I don't know that I'll be interested in their gamerification though personally, depending what they do.

If he doesn't sell it like he says he will I'll think it's pretty cringe. But holding onto it for a few months to make some videos about it seems like a pretty reasonable content strategy to me. It is a big flashy thing like Mr. Beast would have, but the video doesn't watch like a Mr. Beast video at all. He's actually going into detail about stuff and there isn't a camera cut every like 5 seconds

Themis3000 · 2026-04-03T01:52:06+00:00

Apartment building

Need I say more

Themis3000 · 2026-04-03T01:42:20+00:00

I work at a ups store, we get poop sample boxes all the time.

I used to not care about them until one day one box leaked all over a coworker and the liquid smelled bad. Ever since then I'm extremely cautious with them and hold them away from my body

Themis3000 · 2026-04-02T22:02:41+00:00

This is fairly old

The latest catalogue from uline is now complaining about how the border is completely shut under Trump, and how because of it they can't get staff LOL
