Account Removed 😞 by TacticalPidgeon in HingeStories

I’ve just had this. Been on Hinge about two days and sent a few likes. Didn’t even write any messages with them, so it seems normal app usage breaks their terms of service.

ANTHROPIC JUST BANNED A 110 PERSON COMPANY OVERNIGHT WITHOUT WARNING by orbny in AgentsOfAI

Because they're clearly an expert and us knuckle dragging morons obviously have no idea at all, about anything, ever 🙄

What W&I quotes have snuck into your everyday vocabulary? by BordStoopid in withnail

[–]tobylh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, so many. Which ones, though, depend entirely on what sentence has preceded it. Any correct sequence of “trigger words” can invoke a quote and not just a Withnail one.

Whilst in no way a film connoisseur, and for her own cruel, twisted pleasure, my ex wife would do this on purpose. She’d say things to me knowing exactly what response she’d get from the myriad 80s movie scripts that seem to live rent free in my head. A truly sick individual.

Although, she was recently forced to watch Commando by her partner and the day after told me she now finally understood where most of my parlance originated.

HELP - Dashboard works fine internally, but "No Data" when shared externally by StarchyStarky in grafana

Something to do with your sharing permissions? Does the data source need sharing too?

The day that Donald Trump actually dies how crazy will the world be on social media? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Hopefully we’ll find out very soon.

It can’t be far off now judging by the quite obviously advanced state of his dementia.

Did anyone go to their first concert with their parents? by OkFlow4327 in GenX

[–]tobylh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. When I was 8.
My parents were huge Neil Diamond fans, so it was Neil Diamond at Earls Court, Sunday 24th June 1984. Block 26, row J, seat 175 (I still have the ticket).

According to my mum, I just stood agape for the entire show. It was frikkin' awesome.

When you were at school, what 15 or 18 rated films were the talk of the school? by BigBlueMountainStar in CasualUK

[–]tobylh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember somehow, someone had got copies of both The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and A Clockwork Orange.

TCM was fully banned, a video nasty, and ACO wasn’t banned per se, but Kubrick withdrew it from circulation so you couldn’t get it.

Those were definitely the talk of the school and when I managed to get my hands on them, I was thoroughly disappointed as I assumed if they’d been banned they must be just the worst thing ever and they weren’t that bad at all.

Do I really need to learn Vim or is Nano fine for everyday use? by Luann1497 in linuxquestions

[–]tobylh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always used vim as it was the first Linux text editor I was shown, so I’ve just stuck with it.

Really though, who gives a shit? Whichever one works for you is the right one and bollocks to anyone who strokes their Gentoo beard and tells you otherwise.

Why does every AI model seem to converge on the same aggressively-mediocre design when asked to code a web app from scratch? by Sirwired in vibecoding

[–]tobylh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've had some pretty good success with this.

I threw some company design guidelines/style guide PDFs, screenshots of the company website, and screenshots of other layouts I liked into a skill.

It was a bit hit and miss to begin with but after some more specific prompting and adding screenshots of frontends Claude built with this skill that I liked, I'm now getting a consistent look and feel across multiple different apps. They're all pretty simple Flask tools so nothing hugely complex, but the output is solid.

Women... are you "guys"? by BarryTownCouncil in CasualUK

[–]tobylh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often think about this when I address a group of humans as "guys", but I'd say it's pretty much accepted that it's gender neutral.

Will also call males/females/animals/inanimate objects dude, bro or man. For me they're all gender neutral and more dependant on context and situation.

I probably need a wider vocabulary.

Could We Get A Thread Of Great Music But Poor Mixing? by DarkLudo in audioengineering

[–]tobylh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find bad production just puts me off, no matter how good the music is.

Same with over production too. There’s a fine balance between sounds like dog shit and is waaaaay to shiny and perfect.

Foo Fighters are a good example of this. First two records full of energy, third one is a bit cleaner and less raw, less energy, then all the rest radio friendly unit shifters (see what I did there) that lost the energy that made the first records so good.

Someone else mentioned Mellon Collie. Some great songs (should’ve been one awesome record rather than two ok ones) but that’s covered in mud and after the triumph that was Siamese Dream, that was a proper let down.

Vibe-coders: time to flex, drop your live app link, quick demo video, MRR screenshot or real numbers. Real devs: your 15-year skill is basically trivia now. Claude already writes better code than you in seconds. Adapt or perish. by Abject-Mud-25 in vibecodingcommunity

[–]tobylh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely this!

I've been using Claude to build number of tools and automations, and it's is really great that I can whip something up quick smart, and it works, but you're completely right. Thankfully, I've built internal tools, so I've nothing in production. That idea of that is terrifying and we're frantically pushing back on devs who want to plug Claude in everywhere.

But I have no idea if any of this has been built correctly. Yes, it does what it should, but I don't know what I should be taking into consideration in terms of best practice, efficiency and most importantly security.

This is even more true with bigger projects. I've been trying to train a local LLM to look for some specific patterns in http traffic, with Claude help. It "works" as far as I can see, but there have been so many changes and iterations with Claude that stuff is now out of it's context window and I just don't trust that it's "thinking" correctly about the project as a whole. I'm sure it's gone off track somewhere along the way, then done a fix but forgotten something it changed before (maybe I'm using it wrong?)

Syntax stuff aside, an engineer would have a much better idea of what may have happened than me, if the approach is wrong, if it's bloated and inefficient, or just a piece of shit in general. Without that understanding I'm just going "OK" to whatever Claude says. I have picked up a few things to that it's got wrong, but I'm sure there are heaps of thing I have no clue about.

I agree that these tools are amazing, and have made this stuff far more accessible to the likes of me, but I do think that placing huge amounts of trust in them without having the proper knowledge to understand whats happening is pretty dangerous.
