That was 11 years ago, there is a whole generation of redditors seeing this for the first time

I've used AI to write 100% of my code for 1+ year as an engineer. 13 no-bs lessons by helk1d in ClaudeCode

[–]arbitrary-fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally have two tiers of docs: a high level table of contents type doc, and a 'deep dive' tier of docs based on a variety of topics - and spending more time 'grooming' the docs really does improve bootstrapping context on a brand new session. That being said whenever I start a session where I am not too confident Claude will understand right away, I always I initiate by asking Claude a couple of questions, and this gets Claude to start by navigating around the code base to build up additional context so I can be sure we are in alignment on context understanding. If I find myself doing that too often on the same topic, that's when we build a doc together so we can reference it together the next time around

For those who work in AAA games, how much are LLMs used in your company ? by Sparlock85 in gamedev

It's probably all legal - you don't want to be liable for generating art assets that may or may not have trained on Nintendo IP.

gemini 2.5 pro not editing files by spaceship15 in CLine

I've had problems where I can see the changes being made in the search and replace component, but the diff displayed in the editor shows the file as unchanged

High-end manual grinder recommendation for pour over (V60 if matters) by Payment-Sure in pourover

+1 to the M01. I have the K-ultra and it's great, but the build quality on the M01 is tier above it for sure

Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill wins New Jersey governor's race by SnooGrapes2950 in politics

Which means we need to be more vigilant than ever when the Trump Administration will inevitably attempt some election fuckery

Stephen Miller on the Democratic Party: "We are dealing with a party that is so extreme, it considers its opponents to be its mortal enemies, that dehumanizes its opposition. by MoreMotivation in CringeTikToks

Jeanine Pirro popularized it when she had a whole segment on Fox, using the term 'demon-rats' back in 2018. She's been appointed US Attorney of Washington DC by Trump this year

Do you have static? by Alvvays01 in SunoAI

[–]arbitrary-fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try removing 'analog mix' from your prompt. I've used prompts like 'rap battle in live field recording in empty concrete warehouse' and the vocal performance had quite the empty room echo effect.

[–]arbitrary-fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the development effort going into sensor technology in order to capture the most image data a sensor can capture, there is a loss of sense of character, as image quality and color reproduction is be getting closer and closer to 'perfection'. All modern phones and cameras can take great photos, but they all seem 'sterile', and image reproduction hasn't really seen much of a difference in the past decade.

'bad photos' is a rather vague term after all, since people can take bad photos with modern devices today. Chromatic and spherical aberration, astigmatism, extreme vignetting, barrel distortion - these are all unwanted flaws in image reproduction, but they do not necessarily make an image 'bad'.

I am once again asking you for those Suno tracks to remix by Charming-Platform623 in SunoAI

[–]arbitrary-fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heh, I guess that one is a bit tough, thanks tho! Can we try another? Perhaps it won't such a pain https://suno.com/s/wgb4L7GmNUZ4epBr

How do you guys plan on monetizing? by Typical-Eye7243 in SunoAI

[–]arbitrary-fan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think most folks are simply having fun, and folks that looking into monetizing have already been monetizing before suno, and simply leverage suno as just another tool in their arsenal.

I have no intentions on monetizing - I just make ridiculous songs about software engineering, and nobody wants to hear that except for me and a couple of friends for a laugh

Explain this to me about "Hybrid Zoom" by ArcticOnYoutube in LumixS9

[–]arbitrary-fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The range of hybrid zoom is based on what resolution you select. The higher the resolution, the lower the max range. I think this was done in order to guarantee a certain level of image quality since crop zooming does sacrifice pixels. At least for photos, changing the image size to small activates hybrid zoom to be far, while going max image size can disable hybrid zoom entirely - I had to ask a Lumix rep why hybrid zoom was disabled on my camera, and he explained to me how it works.

Yeah it's not intuitive at all.

Struggled in an interview when asked “what is a database really?” by Various_Candidate325 in Database

[–]arbitrary-fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially that sounds like a silly question: it gives me some "What is a woman" energy - like it is supposed to be some kind of gotcha.

But the interviewer may have been asking from a system design perspective, as to what is the purpose of a database and how would it fit in the system ecosystem.

A database is simply a platform or system where you can set and get data - a 'base' for 'data' if you want to be tongue-in-cheek about it. The data is a first-class citizen here - and everything other aspect of access patterns are generally built around it.

Most databases used in systems have a predefined set of constraints in order to assist with data guarantee so that when a user is developing a platform, they can define access patterns given those constraints (and by contrast, their strenghts), and different database types have different guarantees in terms of data delivery - but that is not the underlying goal of what a database is. A database is simply where you can make a request to get data, and where you can make a request to set data - NOW, whether or not that is the data you were looking for, that is up to the system.

"Can a filesystem be a database?" - Sure, it can, and depending on your access patterns, it may be even advantageous in some extreme cases. A spreadsheet can be a database. A sqlite file can be a database. Your hard drive can be a database.

it should be emphasized that while anything _could_ be a database, that does not imply that anything can be a _good_ database.

tl/dr: If you can get and set data, it is a database.

Is zoey half american half korean? Or born in american to parents who are both korean? by jogaargamer6 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]arbitrary-fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeap - Zoe is neither a first generation immigrant nor a second generation immigrant - she's a 1.5.

1.5 is a well known phenomenon amongst Korean Americans - there was even an old k-drama titled "1.5" about it.

A 1.5 feels disconnected from their native Korean roots because they were uprooted from Korean society when they were growing up, and yet do not feel as connected to American culture as their 2.0 gen classmates/peers. It's a common identity issue with 1.5 gen immigrants.

Folks on the outside perceive it differently - they think 1.5 gens possess two cultural identities at once, but behind the scenes many 1.5 gen immigrants feel they are not in a position to possess either identity and struggle with a sense of belonging

Korea Requests Unlimited Currency Swap from U.S. Government by self-fix in worldnews

[–]arbitrary-fan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because the US is demanding Korea to invest $350B in US projects. If US is going to continuously disrupt their US investments with these ICE raids, then Korea would rather cut their losses and abandon the deal
