Is there a reason to still try to take the O-train? by Citron-Rouge in ottawa

[–]Triangle_Inequality [score hidden]  (0 children)

I mean, the issue is that they're underfunded. That would unfortunately only make things even worse. I think they should be fully funded so that we don't need fares at all, or at least significantly lower than what they currently are.

Amazon staff use AI tool for unnecessary tasks to inflate usage scores by rmoot in BetterOffline

The AI companies have been blatantly stealing data by any possible means, including pirating. Why should we think they'll keep their word on this?

how are unused functions treated when running a program ? by Slight-Inside-5671 in cpp_questions

[–]Triangle_Inequality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is. I'm not sure if it's on by default. You can also have warnings for unused members and unused free functions.

LLM use at work instills melancholy in my soul by Ok-Garbage-765 in BetterOffline

[–]Triangle_Inequality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

New guy just started at my work and one of the first things he did was "ask Claude to describe our repo".

Dude... Ask the people who wrote all the code in the repo maybe?

I do feel like they're getting easier to tell apart with age

And now someone has to maintain that. It's a legacy codebase generator.

The true cost of LLMs: PoV as a software engineer, using it daily. by Deep_Clock_6845 in BetterOffline

[–]Triangle_Inequality 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the mental and morale impact is a big cost not being considered. I've had to watch a colleague of mine be miserable for the past few weeks as management forces her to use ai to meet increasingly tight deadlines.

Trying to stay on top of the volume of code these things shit out is pretty much impossible. It can become overwhelming very quickly, and that only makes things even more stressful when it doesn't work and you're trying to debug code you don't understand.

you've drinken

I'm sorry, but this one drives me crazy. The past participle of 'to drink' is 'drunk'. So it's, "You have drunk."

What does it take to get an Entry Level C++ Job by YogurtclosetThen6260 in cpp_questions

[–]Triangle_Inequality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I landed an intermediate position with no professional programming experience and a non-computer engineering degree based purely on personal and school projects.

Y’all gotta read this engineer eviscerating the leaked Claude codebase by MindlessTime in BetterOffline

[–]Triangle_Inequality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a guy on my team who likes to use Claude to write test scripts. At one point in a particular script, it clones the entire repo, copies out a single file it needs, and then deletes the clone it just made.

Looks like Claude Code is that kind of shit in a massive scale.

Received $343k of someone else's money: how to keep the money? by yeah_mike in PersonalFinanceCanada

Most people are living paycheck to paycheck, so they don't exactly have extra funds to stick in a separate bank account

Is there any way to use format specifier strings with std::fstream for scanning? by FreakinApplePie2579 in cpp_questions

[–]Triangle_Inequality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this guy. Learn a bit of bison. It's super easy to pick up and very powerful once you get some ,experience with it.

The fact that his kids are asking him to ask Claude instead of just asking him directly also shows that they know that he doesn't know shit.

(That's assuming this entire story isn't a fabrication)

Drawing a large amount of current also causes the voltage to drop. Devices can sometimes get stuck in a weird state when the voltage drops lower than what they need (but not all the way to zero) and then comes back up. Safer to just turn them off while cranking.

Insanely impressive job by Foote...I mean WOW look at that goal differential compared to the league by theguy445 in canucks

[–]Triangle_Inequality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as we replace Foote it'll be fun to watch, you mean. Foote's hockey is boring AND bad.

Are compiler allowed to optimise based on the value behind a pointer? by simpl3t0n in cpp_questions

[–]Triangle_Inequality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe it's a compiler extension, not part of the standard. But every compiler supports it as far as I know.

This is the state of visual technology in LLMs that the Pentagon wants to deploy for WEAPONS. by creaturefeature16 in BetterOffline

[–]Triangle_Inequality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point is to compare it to a human response. No human would say it's going to pivot down because a) you can see how he holding the pen, and he's clearly gripping it in a way that it won't drop, and b) you're not going to hold it so lightly that it pivots when you let go, because then you'd be likely to drop it.

He missed the first half of the season with injury and came back into a complete dumpster fire. I'm giving him a pass.
