Another "AI" coding assistant review from the actual field "But for anything more nontrivial, I found it took me more time to validate the code and fix the numerous big and subtle errors than it saved me."

This absolutely reflected my experience and is why I turned off Copilot. The time it saved in typing obvious things was not offset by the time I wasted debugging subtle and hard-to-spot bugs that it introduced.

The most depressing thing was that it wasn't even good at things I'd expect a token predictor to be good at. Our coding conventions specify parameter orders that are consistent across subsystems. I expected that something parsing our code would be able to learn this and give subtle hints to enforce it (autocomplete functions and calls with the parameters in the right order). Instead, the autocompletions would randomly swap parameters at call sites and were completely inconsistent in naming things and parameter order for generated functions.

The one thing that it was useful for was identifying missing abstractions. If Copilot could fill in an entire function body, the APIs it was calling were missing an abstraction.

Answer Engine.

An AI surveillance oracle that confidently serves up the official answer™ — even when it's dead wrong or flattens nuance beneath its weight.

For when you want groupthink, but faster. No need to think, doubt, or dig.

"I asked the answer engine for alternatives—it gave me the most popular opinion and told me diversity is inefficient."

Just so I don't fool you, and just so I'm speaking for the record, my plan to implement the ability to convert YouTube links to embedding in Vue.js was then abandoned.

However, I realized that I could achieve the same functionality with Misskey's summary proxy; Iceshrimp originally had the ability to convert YouTube URLs to embedded videos with the summary proxy.

Bathsheba at her Toilet, Cornelis Cornelisz. van Haarlem, 1594
Bathsheba bathes out of doors assisted by two maidservants. King David spies the young woman from the roof of his palace and instantly falls in love. In this painting, the king remains unseen as Cornelisz van Haarlem depicted the Old Testament story from his point of view. We, the viewers, assume the role of David spying on the three nude women.

#politics Here's something Trump-haters/dislikers/whatever we want to call ourselves need to digest. It does look like Trump is getting things done on the international stage. We'd be fools to oppose peace, wouldn't we? It's also true that few, if any recent presidents have been particularly powerful peace-brokers. So how do we juxtapose this reality with the reality of some of the atrocious things the guy's doing?Are some of these fears perhaps fuelld by fear itself? I just don't know what to think, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I still strongly dislike Trump and haven't changed my stance on that at all. But trying to make sense of the world situation is getting exponentially harder and harder.

while Vivaldi is an awesome browser that I'd like to use as my default, there are two things I use regularly that make me switch back to Safari every time for reasons of user-friendliness:

1. (less important) Open tabs that have been synchronized from other devices are displayed on the new tab page below the favorites (Safari's version of SpeedDial).

2. (most important) When I click on the address bar, the favorites and synced tabs are also displayed there, so I can easily switch between my favorite sites without having to open a new tab every time to get to SpeedDial...

It would be great if there was something similar in Vivaldi (desktop and mobile) too!

I am struggling with my railway work just now. The industry doesn't want what I am saying, consultants want it for free (because I am a risk), and the political winds are cold.

What should I do from here?

Has big industry ever wanted reliable and independent information anyway? (I sympathise with you, but I also say this after four decades of providing science-based information to public and private "decision-makers")

@wolfgangcramer Well I’m not sure the industry actually wants more trains. Which is quite a fundamental problem!

AI data centers demand more water

"In the previous generation, each eight-processor tray had ten 80-mm fans and a large heatsink that together required eight rack units (RUs) or a compute density of one GPU per rack unit. The next generation uses direct liquid cooling with low-profile water block cold plates, with two CPUs and four GPUs per one RU tray. This equates to a processor density of four GPUs per rack unit, a 4X increase."
