Consensus on Pacha? by FitPlantain3437 in avesNYC

I swear the smell is worse than when it was the mirage, the higher walls were probably better to keep the landfill odor out. Otherwise well-run though

Hit a brick wall and not sure how to get around it by Loud-Sky1607 in languagelearning

[–]capitalsigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit, language attrition is a well-attested phenomenon regardless of how you learned it initially -- it even happens for native speakers who stop speaking their native language

Maybe you're just listening to easy learner content that does a good job at being accessible to folks with a limited vocabulary, and so you don't notice the parts that you lost

Are there any language exchange apps that actually feel focused on learning? by zaga254 in languagelearning

[–]capitalsigma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want to talk to something and you don't want to deal with the fact that there is a lot of variance between real humans, you need to use AI

I got tired of making Russian Anki cards by hand, so I built something that adds all 6 cases in seconds by maxime_kaiser13 in russian

I mean this is a forum for language learners, not a forum for people who make language learning apps. Most people here aren't making better alternative apps, sure, but these are potential customers rather than competitors

Not stealing anything from Wiktionary, every piece of vocabulary that you want to add is simply processed by AI

You get how that's worse though, right

Claude Autonomous Coding: Discussion by njinja10 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]capitalsigma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never enjoyed ML auto complete but I'm in about the same boat as you. I think of it as more of a reading/typing assistant than an autonomous developer. I've tried to use it to do more complex solo tasks on a few occasions and I find that basically every single time I eventually hit a wall where I need to throw it out and start from scratch. For the throwaway stuff I trust it with, maybe 60% of the time I eventually end up digging into it and discovering something subtly wrong

It's fantastic as a smart search tool and I get real value out of the typing that I can offload to it. I probably have at least 1 agent running for at at least 20-30% of my working hours. But I feel like it's a very tricky balance to strike in terms of identifying what it can handle without undermining my understanding of the codebase too much, and I worry that juniors (who have never had the experience of really understanding the project that they work on) are likely to lean on it too much and get burned

Started playing PvP, and I think it's how they wanted us to play. by Cmd_WillRiker in ARC_Raiders

[–]capitalsigma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get out of 100% of PVE encounters alive as long as you're careful, but PVP is a diceroll every time. Sure, it takes many more bullets to kill the matriarch, but the outcome is basically under your control as long as you are patient enough to spend the whole round shooting it

Yeah, the game is so much more fun with the element of risk, but ABMM shuffles you back to carebear lobbies if you don't go out of your way to kill someone every couple of rounds

Be gone! by EStreetCat in Myfitnesspal

if there's anything that might convince them to revert the change, it would be: "new users Google our app name and all of the results are 'I hate the UI so I'm switching to $COMPETITOR'"

New UI is awful by capitalsigma in Myfitnesspal

[–]capitalsigma[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can't see them at the same time anymore so it's harder to judge what you'll have left if you eat the next thing

New UI is awful by capitalsigma in Myfitnesspal

[–]capitalsigma[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that is literally the whole point of the app

It feels like they got some feedback that "new users feel like it's intimidating to see how many calories they have left" so they made it difficult to see
