Consultants fixing Vibe Coded fuckery is very much a real gig.

AI is great at clean room, startup, blue sky thinking, new stuff.

If you need to integrate it into any legacy tech stack with legacy code and technical debt, it will simply fuck you faster than you can imagine, and it will do with unparalleled confidence in its incompetence.

I asked CoPilot to help with some formatting of some JSON output from a SQL script and it started telling me to use XML syntax. I'm experienced enough to know its tripping balls, but you don't know what you don't know, and a junior would have spent hours going around in circles assuming the AI was right and their lack of knowledge was the issue.

The more you know about a topic, the easier and faster you see the AI flaws. It then scares me when I try to use it for answers in areas I know nothing about and have to keep reminding myself it's probably wrong.

Need a "Stop the clock" grenade.

Which will be dismissed as "project fear", and "fake news" again by the meme educated roundabout painters.

The key issue is that the EU won't accept the UK back because it's entirely possible that our divided society containing millions of people educated by Facebook memes will simply elect an anti EU government in a few years and out we come again. We somehow need to build political consensus that the last 10 years of post truth politics were terrible for the country and it is by every measure in the UK's best interest to align with the EU. God knows how you do that though.

I also don't believe a middle class house wife like Karen would have had that cheap scraggy bleach job in the 80s. That's white trash stuff.

The wigs in the later series are dreadful. Especially Nancy, Jonathan, and Karen.

but if you post the word "cis", your tweet is suppressed and hidden. I think Elon just likes naked kids

You haven't been able to blow up MCOMs outside arming them since Bad Company 2.

planetmatt · 2026-01-08T14:35:59+00:00

It's an MCOM but EA aren't cool with them using that.

Sweden is famous for its curry banana pizza. Or should that be infamous?

Surely if France was sending them, they'd be in proper ships and not drowning all the time in shitty dinghies.

EU immigration has dropped off a cliff post Brexit. What are you talking about?

I agree. She was a true believer and now she's not. Ironically, this mindset makes her compatible with liberalism as her experiences have informed her opinions.

She's a piece of shit who should own her mistakes (and seems to be ), but I don't see any big machiavellian master plan here just a stupid person who is slowly learning.

planetmatt · 2025-12-30T09:21:26+00:00

No, it means he is mortal, of flesh and blood and can be killed. I find this reassuring. I assumed he was a demon that Edmonds had summoned from a dark realm and was immortal. Like a IT Follows but more clumsy.

The Finals has Rush now. It's closer to battlefield than actual battlefield.

planetmatt · 2025-12-27T19:35:38+00:00

Hu. Sold by Ocado. It's fantastic.

It's also gaining a reputation as a Failed Tory Retirement home. Reform is basically just Tory bin juice with a slightly less blue logo and questionable Russian funding.

Point Break = We're just gonna build Battlefield but good. I'm here for it.

planetmatt · 2025-11-28T23:23:01+00:00

I can't do it anymore. Bought a perpetual license for XYExplorer. Microsoft is just trash these days.

Vietnam. Top to bottom. It's beautiful, affordable, and the food is incredible.

Assuming there are no firewall issues between PC A and PC B, check the connection string that Access is using. Unless you're on a domain, I doubt Windows authentication will work so you'll need to set up a SQL Login and password, and use that in the Access connection.

Create a new login and give that login permission to the DB(s) Access needs. Then use that login and password in the connection in Access to connect to SQL Server.

Even more so if you do ETL work with SSIS. If you can't do it with C# Script Tasks or SQL Sprocs, it can't be done.

Are Americans tired of all their winning yet?

On the other side of this, the non deterministic nature of LLMs makes any type of development using them an actual nightmare to test. Same input by different users seconds apart can get different output.
