you're twiddling your thumbs for 5 minutes waiting for it to figure out how to change the font size on a label or something equally trivial that you could do yourself in 30 seconds if you'd written it yourself and understood it well. The temptation is to keep deferring the work needed to gain
The point about using them "for every minor change" is something I was discussing with a team-mate just today. There's definitely a tendency to let the LLM take over responsibility for "owning" the code. Initially it's great productivity boost, adding features faster than you could but by the end
So the person who answered was called "Pet Trace" as well? Hell of a coincidence !
May Labour finally f-ing learn that appeasing the Far Right is a LOSING strategy
..and for a bit more fun, discovered this wine-opener on a few years back - absolutely brilliant !
Got an electric toaster? Can't believe I only discovered the existence of toaster tongs last year !
The insane penguin heads to the mountains, and certain death.
Ah... it makes so much more sense now !
Kusto-Loco v1.4.2 now available. The main change is support for .net10 as well as a few more KQL functions...

revision is likely to need to previously generated source code as input.
may just be that I haven't learned to use it effectively yet and should have taken smaller more focussed steps. But however you look at it, natural language is an insufficiently precise mechanism to treat as a true abstraction layer; any attempt to "rebuild" from natural language + small spec
maintaining or refactoring existing code. I recently tried to "convert" a non-trivial application from WPF to Avalonia. The results weren't good; a lot of non-UI-related business logic was rewritten by the AI as it floundered around trying to remove compilation errors. Admittedly the "fault"
It's a long time since I wrote or bothered looking at assembly. My main concern with AI as an "abstraction layer" is that it's an extremely loose-coupled and non-deterministic mapping. That might not matter when generating new code but suggests that you're likely to get in trouble when
That second picture with the scaffolding - wow !
That is the maddest article I have read all year ;-) You want to remove ambiguities in data formats by taking a screenshot of them - wtf ?
“I can’t even think of a single time where he said something where I don’t think he understands the issue here,” said Oz
errr - ok, if you say so doctor....
It took a while to get this going but here's a picture of the first lokqldx release after adding docking; before this it was basically just a fixed input and output window...
Although the learning curve is a little steep, I have to say Dock is awesome!
I sense you're being slightly sarky but apart from being a bit disappointed that they never posted the video from my colonoscopy ;-) I'm actually a fan! Such an improvement over the unsorted piles of appointment and results letters that it replaces...
as the years go by.
abstract 'others' whose suffering could be ignored; IOW pretty much the opposite of how you've (rather literally) interpreted it! OTOH I do agree that outside of that context, it's extremely odd for it to continue to live on as a "Christmas song" and the lyrics sound increasingly problematic..
I'm unconvinced by your analysis of the lyrics. In the context of the horrific famine at the time it seemed fairly clear to me that lines such as ''Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you' were meant as a rebuke to the listener and a reminder NOT to treat those suffering as...
Probably got the idea from Katie Miller.
We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.
It kind of ends up being a shared risk with everyone else in the "pool". If they lend their name to one bad actor then it can reflect (via their name) on everyone else. Still... given the lack of alternatives for OSS, I'm seriously considering it.
Released 5.0.1
From the terms (signpath.org/terms) it appears they effectively lend one of their own certificates to trusted projects - interesting approach.
It's been a while but new Kusto-Loco release. Not a lot of changes in this but it does fix a minor issue with TimeSpan serialisation for Parquet files...

I really wanted to believe in the man but I'm reluctantly coming to this conclusion too. A cautious approach before the election was understandable but if you can't act on what you (supposedly) believe *now*, when can you?
