Lol whoever downvoted this must be upset with Stackoverflow selling their data to train AI. Or the mod protests. Or maybe the job board shutting down? Or possibly the licensing change… Actually yea, I can see why someone downvoted this.

No but as someone who started in 1.5.2, I’ve switched to playing ReIndev which is a continuation of Minecraft b1.7.2 and works 32 bit

DisplayPort gang?

And it clearly works, considering I personally know like 3 projects you made!

I mean that’s just the problem with C++. There’s 17 different ways to do things, 2 are always wrong, 14 are contextual, and 1 is reserved for super special cases

I edited the comment to provide actual info, it was originally just the first paragraph

Thinking AI is an upgrade from pencil to pen gives the impression that you spent zero effort incorporating it in your workflow, but still thinking you saw the whole payoff. Feels like watching my Dad using Eclipse for 20 years but never learning anything more complicated than having multiple tabs.

For anyone who wants to augment their coding ability, I recommend reading how GPT (and other LLMs) work: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/

With that in mind, work on your prompting skills and give it a shot. Here are some things I’ve had immense success using GPT for:

• Refactoring code
• Turning code “pure” so it can be unit-testable
• Transpiling code between languages
• Slapping together frontends and backends in frameworks I’m only somewhat familiar with in days instead of weeks

I know in advance someone will tunnel vision on that last point and say “this is why AI bad”, so I will kindly remind you the alternative is doing the same thing by hand… In weeks instead of days. No, you don’t learn significantly more doing it by hand (in fact when accounting for speed, I would argue you learn less).

In general, the biggest tip I have for using LLM models is 1. They’re only as smart as you are. Get them to do simple tasks that are time consuming but you can easily verify; 2. They forget and hallucinate a lot. Do not give them more than 100 lines of code per chat session if you require high reliability.

Things I’ve had immense success using Copilot for (although I cancelled my Copilot subscription last year, I’m going to switch to this when it comes out: https://github.com/carlrobertoh/CodeGPT/pull/333)

• Adding tonnes of unit tests
• Making helper functions instantly
• Basically anything autocomplete does, but on steroids

One thing I’m not getting into on this comment is licensing/morals, because it’s not relevant to the OP. If you have any questions/debate for this info though, I’ll read and reply in the morning.

Using an IDE isn’t programming either

But I’ll definitely prefer hiring someone who does. Sure, you can code in Vi without plugins, but why? Leave your elitism at home. We have deadlines and money to make.

Edit: The discussions I’ve had about AI here on Lemmy and Hackernews have seriously made me consider asking whether or not the candidate uses AI tools as an interview question, with the only correct answer a variation of “Yes I do”.

Boomer seniors scared of new tools is why Oracle is still around. I don’t want any of those on my team.

Found the original, looks like this one is a bit different

Iirc Nvidia also skipped the initial meetings that AMD and Intel attended, where it was decided they would move forward with GBM

I too like my macros not working

What’s LW’s reason for staying on 18.5? Is it client compatibility? Not looking to grab pitchforks, genuinely curious.

Edit: Nvm, from https://lemmy.ml/post/11122503:

We do not have a hard date set for when we will be upgrading as of yet, as we have about 7 associated task items that go along with this upgrade for things we need to double-check and confirm there will be no breakage.

Wish they would go into more detail, but ya

That’s when the real debug session begins

Imagine making 500k TC but not contributing to open source

Quake inverse sqrt is one of the most famous algos in the world. Although I agree, if politicians actually stood for public interest they would force any AI derivative work to be SSPL or AGPL

@me bro. I’ve been writing open source software for 5 years before GPT came along. Keep up with the tooling. I recommend you try it before you knock it.

It’s honestly worth it tbh, even paying out of pocket. Our salaries are how much an hour? Save that and go home early 😄

I’m currently eyeing this PR to CodeGPT, a free plugin alternative to ChatGPT - This PR would add the autocomplete feature: https://github.com/carlrobertoh/CodeGPT/pull/333

CodeGPT lets you run a model locally, and my work computer has a GFX card strong enough to do that. The local models have gotten as good as GPT3.5, so needless to say the money-saving part of me is very excited about this!

Copilot is great. I stopped paying for it after using ChatGPT so much (one subscription is expensive enough, as-is!) but I do miss it. Maybe I’ll buy it again…
