Kind of. I’m just saying they posted a screenshot of a translation not currently happening and I could easily see it be edited in browser with dev tools or Photoshop for Internet points

Gotcha. No worries. I figured you were coming in good faith but wasn’t certain. Who is pushing llm’s for programming that hard? In my bubble, which often includes Lemmy, most people HATE them for all uses. I get that tech bros and linked in crazies probably push this tech for coding a lot, but outside of that, most devs I know IRL either are lukewarm or dislike llm’s for dev work.

I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round.

Turns out, neither would Google translate

The first one is real but not the second.

With all due respect, how can you weigh in on programming so confidently when you admit to not being a programmer?

People tend to despise or evangelize LLMs. To me, github copilot has a decent amount of utility. I only use the auto-complete feature which does things like save me from typing 2-5 predictable lines of code that devs tend to type all the time. Instead of typing it all, I press tab. It’s just a time saver. I have never used it like “write me a script or a function that does x” like some people do. I am not interested in that as it seems like a sad crutch that I’d need to customize so much anyway that I may as well skip that step.

Having said that, I’m noticing the copilot autocomplete seems to be getting worst over time. I’m not sure why it worsening, but if it ever feels not worth it anymore I’ll drop it, no harm no foul. The binary thinkers tend to think you’re either a good dev who despises all forms of AI or you’re an idiot who tries to have a robot write all your code for you. As a dev for the past 20 years, I see no reason to choose between those two opposites. It can be useful in some contexts.

PS. did you try the eslint 8 -> 9 migration tool? If your config was simple enough for it, it likely would’ve done all or almost all the work for you… It fully didn’t work for me. I had to resolve several errors, because I tend to add several custom plugins, presets, and rules that differ across projects.

I searched this issue and didn’t find anything very helpful. The new config format can be done many slightly different ways and there are a lot of variables in how your plugins and presets can be. It made perfect sense to me that the LLM couldn’t do this upgrade for op. Since one tiny mistake and it won’t work at all and usually gives a weird error.

I wouldn’t say it’s accurate that this was a “mechanical” upgrade, having done it a few times. They even have a migration tool which you’d think could fully do the upgrade but out of the probably 4-5 projects I’ve upgraded, the migration tool always produced a config that errored and needed several obscure manual changes to get working. All that to say it seems like a particularly bad candidate for llms

Define “update”

Fuck Israel

Dumb

Huh

Edit: apparently I’ve angered people by not knowing what this means. It sounds like multiple levels of sarcasm but whatever

haha I think I remember this!

For me, it’s cloud.

Yikes. Blame iPhone (and Android) hiding file structure in most every app

In a sense it is, before it gets compiled. And yes I’m using the term loosely, please don’t @ me people

A lot of times, the literal definition varies from what people think of when they hear a thing. We call a lot of similar things words that don’t fully make sense but since other people will know what it means, it’s useful. When everything is an app, piles of specifics are glossed over. That probably doesn’t matter when talking to a non-developer, but sometimes it might. Those of us in software like the specificity because it tells us many things we might otherwise have to ask several questions to learn about. So yeah, sometimes it matters, other times it won’t.

Yep

I’m gonna try this neat trick at work

Tain planet, he’s our hero.

I had this problem with a fucking bank once. Even better are the sites that silently chop off characters after the internal limit, on the backend, but don’t tell you or limit the characters on the frontend. I had a really fun time with that last scenario once, resetting my password over and over and having it never work until I decided to just try a shorter password.
