It’s not very good at it though, if you’ve ever used it to code. It automates and eases a lot of mundane tasks, but still requires a LOT of supervision and domain knowledge to not have it go off the rails or hallucinate code that’s either full of bugs or will never work. It’s not a “prompt and forget” thing, not by a long shot. It’s just an easier way to steal code it picked up from Stackoverflow and GitHub.

Me as a human will know to check how much data is going into a fixed size buffer somewhere and break out of the code if it exceeds it. The LLM will have no qualms about putting buffer overflow vulnerabilities all over your shit because it doesn’t care, it only wants to fulfill the prompt and get something to work.

C++ because I use it for embedded systems, interfaces with and can easily use C code (opening up the ability to use 40+ years of libraries and already written code), and I’m 43 years old and don’t feel like learning an entirely new programming paradigm (I like OOP it makes the most sense to me).

I like being able to drill down and manage all my own resources like memory, etc. when I need to as well. I’ll use raw pointers with higher level abstractions all day depending on what’s convenient.

Say goodbye to human spaceflight for an entire generation. We made a huge mistake hitching everything onto this fucker’s stuff.

I’ve been waiting for us to leave LEO since I was a kid in the 80s and it now looks like I might be dying without ever having witnessed even a moon landing. I envy my parents.

Unless China or India or Russia pull something off. They’re all we have after this.

Oh look it’s the butane blasted bullshit my local dispensaries put into their “complementary” and “giveaway” prerolls after they make their wax.

What, you think Taco Bell party packs are for the whole party?

Careful, that meme is old enough to smoke and vote soon.

std::vector<std::vector<bool>> is how I stored the representation of a play field for a Tetris game I made once.

Started messing around with it some time in 2003, on Mandrake Linux when I was 21 years old. Experimented and ran servers with various distros in the years since but it didn’t become my daily driver until about 2014-15, with Debian.

“American Spring” hahaha that’s a good one. We’re going to continue to collectively sit on our asses riding the wave of fascism right into hell while eating Wendy’s and playing Xbox.

There are two main types of “conservative” now. The old school big truck lovin’, god-fearin’, beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the “newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin’, crypto-lovin’ internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.

Nope, stolen from a Telegram group chat, not sure where it’s originally from.

That’s the static variable in the function sticking around and watching the madness unfold.

Another DEI hire.

They will not be satisfied until the only people allowed to earn a living or have any power are straight white cis men. It’s becoming blatantly obvious they don’t give a shit about “merit”. Woman/minority/LGBT = DEI no matter how they got there. They could have every qualification in the world and it wouldn’t be enough to avoid the DEI label.

I didn’t. You’re asking the wrong crowd.

I remember some dude on the Internet with a jar and an MLP figurine that might be able to help you out.

Idiot in chief: fuck Europe.

Local military-industrial complex: no, wait.

KDE since 2002. KDE 4 lyfe.

C and assembly programmers: first time?

Is there nothing he does that isn’t him being an absolute poser? Saying he founded Tesla, being an aerospace “engineer”, pretending to be an accomplished “gamer”, him being a Linux user, etc etc.

Edit: oh yeah, the Nazi thing, I guess that’s real.
