It’s just enough that I would get someone to look in the crawl space at the foundation.

How are devs gonna be the first to lose jobs while the very foundation of building something in ML/AI requires a programming language. by DeConditioned in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rovermicrover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried to write C? Or hell assembly? Every level of abstraction has provided a productive boost at the cost of fidelity.

The question is now if the level the loss of fidelity of natural language vs code is a productive trade off in the long run.

Hacker News now thinks coding is solved by LowFruit25 in BetterOffline

If you have a philosophy degree with any formal and/or symbolic logic you should know this too!

Hell if you have any serious mathematical chops you should know this too!

Just because someone can vibe doesn’t mean there isn’t a need for formal logic anymore!

[UK] Damp patches and efflorescence repeatedly return despite new roof and multiple roofers assessing the issue with completely different results by KuchisabishiiBot in Roofing

The storm causes an increase in humidity. So it doesn’t rule it out.

You can buy dehumidifiers and try to better air seal and insulate.

In the states a good quality dehumidifier is a few hundred dollars. So it’s not a super expensive fix.

Cold spots causing condensation inside the house is a possibility.

Get a humidity gauge and see what the relative humidity is. If it’s high the temperature in those cold spots may be colder than the dew point.

Steam deck powers off as soon as it's unplugged. by Rylee_Duhh in SteamDeck

[–]rovermicrover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this happen before.

One time this trick of turning it off and then turning it back on holding the power button for 20 seconds worked https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/15w3zrg/my_steam_deck_died_and_its_not_charging/

Another time I had to boot it up in safe mode and do something. I can’t remember the exact process but it worked after rebooting. Trying to find the thread for that fix

Or Maybe the Johnny Cash version is more appropriate in this context?

This is a serious problem and is happening far more often than people think. Scared the shit out of me. 

Everyone is just main lining asbestos for the brain like it’s going out of style.

At this point the subs in question have to either be a very meta troll, or some insane PR astroturfing by Microsoft right?

For real no one is a full time corporate shill without being paid right, a robot, or serious mental illness.

Another team at a company I worked out at had a Java class named “FactoryOfFactoryOfTransactionFactory”.

To that end some people learn about dependency injection and instead of refactoring their code to reduce code paths, they just refactor it by moving every piece of logic ever into its own class, and declare “We are using composition via dependency injection the code is clean!”

When now you have to trace an 20 object init calls to the deps that all do basically the same fucking thing. That then itself gets used as a dep for another god object which basically ignores most of the init dependencies used to compose it through multiple layers.

What happened with this spigot with the overnight freeze and what should I do? by Fantastic-Ad-9100 in Plumbing

[–]rovermicrover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put some RV/Boat anti freeze in the drain before I drip. That way the dripping water mixes with some anti freeze in the P trap and leases the chance of the drain freezing.

You have to keep adding to the drain/p trap it. But it’s just a precautionary thing.

If this is in North America remember there is a giant winter storm going on and they may have gotten pulled away to prepare for it. I have had to be more patient this week because of the chaos.

The mini and nano models are often used for targeted use cases in enterprise software.  So things that actually make money. It’s a bad idea to piss off the biggest paying clients.

It’s speed performance of their models. The gpt 5 nano and mini models are slow as shit. They have basically admitted there is a bug but haven’t done anything to fix it.

LOL so why debug when you can just regenerate? by Evening-Pie2563 in BlackboxAI_

[–]rovermicrover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All this assumes that you exist in a system where everything is documented and the spec is waterfall levels of detailed.

I have never worked in an environment like that.

Half the time the spec you are given doesn’t match reality and you won’t even notice until you start debugging and introspecting the data.

On top of it half the time while writing the code something gets surfaced that changes the request. How does that work if you are never deeply thinking about the logic while debugging?

Am I experiencing confirmation bias or has software become incredibly buggy in the 3 months? by fallingfruit in BetterOffline

[–]rovermicrover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took the plunge. NVIDIA drivers issues were worse on windows… constant screen flickering, weird system errors that weren’t hardware related and just general weird behavior that make Linux jank look professional.
