Actually right now US is not dependent on Saudi. Thanks to shale revolution it is now a net exporter.

Though, yeah that still pollutes and it didn’t remove our allies’ dependence so. The green tech should have been the next step.

This moron doesn’t understand that green energy was a new sector where US could dominate for decades.

A lot of countries are forced to import fossil fuels as they can’t produce their own so replacing that with local alternatives actually increases national security.

Do people think China went into renewable energy because suddenly Xi became a tree hugger?

It is a chat bot. It is a good compared to the chart bots we had in the past, but still a chat bot.

The reason it can be used for programming is because programming language is still a language.

They only seen to forget that programming languages were already invented to be a bridge between human and a machine language, but being able to do software engineering is much more than just knowing programming languages.

This makes me wonder, anyone knows how good are those tools at creating assembly code? I don’t program in assembly, but I know that the “language” is very simple, but you actually need to be constantly aware of the state of the system.

Just had the opportunity to test GPT 5 as a coding assistant in Copilot for VS Code, which in my opinion is the only legitimately useful purpose for LLMs.

The best use of LLM sadly is to use it on social media to spread disinformation. At that point making shit up isn’t a big but a feature.

For coding I am still not sold on it. It seems to excel on tasks that were done millions of times like programming assignments at school, example/tutorial code, interview questions.

For me while it helps in stone cases, I still have to go over the code and understand it and very often it introduces subtle bugs or I can write a more concise chose that fits my need. In those cases all the advantages it did are nullified, I suspect it might actually be slowing me down.

It feels to me that LLM is a godsend to all the coders that previously copied code from stack overflow. It greatly streamlined the process and also included all code published on GitHub.

They think they can hire less SWE because of it. Though from my experience all benefits it gives are neutralized by mistakes or does. I have to pay more attention to what it produces to find bugs (and they are subtle, and even then successfully sneak them).

I also frequently notice that I actually can produce more concise code for my user case.

And it is plagiarizing (Microsoft apparently provides some legal protection against a lawsuit, but I don’t know if that is for everyone).

A while ago I found a bit less popular code and it came with library. I didn’t like their implementation so I started writing my own and copilot basically was suggesting the code from the library I tried to rewrite.

I’m wondering about why they got fooled. Have they noticed that LLM can do a better job than then and they think that this will also translate to software engineering?

Copilot is shit.

Exactly, my company provides license for copilot and I use it, and while it has some highlights most of the time it actually is more a nuisance than help.

It especially annoys me because it hijacks autocomplete based on types with is own that frequently has subtle bugs, so now if I have it enabled I need to be on guard all the time. With the traditional autocomplete I could just trust it to be correct.

I haven’t played it, but people say Being a dik game is quite good.

It’s the Register, it is targeted to people familiar with technology.

Same, I got Alexa (the first one with a good speaker) when attended a sales event of another company. I set it up, but after seeing its network activity even when no one was home I shut it down and didn’t use it again.

I don’t understand why people don’t feel weirded out by having an always on listening device.

Musk on the other hand already experiments on adding ideology and use such bots (makes as regular users) on social media.

Microsoft said this, but this likely applies to AWS and GCP too.

What do you expect? Disable console first, then put things in EULA?

Why put something like this in EULA if there’s no intention of doing it, especially as they didn’t put it for EU where such practice is outright illegal?

The “legalese” explicitly stated in clear words that they have right to brick your device. If they had no intention of doing it they wouldn’t put that in.

This was added so once they brick it they can argue in court that you agreed to this when purchased your switch.

Before it happens they put it in EULA which they did.

You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.

It couldn’t be any clearer.

If they going to brick the console they better refund the money.

They use to talk that LLM can replace jobs, I’m more skeptical about that. IMO LLM really is being used to manipulate public opinion.

Grok is used for testing the real ones are pretending to be regular users.

They had the same at SpaceX

That one is the ICE protest that is in downtown and started last week because trump started raiding workplaces.

I’m taking about those Hands Off and the No Kings protests. Those were planned long before. Big ones were on April 5, April 19 and the biggest today. But people are still coming and protesting weekly.

Yeah I would stay away from downtown for now, looks like LAPD does everything to escalate and then use large force because “they had no choice”. Even today they still escalated.

I’ve been attending those weekly. They are very peaceful.
