Check out pismo beach right now. Its crazy 70+ with some parts in that area getting to 80. Kinda nearby but insane heat wave right now.

I haven’t seen snow in over 20 years. And we had to drive an hour or so away haha. Its a blessing and a curse.

Its 74 f over where I’m at. Fun times. Winters are quite hot but summer is very bad.

Yeah forms and very basic HTML its good. Anything complex and you have to take over. Great at saving time, like an intern. But a bit worse in that the intern will typically get better and the ai hasn’t really.

That is pretty funny!

My job is 50% coding and 50% delegating/meetings/etc…

We have an issue where we have a VERY proprietary language/system that is very difficult for llms to work with. And the new devs are getting frustrated because copilot keeps trying to push an adjacent language lol. They are ligitimitly having issues coding without llms anymore.

They also don’t have internet. Enjoy shitposting while you can!

I’m glad you mentioned it. My wife and I loved HO.

Go over to https://neocities.com/ and see some people still are making sites like this. I love peoples creativity.

I think I get what your saying. LOL LLM bots stealing all the things.

You may note, im not arguing the ethical concerns of LLMs, just the way it was pulled. Its why open source models that pull data and let others have full access to said data could be argued as more ethical. For practical purposes, it means we can just pull them off hugging face and use them on our home setups. And reproduce them with the “correct” datasets. As always garbage in/ garbage out. I wish my work would allow me to put all the SQL over a 30(?) year period into a custom LLM just for our proprietary BS. Thats something I would have NO ethical concerns about at all.

I disagree.

Theres nothing magical about copying code, throwing it into a database, and creating an LLM based on mass data. Moreover, its not ethical given the amount of data they had to pull and the licenses Microsoft had to ignore in order to make this work. Heck my little server got hit by the AI web crawlers a while back and DDOSed my tiny little site. You can look up their IP addresses and some of them look at the robots.txt, but a VAST majority did not.

There is a metric ton of lawsuits hitting the AI companies and they are not winning in all countries: https://sustainabletechpartner.com/topics/ai/generative-ai-lawsuit-timeline/

I just hate that they stole all that licensed code.

It feels so wrong that people are paying to get access to code…that others put out there as open source. You can see the GPL violations sometimes when it outputs some code from doom or other such projects. Some function made with the express purpose for that library, only to be used to make Microsoft shareholders richer. And to eventually remove the developer from the development. Its really sad and makes me not want to code on GitHub. And ive been on the platform for 15+ years.

And theres been an uptick in malware libraries that are propagating via Claude. One such example: https://www.greenbot.com/ai-malware-hunt-github-accounts/

At least with the open source models, you are helping propagate actual free (as in freedom) LLMs and info.

I just use https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter and call it a day. No AI required. Probably saves me a good 4 hours in the beginning of each project.

Almost all my projects have the same kind of setup nowadays. But thats just work. For personal projects, I use a subset-ish. Theres a custom Admin module that I use to make ALL classes into Django admin models and it takes one import, boom done.

7% last year. Being in a union is awesome.

This reads like a comic from !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org

Excellent work.

I’m using piefed on Firefox via my phone lol. Oh no.

I don’t think they are on azure yeah?

Kinda. Less people used it back then so less eyes on downtime.

But its been a couple of times per month for a while now. And its causing delays at work. Here’s to hoping they mess up enough that we can switch to something better!

Yep at work gonna get a coffee.

If you ever want to mess with a developer, send that on a form as one of the answers and watch them tear their hair out.
