Do you see “blended learning” combining AI, code, and automation as the new normal?

Could become useful to make monkeys, or you, able to write a hello world program.

Oh, no, that’s just the usual placeholder. Though, … would also be valid iirc, and would fit better as a “TODO” placeholder

Not having tons of code in one if statement, but in a function.

Yes, that was the plan, which ChatGPT refused to do

Never heard of

def main():
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

?

I asked ChatGPT with help about bare metal 32-bit ARM (For the Pi Zero W) C/ASM, emulated in QEMU for testing, and after the third iteration of “use printf for output” -> “there’s no printf with bare metal as target” -> “use solution X” -> “doesn’t work” -> “ude printf for output” … I had enough.

Ask Daniel Stenberg.

Except you now have 2-3 numbers to correctly remember instead of one char

it means more ambitious, higher-quality products

No … the opposite actually.

Look at it positively: Even if many skilled programmers get fired, it’s not like most of us won’t survive. And once the bubble pops, we’re the ones needed the most. Including getting headhunted and good salaries.

As well as unmaintainable code, and in countries with good employment laws and/or employers, extremely unproductive employees. And a whole new generation split between skillful and LLM users.

I’d guess most of them aren’t even capable of actually writing functional and good code themselves. And never will be.

And a glorified auto-complete might be part of a solution, but it isn’t the solution itself. And definitely not the best one.

That I don’t want any website customizing the color, font etc. of links. Therefore, they shouldn’t need access to any properties of those objects after they have been created.

I hate that, in the modern web, customizing is so important that websites want access to the link itself, instead of just stylizing the div outside like normal.

1. Soon to be
2. That’s me

Does one even have to actually write Python code, except for frontends? I’d assume you just load the model, weights and maybe training data into pytorch/tensorflow.

Then you need to ask yourself: Performance or memory efficiency? Is it worth the extra cycles and instructions to put 8 bools in one byte and & 0x bitmask the relevant one?

If I’d have to cut off all ties to things more or less closely associated with negative things (eg. tankies, fascists) I’d just have to kill myself. Which I very nearly did and what’s probably the best option, in any case.

Only one of you is on the lemmy devs Tankie instance, and it isn’t catloaf
