Oh no! They’ll have to actually think!

It is absolutely possible. Last time I did it, I just had to install the one I wanted and uninstall the one I didn’t.

Microsoft is killing itself with shit vibe code.

Is that how his head normally looks?

Technically possible? Yes. Will Windows installer let you do it? No.

I do not understand why this keeps happening. It’s not that hard to configure a database correctly. I would assume even a vibe coded platform could do it, but I guess not.

Is this unusual? I feel like in our modern hellscape of capitalism, this probably happens frequently.

I really do not want an AI doing all of those things for me. That would be like giving a four year old full access to my computer.

Since they renamed Microsoft Office to Copilot, they have millions of Copilot users. It’s almost as popular as Google+ when Google made all Gmail users Google+ users.

You want magnets that powerful next to your face?

That is the scariest guitar I’ve ever seen.

Instead, Putin should travel to Kyiv. And go out and speak to the people. He believes they view him as a liberator, right? So I’m sure nothing bad will happen to him. Go for it, Putin.

Remember to back up everything before resizing your partitions. It’s so easy to lose all your data when you do that.

The personal computer market is not going anywhere. It may get smaller, but there will always be enough people who want to do their computing on their own hardware that there will be a market for personal computers. The market has only been affected by other personal computing devices. Personally, I don’t think many will be interested in cloud desktops. They’ve existed for a long time, and I don’t know anyone who uses them. Why on God’s green earth would I want to lug around a laptop just to not use it to be a laptop?

The kind of people who would be interested in cloud desktops are the kind of people who already get by just fine with a Chromebook. And how are you going to convince those people to instead spend not only $200 on a device, but then also $30/month on a cloud browser?

Thoughts and prayers.

This is why when you tell it to sing some nonsensical lyrics it will sing it with the exact same “passion” as reasonable lyrics. It doesn’t even know that it’s being an idiot.

I think it’s AI. The artificial part is key. There’s no real intelligence there, just like there’s no real grass in an artificial lawn.

Feel free to try. Here’s the library I use: https://nymph.io/

It’s open source, and all the docs and code are available at that link and on GitHub. I always ask it to make a note entity, which is just incredibly simple. Basically the same thing as the ToDo example.

The reason I use this library (other than that I wrote it, so I know it really well) is that it isn’t widely known and there aren’t many example projects of it on GitHub, so the LLM has to be able to actually read and understand the docs and code in order to properly use it. For something like React, there are a million examples online, so for basic things, the LLM isn’t really understanding anything, it’s just making something similar to its training data. That’s not how actual high level programming works, so making it follow an API it isn’t already trained on is a good way to test if it is near the same abilities as an actual entry level SWE.

I just tested it again and it made 9 mistakes. I had to explain each mistake and what it should be before it finally gave me code that would work. It’s not good code, but it would at least work. It would make a mistake, I would tell it how to fix it, then it would make a new mistake. And keep in mind, this was for a very simple entity definition.

I played around with it a lot yesterday, giving it documentation and asking it to write some code based on the API documentation. Just like every single other LLM I’ve ever tried, it just bungled the entire thing. It made up a bunch of functions and syntax that just doesn’t exist. After I told it the code was wrong and gave it the right way to do it, it told me that I got it wrong and converted it back to the incorrect syntax. LLMs are interesting toys, but shouldn’t be used for real work.

Why would they ask consumers what they want when they can tell consumers what they want. What are you gonna do, move to Linux?
