Yes but it still feels comforting when someone reads what you've written, appreciates it. You can even keep writing for the sheer novelty or muse, but without any feedback, how will you know it's going in the right direction?

Who exactly would you write for when most of the society is zombified and hooked up to fast paced narratives on reels and Instagram? What would even cause you to write in such an atmosphere?

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Here is a working C# code to find h-index; the key is to loop from 1 to max array length, check if h-index fits each one and break where it doesn't to find the max h-index. Though I'm sure there must be more efficient ways to solve it than this one 😇

Entire novels could be written about how ruthlessly tedious and convoluted androiddev is than it needs to be. Here is a vent post I'd made on reddit some time ago.

True that. Though I think there is still some time until AI could mimic human imperfections perfectly with all the nuances. Another way is to use a politically incorrect slang or term which we know AI makers will never allow it to speak?

I think the main symptom of LLM written text is perfect English with flawless "Wren & Martin" grammar. Human imperfections is what AI can't feign easily. A time might come when we must deliberately make miskates to rubber-stamp human written works 😀

And that's not even counting the massive technical debt AI would have accumulated in the long term. Also not counting all the extra hours reviewers need to spend to make the code usable.

✅ Studying documentation and finding solutions is the ideal way to solve programming problems.
✅ Studying answers by top experts on forums like StackOverflow is the next best way to solve them.
❌ Asking an LLM to "help" or "assist" is the least ideal way 🙂

App level tooling like pip, npm, composer, etc. should ideally never be run as sudo or root user on Linux, that creates a grave chance of messing things up.

Local AI is indeed the way forward. I'm researching small scale LLMs like phi3-mini, Llama 3.1, etc. which can work in constrained environments like my laptop.

Indeed, it has been lagging a lot lately, and often breaks before the response is complete. I'm making a conscious effort to reduce ChatGPT dependence and revert to old school ways like Google, stack overflow and Wikipedia for solutions.

This is terrible, even worse than what had happened to Linux Mint website.

Hey, sending good thoughts your way. Hope things get lighter soon.

I am a programmer, not a rubber-stamp that approves Copilot generated code Today morning, I came across this reddit post titled Completely losing interest in the career due to AI and AI-pilled people. They describe how in a span of ...

Isn't it called the CVC (Card Verification Code)?

Imagine one AI saying to another what Descartes said centuries ago: "I think therefore I am" 😀

Mind blowing discussion, Jon is filled with humor, wit and insights as always. I think dire predictions of AI getting human smarts by next decade are all exaggerated though, LLMs are hitting major dead ends already.

For assured guarantees, you can use the --dry-run switch. This pip command will just test whether installation is possible without actually installing it. Once it passes, you can remove the switch and install it.

pip install --dry-run <package>

Pip will enforce the constraints specified by the developer. For example, it won’t install the package on Python <3.4, and it will only install requests ≥2.0 in this example. It's up to the developer to set these guardrails or constraints.

The way is part of the setup process itself. In setup.py, you can specify which exact dependency package versions and python version you want your own package to be compatible with:

install_requires=['requests >= 2.0'],
python_requires = ">= 3.4",

This is great! Is this something that came up recently with 8.3+ release or always existed in PHP?
