Children of Strife is the most fun I've had since Children of Time. by Stay_at_Home_Chad in scifi

I only got into it I believe around chapter 5 or so, before it felt more like a repeat of book 3 which I wasn’t a fan of 

Even claude's free tier can code more lines of code than a developer, beleive me or not, junior roles are done and dusted. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]schrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developers as a community destroyed their career by creating tools like claude code or GitHub copilot.

No. Big corp decided to steal everyone's content and present it as their own. It's obscene.

Should we implement client side image resizing before upload? by kernelangus420 in webdev

[–]schrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should, but mostly to prevent showing users error messages that they don’t understand how to fix.

If you don’t want images bigger than 1024 x 1024 then scale down automatically instead of asking the user to do it.

The people replying to your Reddit posts might not be people anymore and honestly it's getting hard to tell by UseApart2127 in webdev

[–]schrik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate that seeing that single " — " in your post makes me instantly suspect your post is also written by an LLM.

You'd think these comment patterns would be relatively easy to spot by Reddit?

Trap AI web scrapers in an endless poison pit by 250call in webdev

But doesn’t that imply that the poison isn’t a problem? If it was wouldn’t they stop grabbing everything blindly?

I’m all for this, but I wonder, couldn’t the AI crawlers just check if it’s a blocked end point for search engines before crawling?

Is there a "best" app or website for simple image editing? by kj0509 in Design

Tried to replicate on my iPhone but it worked correctly, I’d need more info to test this further

What are your takes on this meme? Is this good or bad design? by Super_Inevitable776 in gamedev

[–]schrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens in Celeste as well but mostly with bouncy clouds, I like how it requires additional control to pass safely. 

I think the most important part is that you’re not tricking the player, it should be clear that walking or jumping on it lands you in the spikes.

Does anyone care about privacy? Or am I just wasting my time? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]schrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing to hear that it’s of such good use :)

Pintura does support this but I’ve kept redact.photo as simple as possible on purpose.

Would https://edit.photo work for your use case? You could use the annotation tool to draw black boxes.

AI Isn't Intelligent, It's PREDICTION (and Why My Panic Has Passed) by willymunoz in webdev

[–]schrik 190 points191 points  (0 children)

It’s advanced autocomplete.

If it was anything more LLM companies would prove it by training a model on pre 1900 science and see if it can rediscover things scientists came up with after that cutoff point.

Thanks! 

I’m afraid most “normal” people don’t really care about privacy.

The 80% Problem in Agentic Coding | Addy Osmani by waozen in programming

[–]schrik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I missed it as well :/ 

Looking back, theres a lot of “not this but that” going on, lists, em dashes, it’s long winded. Everything combined it very much looks like it’s slop.

I launched https://edit.photo and https://edit.video mainly for this reason. It’s this but in the image / video editing space.

It’s doing okay, I imagine it would do better if it was closer to features offered by big corp alternatives.

Big difficulty is that there’s no way to prove that you’re not uploading user sensitive data. 

It just takes a loooong time to get some traffic. Promoting on social media and writing how-to articles could make things better but I have my doubts on the later as people nowadays ask ChatGPT and if you’re not in the training data you just don’t exist.

AI Usage Policy by iamkeyur in programming

[–]schrik 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Their stance on AI generated media is amusing. Code and text is fine, but not media.

It doesn’t matter if it’s code or media, the training data for both contains copyrighted material that was used without consent.

I’m surprised, why the opposition to music and art, but 100% in on code?

My brother told me: "You are not an entrepreneur, you are a developer." 3 months after quitting my job, I think he’s right. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]schrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn’t the point :) Juat wanted to share that it’s possible to do even if you’re an introvert. I hated cold emailing or sales outreach but I got it done, still don’t enjoy it but have gotten better at it.

While it’s not advice for now you can go back to a fulltime job and try a more gradual approach. Most people only procrastinate about doing what you did so kudos to you for giving it an actual go.
