This bothers me so much, my coworker constantly refers to Claude as "he" even when I remind him that's a bad idea for long term, to either call it "it" or Claude. But nope even in front of the CEO it's all "I was just working with him and gosh he makes everything so great blah blah blah, he frustrates me sometimes blah blah"

I think my coworker will be on the short path for ai psychosis

I've gone for the corpo middle ground and my company picture is the Japanese business blahaj in a suit. I've been told, "I don't even look for your name I just look for the shark, it stands out more"

I can't express the amount of visceral discomfort this brought me.

I use AI as a rubber duck, to compliment the rubber ducks on my desk when they don't give enough feedback. So it's use is mostly conceptual, I find that models that provide "thinking" output perhaps more useful than whatever its actual answer is because it asks questions about edge cases I might not have considered.

As for code generation, I hate it. It outputs garbage, forgets things, hallucinates, and whatever thing it writes I'll have to rewrite anyway to actually make it compile.

As I'm fairly isolated at work I think it makes a good pair programmer partner, so to speak. Offering suggestions that I can take into consideration and research heavily if I think it's a good one.

If your game supports controller give me the option to change the button faces to whatever I prefer. Some people like Nintendo button layout, others PlayStation, other Xbox. Whatever it is, don't hard code one set - they're just some pngs, support them all.

Code in Rust and you can get double colons for your library path imports!

That's a tough call, on one hand recruiting (obviously). On the other, we could set up a bot to spam the number to hell and back so they can't get any actual calls

Well if it makes you feel better I hit 100% and am currently trying to learn rust...

I don't know if they'd even be up for it but at this point I think the best option would be Framework getting into it as theyre already trusted by the community.

But even if we get the hardware down there's another issue - we need an open source, government approved, bank approved Wallet app. There's only Google or Apple wallet to store important documents on Mobile at the moment. Frustratingly, some governments are using only those two as a source for national verification which is obviously a problem.

Really? I assumed postgres was the default for basically all open source projects

We're honestly already running on a dev deficit, so for the foreseeable future I don't think they're in any danger. Interestingly, management seemed wary of vibe coding and letting the ai write large swaths of code used in production, which I'd say is a generally safe stance considering the obvious stability issues that have become frequent lately. As for the devs themselves, they're seemingly not interested in really playing with the ai to begin with, but I somewhat expected that as I have different issues with them like "please update your code to GitHub the main branch hasn't been updated in months" and "don't commit pem keys to git"

Sounds like you just want an easy file share server - might I suggest copyparty https://github.com/9001/copyparty

It was made just a few months ago, runs on everything, and can be set up with a single python command!

And yet, despite that was still responsible for less deaths than the CEO

If you do it publically and explicitly enough, by the third or fourth mouthpiece they should be changing their tune

I suppose my views are predominantly that it's just kinda fine? I think it's naive to think that it has no value but also don't think it's going to be the end all be all of tech and once the hype train settles we'll probably have a medium similar to the dot com bubble bursting.

I'd say I'm somewhat familiar with llms in general; self hosting a few with llama-swap, testing harnesses, generally just testing its capabilities year after year. As for my teams we have our singular backend dev, singular mobile dev, and singular hardware engineer who hold up our platform and sold consumer devices and then the litany of customer facing staff.

Morbidly, I only got the job because their ai hype man contractor died and they decided "maybe we should look internally instead", but the general work he produced was a singular Claude vibed executive report.

Looking through some of the docs I'm afraid I won't be able to move off of Typst to this either. Typst has a long standing bug that I would have liked to avoid (lists that are too long will overflow memory and the maintainers seem to not want to temporarily dump to disk) but if even rust has an issue with those 100k+ row lists, I'm not sure kotlin will handle it better.

Cold brewed tea is great! It has noticeably less tannin tasting, if I know I want tea in the future I generally cold brew c: especially nice if you like making different kinds of syrups!

If you like flutter and know python check out Flet! Based on flutter with python bindings, I've used it a couple of times during work and it was a dream

This implies that Pluto is a lovecraftian entity, and that brings me much joy

Okay, how about a waffle house then?
