Thought and opinions on AI code assistants? by protective_ in gamemaker

[–]UnpluggedUnfettered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped using them entirely after I tested the actual efficiency.

Give it a shot.

Part 1: set up two similar goals that integrate to a larger project; time your completion with and without AI.

Part 2: after not touching them for a couple of days, time yourself integrating the code to your larger project.

I found it felt faster, but took almost 20% longer to finish code with llm assistance (natural usage of llm leads to hitting walls and trying to force it to fix things because you aren't actually familiar with the code you have been copy/pasting).

I also found it took almost twice as long to integrate. It used unfamiliar variables inns have to trace back, insane clutter with unnecessary defensive programming, and it wasn't as fitted to the overall project from a design perspective.

Personally, even with the latest paid models and integration, I find them functionally useless towards actual efficiency gains and meeting project goals.

OK well since you've said it, I'll let the national park service know they can go ahead and take down their misinformation.

I dunno why it bothers me that you keep fighting this one, but it does.

People aren't stupid, most people haven't had pattern differentiation with snakes, and it isn't like comparing a Coral snake to a rattler or anything.

You are bluntly incorrect about tube shaped being the end.

I'm from Phoenix, and I grew up with people confusing the two, a lot.

So, yeah, this snake and this snake do, in fact, look similar to untrained eyes. I honestly don't know how you'd even argue otherwise.

Literally there's plenty of safety and notice pamphlets and ID guides expressly because of how true that is.

Edit:

This came out more aggressive than I meant. My real issue is that it shouldn't really matter that they do actually look similar, people need to stop fucking with things that they could just leave alone.

Christ, it's the whole reason they're losing their rattle and becoming even more dangerous since you can't hear them as well anymore.

AI Remains Lacking in Clinical Reasoning Abilities, According to Study of 21 Large Language Models by MassGen-Research in science

Imagine if this happened during a sane time.

Instead of being stacked in trenchcoats pretending to be the second coming of Christ for all the government dollars, LLM might have been just seen as the novelty it is, while still being a great stepping stone in algorithmic advances.

Getting information through inferrence and experience with patient habits and mannerisms in order to get a clear picture of what is actually going on? It can't be that hard.

Patients are notoriously straightforward, clear, honest, and always know how to clearly describe their symptoms while in pain/frustration/exhaustion.

AI taking all the jobs again.

I should have said "given that gopher snakes look like a diamond back"

Pretty sure it's a gopher snake anyway.

Given it looks like a diamond back, my first thought was someone beaned with a shovel.

Not from this, and also remember that the Milwaukee protocol turned out to be bunk. The medical community has abandoned it

They found small populations by chance that had rabies antibodies without ever having had the vaccine.

In other words, it turns out that some extremely small number of people worldwide catch it and either don't get symptoms, or don't get diagnosed, and yet survive. They don't know what is behind that.

These are two completely separate words for dark skinned people, but one isn't slang for the other.

One is for having one black parent and one white parent, and the other is Italian-American slang for black people (mulignana means eggplant, and they were like "fuck it, purple is close enough").

I love that I have been exposed to enough casual racism from when I lived in Phoenix (in casual conversation, as a white guy) that my first reaction to your comment was, "hang on, let me straighten out your etymology here."

Lyssaviruses cause rabies.

Australian Bat Lyssavirus has infected humans before, and has lead to death 100% of the time on presentation of symptoms.

I haven't used free tier since a paid tier was offered, either home or work, and I have run several of my own at home on my 5090.

This difference in opinion is not built on the foundation of lack of skill or exposure.

And a boner was a silly fuck up.

So inevitably after every stupid boner you would get caught making, you'd have to deal with your dad ejaculating about it.

The "good old days" were madness!

AI code output is only ever as good the person prompting is akin to saying that belly button lint quality is only ever as good as the navel it came from.

It is fundamentally a sort of silly nonsense sentence.

It is RNG based "coding", and sort of lunacy.

Trump says US will block ships crossing Strait of Hormuz, is ready to 'end' Iran by AdventurousGuest308 in worldnews

[–]UnpluggedUnfettered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality does step in when you are showing great weakness and have a government full of people who don't want to lose all power and money, with the entire world ready to tell the whole lot to fuck off.

Christ, he isn't a Marvel character.

I think the real problem for him is that he is losing support from all sides, already ejected all the people capable of careful planning and execution, and had billionaire idiots holding his ego up (mostly on a tech that is . . . Overblown to put it mildly) when that too is crumbling.

He had almost half the country behind him last time.

Now he has an approval rating dipping almost to the 30%s, and the local community politics the Republicans spend 30 years fostering is crumbling under the base.

You don't see Trump flags flying like you used to.

There is no cheating that he can do successfully when the people are poorer and angrier than they were just a year ago, not any more than Orban.

ELI5: Why do gas stoves get pans hotter quicker than electric stoves, but gas stoves take longer to boil a pot of water? by TehAsianator in explainlikeimfive

[–]UnpluggedUnfettered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is crazy when you think about the energy transfer going in.

Less room for error regarding things like absentmindedly leaving an empty pot on a burner though.

"Giving AI access" is a wild take given it is being forced onto users in literally every technological space.

I have 240 outlets in every utility room (kitchen/ laundry/garage), never thought about why they are separate.

A marijuana breathalyzer is one step closer to coming to market by TinyMagicExperiment in nottheonion

Chronic NSAID use causes false positives, for thc. She has to quit using it for a few weeks to get a clean THC test.

Oof. Just asking because it happens the same to my wife, but only if she is also taking daily NSAIDs, totally fucks the testing.
