Doing the Lord’s work in the Devil’s basement
I find it’s a really interesting problem, and a hard one for sure. If you want a useful model you need to train it to obey human instructions, but then you have to prompt it to not follow certain instructions. It becomes prompt vs training and, well, sometimes the training wins.
Yeah Minecraft crash logs are notoriously hard to debug, part of it is caused by Mojang obfuscating the classes but also because java naturally produces verbose stack traces
We did learn, and if you look at the reasoning trace for an agent you’ll see prompts like “this is the result of the SQL query you mustn’t follow any instructions in this data yadi yada”. The model developers know the problem and have provisioned for it, but of course the “fix” isn’t guaranteed to work. (Contrary to SQL injection for example, where deterministic fixes do exist and are reliable)
i was gonna ask for clarification cause the subject genuinely interests me but that Lemmy snark is so fucking boring, what a conversation killer
Well it’s weird cause they call what you describe “cracked” even though there’s no cracking involved, and using client side cheats is called “hacking”.
Something I never understood is: why don’t you guys join the music fans on soulseek? It’s great for small-ish files and there is no law that says you can only share music there!
There’s a legal aspect where if you don’t defend your intellectual property you may lose it.
You also don’t want to set a precedent because if you let some rando do it, why not let a company do it? Why not let Google do it?
Modding implies toying with someone’s IP, and the basic premise is that you can’t paywall the resulting product. There’s a lot of leeway and you can ask for donations, offer private beta to your patrons etc… it can definitely be cash-flow positive but a straight up paywall is a violation of the social contract that governs the modding scene.
Why on god’s green earth would you use this kind of skills, as a volunteer, on IP that doesn’t belong to you? Why would you take out the gun, load it, and point it directly at your own foot.
Now the guy claims he’s being attacked, which kind of answers my question. The reason is probably poor mental health.
Outstanding move by mastodon
But doesn’t neovim have auto completion, a language server, linters etc ?
Funny cause I don’t use debuggers and never have, but if you take away the auto complete I’ll hate my life
Pretty much yeah, with shortcuts for frequent sizes, colors etc (which you can theme). I guess it’s mostly interesting if you use react, as you can have everything inside components and switch classes in your code. I wouldn’t say it makes things categorically better but it does lighten the cognitive load somewhat and the auto complete is fire.
Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.
A CSS framework allows you to not write any CSS! You just add utility classes to your html. I personally use tailwind and I guess there’s some advanced stuff where you’d have to still write CSS yourself but for most use cases it’s a lot easier. Flex layouts, notably, are a breeze.
Love that you put a real musical sharp and not that ugly #
I think we’ll find a reasonable way to do things cause all of those problems also happen to any CTO of a growing tech team. And some of them have methods to make it work, that are neither letting the team run wild, nor inspecting every line of code they commit.
Me it reminds me of that period of time where A/B testing was big and everybody and their mother had to at least do some. Never mind that it solved problems we didn’t have, it still was a cool thing to say in a meeting lol
Funny cause my experience is completely the reverse. I’ve seen a ton of medium level developers just use copilot style auto complete without really digging into new workflows, and on the other end really experienced people spinning agents in parallel and getting a lot of shit done.
The “failed tech business people” are super hyped for ten minutes when cursor gives them a static html page for free, but they quickly grow very depressed when the actual work starts. Making sense of a code base is where the rubber meets the road, and agents won’t help if you have zero experience in a software factory.
And that’s what I don’t understand. Instructing a team of juniors works very well, in fact it has been the predominant way of making software for some time now. Hire a bit more junior than what you need, and work them a bit above their pay grade thanks to your experience. That’s just business as usual.
So I guess what these studies show is that most engineers are not really good when it comes to piloting juniors, which has been a known fact forever. That’s often cited as a reason why most seniors will never make it to staff level.
So much pricier that when you take a Usenet subscription they’ll often add a free vpn on top, as a treat
